Parametric curves such as Bézier and B-splines, originally developedfor the design of automobile bodies, are now also used in image processing andcomputer vision. For example, reconstructing an object shape in an image,including different translations, scales, and orientations, can be performedusing these parametric curves. For this, Bézier and B-spline curves can be generatedusing a point set that belongs to the outer boundary of the object. Theresulting object shape can be used in computer vision fields, such as searchingand segmentation methods and training machine learning algorithms. Theprerequisite for reconstructing the shape with parametric curves is to obtainsequentially the points in the point set. In this study, a novel algorithm hasbeen developed that sequentially obtains the pixel locations constituting theouter boundary of the object. The proposed algorithm, unlike the methods inthe literature, is implemented using a filter containing weights and an outercircle surrounding the object. In a binary format image, the starting point ofthe tracing is determined using the outer circle, and the next tracing movementand the pixel to be labeled as the boundary point is found by the filter ***, control points that define the curve shape are selected by reducing thenumber of sequential points. Thus, the Bézier and B-spline curve equationsdescribing the shape are obtained using these points. In addition, differenttranslations, scales, and rotations of the object shape are easily provided bychanging the positions of the control points. It has also been shown that themissing part of the object can be completed thanks to the parametric curves.

The cement-based composite material known as concrete is a brittle material. After the formation of a fracture, the material is unable to absorb force and breaks immediately. Cracks can be caused by microcracks or shear stress in the interfacial transition zone between the aggregates, which is the weakest region in the matrix. The strength of concrete is determined by the link between the particles in the concrete matrix. Cracks can also arise as a result of shear stress. As a result of the widespread usage of concrete in construction, this may present a potential risk to safety. In the event that the concrete is not strong enough to absorb tension, it may result in potentially hazardous circumstances, such as accidents that occur close to the building. The use of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) into the concrete recipe will result in an improvement in its workability. In the course of this investigation, a variety of PLAF concentrations-0, 5, 10, and 15 wt.% were combined with water, cement, and sand. The purpose of the characterisation was to ascertain the water absorptivity of PALF cement-based composites as well as their mechanical parameters, which included compressive and flexural strength. In order to examine the microstructures of the cement composites, the machines that were utilized were the Universal Testing Strength (UTS) and the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The composite material that was based on cement was produced by combining water, cement, sand, and PALF. The fiber content of the composite material was composed of 0, 5, 10, and 15 wt.%. According to the findings that were obtained, the incorporation of natural fibers resulted in an increase in the flexural toughness of the composite material, which was 0.611 MPa, and the rate of water absorption by the material was 29.9%. Nevertheless, the compressive stress was reduced to 0.977 MPa as a result of the improper distribution of the fiber and the large length of the fiber. Through the utilization o
