A Note on Shape Matching using a Constructive Relaxation Method

Relaxation with Model Switching and its application to shape matching

This paper introduces a novel approach for contour-based shape matching named as Constructive Relaxation Matching (CRM). In image matching relying on a particular modeling method, apparently similar images can be judged as being quite distant, according to the nature of the modeling process. In the proposed CRM, the modeling stage for a novel input image contour, commonly done in the same proce...

Image Matching based on Relaxation and Model Switching on Contour Characterization

Relaxation labeling algorithms introduced by Rosenfeld et al., have been widely used in image and sequence matching applications. The underlying mechanism of labeling via relaxation is a deterministic dynamical system whose initial status converges to one of the attractors. This is also a process of the input image segments being assigned the predetermined labels in a parallel and unsupervised ...

Constructive Relaxation Matching Involving Dynamical Model Switching and Its Application to Shape Matching

Nonlinear Analysis of Truss Structures Using Dynamic Relaxation (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents a new approach for large-deflection analysis of truss structures employing the Dynamic Relaxation method (DR). The typical formulation for DR has been established utilizing the finite difference technique which is categorized as an explicit method. The special characteristic of the explicit method is its simple algebraic relationships in comparison with complicated matrix op...

A Time-Domain Method for Shape Reconstruction of a Target with Known Electrical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper uses a method for shape reconstruction of a 2-D homogeneous object with arbitrary geometry and known electrical properties. In this method, the object is illuminated by a Gaussian pulse, modulated with sinusoidal carrier plane wave and the time domains’ footprint signal due to object presence is used for the shape reconstruction. A nonlinear feedback loop is used to minimize the diff...
