This book introduces a new theory in Computer Vision yielding elementary techniques to
analyze digital images. These techniques are a mathematical formalization of the Gestalt …

In this paper, we present an algorithm to automatically detect meaningful modes in a
histogram. The proposed method is based on the behavior of local minima in a scale-space …

We consider the problem of detecting whether or not, in a given sensor network, there is a
cluster of sensors which exhibit an" unusual behavior." Formally, suppose we are given a set …

We apply to edge detection a recently introduced method for computing geometric structures
in a digital image, without any a priori information. According to a basic principle of …

Wertheimer's theory suggests a general perception law according to which objects having a
quality in common get perceptually grouped. The Helmholtz principle is a quantitative …

This paper proposes a fault diagnosis method for roller bearings based on the
decomposition of vibration signals using the empirical wavelet transform (EWT) with …

In this paper we propose a comprehensive method for detecting straight line segments in
any digital image, accurately controlling both false positive and false negative detections …

The geometric Gestalt theory started in 1921 with Max Wertheimer's founding paper [31]. In
its 1975 last edition, the Gestalt Bible Gesetze des Sehens by Wolfgang Metzger [22] gave a …

This article addresses the phenomenology of aesthetic experience. It first, critically,
considers one of the most influential approaches to the psychophysics of aesthetic …

We consider the hypothesis testing problem of deciding whether an observed high-
dimensional vector has independent normal components or, alternatively, if it has a small …
