Summary

In this chapter we have explained what an image data is and how it is stored in raster graphics and vector graphics. We then discussed some of the image representation techniques like quadtrees, virtual quadtrees, octrees, R-trees and translation invariant data structures. Finally, we have given a brief introduction to Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems.

For more information on image retrieval concepts see 4], [5], [25], [26].

Binary Space Partitioning Trees:BSP Tree as a Hierarchy of Regions.

BSP Tree as a Hierarchy of Regions Another way to look at BSP Trees is to focus on the hierarchy of regions created by the recursive partitioning, instead of focusing on the hyperplanes themselves. This view helps us to see more easily how intersections are efficiently computed. The key idea is to think of a BSP Tree region as serving as a bounding volume: each node v corresponds to a convex volume that completely contains all the geometry represented by the sub tree rooted at v . Therefore, if some other geometric entity, such as a point, ray, object, etc., is found to not intersect the bounding volume, then no intersection computations need be performed with any geometry within that volume. Consider as an example a situation in which we are given some test point and we want to find which object if any this point lies in. Initially, we know only that the point lies somewhere space ( Figure 20.12). By comparing the location of the point with respect to the first partitioning hyper pl...

Data Structure Visualization:Introduction and Value of Data Structure Rendering

Introduction Important advances in programming languages have occurred since the early days of assembly languages and op codes, and modern programming languages have significantly simplified the task of writing computer programs. Unfortunately, tools for un d e rstanding programs have not achieved the accompanying levels of improvement. Software developers still face difficulties in understanding, analyzing, debugging, and improving code. As an example of the difficulties still evident, consider a developer who has just implemented a new algorithm and is now ready to examine the program’s behavior. After issuing a command to begin program execution, the developer examines output data and/or inter- active behavior, attempting to ascertain if the program functioned correctly, and if not, the reasons for the program’s failure. This task can be laborious and usually requires the use of a debugger or perhaps even the addition of explicit checking code, usually through output statements. Furt...

0 / 1 Knapsack Problem Memory function Definition: Given a set of n items of known weights w1,…,wn and values v1,…,vn and a knapsack of capacity W, the problem is to find the most valuable subset of the items that fit into the knapsack. Knapsack problem is an OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM Dynamic programming approach to solve knapsack problem Step 1: Identify the smaller sub-problems. If items are labeled 1..n, then a sub-problem would be to find an optimal solution for Sk = {items labeled 1, 2, .. k } Step 2: Recursively define the value of an optimal solution in terms of solutions to smaller problems. Initial conditions: S te p 3: Bottom up computation using iteration Question: Apply bottom-up dynamic programming algorithm to the following instance of the knapsack problem Capacity W= 5 Solution: Using dynamic programming approach, we have: What is the composition of the optimal subset? The composition of the optimal subset if found by tracing back the computations for the...
