Weighted Radon transforms for which the Chang approximate inversion formula is precise
We describe all weighted Radon transforms on the plane for which the Chang
approximate inversion formula is precise. Some subsequent results, including
the Cormack type inversion for these transforms, are also given
The flip-graph of the 4-dimensional cube is connected
Flip-graph connectedness is established here for the vertex set of the
4-dimensional cube. It is found as a consequence that this vertex set has 92
487 256 triangulations, partitioned into 247 451 symmetry classes.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures, revised proofs and notation
A uniform reconstruction formula in integral geometry
A general method for analytic inversion in integral geometry is proposed. All
classical and some new reconstruction formulas of Radon-John type are obtained
by this method. No harmonic analysis and PDE is used
MinMax Radon Barcodes for Medical Image Retrieval
Content-based medical image retrieval can support diagnostic decisions by
clinical experts. Examining similar images may provide clues to the expert to
remove uncertainties in his/her final diagnosis. Beyond conventional feature
descriptors, binary features in different ways have been recently proposed to
encode the image content. A recent proposal is "Radon barcodes" that employ
binarized Radon projections to tag/annotate medical images with content-based
binary vectors, called barcodes. In this paper, MinMax Radon barcodes are
introduced which are superior to "local thresholding" scheme suggested in the
literature. Using IRMA dataset with 14,410 x-ray images from 193 different
classes, the advantage of using MinMax Radon barcodes over \emph{thresholded}
Radon barcodes are demonstrated. The retrieval error for direct search drops by
more than 15\%. As well, SURF, as a well-established non-binary approach, and
BRISK, as a recent binary method are examined to compare their results with
MinMax Radon barcodes when retrieving images from IRMA dataset. The results
demonstrate that MinMax Radon barcodes are faster and more accurate when
applied on IRMA images.Comment: To appear in proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on

On the Tomographic Picture of Quantum Mechanics
We formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for a symplectic tomogram of
a quantum state to determine the density state. We establish a connection
between the (re)construction by means of symplectic tomograms with the
construction by means of Naimark positive-definite functions on the
Weyl-Heisenberg group. This connection is used to formulate properties which
guarantee that tomographic probabilities describe quantum states in the
probability representation of quantum mechanics.Comment: 10 pages,latex,submitted to Physics Letters
Kopyor Coconut Detection Using Sound-based Dynamic TIME Warping Method
Kopyor coconut is a coconut that has genetic abnormalities which cause the coconut meat to have a unique texture and is detached from the coconut shell. Its uniqueness attracts many enthusiasts resulting in a high economic value, 4-5 times that of the ordinary coconut. From its external appearance, kopyor coconut does not differ with ordinary coconut and this poses a challenge in the detection stage. To date, both farmers and sellers use a traditional approach by listening to the sound of whisk from kopyor coconut to detect them. Unfortunately, this approach relies heavily on experience and expertise of the person. Therefore, a new detection approach is proposed based on sound recognition using Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (MFCC) as the method for feature extraction and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) as the method for feature matching. Objects that will be detected are kopyor coconuts and ordinary coconut which has grown mature. By implementing both methods, a program has been developed to detect kopyor coconut with an accuracy of 93.8%
