Basic Mechanisms of Brownian String Analysis and Manipulation

Abstract

The paper presents the possibilities of using Brownian Strings as an example of Active Contour Model for linguistic description of objects in an image. Having only a notation composed of a combination of characters RULD we can calculate the statistics of the object, such as its surface area, width and height, centroid, and even image moments. The part is thoroughly discussed. The requirements for a combination of characters RULD to be called a Brownian contour are also presented and analysed carefully.
