to the algorithm. Inspired by sandpile model, similar segments then merge, and by using the energy function in Markov random fields (MRF), EO adjusts the labels of pixels. Results indicate that sandpile model can be applicable to image segmentation....

Deformation of various kinds of cross-sections was computed with the hypothesis that scour or deposit were directly related to shear stress computed by the Merged Perpendicular Method. Final stabilised cross section agrees with theoretical stable...
