In this survey we first discuss the importance of eye localization as the initialization step for many face processing techniques, then we further show the influence of the localization precision on the rate achieved by some baseline face recognition techniques. To do so, we give the definition of the objective error measures already known in literature. A brief review of some state-of-the-art ...

liposomes have attracted great interest as efficient carriers for nutrients, drugs and other bioactive agents as well as ideal models for biological membranes. this article intends to provide an overview of liposomes and nanoliposomes definition as well as their properties and preparation methods. also it elaborates on various applications of nanoliposomes in nanotherapy including diagnostics, ...

Abstract This paper further investigates the stability of the n-dimensional linear systems with multiple delays. Using Laplace transform, we introduce a definition of characteristic equation for the n-dimensional linear systems with multiple delays. Moreover, one sufficient condition is attained for the Lyapunov globally asymptotical stability of the general multi-delay linear systems. In parti...

A three-dimensional anisotropic metric for geometry-based mesh adaptation is constructed from a triangulated domain definition. First, a Cartesian background octree is refined according to not only boundary curvature but also a local separation criterion from digital topology theory. This octree is then used to extract the domain skeleton through a medial axis transform. Finally, an efficient a...

The fuzzy structured element (FSE) theory is a very useful toolfor dealing with fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)problems by transforming the criterion value vectors of eachalternative into the corresponding criterion function vectors. Inthis paper, some concepts related to function vectors are firstdefined, such as the inner product of two function vectors, thecosine of the included ...

ABSTRACT. We extend the notion of representation of a matroid to algebraic structures that we call skew partial fields. Our definition of such representations extends Tutte’s definition, using chain groups. We show how such representations behave under duality and minors, we extend Tutte’s representability criterion to this new class, and we study the generator matrices of the chain groups. An ...

A recent and highly attractive area of research in statistics is the analysis of functional data. In this paper a new definition of depth for functional observations is introduced based on the notion of “half-graph” of a curve. It has computational advantages with respect to other concepts of depth previously proposed. The half-graph depth provides a natural criterion to measure the centrality ...
