Abstract: In CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval), visual features such as shape, color and texture are extracted to characterize images. Each of the features is represented using one or more feature descriptors. During the retrieval, features and descriptors of the query are compared to those of the images in the database in order to rank each indexed image according to its distance to the que...

In video-conferencing, the participant watches the screen rather than the camera. This turns the gaze direction away from the other party and makes eye contact impossible. Artificial gaze redirection by iris repositioning was proposed, but the feasibility of crucial algorithmic components, especially the challenging computer vision parts, was not demonstrated. This paper demonstrates a system f...

Congenital Horner syndrome is a rare disorder that accounts for less than 5% of all cases of Horner syndrome. Like Horner syndrome in general, it consists primarily of ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis. Congenital Horner syndrome may manifest some special features such as iris heterochromia since the sympathetic nervous system is an essential component for the development and maintenance of eye co...

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. The disease overwhelmingly affects white populations. Other risk factors include fair skin, light iris color, ancestry from northern latitudes, and ocular/oculodermal melanocytosis. Historically, enucleation was the definitive treatment of uveal melanoma, but brachytherapy and proton beam irradiation are now the most co...

conclusions physicians should be aware of this rare site of metastasis. early diagnosis is of paramount importance in order to effectively prevent the significant morbidity this condition can cause if left untreated. introduction small cell carcinoma constitutes the most aggressive type of lung cancer, with the greatest propensity for early disseminated disease. although commonly neglected due ...

Nowadays research has expanded to extracting auxiliary information from various biometric techniques like fingerprints, face, iris, palm and voice . This information contains some major features like gender, age, beard, mustache, scars, height, hair, skin color, glasses, weight, facial marks and tattoos. All this information contributes strongly to identification of human. The major challenges ...
