We show that thinning of increments of the fractional Brownian motion with Hurst exponent H not equal 1/2 breaks its H-self-similarity property. As a result, we obtain a new Gaussian process with stationary increments which is not the fractional Brownian motion for any H. Moreover, in the subdiffusion case (H < 1/2), the new process statistically resembles the classical Brownian motion (H = 1/2). To this end, we study analytically the second moment of such processes. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations show that the H estimator obtained by mean square displacement is close to the Brownian motion case with H = 1/2. These results show that stationary data describing anomalous diffusion phenomenon can lead to different statistical conclusions for different resolution of measurement. Therefore, one should be very careful in statistical inference, especially in strong subdiffusion regimes (H approximate to 0).

With the onset of ultra-compact packages, systems in package may include stacked dies and mechanical sensors. Thus the thinning of silicon becomes necessary. The risk of failure, especially die crack, is often a major concern in the reliability of electronic packages. Therefore chip strength assessment becomes necessary for reliability prediction. In this paper, three-point-bend test and ball-on-ring test are compared to evaluate the risk of fracture of a silicon die as a function of its thickness, and of surface quality induced by the thinning process. Five thinning processes and six thicknesses (from 300 mu M down to 80 mu m) are statistically evaluated. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Volume determination of tephra deposits is necessary for the assessment of the dynamics and hazards of explosive volcanoes. Several methods have been proposed during the past 40 years that include the analysis of crystal concentration of large pumices, integrations of various thinning relationships, and the inversion of field observations using analytical and computational models. Regardless of their strong dependence on tephra-deposit exposure and distribution of isomass/isopach contours, empirical integrations of deposit thinning trends still represent the most widely adopted strategy due to their practical and fast application. The most recent methods involve the best fitting of thinning data using various exponential segments or a power-law curve on semilog plots of thickness (or mass/area) versus square root of isopach area. The exponential method is mainly sensitive to the number and the choice of straight segments, whereas the power-law method can better reproduce the natural thinning of tephra deposits but is strongly sensitive to the proximal or distal extreme of integration. We analyze a large data set of tephra deposits and propose a new empirical method for the determination of tephra-deposit volumes that is based on the integration of the Weibull function. The new method shows a better agreement with observed data, reconciling the debate on the use of the exponential versus power-law method. In fact, the Weibull best fitting only depends on three free parameters, can well reproduce the gradual thinning of tephra deposits, and does not depend on the choice of arbitrary segments or of arbitrary extremes of integration.

It is important and interesting thing to recognize the atomic structure of graphite by processing graphite STM images, which is useful to automatically give the hexagonal topology structure during in-situ STM scanning of graphite. In this paper, we report some digital image processing algorithm applications on the recognition of atomic structure of graphite. At last, we also write the software with c(++) codes, which applying the digital image processing algorithms. And from the result of processing a typical STM image of graphite, we can clearly see graphite hexagon structure.

An efficient data reduction scheme for the simplification of a surface given by a large set X of 3D point-samples is proposed. The data reduction relies on a recursive point removal algorithm, termed thinning, which outputs a data hierarchy of point-samples for multiresolution surface approximation. The thinning algorithm works with a point removal criterion, which measures the significances of the points in their local neighbourhoods, and which removes a least significant point at each step. For any point x in the current point set Y subset of X, its significance reflects the approximation quality of a local surface reconstructed from neighbouring points in Y. The local surface reconstruction is done over an estimated tangent plane at x by using radial basis functions. The approximation quality of the surface reconstruction around x is measured by using its maximal deviation from the given point-samples X in a local neighbourhood of x. The resulting thinning algorithm is meshfree, i.e., its performance is solely based upon the geometry of the input 3D surface point-samples, and so it does not require any further topological information, such as point connectivities. Computational details of the thinning algorithm and the required data structures for efficient implementation are explained and its complexity is discussed. Two examples are presented for illustration.

The thinning is an iterative layer by layer erosion until only the "skeletons" of the objects are left. This paper presents a thinning algorithm for extracting medial surfaces from 3D binary pictures. The strategy which is used is called fully parallel, which means that the same parallel operator is applied at each iteration. An efficient implementation of the proposed algorithm on conventional sequential computers is given and the topological correctness for (26, 6) binary pictures is proved. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Given a finite point set Z subset of R-d, the covering radius of a nonempty subset X subset of Z is the minimum distance r(X,Z) such that every point in Z is at a distance of at most r(X,Z) from some point in X. This paper concerns the construction of a sequence of subsets of decreasing sizes, such that their covering radii are small. To this end, a method for progressive data reduction, referred to as scattered data filtering, is proposed. The resulting scheme is a composition of greedy thinning, a recursive point removal strategy, and exchange, a postprocessing local optimization procedure. The paper proves adaptive a priori lower bounds on the minimal covering radii, which allows us to control for any current subset the deviation of its covering radius from the optimal value at run time. Important computational aspects of greedy thinning and exchange are discussed. The good performance of the proposed filtering scheme is finally shown by numerical examples. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, a theorem on approximation to Boolean functions by neural networks and its proof are proposed. A Boolean function, f:{0,1}(n) --> {0,1}, is proved to be approximated by a three layer neural network with 2(n) hidden nodes. With the theorem, a thinning algorithm using the neural network technique is concluded. A hard processor implementing the thinning algorithm is designed to raise the thinning efficiency, which can meet the practical needs better This makes the algorithm suitable for real-time image processing.

This paper presents the method of understanding objects that can be considered as thin objects. The proposed method of understanding thin objects is part of the shape understanding method developed by the author. The main novelty of the presented method is that the process of understanding thin objects is related to the visual concept represented as a symbolic name of the possible class of shapes. The possible classes of shape, viewed as hierarchical structures, are incorporated into the shape model. At each stage of the reasoning process that led to assigning of an examined object to one of the possible classes, novel processing methods are used. These methods are very efficient because they deal with a very specific class of shapes. In this paper, the 2-D objects that are classified as thin objects are regarded as geometrical objects without any reference to the real world objects. However, the shape under standing method is designed to understand an object at many levels of interpretation, such as the topological level, the linguistic level and the real world reference level. This approach influences the way in which the system of shape understanding is designed. The system consists of different types of experts that perform different processing and reasoning tasks.
