An image registration algorithm based on combining phase di erences at uniformly distributed spatial frequencies is described. The scheme accomodates 2-d disparities and when incorporated within a coarse-tone analysis over scale, allows for fast registration even in the presence of large disparities. Experiments performed on random noise stereo pairs demonstrate the potential of the approach.

BACKGROUND Wisconsin is facing significant physician shortages. The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH) launched Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) to recruit and prepare medical students to serve people living within urban Health Professional Shortage Areas.

In this paper, we build on a long research effort aimed at identifying the specific conditions, functional and structural characteristics of urban areas, that produce different levels residential segregation across cities. We explore in Poland's 87 largest cities, cities with more than 50,000 residents, by measuring indices dissimilarity relating to socio-professional status. then proceed exami...

China has seen the largest human migration in history, and the country's rapid urbanisation has important consequences for public health. A provincial analysis of its urbanisation trends shows shifting and accelerating rural-to-urban migration across the country and accompanying rapid increases in city size and population. The growing disease burden in urban areas attributable to nutrition and ...

increasing concern with income distribution effects rather than growth effects of government activities has prompted numerous incidence analysis of government tax and expenditure behavior, in this paper, the extent of government contributions to changes in income inequality is analyzed for the iranian economy. some major findings of this research is that income distribution in urban areas was m...

This is the Introduction to an edited volume of papers, from the Cornell-LSE-WIDER conference on Spatial Inequality and Development. The conference is part of a larger WIDER project on Spatial Disparities in Human Development.

Functional and structural changes of regional system are ongoing spatial changes that form patterns of spatial organization, depending on dominant regional forces and factors. Spatial structure of West Azerbaijan province experienced significant changes during 15 years; thus, the present research aim to investigate the manner of spatial distribution of two variables of population and activity, ...

Ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. Landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. One element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...
