On Texture Image Analysis Using Fractal Geometry Based Features., Nirupam Sarkar Dr.
On Texture Image Analysis Using Fractal Geometry Based Features., Nirupam Sarkar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Visual textureTexture is a property to characterize a region of a scene. A set of natural texture images is shown in Fig. 1.1. A specific texture may be generated due to certain organization of several objects in a region, or due to the reflectance pattern caused by color variation or unevenness of an object surface. Since texture provides a lot of information of a region, texture analysis and synthesis are important components of digital image processing.It is difficult to provide a formal definition of texture although we perceive and recognize texture rather easily. According to Sklansky [152) "A region in …
Neuro-Fuzzy Models For Classification And Rule Generation., Sushmita Mitra Dr.
Neuro-Fuzzy Models For Classification And Rule Generation., Sushmita Mitra Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Machine recognition [1, 2] of patterns can be viewed as a two-fold task, consisting of learning the invariant and common properties of a set of samples characterizing a class, and of deciding a new sample as a possible member of the class by noting that it has properties common to those of the set of samples. In other words, pattern recognition by computers can be described as a transformation from the measurenment space M to the feature space F and finally to the decision space D (1), i.e., M ⟶F⟶D.Here, the mapping 6 : F⟶D is the decision function and …
Connectionist Models For Certain Tasks Related To Object Recognition., Jayanta Basak Dr.
Connectionist Models For Certain Tasks Related To Object Recognition., Jayanta Basak Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Recognition of objects in an image, according to Suetens et al. [1), relers to the task of finding and labeling parts of a two-dimensional image of a scene that correspond to the real objects in the scene. Object recognition is necessary in a variety of domains like robot navigation, aerial imagery analysis, industrial inspection and so on. Normally, different strategies for object recognition (1-(5] involve establishing some model for each object, i.e., some general description of each object, and then labeling different parts of the scene according to the knowledge about the models.Object models can have two-dimensional (2D) or three-climensional …
On Detection And Use Of Reflectional Symmetry In Computer Vision., Dipti Prasad Mukherjee Dr.
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. …

Essays In Dynamic Games., Saikat Datta Dr.
Essays In Dynamic Games., Saikat Datta Dr.
Doctoral Theses
This thesis contains four essays which broadly come under the area of Dynamic Games. All the essays involve developments or applications of non-cooperative equilibrium concepts to games played over infinite horizons. The two essays in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 involve the concept of renegotiation proof equilibriain repeated games. The essay in Chapter 4 discusses how a social norm of slow building of trust in bilateral relationships can be understood as a social equi- librium even in the absence of asymmetric information problems. Chapter 5, which represents joint work with Prabal Raychaudhuri, applies non-cooperative bargaining theory to a context where …

Computer Squares And Principal Graphs Of Subfactors., Uma Krishnan Dr.
Computer Squares And Principal Graphs Of Subfactors., Uma Krishnan Dr.
Doctoral Theses
This thosin in devoted to the study of aome probloms related to the inclusion of a pair of (usually hyperfinite) Ili factors R. Specifically, the following and the relation between them are studied:(a) pairs of graphs which can occur as principal grapha for NC M;(b) construction of commuting squares starting with a pair of finite graphs;(c) computation of the higher relative commutants of sublactorn con- structed from specific commuting squares.The first chapter is introductory in nature and is included for the sake of comploteness and convenience of reference. It contains a rather perfunctory description of the basic construction for a …
Asymptotic Properties Of Posterior Distributions And Study Of Some Nonregular Cases., Subhashis Ghosal Dr.
Asymptotic Properties Of Posterior Distributions And Study Of Some Nonregular Cases., Subhashis Ghosal Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The asymptotic approach to statistical estimation is frequently adopted be cause of ita general applicability and relative simplicity. The modern study of asymptotic theory, initiated in Le Cam (1953), has undergone a vigorous devel- opment through the classic works of Le Cam, Hájek, Bahadur, Ibragimov and Has'minskii (Khas'minskii), Bickel, Pfanzagl, Millar and many other scholars; see Le Cam (1986), Le Cam and Yang (1990), Ibragimov and Has'minskii (1981) and the review article by Ghosh (1985) for an account of this development.Most of the results in asymptotic theory of estimation are obtained under the classical Cramér-Rao type regularity conditions or their …
Calibration Of A Conceptual Rainfall-Runoff Model Using Simulated Annealing, Neil R. Sumner
Calibration Of A Conceptual Rainfall-Runoff Model Using Simulated Annealing, Neil R. Sumner
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Simulated annealing (Kirkpatrick et al, 1983) is used to estimate the parameters of a mathematical model that predicts the water yield from a catchment. The calibration problem involves finding the global minimum of a multivariate function that has many extraneous local minima, a situation in which conventional optimisation methods are ineffective. The objective function which quantifies discrepancies between the computed and observed streamflows must be carefully selected to satisfy the least square assumptions. Several published simulated annealing algorithms have been implemented, tested and evaluated using standard test functions. Appropriate cooling schedules are found for each algorithm and test function investigated. …

The game Klappenspiel ("flipping game") is a traditional German game of flipping tiles according to dice rolls. In this paper, we derive the optimal strategy for this game by using dynamic programming. We show that the probability of winning using the optimal strategy is 0.30%.
