Illumination invariance remains the most researched, yet the most challenging aspect of automatic face recognition. In this paper we investigate the discriminative power of colour-based invariants in the presence of large illumination... more
Dynamically changing background ("dynamic background") still presents a great challenge to many motion-based video surveillance systems. In the context of event detection, it is a major source of false alarms. There is a strong need from... more
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate two dental macroscopic age estimation criteria. Namely root dentine translucency (RDT) and dental root color measured as a mean value of the red, blue, and green components of color (RGB).... more
Estimation of adult skeletal age-at-death is not only one of the most important identifying features for an unknown individual but also one of the most difficult to achieve especially among old adults. The main source of the problem is... more
The author considers the Mona Lisa a a major site of artistic investigations of gender and identity. Specifically, she analyzes the symbiotic relationship between two landmark reinventions of the Mona Lisa: first, Marcel Duchamp’s... more
This is a summary of the (apparently unanimous) scholarly evaluation of the Hockney-Falco theory for 1420-1550, based on rigorous optical analyses, computer vision, material studies, art history, history of optics and science, and... more
Complex color documents with both graphics and text, where the text varies in color and size, call for specialized binarization techniques. We propose a novel method for binarization of color documents, whereby the foreground text is... more

An on-line computer technique is described for the detection and quantitation of left-to-right shunts. The computer used Student's t test to evaluate the probability that variations in right heart oxygen saturations were due to... more
Fish usually have a simple body shape and many morphological characters can be easily obtained by 2-dimensional image analysis. Measuring errors are often analyzed using data from several researchers or repeated measurements, but the... more
The analysis of human crowds has widespread uses from law enforcement to urban engineering and traffic management. All of these require a crowd to first be detected, which is the problem addressed in this paper. Given an image, the... more
Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA) systems are increasingly based on advanced technology and are required to handle a diversity of sensors to exploit the associated forms of collected imagery. The future real time... more
Illumination invariance remains the most researched, yet the most challenging aspect of automatic face recognition. In this paper we propose a novel, general recognition framework for efficient matching of individual face images, sets or... more
This report describes the design, implementation, evaluation and original enhancements to the Live-Wire method for 2D and 3D image segmentation. Live-Wire 2D employs a semi-automatic paradigm; the user is asked to select a few boundary... more
Background in music psychology. Physical movement plays an important role in musical perception and production. It is generally agreed among professional singers and vocal teachers, for example, that there are relationships between the... more
Heavy metal resistance (HMR) in Eubacteria is regulated by a variety of systems including transcription factors from the MerR family (COG0789). The HMR systems are characterized by the complex signal structure (strong palindrome within a... more
Genome-wide computational analysis of alternative splicing (AS) in several flowering plants has revealed that pre-mRNAs from about 30% of genes undergo AS. Chlamydomonas, a simple unicellular green alga, is part of the lineage that... more
Successful application of posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) for gene function study in both plants and animals depends on high target specificity and silencing efficiency. By computational analysis with genome and/or transcriptome... more
We analysed multi-channel electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings during a spatial Working Memory (WM) task in order to test the hypothesis that segmentation of perception and action is present when the visual stimulus has been stored in... more
Background: Morphometry and quantitative image analysis have shown considerable potential for diagnostic applications because they eliminate subjectivity and increase the measurement reproduc-ibility. In our study, we investigated the use... more
