Airtanker initial attack: a spreadsheet-based modeling procedure

Francis E Greulich
2003 Canadian Journal of Forest Research  
Calculation procedures and potential applications of flight distance moments including the optimization of airbase location are illustrated.  ...  Once this spatial distribution has been specified, the expected flight distance from the airtanker base to a random fire ignition point as well as higher moments of the flight distance distribution are  ...  Thus, moments for the general area have been calculated using triangular area elements; for the highway and access road, line segments have been employed, and for the campsites and rest area, the formulas  ...

Line moments and invariants for real time processing of vectorized contour data [chapter]

Georg Lambert, Hua Gao
1995 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
Given the polygone approximation of contours the geometric moments can be formulated for line contours.  ...  The resulting line moments (LM's) can be calculated for an arbitrary collection of contour fragments.  ...  Computation of all other tasks as texture primitive generation, invariants calculation and classification takes 0.15 sec.  ...

A Ground-Truthing Tool for Layout Analysis Performance Evaluation [chapter]

A. Antonacopoulos, H. Meng
2002 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
This paper describes a new, flexible, ground-truthing tool. It is fast and easy to use as it performs page segmentation to obtain a first description of regions.  ...  The resulting ground-truth regions are described in terms of isothetic polygons to ensure flexibility and wide applicability.  ...  This paper presents a tool that generates ground truth using a flexible page segmentation approach [7] as a first step.  ...

Exploratory analysis regarding the domain definitions for computer based analytical models

A Raicu, E Oanta, M Barhalescu
2017 IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering  
This new vision allows us to naturally assign a general number of attributes to the subdomains.  ...  This new approach allows us to reuse the concepts and part of the data processing software instruments already developed.  ...  For line segments that define a polygonal area there may be used specific conditions to test if a point is included in that area.  ...

3D volumetric muscle reconstruction of the Australopithecus afarensis pelvis and limb, with estimations of limb leverage [article]

Ashleigh L Wiseman
2022 bioRxiv   pre-print
Reconstructed muscle masses and configurations guided biomechanical modelling of the lower limb in comparison to a modern human. Muscle moment arms were calculated and summed per muscle group.  ...  This approach is recommended for future studies aiming to model musculature in extinct taxa.  ...  A correction factor was applied to each of these estimates to correct for issues in the convex hull approach which likely under-calculates segmental mass (see: Coatham et al. 2021) .  ...

Modeling Airtanker Flight Distance between Concurrent Fires: The Development and Use of Statistical Distribution Parameters

Francis E. Greulich
2008 Forest Science  
Moments of the distance distribution, derived in this article, can be used to characterize and evaluate fire-to-fire airtanker dispatch within and between protection areas.  ...  A hypothetical example illustrates how a proposed change in an airtanker protection zone can affect not only airbase-to-fire flight distance but also fire-to-fire flight distance.  ...  F i is the expected distance from line segment L to the line approached in the limit as the area ⌬A i becomes infinitesimally small; i.e., ⌬K goes to 0.  ...

Classification of pathological shapes using convexity measures

Paul L. Rosin
2009 Pattern Recognition Letters  
In addition, the new measures were applied to the classification of mammographic masses and lung field boundaries and were shown to perform well relative to a large set of common shape measures that appear  ...  in the literature such as moments, compactness, symmetry, etc.  ...  Acknowledgements I would like to thank the following people who kindly provided the data used in this paper, and which was invaluable for evaluating the proposed measures: Tim K. Lee and Rangaraj M.  ...
