Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restricted-orientation convexity is the study of geometric objects whose intersections with lines from some fixed set are connected. This notion generalizes standard convexity and several types of nontraditional convexity. The authors explore the properties of this generalized convexity in multidimensional Euclidean space, and describ restricted-orientation analogs of lines, hyperplanes, flats, halfspaces, and identify major properties of standard convex sets that also hold for restricted-orientation convexity. They then introduce the notion of strong restricted-orientation convexity, which is an alternative generalization of convexity, and show that its properties are also similar to that of standard convexity.

Book excerpt: Abstract: "Strong O-convexity is a generalization of standard convexity, defined with respect to a fixed set O of hyperplanar orientations. We explore the properties of strongly O-convex sets in two and more dimensions and develop a mathematical foundation of strong convexity. We characterize strongly O-convex polytopes, flats, and halfspaces, establish the strong O-convexity of the affine hull of a strongly O-convex set, and describe conditions under which two orientation sets yield the same collection of strongly O-convex sets (orientation equivalence). We identify some of the major properties of standard convex sets that hold for strong O-convexity. In particular, we establish the following results: The intersection of a collection of strongly O-convex sets is strongly O-convex. For every point in the boundary of a strongly O-convex set, there is a supporting strongly O-convex hyperplane through it. A closed set with a nonempty interior is strongly O-convex if and only if it is the intersection of the strongly O-convex halfspaces that contain it."

This book was released on 1989 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "A restricted-oriented convex set is a set of points whose intersection with any line, in a given set of orientations, is either empty or connected. This notion generalizes both orthogonal convexity and normal convexity. The aim of this paper is to establish a mathematical foundation for the theory of restricted-oriented convex sets. To this end, we prove the restricted-oriented analogs of some basic properties of convex sets and also present a decomposition theorem for them."
Download or read book Computational Morphology written by G.T. Toussaint and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational Geometry is a new discipline of computer science that deals with the design and analysis of algorithms for solving geometric problems. There are many areas of study in different disciplines which, while being of a geometric nature, have as their main component the extraction of a description of the shape or form of the input data. This notion is more imprecise and subjective than pure geometry. Such fields include cluster analysis in statistics, computer vision and pattern recognition, and the measurement of form and form-change in such areas as stereology and developmental biology.This volume is concerned with a new approach to the study of shape and form in these areas. Computational morphology is thus concerned with the treatment of morphology from the computational geometry point of view. This point of view is more formal, elegant, procedure-oriented, and clear than many previous approaches to the problem and often yields algorithms that are easier to program and have lower complexity.

This book was released on 1992-05-20 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myocarditis and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy are being increasingly recognized as important causes of heart disease and heart failure. Immunological mechanisms have long been suspected as playing a role in thesediseases but direct evidence has been lacking. Recently, animal models have be- come available, in which myocarditis can be induced either by infection with cardiotropic viruses or by autoimmuniza- tion with heart-specific antigens. This book presents and analyzes the latest information obtained from experimental models, relating it to the practical problems of diagnosis and treatment of myocarditis.

This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer vision and image analysis require interdisciplinary collaboration between mathematics and engineering. This book addresses the area of high-accuracy measurements of length, curvature, motion parameters and other geometrical quantities from acquired image data. It is a common problem that these measurements are incomplete or noisy, such that considerable efforts are necessary to regularise the data, to fill in missing information, and to judge the accuracy and reliability of these results. This monograph brings together contributions from researchers in computer vision, engineering and mathematics who are working in this area. The book can be read both by specialists and graduate students in computer science, electrical engineering or mathematics who take an interest in data evaluations by approximation or interpolation, in particular data obtained in an image analysis context.
