In visual surveillance face detection can be an important cue for initializing tracking algorithms. Recent work in psychophics hints at the importance of the local context of a face for robust detection, such as head contours and torso. This paper describes a detector that actively utilizes the idea of local context. The promise is to gain robustness that goes beyond the capabilities of traditi...

We examined the prevalence and demographic and well-being correlates of spontaneous self-affirmation in the general population. Participants ( n = 3185) completed the cross-sectional, nationally representative 2013 Health Information National Trends Survey ...
Video transcoding is a mechanism to convert video bit−streams from one coding format to other formats. In this operation, the computational complexity and picture quality are the two most important concerns. MPEG−7 standard defines media Transcoding Hints (THs) in order to both reduce the complexity and improve the visual quality during transcoding process. The basic assumption is that THs are ...
BACKGROUND Historically, all black persons, regardless of ancestry or country of origin, have been categorized as one group for cancer research and control efforts. This practice likely masks variability in exposure to determinants of disease, as well as in risk of cancer incidence and mortality. The current study examines potential differences in knowledge of human papilloma virus (HPV) betwee...
