This paper proposes an efficient technique for human motion recognition based on motion history images and an eigenspace technique. In recent years, human motion recognition has become one of the most popular research fields. It is expected to be applied in a security system, man-machine communication, and so on. In the proposed technique, we use two feature images and the eigenspace technique ...

n In 1998, the imaging properties of the Advanced Land Imager on the Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) satellite were calibrated at Lincoln Laboratory under simulated flight conditions. The spatial calibrations estimated the system transfer functions for the various spectral bands, and the line of sight of each detector, relative to a reference cube on the instrument. The Advanced Land Imager is a push-...

The concept of sentience concerns the capacity to have feelings. There is evidence for sophisticated cognitive concepts and for both positive and negative feelings in a wide range of nonhuman animals. All vertebrates, including fish, as well as some molluscs and decapod crustaceans have pain systems. Most people today consider that their moral obligations extend to many animal species. Moral de...

BACKGROUND The research was carried out within the course of two years (2005-2006) in four countries from southern, southeast and eastern parts of Europe: Bulgaria, Italy, Macedonia and Romania. The data are collected mainly from Bulgaria and Italy and are compared with those from Macedonia and Romania. METHODS The information was gathered largely from literature as well as field collected da...

Semantic knowledge may be organized in terms of similarity relations based on shared features and/or complementary relations based on co-occurrence in events. Thus, relationships between manipulable objects such as tools may be defined by their functional properties (what the objects are used for) or thematic properties (e.g., what the objects are used with or on). A recent study from our labor...

Up till now it is still difficult to acquire stereoscopic space-borne image pairs of some area due to climate condition or atmosphere pollution. This paper describes the geometric aspects and the mathematical treatment for the stereoscopic image pair composed of optical and SAR space-borne images in positioning. First, the geometric equation for linear array push-broom imagery and F. Leberl mod...

In a Comment recently published in Molecules [1], Prof. C. Wiart took issue with our identification of the plant species used in our work as Paulownia coreana. Although this name was assigned by H. Uyeki in 1925 [2], appears as such in handbooks of Korean flora [3], and examples of its use can be found in the recent literature [4–9], after reviewing the arguments and references presented in [1]...
