We propose a new approach to quantifying fault system geometry, using an objective fit of the fault geometry to a test function, specifically here a fault branch. Fitting a “Y” shaped object using a cost function to dextral faults in California, we find a number of significant results arising from using a systematic, objective, quantitative approach. (1) The largest angle of the branch structur...

In this paper a soft-decision approach for symbol segmentation within on-line sampled handwritten mathematical expressions is presented. Based on stroke-specific features as well as geometrical features between the strokes a symbol hypotheses net is generated. For assistance additional knowledge obtained by a symbol prerecognition stage is used. The results achieved by the segmentation and prer...

Face recognition, means checking for the presence of a face from a database that contains many faces and could be performed using the different features. The face images considered for recognition undergo large variations due to changes in the illumination conditions, viewing direction, facial expression and aging. The face images have similar geometrical features. Hence, it is a challenging ta...
