background: our aim was to evaluate the effect of intravenous intralipid administration as an antidote on the poisoned patients' glasgow coma scale (gcs), hemodynamic parameters, arterial blood gas analysis, and routine metabolic profile tests (i.e. urea, glucose, sodium, and potassium) in the setting of non-local anesthetic drug overdose. methods: in this randomized controlled trial, a to...

This paper discusses the problem of selecting appropriate scales for region detection prior to feature localization. We argue that an approach in morphological opening-closing scale-space is better than one in Gaussian scale-space. The proposed operator is based on a new shape decomposition method called morphological band-pass lter that decomposes an image into structures of diierent size and ...

This paper presents a novel approach to selecting appropriate scales for region detection prior to feature localization. We develop and formalize a number of requirements that should be fulllled by such an appropriate scale operator and show by theoretical considerations and experiments that a morphological opening-closing scale-space meets these requirements better than Gaussian scale-space. A...

Local Binary Patterns (LBPs) have been used in a wide range of texture classification scenarios and have proven to provide a highly discriminative feature representation. A major limitation of LBP is its sensitivity to affine transformations. In this work, we present a scale- and rotation-invariant computation of LBP. Rotation-invariance is achieved by explicit alignment of features at the extr...

landfill is one of the primary methods for urban solid waste disposal. in order to reduce theenvironmental adverse effects and to protect the public health and human welfare, evaluating the landfill isutmost importance. in this research work evaluation procedure for the current condition of ahvaz city urbansolid waste landfill site with criteria of local screening method (lsm) is outlined. in t...

Prediction of mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-based composite is one of the important issues which should be addressed reasonably. A proper modeling approach is a multi-scale technique starting from nano scale and lasting to macro scale passing in-between scales of micro and meso. The main goal of this research is to develop a multi-scale modeling approach to extract mechanical propert...

Scale space theory is a framework which permits one to analyze an image at diierent resolutions. The crucial feature is to let the resolution of an image vary continuously rather than discrete. This opens up the toolbox of mathematical analysis for image analysis. When extrema and saddle points of an image are tracked with increasing scale we know that they will have disappeared at suuciently l...

We present a novel probabilistic approach for local scale selection. The proposed method computes a probability measure on scale space, which is based on Bayesian estimation theory, and it leads to an eecient computational implementation. At each scale we associate a decomposition likelihood, one for the smoothed image and other for the residual. The scale selection method, based on the minimal...
