AbstractStructural assessment and seismic vulnerability of ancient masonry buildings is a difficult task even when employing advanced specialized technical skills, which requires complex study. T...

This paper describes Idries Shah's Sufism thinking as a counter to religious formalism. Because formalism will give birth an exclusive nature and lead religious-based radicalism. Therefore, this study really needs be done in order realize people who are inclusive tolerant. research was carried out by library research, analyzing the original writings of Shah. Data were collected through document...

In this paper, we extend Mumford-Shah energy, the most general model for image segmentation on the assumption that all visible surface patches have intensity which is slowly varying plus noise, to unsupervised texture segmentation by considering multiple channels including both colors and Gabor wavelets representations. The Mumford-Shah energy in the paper thus formalizes a tradeoff between reg...

Brain MR image segmentation is an important research topic in medical image analysis area. In this paper, we propose an active contour model for brain MR image segmentation, based on a generalized level set formulation of the Mumford-Shah functional. The model embeds explicitly gradient information into the Mumford-Shah functional, and incorporates in a generic framework both regional and gradi...

In this paper we present a video segmentation procedure obtained minimizing a modified version of the simplified Mumford Shah functional used for image partition. This procedure uses a graph with spatial and temporal connections to model a video sequence. The temporal connections are defined pre-computing the dense optical flow using methods available in the literature. To simplify the function...
