Gait is a biometric feature and gait recognition has become a challenging problem in computer vision. New wavelet velocity moments have been developed to describe and recognize gait. Wavelet moments are translation, scale and rotation invariant. Wavelet analysis has the trait of multi-resolution analysis, which strengthens the analysis ability to image subtle feature. According with the psychol...

We present a comprehensive evaluation of performance of shot-based visual feature representations for MediaEval 2012 Violent Scenes Detection Affect Task. In spite of using keyframe-based as last year, we try to apply shot-based features using the global features (color moments, color histogram, edge orientation histogram, and local binary patterns) for violent scenes detection. Besides that, w...

Color moments are measures that can be used to differentiate images based on their color. Once computed, these moments provide a measure for color similarity between images. This color similarity can become a measure of finding difference between consecutive frames in a video. Finding the difference between temporally arranged frames in video is one of the issues in shot boundary detection whic...

This paper proposes an automated system for rotation and scale invariant color logo recognition. Colored logo images are recognized using one shape feature namely Moments Invariant and a color feature namely Color Moments. Shape of the logo is modeled using the first two central normalized Hu's invariant moments while color is modeled using the mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtos...

We establish unconditional ? $\Omega$ -results for all weighted even moments of primes in arithmetic progressions. also study the these and lower bounds under Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). Finally, GRH Linear Independence (LI), we prove an asymptotic associated limiting distribution, which, turn, indicates that our results are essentially best possible. Using probabilistic results, form...

OBJECTIVE The undergraduate medical curriculum has been overcrowded with core learning outcomes with no formal exposure to plastic surgery. The aim of this study was to compare medical students from two educational settings for the basic understanding, preferred learning method, and factors influencing a career choice in plastic surgery. DESIGN AND SETTING A prospective cohort study based on ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the geographic and temporal trends in cosmetic facial plastic surgery procedure costs and frequency during the last decade and to evaluate factors that may influence changes in the demand for cosmetic procedures. METHODS A survey sent to every (N = 1727) active fellow, member, or associate of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery assessing the...

Achieving a level of technical skill and confidence in surgical operations is the main goal of plastic surgical training. Operating rooms were accepted as the practical teaching venues of the traditional apprenticeship model. However, increased patient population, time, and ethical and legal considerations made preoperation room practical work a must for plastic surgical training. There are sev...
