Because of the complementarity of multiple visual cues (features) in appearance modeling, many tracking algorithms attempt to fuse multiple features to improve the tracking performance from two aspects: increasing the representation accuracy against appearance variations and enhancing the discriminability between the tracked target and its background. Since both these two aspects simultaneously...

Once aspects have been identified during requirements engineering activities, the behaviour, structure, and pointcut expressions of aspects need to be modeled unobtrusively at the requirements level, allowing the engineer to seamlessly focus either on the behaviour and structure of the system without aspects or the combined behaviour and structure. Furthermore, the modeling techniques for aspec...

This study tries to connect the poultry food behavior to the visual and tactile characteristics of the food. The aim of the work is to make it possible to control the visual and tactile aspects of food (food pellets), by means of image analysis. These aspects are often suspected to explain the undesirable behavior of the poultries, which can reject a food, showing however optimal nutritional ch...

Studies of children treated for dense cataract shed light on the extent to which pattern stimulation drives normal visual development and whether there are sensitive periods during which an abnormal visual environment is especially detrimental. Here, we summarize the findings to date into five general principles: (1) At least for low-level vision, aspects of vision that develop the earliest are...

We propose the notion of visual design pattern (VDP), which is a visual abstraction representing design aspects in parallel dataow programs. VDP serves as a exible and high-level structure of reuse for visual parallel programming. We introduced the support for this notion into the visual parallel programming environment, KLIEG, allowing de nition and use of patterns with simple and easy interface.

Our research replicates and extends previous work on infant audio-visual speech perception [3], [4], [5], demonstrating that two-month-old infants have knowledge of the audio-visual connection between the visual aspects of lip-posture and the pronunciation of vowels and glides. Using the intermodal preferential looking paradigm [6] the infants display a clear ability to distinguish /a/-/u/, /i/...
