To a certain extent, we may say that the history of humankind has been characterized by struggles against hunger. However, there have been reports and depictions of obese persons since ancient times. In some societies, and even in western societies, in some periods, ...

Puzzling Peptides from a Phage Display Library

The commercial availability of random peptide libraries displayed on the M13 phage is increasing their use forstudies on epitope identification, enzyme inhibitors, receptor ligands, etc. In this study two experimentswhere planned for selection of peptides. First with sheep antibodies, the positive selector was IgG, preparedon Protein G column from a pool of 11 sheeps immunized...

Garment capture from a photograph

This paper presents a new method which can create the virtual garment from a single photograph of a real garment put on to the mannequin. In solving this problem, we obtain the insight from the pattern drafting theory in the clothing field. We abstract the drafting process into a computer module, which takes the garment type and primary body sizes then produces the draft as the output. Then the...

Matching a photograph to satellite images

We describe a method for generating location estimates for a photograph by automatically matching it to satellite imagery. First, a user labels interest points in the photograph corresponding to stationary objects also identifiable from the air. We show how to compute robust invariants which can be matched against a large database of satellite views, and we evaluate several invariants on simula...
