In section 4.2 of the paper, we compared the distribution modeling of GOG to other distributions. Below, we describe the details of the compared methods. The Mean, Cov and Gauss are global distribution descriptors of pixel features within each region. The Cov-ofCov, Cov-of-Gauss and GOG are hierarchical distribution descriptors. The Cov-of-Cov uses covariance matrix in both patch and region mod...

A new coronavirus, MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus) which is related to the coronavirus that caused the SARS outbreak 10 years ago, has been discovered in Saudi Arabia and observed in several other countries since 2012.
