The success of skeletal model in object recognition from segmented images motivates the development of a skeletal model for top-down object recognition and segmentation. We propose a novel skeleton-based generative shape model which is suitable for efficient search using dynamic programming (DP). We have devised an exclusion principle enabling DP to discover multiple instances of an object cate...

Traumatized anterior teeth require quick functional and esthetic repair. Tooth fragment reattachment is a simple and conservative clinical procedure to restore fractured anterior teeth. Different techniques of reattachment include enamel beveling, "v-" shaped internal enamel and dentin grooves, external chamfer, over contouring, and by placing fiber post, all of which were invasive methods. Thi...

in this paper the effects of transmittance, dispersion angle and diffusion length on the quantum efficiency of solar cells (qesc) have been simulated and investigated. optical path technic is used for simulation. the results show that base thickness, diffusion length, dispersion angle, number of optical confinement path and transmission angles have an extremely effects on the qesc. simulation r...

purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...
