It should therefore be possible to detect the taking of these substances by testing for their presence in either blood or urine. At present suitable techniques include gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and radioimmunoassay. For practical and psychological reasons urine tests ar...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
