Simple Descriptors: Mike Auclair

The document discusses different types of descriptors that can be used to describe boundaries and regions in images. It describes boundary descriptors like length, diameter, major axis, and minor axis. It also describes regional descriptors like area, perimeter, compactness, mean/median gray level, and number of pixels above or below the mean. It provides an example project that uses normalized area to determine which region of the Americas uses the most electricity based on light maps.

Simple Descriptors

Mike Auclair
Boundary Descriptors
“ Length:
“ Roughapproximation provided by the
number of pixels along boundary
“ Diameter
“ Diameter(B) = max[Distance(p1,p2)]
“ Line that connects p1 and p2 is the Major
Axis (another descriptor) of the boundary.
Boundary Descriptors(cont.)
“ Minor Axis
“ Perpendicular to the Major Axis
“ Gives width of “Basic Rectangle” of
boundary (Major Axis gives length)
Regional Descriptors
“ Area
“ Number of pixels in a region
“ Perimeter
“ Length of boundary
“ Compactness
“ Perimeter^2/area

“ Minimal for disc shaped region


Regional Descriptors(cont.)
“ Othermeasures used as regional
descriptors:
“ Mean/Median Gray Level
“ Minimum/Maximum Gray Level

“ # of Pixels Above/Below Mean


Project
“ Taken from Example 11.4
“ Uses normalized area to determine which
region of the Americas uses the most
electricity based on light maps of 4
different regions
Region # Ratio of lights
(from top) to total
