PDBsum, http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbsum, is a website providing numerous pictorial analyses of each entry in the Protein Data Bank. It portrays the structural features of all proteins, DNA and ligands in the entry, as well as depicting the interactions between them. The latest features, described here, include annotation of human protein sequences with their naturally occurring amino acid variants,...

Methods for processing of pictorial queries speci ed by pictorial query trees are presented. Leaves of a pictorial query tree correspond to individual pictorial queries while internal nodes correspond to logical operations on them. Algorithms for processing individual pictorial queries and for parsing and computing the overall result of a pictorial query tree are presented. Issues involved in o...

An important vision problem is to automatically describe what people are doing a sequence of video. This problem is difficult for many reasons. First, tracking the articulations of people is difficult because arms and legs are small and can move quite fast. Secondly, one must sew the estimated poses from each frame together into a coherent motion path; this is difficult because people can move ...

In this paper, we propose design guidelines of comprehensive pictorial symbols for communication support [1]. We conducted the questionnaire survey for evaluating understandability of pictorial symbols reproduced by JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) committee. Then, we examined features of pictorial symbols whose percentage of questions answered correctly was high. According to these features,...

In this thesis the problem of estimating the 2-D articulated pose, or configuration of a person in unconstrained images such as consumer photographs is addressed. Contributions are split among three major chapters. In previous work the Pictorial Structure Model approach has proven particularly successful, and is appealing because of its moderate computational cost. However, the accuracy of resu...

Past research has demonstrated that pictorial preference assessments can predict subsequent reinforcement effects for individuals with developmental disabilities only when access to the selected stimulus is provided contingent on a pictorial selection. The purpose of the present investigation was to assess more comprehensively the feasibility of the pictorial format with children with developme...

with quick development of digital images and the availability of imaging tools, massive amounts of images are created. therefore, efficient management and suitable retrieval, especially by computers, is one of themost challenging fields in image processing. automatic image annotation (aia) or refers to attaching words, keywords or comments to an image or to a selected part of it. in this paper,...

OBJECTIVE Countries around the world have increasingly adopted pictorial health warning labels (HWLs) for tobacco packages to warn consumers about smoking-related risks. Research on how pictorial HWLs work has primarily analysed self-reported responses to HWLs; studies at the neural level comparing the brain's response to different types of HWLs may provide an important complement to prior stud...
