A 15-year-old boy presented with acute exacerbation of chronic headache, as well as new onset nausea, vomiting, and visual changes. Past medical history and review of systems were noncontributory. Physical examination revealed mild papilledema and paralysis of upward gaze. The patient was subsequently referred for an emergent head CT, which was initially performed without contrast but then with...

A novel wavelet transform coding method based on the classiication of diierent wavelet amplitude regions is proposed. By using a low-complexity but eecient prediction model, we can distinguish diierent wavelet amplitude regions at upper subbands. Therefore, adaptive quantizers can be applied to diierent regions to achieve better reconstruction quality. The the main advantage of this algorithm i...

This paper introduces a technique for region-based pose tracking without the need to explicitly compute contours. We assume a surface model of a rigid object and at least one calibrated camera view. The goal is to find the pose parameters that optimally fit the model surface to the contour of the object seen in the image. In contrast to conventional contour-based techniques, which acquire the c...

Image classification using low-level features is always a challenging research in computer vision. Recent years, content-based image retrieval has emerged as an important area in computer vision and multimedia computing. In this project, I'm going to introduce and implement an approach [1] that can better represent the image using low-level features and then I apply this method in image classif...

We have observed the central 45 region of the Galaxy at 620 MHz band of the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in radio continuum, and measured the polarisation properties of 64 small diameter background extragalactic sources seen through the −6< l <6, −2< b <2 region with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Very Large Array (VLA). Our 620 MHz observations show that Sgr A* ...

Saliency prediction is a well studied problem in computer vision. Early saliency models were based on low-level hand-crafted feature derived from insights gained in neuroscience and psychophysics. In the wake of deep learning breakthrough, a new cohort of models were proposed based on neural network architectures, allowing significantly higher gaze prediction than previous shallow models, on al...

A family of proximity graphs, called Empty Region Graphs (ERG) is presented. The vertices of an ERG are points in the plane, and two points are connected if their neighborhood, defined by a region, does not contain any other point. The region defining the neighborhood of two points is a parameter of the graph. This way of defining graphs is not new, and ERGs include several known proximity grap...

In this paper, we propose a novel method for comparing the shape of similar objects. From the viewpoint of linear algebra, we turn this identifiable region detection problem into a low-rank submatrices searching process, and solve it with biclustering. Comparing with traditional cluster analysis, our method looks for structural information on both object index and local shape dimensions, which ...
