Spatial cognition research has recently made much progress in understanding the cognitive representations and processes underlying human wayfinding. Many theoretical assumptions about the concept of landmark salience have been established. In this context it is important to define perceptual (or visual) and structural landmark salience. Structural salience is defined as the position of a landma...

Computer Vision has recently witnessed great research advance towards automatic facial points detection. Numerous methodologies have been proposed during the last few years that achieve accurate and efficient performance. However, fair comparison between thesemethodologies is infeasiblemainly due to two issues. (a) Most existing databases, captured under both constrained and unconstrained (in-t...

In this work, robot navigation is approached using visual landmarks. Landmarks are not preselected or otherwise defined a priori; they are extracted automatically during a learning phase. To facilitate this, a saliency map is constructed on the basis of which potential landmarks are highlighted. This is used in conjunction with a modeldriven segregation of the workspace to further delineate sea...

BACKGROUND When using botulinum toxin for the management of lateral epicondylitis, injection at a fixed distance from an anatomic landmark could result in inadequate paralysis of the intended muscle. We assessed the effectiveness of injection of botulinum toxin using precise anatomic measurement in individual patients. METHODS In this randomized placebo-controlled trial, 48 patients with chro...

This article is a call to describe Participatory Design (PD) projects in the making, i.e. to show how the heterogeneous elements in the field are gradually organised in a participatory manner as the projects progress. It is based on two arguments. The first is a negative argument. Very often, PD projects are not described in the making. As a result, the landmarks to be used to evaluate them rem...

Anatomic pathology, along with the role of anatomic pathologists, has significantly evolved over past several years [...]

Landmarks play an important role when humans navigate through foreign environments (Lynch, 1960; May, Ross, Bayer, and Tarkiainen, 2003). For example, trying to find the way is much easier if the navigator can rely on a description of the route based on well-recognizable objects in the environment, instead of navigating solely on the basis of street names and metric directions (Tom, and Denis, ...
