the human brain is composed of several interconnected, functionally distinct structures and much debate has surrounded the basic question of how these structures evolve. brain development begins in early gestation. between 4 weeks and 9 months, brain undergoes rapid development. there are six stages of nervous system development. brain increases connections between birth and 21 years of age. ab...

Efficient and robust information retrieval from large image databases is an essential functionality for the reuse, manipulation, and editing of multimedia documents. Structural feature indexing is a potential approach to efficient shape retrieval from large databases, but it is sensitive to noise, scales of observation, and local shape deformations. To improve the robustness, shape feature gene...

In this paper, various cooperation schemes of SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifiers applied on two feature sets for handwritten digit recognition are examined. We start with a feature set composed of structural and statistical features and corresponding SVM classifier applied on the complete feature set. Later, we investigate the various partitions of the feature set as well as the advantage...
