Sistemnì Doslìdženâ ta Informacìjnì Tehnologìï, 2022 The paper is devoted to improving semi-supervised clustering methods and comparing their accuracy and robustness. The proposed approach is based on expanding a clustering algorithm for using an available set of labels by replacing the distance function.

THE EULER NUMBER FROM THE DISTANCE FUNCTION
Image Analysis and Stereology, 2013 We present a new method to obtain the Euler number of a domain based on the tangent counts of concentric spheres in ℝ³ (or circles in ℝ², with respect to the center O, that sweeps the domain.

A PARALLEL ARCHITECTURE FOR CURVE-EVOLUTION PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Image Analysis and Stereology, 2011 The computation of the distance function is a crucial and limiting element in many applications of image processing. This is particularly true for the PDE-based methods, where the distance is used to compute various geometric properties of the travelling

A Linear Inverse Demand System
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1992 We present an inverse demand that can be estimated in a linear form. The model is derived from a specification of the distance function which is parametrically similar to the cost function underlying the Almost Ideal Demand System.

Estimating a Profit Function in the Presence of Inefficiency: An Application to Russian Agriculture
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2002 The relationship among cost functions, distance functions, and technical inefficiency are utilized to show how technical inefficiency scores can be incorporated into the specification of a profit function and a related system of output supply and input ...
