Nonlinear dimensionality reductionNonlinear dimensionality reduction, also known as manifold learning, refers to various related techniques that aim to project high-dimensional data onto lower-dimensional latent manifolds, with the goal of either visualizing the data in the low-dimensional space, or learning the mapping (either from the high-dimensional space to the low-dimensional embedding or vice versa) itself. The techniques described below can be understood as generalizations of linear decomposition methods used for dimensionality reduction, such as singular value decomposition and principal component analysis.
Modèle de contour actifUn modèle de contour actif, souvent nommé snake (« serpent » en anglais) dans la littérature, est une structure dynamique utilisée en et en vision artificielle. Ils ont été introduits de manière formelle par Kass et Witkin en 1987. Plusieurs approches sont possibles et permettent de résoudre le problème de la et de la détection de contour en utilisant un modèle de courbe déformable qui épouse la forme des objets. Un modèle de contour actif est formé d'une série de points mobiles et répartis sur une courbe en deux dimensions.
Mean curvature flowIn the field of differential geometry in mathematics, mean curvature flow is an example of a geometric flow of hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold (for example, smooth surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space). Intuitively, a family of surfaces evolves under mean curvature flow if the normal component of the velocity of which a point on the surface moves is given by the mean curvature of the surface. For example, a round sphere evolves under mean curvature flow by shrinking inward uniformly (since the mean curvature vector of a sphere points inward).
Edge-preserving smoothingEdge-preserving smoothing or edge-preserving filtering is an technique that smooths away noise or textures while retaining sharp edges. Examples are the median, bilateral, guided, anisotropic diffusion, and Kuwahara filters. In many applications, e.g., medical or satellite imaging, the edges are key features and thus must be preserved sharp and undistorted in smoothing/denoising. Edge-preserving filters are designed to automatically limit the smoothing at “edges” in images measured, e.g., by high gradient magnitudes.
Brodmann area 40Brodmann area 40 (BA40) is part of the parietal cortex in the human brain. The inferior part of BA40 is in the area of the supramarginal gyrus, which lies at the posterior end of the lateral fissure, in the inferior lateral part of the parietal lobe. It is bounded approximately by the intraparietal sulcus, the inferior postcentral sulcus, the posterior subcentral sulcus and the lateral sulcus. It is bounded caudally by the angular area 39 (H), rostrally and dorsally by the caudal postcentral area 2, and ventrally by the subcentral area 43 and the superior temporal area 22 (Brodmann-1909).
Deformation (mathematics)In mathematics, deformation theory is the study of infinitesimal conditions associated with varying a solution P of a problem to slightly different solutions Pε, where ε is a small number, or a vector of small quantities. The infinitesimal conditions are the result of applying the approach of differential calculus to solving a problem with constraints. The name is an analogy to non-rigid structures that deform slightly to accommodate external forces.
Prime manifoldIn topology, a branch of mathematics, a prime manifold is an n-manifold that cannot be expressed as a non-trivial connected sum of two n-manifolds. Non-trivial means that neither of the two is an n-sphere. A similar notion is that of an irreducible n-manifold, which is one in which any embedded (n − 1)-sphere bounds an embedded n-ball. Implicit in this definition is the use of a suitable , such as the category of differentiable manifolds or the category of piecewise-linear manifolds.
Web Map ServiceWeb Map Service ou WMS est un protocole de communication standard qui permet d'obtenir des cartes de données géoréférencées à partir de différents serveurs de données. Cela permet de mettre en place un réseau de serveurs cartographiques à partir desquels des clients peuvent construire des cartes interactives. Le WMS est décrit dans des spécifications maintenues par l'Open Geospatial Consortium. Un service WMS sert à retourner une image visualisable sur un écran d'ordinateur.
Décibel AUne valeur exprimée en dB (A) est l'évaluation en décibels d'un niveau sonore avec la pondération A de la norme CEI 61672-1 « Électroacoustique – Sonomètres », établie pour tenir compte de la sensibilité moyenne, à un faible volume sonore, des personnes ayant une audition considérée comme normale, pour chaque bande de fréquences. La pondération A sert fréquemment pour l'évaluation de la sonie des bruits environnementaux. vignette|100px|Sonomètre intégrateur en dB(A) Le décibel SPL repère le niveau sonore par rapport à une valeur de référence, donnant le niveau .
Visual variableA visual variable, in cartographic design, graphic design, and data visualization, is an aspect of a graphical object that can visually differentiate it from other objects, and can be controlled during the design process. The concept was first systematized by Jacques Bertin, a French cartographer and graphic designer, and published in his 1967 book, Sémiologie Graphique. Bertin identified a basic set of these variables and provided guidance for their usage; the concept and the set of variables has since been expanded, especially in cartography, where it has become a core principle of education and practice.
