Person re-identification (re-id) refers to matching pedestrians across disjoint yet non-overlapping camera views. The most effective way to match these pedestrians undertaking significant visual variations is to seek reliably invariant features that can describe the person of interest faithfully. Most of existing methods are presented in a supervised manner to produce discriminative features by...

A person’s image aesthetic is defined as a set of principles that influences the person to choose favorite images over a list of options. Different persons have different visual preferences which can be used to discriminate a person from another. Recently, some research has been carried in the area of behavioral biometric and image aesthetic. Researchers prove that it is possible to identify a ...

stevens-johnson syndrome (sjs) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (ten) are severe adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs. we describe the case of a 19 year old patient with sjs/ten overlap syndrome, who developed severe interstitial pneumonia after she had received antiepileptic drugs. a cytomegalovirus infection was diagnosed by real time polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) detection on bronchoalveo...

We present an automatic sign language recognition system that is vision-based, person-independent, and non-obtrusive. Its task is to evaluate the correctness of an isolated sign. The unique features are an adaptive skin model to find the hands, 3D features, Dynamic Time Warping for synchronising signs and automatic feature selection for finding the best sign representation. A Dutch 120-sign voc...

This paper deals with the elements of a multi-modal person authentication systems. Test procedures for evaluating machine experts as well as machine supervisors based on leave-one-out principle are described. Two independent machine experts on person authentication are presented along with their individual performances. These experts consisted of a face (Gabor features) and a speaker (LPC featu...

First name of a person can tell important demographic and cultural information about that person. This paper proposes statistical models for extracting vital information that is gender, religion and name validity from Indian first names. Statistical models combine some classical features like ngrams and Levenshtein distance along with some self observed features like vowel score and religion be...

The security has become a major issue of concern among the people. Biometrics is automated method of identifying a person based on physiological or behavioural characteristics. Threat starts when an unwanted person tries to obtain access. A person authentication system localizes facial landmarks and extracts biometrical features for face authentication. This includes image acquisition, segmenta...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs. We describe the case of a 19 year old patient with SJS/TEN overlap syndrome, who developed severe interstitial pneumonia after she had received antiepileptic drugs. A cytomegalovirus infection was diagnosed by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) detection on Bronchoalveo...

This Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) summarizes the state of understanding of the influence of grain size on surf zone sediment transport and is a companion to Smith et al. (2004). This CHETN discusses details of bed-load and suspended load transport, and the classical bed-load regime is shown to encompass two distinct modes of transport. Four LST models with varying le...

In face processing tasks, prior presentation of internal facial features, when compared with external ones, facilitates the recognition of subsequently displayed familiar faces. In a previous ERP study (Olivares & Iglesias, 2010) we found a visibly larger N400-like effect when identity mismatch familiar faces were preceded by internal features, as compared to prior presentation of external ones...
