The human placenta has long been the subject of scientific interest due to the important roles which it performs during pregnancy in sustaining the fetus and maintaining fetomaternal tolerance. More recently, however, researchers have begun to investigate the possibility that the placenta’s utility may extend beyond fetal development to act as a source of cells with clinically relevant properti...

No . STAN - CS - 74 - 462 A Fast , Feature - Driven Stereo Depth

In this paper we describe a fast, feature-driven program for extracting depth information from stereoscopic sets of digitized TV images. This is achieved by two means: in the simplest case, by statistically correlating variable-sized windows on the basis of visual texture, and in the more complex case by pre-processing the images to extract significant visual features such as corners, and then ...
