A novel generalized feature extraction method based on the Expansion Matching (EXM) method and the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) transform is presented. This yields an eecient method to locate a large variety of features with a single pass of parallel ltering operations. The EXM method is used to design optimal detectors for diierent features. The KL representation is used to deene an optimal basis for r...

The calibration of SCIAMACHY was thoroughly checked since the instrument was launched on-board ENVISAT in February 2002. While SCIAMACHY’s functional performance is excellent since launch, a number of technical difficulties have appeared, that required adjustments to the calibration. The problems can be separated into three types: (1) Those caused by the instrument and/or platform environment. ...

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the automatic classification of low-resolution palmprints. First we use some directional line detectors to extract the principal lines according to their characteristics and their definitions in two steps: the potential beginnings (“line initials”) of the principal lines are extracted and then, on the basis of these line initials, a recursive process is...

In this artide, I have considered the main FLT methods still in use at schools and presented the theory of language and leaming underiying them, their main features, activities and techniques, their foundation and decline, as well as a general assessment of ai! of them. The following methods have been analysed: the Grammar-Translation Method, the Structuralist Methods, and the Communicative App...

We demonstrate a novel concept for a position sensitive microchannel plate detector. This detector provides sub-millimeter spatial resolution by examining the signal induced on a wire harp by the electron cloud from a microchannel plate detector. Wires in the harp are efficiently read out by coupling them to a delay line.

We demo an online system that tracks the availability of over four-hundred public SPARQL endpoints and makes up-to-date results available to the public. Our demo currently focuses on how often an endpoint is online/offline, but we plan to extend the system to collect metrics about available meta-data descriptions, SPARQL features supported, and performance for generic queries.
