This paper contains an algorithm and a computer programm for a natural from the human point of view splitting into sections of a two-dimensional pic-ture* Contemplating a picture, a human being draws in his imagination borders, sorting out sections, which he supposes to be homogeneous for the time being, in spite of their posessing an internal structure Some times such borders are drawn followi...

Zoning has always been one of the basic tools of land use control available. Zoning is the regulation and restriction of land uses according to a predetermined plan. This paper will present a look at conventional zoning, its origins, the evolution of the zoning, and the scope of zoning types. Regardless of the varieties, most zoning codes can be classified into at least one of the following bro...

An approach to the creation of musical material, coined here as “textural composition,” addresses aesthetic consequences of real-time stochastic sound mass composition. Musical texture as source material exists between sound-object (singular) and sound-objects (plural), inducing an aesthetic of the intermediary. Since sound diffusion is inextricably linked to composition, spatialization require...

Motion estimation is a key problem in the analysis of image sequences. From a sequence of images we can only estimate an approximation of the image motion field called optical flow. We propose to improve optical flow estimation by including information from images of textural features. We compute the optical flow from intensity and textural images from first-order derivatives, then combine esti...

A computer software system is designed for the automatic discrimination of benign tumor from malignant tumor in brain CT examinations. Image analysis methods were applied to the images of 40 benign images and 40 malignant images. Textural features extracted from the gray level co-occurrence matrix of the tumor images and back propagation neural network classifier were employed for the design of...

In this paper, we propose a new visual inspection method of defect detection on textile surfaces; selectively removing the textural information from textile surfaces. For this purpose we use Wavelet Shrinkage, which was originally proposed by Donoho & Johnstone as a method to remove Gaussian white noise. We also propose a modification of Wavelet Shrinkage to selectively remove textural informat...

Metapelitic rocks in the Gasht area include micaschist, kyanite schist, andalusite schist, garnet schist, staurolite schist, cordierite schist and sillimanite schist. Tourmaline occurs as accessory mineral in all of these rock types. These schists are metamorphosed regionally and are affected by contact metamorpism subsequently. Based on the textural relations and the fact that CaO and TiO2 con...

Ocean-zoning arguments often center on the biology of ocean species, the geography of fishing-use patterns, and the need for preventing use conflicts. Here we expand this discussion to the social and legal aspects of ocean zoning, focusing on comprehensive planning, segregation of activities into use-priority areas, and the allocation of user rights within each zone. The inclusion of all of the...
