We analyze the geometry of scaling limits of near-critical 2D percolation, i.e., for p = pc + λδ 1/ν , with ν = 4/3, as the lattice spacing δ → 0. Our proposed framework extends previous analyses for p = pc, based on SLE6. It combines the continuum nonsimple loop process describing the full scaling limit at criticality with a Poissonian process for marking double (touching) points of that (crit...

A completely automatic face recognition system is presented. The method works on color and gray level images: after having localized the face and the facial features, it determines 16 facial fiducial points, and characterizes them applying a bank of filters which extract the peculiar texture around them (jets). Recognition is realized measuring the similarity between the different jets. The sys...

in the fundamental production inventory model, in order to solve the economic production quantity (epq) we always fix both the demand quantity and the production quantity per day. but, in the real situation, both of them probably will have little disturbances every day. therefore, we should fuzzify both of them to solve the economic production quantity (q*) per cycle. using α-cut for defuzzific...

Generalized parton distributions with helicity flip are studied in the quark sector, within a simple version of the MIT bag model, assuming an SU(6) wave function for the proton target. In the framework under scrutiny it turns out that only the generalized transversity distribution, H T , is non vanishing. For this quantity, the forward limit is properly recovered and numerical results are foun...

We consider inferences in a one-way ANOVA model with equicorrelation error structures. Hypotheses of the equality of the means are discussed. A generalized F-test has been proposed by in the literature to compare the means of all populations. However, they did not discuss the performance of that test. We propose two methods, a generalized pivotal quantities-based method and a parametric bootstr...

In this paper we present an improved color based planar fiducial marker system. Our framework provides precise and robust full 3D pose estimation of markers with superior accuracy when compared with many fiducial systems in the literature, while color information encoding enables using over 65,000 distinct markers. Unlike most color-based fiducial frameworks, which requires prior classification...

Fiducial registration is useful both in applications where other registration techniques have poor performance and for validation of new registration techniques. Registration of 3D CT or MR images to 2D X-ray images is particularly difficult, in part because automated contour extraction from 2D images is not yet well solved and in part because of the considerable computational expense in matchi...
