In the first part of the paper, some criteria of continuity of representations from a locally compact group in a Banach algebra are given. The common feature of these results is the fact that the continuity of a representation can be deduced from the continuity of its composition with some linear forms on its range. The second part uses the result of the first part to deduce automatic continuit...

We present an algorithm for fish otolith growth ring detection using a multiagent system. Up to now, the identification of growth rings, for age estimation, is routinely achieved by human readers, but this task is tedious and depends on the reader subjectivity. One of the major problems encountered during an automatic contour detection is the lack of ring continuity perception. We present an ap...
