wild boar is distributed throughout iran except highly arid areas. in recent years, however, population size of wild boar has increased primarily because of reduction in population size of natural predators such as leopard. conversely, changes in land-use practices and increase in foraging of livestock in natural habitats has led to reduction of food resources and consequently, has forced the s...

We present an automatic segmentation method for the extraction of first Heschl’s gyrus (HG), the morphological landmark for human primary auditory cortex. Extracted HG regions can be used to test functional hypotheses about this area using a region-of-interest (ROI)based approach. The proposed technique consists of a coarse segmentation phase using a statistical deformation-based atlas, followe...

In many collocated human-robot interaction scenarios, robots are required to accurately and unambiguously indicate an object or point of interest in the environment. Realistic, cluttered environments containing many visually salient targets can present a challenge. In this paper, we describe an experiment and results detailing the effects of visual saliency and pointing modality on human percep...
