Viewpoint: A New Showcase

Recognizing faces from a new viewpoint

A new technique is described for recognizing faces from new viewpoints. From a single 2D image of a face synthetic images from new viewpoints are generated and compared to stored views. A novel 2D image of a face can be computed without knowledge about the 3D structure of the head. The technique draws on prior knowledge of faces based on example images of other faces seen in di erent poses and ...

A New Viewpoint for Mining Frequent Patterns

According to the traditional viewpoint of Data mining, transactions are accumulated over a long period of time (in years) in order to find out the frequent patterns associated with a given threshold of support, and then they are applied to practice of business as important experience for the next business processes. From the point of view, many algorithms have been proposed to exploit frequent ...

Age-related macular degeneration: a new viewpoint.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness in the United States. AMD can be categorized into an atrophic (dry) form and a neovascular (wet, exudative) form. The atrophic form involves alterations of pigment distribution, loss of RPE cells and photoreceptors and diminished retinal function due to an overall atrophy of the cells. The neovascular AMD involves proliferatio...

AJHotDraw: A showcase for refactoring to aspects

Adoption of aspect-oriented techniques in existing systems is hindered by the fact that developers have difficulties adapting to a “multi-view”, concern-based reasoning over the software systems, and by a lack of reference solutions that show how to address crosscutting functionality in real-life systems. In this paper, we argue for the need of a common showcase for the adoption of aspect-orien...
