the objective of the present study was to estimate the lactation curve parameters through incomplete gamma function and to genetically evaluate the relationship of these parameters and udder traits in holstein population of iran. two data sets' including 117583 [(for lactation curve parameters) and 7351 (for determining genetic and phenotypic relationship between lactation curve parameters...

We propose an optimization approach ~o the estimation a simple closed curve describing the boundary of an object represented in an image. This problem arises in a variety of applications, such as template matching schemes for medical image registration. A regularized optimization formulation with an objective function that measures the normalized image contrast between the inside and outside of...

Complex model editing activities are frequently performed to realize various model evolution tasks (e.g., model scalability, weaving aspects into models, and model refactoring). In order to automate and reuse patterns of model editing, an editing process can be regarded as an endogenous model transformation and specified as transformation rules. However, the use of traditional model transformat...

We describe a system for measuring the angle of eye gaze error on people with a squint. The program to analyse an eye image models each eye simply as a circular iris within a sphere rotating about its centre. A combination of edge detection, image transformation and template matching are then used to best fit the model to the image of the eye. The algorithm behaves correctly on 95% of eye image...

-In this paper we present a novel approach to 3D shape representation and matching based on the combination of the Hilbert space filling curve and Wavelet analysis. Our objective is to introduce a robust technique that capitalizes on the localization-preserving nature of the Hilbert space filling curve and the approximation capabilities of the Wavelet transform. Our technique produces a concise...

Enabling large-scale deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) in the near future requires answering question firstly: whether AVs could safely adapt to as-built road geometry? This study aims examine feasibility current spiral curve design controls for LiDAR-based (LAVs) from perspective available sight distance (ASD). A series tests featuring speed (Vd), lengths tangent (LT) and (LS), circular r...

The temperature tuning of BaGa4Se7 (BGSe) was demonstrated for the first time, to best our knowledge. When BGSe (56.3°,0°) raised from 30°C 140°C, idler light under type I 3637 nm 3989 nm, tunable range reached 352 and ??2/?T 3.20 nm/°C. We calculated phase matching curve when ? T took different values. relationship between ? obtained by fixing at 0°. maximum its corresponding (?, ?) were repor...
