AFNI is an open source software package for the analysis and display of functional MRI data. It originated in 1994 to meet the specific needs of researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin, in particular the mapping of activation maps to Talairach-Tournoux space, but has been expanded steadily since then into a wide-ranging set of tool for FMRI data analyses. AFNI was the first platform for...

We propose a geographical visualization to support operators of coastal surveillance systems and decision making analysts to get insights in vessel movements. For a possibly unknown area, they want to know where significant maritime areas, like highways and anchoring zones, are located. We show these features as an overlay on a map. As source data we use AIS data: Many vessels are currently equ...

An open-source software including an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed for processing, modeling and mapping of gravity and magnetic data. The program, called Potensoft, is a set of functions written in MATLAB. The most common application of Potensoft is spatial and frequency domain filtering of gravity and magnetic data. The GUI helps the user easily change all the r...

In this paper we present a practical approach for generating an occlusion-free textured 3D map of urban facades by the synergistic use of terrestrial images, 3D point clouds and area-based information. Particularly in dense urban environments, the high presence of urban objects in front of the facades causes significant difficulties for several stages in computational building modeling. Major c...

Open source software has been growing in acceptance and use over the past decade. Recent work explores the criteria that organizations use in deciding whether to adopt open source software. However, little research has been done to understand the adoption decision from the perspective of the individual. This paper examines the factors that impact individual adoption of open source software. Spe...

Hippy is a novel protein visualization tool designed to meet the needs of those who are working with contact maps for protein structure prediction, and in particular for those desiring to gain insight into the configurations and properties of pairs of alpha helices. It is the only known program that allows the simultaneous display of the structure and the contact map. Users can customize Hippy ...

Property norms have the potential to aid a wide range of semantic tasks, provided that they can be obtained for large numbers of concepts. Recent work has focused on text as the main source of information for automatic property extraction. In this paper we examine property norm prediction from visual, rather than textual, data, using cross-modal maps learnt between property norm and visual spac...

A number of national, regional and global land cover classification systems have been developed to meet specific user requirements for land cover mapping exercises, independent of scale, nomenclature and quality. However, this variety of land-cover classification systems limits the compatibility and comparability of land cover data. Furthermore, the current lack of interoperability between diff...

The underdetermined blind audio source separation problem is often addressed in the time-frequency domain by assuming that each time-frequency point is an independently distributed random variable. Other approaches which are not blind assume a more structured model, like the Spectral Gaussian Mixture Models (Spectral-GMMs), thus exploiting statistical diversity of audio sources in the separatio...
