generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. in this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. the proposed technique i...

We have designed a novel transcriptome subtraction method for the genome-scale analysis of differential gene expression in highly complex eukaryotes, in which suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) is performed first to enrich the target and, after exchange of adapters, negative subtraction chain (NSC) is then used to eliminate the remaining background. NSC evolved from differential subtra...

Direct numerical solution of the coordinate-space integral-equation version of the two-particle Lippmann-Schwinger (LS) equation is considered without invoking the traditional partial-wave decomposition. The singular kernel of the three-dimensional LS equation in coordinate space is regularized by a subtraction technique. The resulting nonsingular integral equation is then solved via the Nystro...

An x-ray imaging system, using digital subtraction techniques, has been developed. The system requires: (1) high output generation equipment; (2) an image intensifier capable of receiving high output exposures, 1 mR (2.58 X 10(-7) C/kg) at the face of the intensifier, without loss of either contrast or resolution; (3) a precision digital video camera; (4) processing computer with sufficient sto...

A subtraction technique has been employed to study refractoriness in the median nerve and thenar muscles in man. The absolutely refractory periods of the distal motor nerve branches and of the muscle fibres were found to be similar, the majority being within the 2.5--3.0 ms range; the values were distributed in a unimodal manner. The relatively refractory periods of the motor nerve terminals we...

The subtraction method, first developed by Ziedses des Plantes [1] in 1953, eliminates overlying bone shadows from angiographic films, enhancing the display of vascular anatomy. To completely eliminate all bone details, however, a second order subtraction is sometimes necessary; this requires the superimposition of two mask films over the angiographic film to make the final subtraction print [2...

We address the problem of motion artifact reduction in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) using image registration techniques. Most of registration algorithms proposed for application in DSA, have been designed for peripheral and cerebral angiography images in which we mainly deal with global rigid motions. These algorithms did not yield good results when applied to coronary angiography imag...

We present the first measurement of reconstructed jets in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Utilizing the large coverage of the STAR Time Projection Chamber and Electromagnetic Calorimeter, we apply several modern jet reconstruction algorithms and background subtraction techniques and explore their systematic uncertainties in heavy ion events. The differential spectrum for inclusive jet ...

The proposed approach aims to track multiple moving people in a colour video acquired with a single camera. The first phase of the approach consists in precisely detecting multi-human inside moving foregrounds. The input to this phase is foreground pixels which were extracted from the scene using any background subtraction technique. These moving foregrounds are then further segmented into mult...
