An original method is proposed to extract the most significant volumetric structures in an illuminance image. The method proceeds in three levels of organization managed by generic grouping principles: (i) from the illuminance image to a more compact representation of its contents by generic structural information extraction leading to a basic contour primitive map; (ii) grouping of the basic p...

Grids are fundamental data structures for representing geometric structures or their subdivisions. We propose a strategy for decoupling algorithms working on grids from the details of grid representations, using a generic programming approach in C++. Functionality of grid data structures is captured by a small set of primitives, divided into combinatorial and geometric ones. Special attention i...

As a step toward automating the ability to locate generic objects in an image, we propose an approach based on model-driven correction of an initial low-level scene partition . To accomplish this, we define generic data structures for geometric shapes, along with robust rules for parsing the image geometry and performing a shape-motivated resegmentation . We successfully apply the system to the...

the genus cyrtopodion is the most widely distributed of the four gekkonid genera of the angular-toed geckos that inhabit pakistan and the contiguous palearctic region (szczerbak & golubev 1996), from the indus valley to the eastern borders of the caspian sea. longitudinal rows of trihedral tubercles characteristically line the dorsum of these angular-toed geckos. they primarily inhabit arid...

The set (or family) of 2-by-3 matrix pencils A ? B comprises 18 structurally diierent Kronecker structures (canonical forms). The algebraic and geometric characteristics of the generic and the 17 non-generic cases are examined in full detail. The complete closure hierarchy of the orbits of all diierent Kronecker structures is derived and presented in a closure graph that show how the structures...

Genre analysis as an area of great concern in recent decades, involves the observation of linguistic features used by a determined discourse community. The research article (RA) is one of the most widely researched genres in academic writing which is realized through some rhetorical moves and discursive steps to achieve a communicative purpose. This study aimed at proposing a model of generic p...

This paper describes an experimental generic software engineering environment which provides support for textual documents and the diagrammatic representation of relational structures between and within such documents. We describe the generic software engineering environment, the relevant support tools and document structures for providing diagrammatic presentation of software.
