Proportional symbol maps are frequently used to represent numerical data. Commonly used symbols are squares or circles that are area-proportional to the numerical values. Proportional-symbol mapping is included in most geographic information systems (GIS) and is frequently used in digital atlases or Web mapping engines. Graduated symbols are simple for the map author to generate and easy for th...

An image difference structure is created that include of image regularization, feature derivation, and feature grouping. Based on this structure image difference measure is created by selecting exact implementations for each of the steps. An image difference prediction is then calculated using image difference features (IDFs) that are derived from the images. The input images are then regulariz...

the purpose of this research was to determine the effect of modified atmosphere packaging (map) containing high carbon dioxide gas concentrations on the quality of sayer dates, to be used as a safe alternative to methyl bromide fumigation. different percentages of gases (85% co2 + 3% o2 + 12% n2; 75% co2 + 12% o2 + 13% n2; 34% co2 + 37% o2 + 29% n2) were injected into the cellophane packages. t...

Some kind of data has its value and subsidiary data of geographical information. This paper presents a method to visualize this kind of data. A typical example of the data is a value with location information that the value is measured. It helps viewers understanding them to show both of the values and geographical information at the same time. The method we propose plots data on a map using ci...

To aim at the defect that the classic significant region detection algorithm IG suppresses the most significant pixels, a novel saliency detection method combined with neighborhood inhomogeneity factor NIF is put forward. This algorithm achieves the satisfying result in static image saliency detection. Firstly, IG saliency map is obtained according to the IG algorithm, and then the NIF saliency...

It has been shown that there is a universal scaling function describing the cross-over of the effective Feigenbaum convergence rate 8 from its conservative value (8 = 8.721097 . . . . ) to its dissipative value (8 = 4.669201 . . . . ), as a function of the "effective dissipation". Using renormalization theory I obtain an explicit analytical expression for this cross-over function and show that ...

In this paper, two new geodesic distance transforms for gray-scale images are presented. The first transform, the Distance Transform on Curved Space (DTOCS), performs the calculation with integer numbers. The second transform, the Weighted Distance Transform on Curved Space (WDTOCS), gives a weighted distance map with real numbers for an arbitrary gray-value image. Both transforms give a distan...
