Shape pool statistics tool

To help me while analysing the behaviour of the shape pool produced by the CAS/HFP decomposition algorithm, I developed a small tool. This tool, whose screenshot is depicted below, compares two shape pools and provides important information about them.

Results for CaS collection decomposition

In order to allow a quick analysis of the XML file produced by the Collection-aware Segmentation (CaS) algorithm, I wrote a simple XSL transformation that shows CaS results in an easily readable format.

For instance, here you can take a look at the result of decomposing the Flat-Thin Components cluster from Purdue's ESB with CaS.

CAS name change

From discussions with colleagues from SMG at IMATI-Ge, we concluded that the name originally given to the decomposition algorithm was not the most appropriate. Indeed, it might lead to some confusion and misinterpretation. Therefore, we decided to change the algorithm name to "Collection-Aware Segmentation".
