The precision of P- and S-wave phase picking strongly determines the earthquake locations, but such can be challenging in case emergent signals, large data sets or temporally varying seismic networks. To overcome these challenges, we have developed concept an aggregated template to perform automatic phases. An is defined as a representative event for small area, built by aggregating best signal...

An image retrieval system is a computer system for browsing, searching and retrieving images from a large database of digital images. Web Based Image Retrieval addresses the matching and retrieval of images which share similar visual content to search a concept from a large database of un-annotated images. Matching images based on visual content is a fundamental problem in computer vision syste...

Object searching is the identification of an object in an image or video. There are several approaches to object detection, including template matching in computer vision. Template matching uses a small image, or template, to find matching regions in a larger image. In this paper, we propose a robust object searching method based on adaptive combination template matching. We apply a partition s...

We develope a technique to perform e cient and accurate matching to detect the occurence(s) of a template in a scene. The template may describe an object or a textured surface. Representative binary features such as edge points for objects and a set of intensity extrema for textured surfaces are extracted from both test and template images. The search is based on a three-stage \coarsenenal" mat...

In similarity measure, normalized cross-correlation has found application in broad range of in image processing. This work proposes a novel technique aimed at improving the performance of exhaustive template matching based on NCC. An effective sufficient condition, capable of rapidly pruning those cross correlation score with respect to the current best candidate, can be obtained exploiting an ...

The marine pathogenic bacterium Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae causes septicemia in marine animals and in humans. The pPHDD1 plasmid-encoded hemolysins damselysin (Dly) and phobalysin P (PhlyP), and the chromosome-encoded hemolysin phobalysin C (PhlyC) constitute its main virulence factors. However, the mechanisms by which expression of these three hemolysins is regulated remain unknow...
