Technology for automated analysis of maize pollen used as a marker for mutation: 1. Flow-through systems
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1981-01)
, provided a suitable training set could be devised to instruct the computer on the characteristics of the rare cells. On the other hand, flow cytometry uses primarily cytochemical means for detection and has been shown to detect rare events. Hence, the two...
Adaptive Silhouette Extraction and Human Tracking in Complex and Dynamic Environments
(IEEE, 2006-10)
Extracting a human silhouette from an image is the enabling step for many high-level vision processing tasks, such as human tracking and activity analysis. Although there are a number of silhouette extraction and human ...
Calculating the 3D-Pose of Rigid-Objects Using Active Appearance Models
(IEEE, 2004-05)
This paper presents two different algorithms for object tracking and pose estimation. Both methods are based on an appearance model technique called Active Appearance Model (AAM). The key idea of the first method is to ...
Energy consumption and environmental degradation in Iraq : the role of renewables, electricity, fossil fuels, and natural resources
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2023)
The present research explores the impact of various factors, including electrical energy consumption, fossil fuel energy, renewable energy consumption, and natural resource sufficiency, on environmental degradation in Iraq, using data from the World...
Multiple Targets Geolocation Using SIFT and Stereo Vision on Airborne Video Sequences
(IEEE, 2009-10)
We propose a robust and accurate method for
multi-target geo-localization from airborne video. The difference between our approach and other approaches in the literature is fourfold: 1) it does not require gimbal control ...
