This paper proposes a directional image force (DIF) for active contouring. DIF is the inner product of the zero crossing strength (ZCS) of wavelet frame coefficients, and the normal of a snake, by representing strength and orientation of edges at multiple resolution levels. DIF markedly improves the immunity of snakes to noise and convexity.

This thesis investigates Learning Classifier System architectures for decision making in continuous-valued domains. The information contained in continuous-valued domains is not always conveniently expressed using the ternary representation typically used by Learning Classifier Systems and an interval-based representation is a natural choice. Two intervalbased representations recently proposed ...

A ZCS/PO/FCNPi–MO composite was constructed by a two-step photochemical synthesis strategy and used for efficient tandem application of photocatalytic partial water splitting overall splitting.

Previous work has studied the use of interval representations in XCS to allow its use in continuous-valued environments. Here we compare the speed of learning of continuous-valued versions of ZCS and XCS with a simple model of an online environment.

Abstract The reliability of a test obtained over time is an indispensable measure to ensure the use instrument. This study aims explore temporal stability Zulliger in Brazilian adults. A total 20 participants, aged 18 59 years, answered sociodemographic questionnaire and Comprehensive System (ZCS). Data collection took place from 2009 2019 (Test) 2021 (Retest). ANOVA did not show differences be...

This paper presents a fully soft switched high step-up DC–DC converter based on quasi-Z-source converter. The voltage gain is boosted by combining coupled inductors and capacitor techniques. Moreover, ZVT cell comprising of only single switch an inductor to the utilized reduce magnetic cores realize switching for all semiconductors without imposing any extra or current stress elements. main ope...

In this article, a new non-isolated interleaved DC–DC converter is proposed to provide high voltage conversion ratio in renewable energy systems. The configuration composed of two-phase boost integrating voltage-lift capacitor and three-winding coupled inductor-based multiplier modules achieve step-up reduce stresses on the semiconductors (switches diodes). can when working at proper duty ratio...
