A Pattern Theoretic Study of Biological Shapes
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper describes a technique for estimating motions of rigid targets based on the deformable template representations of complex scenes. The efficient modeling of representations for variabilities manifest...
Chapter
The experiment has shown that the global shape model has enough descriptive power for the analysis of the real pictures we studied. For picture ensembles of the type studied the model will not need any essential ...

Chapter
Is it possible to mechanize human intuitive understanding of biological pictures that typically exhibit a lot of variability but also possess characteristic structure?
Chapter
The task of restoring a noisy image is facilitated by having models and algorithms already available for synthesis. When we developed the code it was both possible and convenient to use the same code for both ...
Chapter
The synthesis experiments have given us some insight in how the global shape models function and how they are influenced by their parameters. Synthesis experiments should not, of course, be considered as suffi...
Chapter
We shall now apply the random shape model to hand pictures and start with simulation experiments. This will help us to get an intuitive understanding of the model and the prior measure it represents, what is t...
Chapter
The prior induced by the Gibbs density (1.6) cannot be simulated directly for a general acceptor function and for n-values of practical interest. We shall therefore apply stochastic relaxation that has earlier be...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In the study of regular structures the map**s between them play a central role, just as is the case in algebra in general. One there-fore examines homomorphisms, isomorphisms, and deformations between regula...

Chapter
In this book we shall continue the mathematical study of regular structures begun in Volume I. With the help of the concepts of pattern synthesis introduced in the previous volume, we now turn to the inverse p...
Chapter
Let us consider lattice point patterns as described in Volume 1, Section 3.5, subject to deformations of the type jittered crystal, Volume 1, Section 4.2.
Chapter
Imagine a hypothetical being — let us use the name Ω — living in an environment or microworld from which it receives sensory inputs. The pattern structure that Ω is confronted by is assumed unknown to start wi...
Chapter
The basic concepts of pattern theory consist of objects and relations. The pattern objects are generators, configurations, pure and deformed images, pattern classes. The pattern relations are given in terms of si...
Chapter
Temporal patterns are defined through generators of contrast type: they can be given as functions on the real line and taking values in some contrast space. There are many sorts of temporal patterns where the ...
Chapter
In this chapter the generators will be given as certain subsets of the background space X = R2 or R3 with similarity groups EG(2) - EG(3) or TRANS(2) - TRANS(3). Examples of combinatory rules ℛ suitable for set p...
Chapter
In Chapter 6, we studied a network 𝒩 that could modify itself in order to learn at least some of the patterns appearing in its environment. This was done by modifying the coupling coefficients of 𝒩, i.e. by chang...
Chapter
In Sections 2.1 – 2.3 we shall treat (linear) sequence images with abstract symbols. The configurations need not have linear connection type, however, and we shall study what happens when different deformation...
