We introduce a spin polarization-scaling map for spin-$j$ particles, whose physical meaning is the decrease of spin polarization along three mutually orthogonal axes. We find conditions on three scaling parameters under which the map is…
In this paper we give a classification of tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals with exactly two equal edges. The tilings are the earth map tilings, $(p,q)$-earth map tilings and their flip modifications, and quadrilateral…
Superpixel segmentation aims at dividing the input image into some representative regions containing pixels with similar and consistent intrinsic properties, without any prior knowledge about the shape and size of each superpixel. In this…
Introducing spatial prior information in hyperspectral imaging (HSI) analysis has led to an overall improvement of the performance of many HSI methods applied for denoising, classification, and unmixing. Extending such methodologies to…
On-chip spatial and polarization multiplexing have emerged as a powerful strategy to boost the bandwidth of integrated optical transceivers. State-of-the-art multiplexers require accurate control of the relative phase or the spatial…
