Farsi Handwriting Word Recognition (FHWR), especially those with different orientation and scale changes as well as different handwriting style, is a challenging and important problem in document image analysis. This paper proposes a holistic FHWR scheme using local features of M-Band packet wavelet. The rotation and scale invariant local feature extraction for a given word image involves apply...

Face recognition, a biometric method of identifying individuals using facial features, has attracted increasing interest and research over the last decade. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical scheme for face recognition. The proposed scheme consists of chin outline classification and holistic facial feature identification. Chin-shape information is characterized by chin curvature, the leng...

This paper develops a large scale surveillance video data unsupervised segmentation technique regarding whether there is a presence of independent motion. We propose a holistic, in-compression approach to efficient video segmentation. By efficient, we mean that the processing speed is close to or even faster than real-time in “normal” platforms (we do not assume using special hardware or any pa...

We study fully synchronized states in scale-free networks of chaotic logistic maps as a function of both dynamical and topological parameters. Three different network topologies are considered: (i) a random scale-free topology, (ii) a deterministic pseudofractal scale-free network, and (iii) an Apollonian network. For the random scale-free topology we find a coupling strength threshold beyond w...

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on the Sense of Coherence (SOC), Locus of Control (LoC), and Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). These factors were explored according to the prevalence of psychological problems in these patients. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-te...

Holistic word recognition attempts to recognize the entire word image as a single pattern. In general, it performs better than segmentation based word recognition model for known, fixed and small sized lexicon. The present work deals with recognition of handwritten words in Hindi in holistic way. Features like area, aspect ratio, density, pixel ratio, longest run, centroid and projection length...

People tend to perceive identical top halves (i.e., above the nose) of two face stimuli as being different when they are aligned with distinct bottom halves. This composite face illusion is generally considered as the most compelling evidence that facial features are integrated into a holistic representation. Here, we recorded eye-movements during the composite face illusion in a delayed matchi...
