On Detection And Use Of Reflectional Symmetry In Computer Vision., Dipti Prasad Mukherjee Dr. Jul 1995

On Detection And Use Of Reflectional Symmetry In Computer Vision., Dipti Prasad Mukherjee Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The problems of detection and use of reflectional symmetry in the images of planar shape contours are studied. Symmetry, in general, provides important shape representation cues, some of which we utilise here, to acquire viewpoint information and, towards model based shape matching. We concentrate on local reflectional symmetries of emoothly curved planar objecta, though the methoda are equally applicable to polygonal objects; even this could be extended to certain three-dimensional shapes and for other object relations such as rotational symmetry.Under the affine or perspective approximation to image projection, properties of geometrie invariance are used to find (reflectional) symmetric contour pairs. …


Some Problems In Equivariant Topology., Aniruddha C. Naolekar Dr. Feb 1995

Some Problems In Equivariant Topology., Aniruddha C. Naolekar Dr.

Doctoral Theses

This thesis has grown out of efforts to understand in an equivariant set up two old problems which were revived and developed extensively by Quillen, and also by others. The first problem concerns a de Rham type theorem over the field of rationals Q for a G-simplicial set where G is a finite group. The second problem deals with equivariant plus construction, classification of equivariant acyclic maps, and equivariant G-homotopy type of a G-space where G is a compact Lie group. More specifically, the content of the thesis is governed by the following two theorems, and our main objective is …
