To examine whether visual attention to global and local features of visual stimuli modulates neural activity in the monkey visual cortex, we applied positron emission tomography techniques to monkeys while they were discriminating either global or local features of visual stimuli. The posterior inferior temporal cortex was more activated in discriminating global features than in discriminating ...

Skin detection is a common ancient image processing applications for detecting human images. The applications include video surveillance, naked image filters within unit-spam systems and face detection. Skin color is considered as a useful and discriminating spatial feature for many skin detection related applications, but it is not robust enough to deal with complex image environments. Skin to...

A detector for the case of a radar target with known Doppler and unknown complex amplitude in complex Gaussian noise with unknown parameters has been derived. The detector assumes that the noise is an Auto-Regressive (AR) process with Gaussian autocorrelation function which is a suitable model for ground clutter in most scenarios involving airborne radars. The detector estimates the unknown...

in this research work, alpha particle detector is made using semi-insulating gaas. a surface barrier detector with a semi-insulating gaas substrate at room temperature with pressure of 10-4 torr under -particle radiation with 5.48 mev of am241 source, have been under investigation. energy resolution of 2 and 3 mm schottky diameter have been matured and compared with the effect of voltage varia...

the present study aimed to assess changes in resting and maximum heart rates as primary indicators of cardiac autonomic function in metabolic syndrome (mets) patients and to determine their value for discriminating mets from non-mets. 468 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study and assessed according to the updated adult treatment panel iii (atp-iii) definition of mets. resting...
