We will demonstrate an object tracking algorithm that uses a novel simple symmetric similarity function between spatially-smoothed kernel-density estimates of the model and target distributions. The similarity measure is based on the expectation of the density estimates over the model or target images. The density is estimated using radial-basis kernel functions which measure the affinity betwe...

Most existing stream clustering algorithms adopt the online component and offline component. The disadvantage of two-phase algorithms is that they can not generate the final clusters online and the accurate clustering results need to be got through the offline analysis. Furthermore, the clustering algorithms for uncertain data streams are incompetent to find clusters of arbitrary shapes accordi...

Abstract Introduction Depression is an increasingly prevalent mental health condition. Patients with depression have disrupted rapid eye movement (REM) sleep as characterized by shortened REM latency, increased duration, and density. However, it unknown whether the dynamic patterns of EEG within episodes are altered in these patients. Here we investigated complexity during using analysis irregu...

Evidence is accumulating that patients with schizophrenia exhibit relatively severe deficits in early visual sensory processing within the dorsal stream, while processing within the ventral stream appears to be relatively more intact. Here, illusory contour (IC) processing was investigated in a cohort of schizophrenia patients and age-matched healthy controls using high-density visual evoked po...

We measure the spatial density of F turnoff stars in the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream, from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data, using statistical photometric parallax. We find a set of continuous, consistent parameters that describe the leading Sgr stream’s position, direction, and width for 15 stripes in the North Galactic Cap, and 3 stripes in the South Galactic Cap. We produce a catalog ...

A high-speed wind tunnel has been used to experimentally simulate the flow experienced by a capsule entering a planetary atmosphere. High speed photography showed that a steady test time of approximately 50 μs existed in the facility. Holographic interferometry has been performed to measure the twodimensional density distribution around a cylinder in the flow. A peak density ratio (density norm...

We discuss the density and radial velocity distributions of over 3000 candidate RR Lyrae stars selected by various methods using Sloan Digital Sky Survey data for about 1000 deg of sky. This is more than 20 times larger sample than previously reported by SDSS (Ivezić et al. 2000), and includes candidate RR Lyrae stars out to the sample limit of 100 kpc. A cutoff in the radial distribution of ha...
