A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene. Its lowcomputational complexity and fast runtimes makes this method well-suited for real-time vision applications. The performance of the transform is demonstrated on a wide variety of images and compared with leading techniques from the literature. Both as a facial feature detector ...

Regular maintenance of all the assets is pivotal for proper functioning of railway. Manual maintenance can be very cumbersome and leave room for errors. Track anomalies like vegetation overgrowth, sun kinks affect the track construct and result in unequal load transfer, imbalanced lateral forces on tracks which causes further deterioration of tracks and can ultimately result in derailment of lo...

For road sign inventory and maintenance, we propose to use a mobile system based on a handheld device, GPS sensor, a camera, and a standard mobile GIS software. Camera images are then analysed via object recognition algorithms which results in an automated detection, i.e., localisation and classification of the signs. We present here the localisation of points and regions of interest, the fitti...

Biomedical data, such as MRI, MEG, EEG or optical imaging data, present a challenge to any data processing software. Feature point detection has many parameters such as edge detection, corner detection and blob detection (region of interest). Compression technique is used to reduce the size of image over selected region over medical image. So that it will helpful to transfer over WLAN. This pap...

Regression analysis is probably one of the most used statistical techniques. We consider the case when the regression function is monotonically changing with some or all of the predictors in a region of interest. Restricted confidence interval for the mean of the regression function is constructedwhen two predictors are present. Earlier analyses would allow an investigator either to ignore mono...

We present a method to correct motion in fetal in-utero scan sequences. The proposed approach avoids previously necessary manual segmentation of a region of interest. We solve the problem of non-rigid motion by splitting motion corrupted slices into overlapping patches of finite size. In these patches the assumption of rigid motion approximately holds and they can thus be used to perform a slic...

Results from an experiment on perception of lexical pitch accents in Gothenburg Swedish (11) showed that both higher initial F0 plateaux and later falls biased native listeners toward the Accent 2 category, while lower plateaux and earlier falls biased toward Accent 1. Segerup and Nolan interpret this as evidence for a perceptual mechanism integrating scaling and timing information, which they ...
