We propose a considerably faster approximation of the well known SIFT method. The main idea is to use efficient data structures for both, the detector and the descriptor. The detection of interest regions is considerably speed-up by using an integral image for scale space computation. The descriptor which is based on orientation histograms, is accelerated by the use of an integral orientation h...

The IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) provides a method to generate a unique text descriptor of molecular structures. Building on this work, we report a process to generate a unique text descriptor for reactions, RInChI. By carefully selecting the information that is included and by ordering the data carefully, different scientists studying the same reaction should produce the sam...

This paper presents a commercial shot classification scheme combining well-designed visual and textual features to automatically detect TV commercials. To identify the inherent difference between commercials and general programs, a special mid-level textual descriptor is proposed, aiming to capture the spatio-temporal properties of the video texts typical of commercials. In addition, we introdu...

A data set of 412 olfactory compounds, divided into animal, camphoraceous, ethereal and fatty olfaction classes, was submitted to an analysis by a Fuzzy Logic procedure called Adaptive Fuzzy Partition (AFP). This method aims to establish molecular descriptor/chemical activity relationships by dynamically dividing the descriptor space into a set of fuzzily partitioned subspaces. The ability of t...

In this paper, we present a novel viewpoint selection framework for angiographic volume data. We propose several view descriptors based on typical concerns of clinicians for the view evaluation. Compared with conventional approaches, our method can deliver a more representative global optimal view by sampling at a much higher rate in the view space. Instead of performing analysis on sample view...

Maya hieroglyphic analysis requires epigraphers to spend a significant amount of time browsing existing catalogs to identify individual glyphs. Automatic Maya glyph analysis provides an efficient way to assist scholars’ daily work. We introduce the Histogram of Orientation Shape Context (HOOSC) shape descriptor to the Digital Humanities community. We discuss key issues for practitioners and stu...

Based on large-scale data for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (protein and mRNA abundance, translational status, transcript length), we investigate the relation of transcription, translation, and protein turnover on a genome-wide scale. We elucidate variations between different spatial cell compartments and functional modules by comparing protein-to-mRNA ratios, translational activity, and a...

Linear periodic descriptor systems represent a broad class of time evolutionary processes in micro-electronics and circuit simulation in particular. In this paper we consider discrete-time linear periodic descriptor systems and study the concepts of periodic reachability and observability of the systems based on earlier ideas of Chu et al. [1]. We define reachability and observability Gramians ...
