Patches in Vision

Patches in Vision

This special issue contains extended versions of the best papers of the two " Beyond Patches " workshops we ran in 2006 and 2007 IEEE Conferences on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR). In addition, some specially solicited papers have also been included which were not part of these two workshops but do highlight and reinforce the motivation and philosophy of these workshops. We refe...

Finding Fullerene Patches in Polynomial Time I: Counting Hexagonal Patches

A hexagonal patch is a plane graph in which inner faces have length 6, inner vertices have degree 3, and boundary vertices have degree 2 or 3. We consider the following counting problem: given a sequence of twos and threes, how many hexagonal patches exist with this degree sequence along the outer face? This problem is motivated by the study of benzenoid hydrocarbons and fullerenes in computati...

Transdermal Scopolamine: Effects of Single and Repeated Patches upon Aspects of Vision

Transdermal scopolamine and transdermal placebo patches were administered on alternating days to 12 normal volunteer subjects. Visual near-point values and self-reports of blurred vision were systematically assessed 24 hours following each transdermal patch. Blurred vision was not reported following the first scopolamine patch, but became increasingly frequent following successive scopolamine p...

CSP patches

Laplacian filters are widely used in neuroscience. In the context of brain–computer interfacing, they might be preferred to data-driven approaches such as common spatial patterns (CSP) in a variety of scenarios such as, e.g., when no or few user data are available or a calibration session with a multi-channel recording is not possible, which is the case in various applications. In this paper we...
