This paper proposes a skeleton-based hierarchical shape description scheme, called a skeleton tree, for accurate shape-based image retrieval. A skeleton tree represents an object shape as a hierarchical tree where high-level nodes describe parts of coarse trunk regions and low-level nodes describe fine details of boundary regions. Each node refines the shape of its parent node. Most of the noise disturbances are limited to bottom level nodes and the boundary noise is reduced by decreasing weights on the bottom levels. The similarity of two skeleton trees is computed by considering the best match of a skeleton tree to a sub-tree of another skeleton tree. The proposed method uses a hybrid similarity measure by employing both Fourier descriptors and moment invariants in computing the similarity of two skeleton trees. Several experimental results are presented demonstrating the validity of the skeleton tree scheme for the shape description and indexing.

This study was considered chances of additional income, if farmers raised silkworms in unused mulberry leaves, after harvesting mulberry, investigated yields of mulberry leaves in vinyl-house and optimal amount in raised silkworms, First, the results was investigated productions of mulberry leaves in the mulberry tree-shape of vinyl-house, T-shape harvested 7.07 kg, Y-shape was 6.55 kg, in comparison with convention of it was harvested 4.75 kg mulberry leaves/1 mulberry tree, was harvested 49%, 38% more each. Also, yields of mulberry leaves was used 302 kg when was raised 1box of silkworms in the mulberry tree-shape of vinyl-house. In other hand, yields of raising silkworms was analysed in the mulberry tree-shapes of vinyl-house, mulberry leaves of $1,000m^2$ vinyl-house mulberry tree was raised average of 3.74 boxs silkworms, in the concrete conventional-shape was 3.24 boxs, T-shape did 4.17 boxs and Y-shape was 3.83 boxs, Consequently, if the farmers of $1,000m^2$ vinyl-house mulberry tree raised silkworms with unused mulberry leaves, could get 1~1.2 million won additionally.

The correlation between shape of electrical trees and partial discharge(PD) pulses in low density polyethylene(LDPE) were discussed. We observed growth feature of electrical tree by using optical microscope. On the basis of experimental results of measurements of trees occurring in the needle-plane arrangement with needle shape void and without needle shape void , statistical quantities are derived, which are relevant to PD pulse amplitude and phase. The PD quantities detected by partial discharge detector. we were analyzed q-n distribution pattern and $\psi$ -q-n distribution pattern. In this experiment, electrical trees in the needle-plane arrangement with needle shape void propagated branch type tree and in the needle-plane arrangement without needle shape void propagated bush type tree

Jeju-do is an oval-shape volcanic island spanning 73km east to west and 31km north to south. The 1,950meter high, Mt. Halla is the centerpiece of unique landscape of Jeju Island, Sloping gently downward toward the coastline. The most of lava tree-molds are appeared at the below of 300m on Mt. Halla. There are many lava tree-molds in Weullim-ri, Hallim-eup. Vertical tree-molds, recumbent tree-molds are distributed widely in Hallim-eup area. By the observation of shape and structure, lava tree-molds can be classified into, recumbent tree-molds and capture tree-molds, fragmental tree-molds, compounded tree-molds, vertical tree-molds.

In this paper, it is discussed the correlation between shape of tree and internal partial discharge in low density polyethylene(LDPE) blended with organic compounds that used to improve the effect of resistance to treeing. Initiation and growing of tree are retarded in specimens blended with organic compounds that comprised radical having large electron affinity, and also discharge magnitude and counts of discharging pulse per unit time in these samples are more than those in others. It is observed that the shape of tree in these samples is bush type, but in case of pure LDPE samples dendrite type.

We propose a method for tree-inspired chair modeling that can generate a tree-branch pattern in the skeleton of an arbitrary chair shape. Unlike existing methods that merge multiple-input models, the proposed method requires only one mesh as input, namely the contour mesh of the user's desired part, to model the chair with a branch pattern generated by tree-growth simulation. We propose a new method for the efficient extraction of the contour-mesh region in the tree-branch pattern. First, we extract the contour mesh based on the face area of the input mesh. We then use the front and back mesh information to generate a skeleton mesh that reconstructs the connection information. In addition, to obtain the tree-branch pattern matching the shape of the input model, we propose a three-way tree-growth simulation method that considers the tangent vector of the shape surface. The proposed method reveals a new type of furniture modeling by using an existing furniture model and simple parameter values to model tree branches shaped appropriately for the input model skeleton. Our experiments demonstrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The paper introduces the RFID location based Tree Management System (TMS) using UHF RFID tag and GPS. The bolt shape tag has been developed since the wood material has high dielectric constant. Since the characteristics and impedance of tag antenna can be changed by the material next to the tag, the plastic bolt shape tag antenna has to be carefully designed with consideration of the high dielectric constant of the wood material. The RFID TMS system has been utilized with the bolt shape tag antenna and GPS. The TMS system uses and links Google map to locate the location of the trees. Therefore, this system allow us to manage the trees economically and efficiently.

A hierarchical representation scheme for planar curves, MBO-tree, is proposed in this paper, which provides natural approximation and efficient localization. MBO-tree is based on the Douglas-Peucker algorithm (iterative end-point fit algorithm), but approximation errors that are stored with corresponding points in MBO-tree nodes and are used for abstraction measures are adjusted by force to eliminate unnatural approximation. The error adjusting is just making the approximation error of a node in a MBO-tree to be less than or equal to that of its parent. In point of localization, the bounding area of a curve is represented with a minimum bounding octangle (MBO), which can enclose the curve more compactly compared with those of other hierarchical schemes, such as the strip tree, the arc tree and the HAL tree. The MBO satisfies the hierarchical inclusion property that is useful for hierarchical geometrical operations, such as the point-inclusion test and the polygon intersection test. Through several experiments, we found that the proposed scheme was able to approximate more naturally and to localize more effectively.
