Freedom’s cry: the popular dimension in the Pakistan Movement and Partition experience in North West India
No full textStandard historical accounts of the emergence of Pakistan have been dominated by events and issues at the elite level of politics. This book introduces two new angles to the subject. It lays particular emphasis firstly on the role of popular participation in the freedom struggle and secondly on the human dimension of the Partition experience. In order to open up these fresh perspectives this study utilizes new sources, including the extended use of fictitional representation. In addition to the injection of a human perspective into the historical discourse on Pakistan's emergence, the author provides comprehensive data on refugee resettlement and bibliographical notes.Ian Talbot examines the role of popular participation in the Pakistan Movement and the social and psychological impact of the 1947 experience. While standard historical accounts have been dominated by events and issues at the elite level of politics, the author introduces two more angles to the study of the Freedom Movement: he lays particular emphasis on, firstly, the role of the ordinary citizen, and secondly, the human dimension of the Partition experience. Exploring these fresh perspectives, he includes the extended use of fictional representation and provides comprehensive data on refugee resettlement

Globally Optimal Surfaces By Continuous Maximal Flows
No full textIn this paper we consider the problem of computing globally minimal continuous curves and surfaces for image segmentation and 3D reconstruction. This is solved using a maximal flow approach expressed as a PDE model. Previously proposed techniques yield either grid-biased solutions (graph based approaches) or sub-optimal solutions (active contours and surfaces). The proposed algorithm simulates the flow of an ideal fluid with a spatially varying velocity constraint derived from image data. A proof is given that the algorithm gives the globally maximal flow at convergence, along with an implementation scheme. The globally minimal surface may be obtained trivially from its output. The new algorithm is applied to segmentation in 2D and 3D medical images and to 3D reconstruction from a stereo image pair. The results in 2D agree remarkably well with an existing planar minimal contour algorithm and the results in 3D segmentation and reconstruction demonstrate that the new algorithm is free from grid bias
