Ka and a second signature of a second object detected in a second image. The second
signature represents features of the second object derived from the second image. The …

Animal coloration patterns, from zebra stripes to bird egg speckles, are remarkably varied.
With research on the perception, function, and evolution of animal patterns growing rapidly …

Background Quantifying the conspicuousness of objects against particular backgrounds is
key to understanding the evolution and adaptive value of animal coloration, and in …

A camera system comprises an image capturing device and an object classification module
connected to the image capturing device. The image capturing device has a field of view …

This paper presents a two-stage method to detect license plates in real world images. To do
license plate detection (LPD), an initial set of possible license plate character regions are …

Vein images generally appear darker with low contrast, which require contrast enhancement
during preprocessing to design satisfactory hand vein recognition system. However, the …

The description of interest points is a critical aspect of point correspondence which is vital in
some computer vision and pattern recognition tasks. SIFT descriptor has been proven to …

Traditional hand-crafted feature models are incapable of overcoming the rotation, scaling,
translation and lighting variation influence simultaneously. On the other hand, the pre …

The biologically inspired model, Hierarchical Model and X (HMAX), has excellent
performance in object categorization. It consists of four layers of computational units based …

Structural analysis of microscopic objects is a longstanding topic in several scientific
disciplines, such as biological, mechanical, and materials sciences. The scanning electron …
