Euclidean Invariant Recognition of 2D Shapes Using Histograms of Magnitudes of Local Fourier-Mellin Descriptors

no code implementations13 Mar 2022 Xinhua Zhang, Lance R. Williams

Because the magnitude of inner products with its basis functions are invariant to rotation and scale change, the Fourier-Mellin transform has long been used as a component in Euclidean invariant 2D shape recognition systems.

Similarity Equivariant Linear Transformation of Joint Orientation-Scale Space Representations

no code implementations13 Mar 2022 Xinhua Zhang, Lance R. Williams

Group convolution generalizes the concept to linear operations on functions of group elements representing more general geometric transformations and which commute with those transformations.

Towards Complex Artificial Life

no code implementations16 May 2018 Lance R. Williams

An object-oriented combinator chemistry was used to construct an artificial organism with a system architecture possessing characteristics necessary for organisms to evolve into more complex forms.

Programs as Polypeptides

no code implementations4 Jun 2015 Lance R. Williams

We describe a visual programming language for defining behaviors manifested by reified actors in a 2D virtual world that can be compiled into programs comprised of sequences of combinators that are themselves reified as actors.
