Commonly, the reduction of fecal indicator bacteria is attributed to biotic and non-biotic factors such as predation, nutrient scarcity, temperature, osmotic stress and visible light. But these factors could affect these bacteria...

We present in this report an approach to automatic detection of human faces in color images. The proposed approach consists of three parts: a human skin segmentation to identify probable regions corresponding to human faces; adaptive shape analysis to separate isolated human faces from initial segmentation results; and a view-based face detection to further identify the location of each human f...
