A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LOCAL DESCRIPTORS

by Krystian Mikolajczyk, Cordelia Schmid , 2005
"... In this paper we compare the performance of descriptors computed for local interest regions, as for example extracted by the Harris-Affine detector [32]. Many different descriptors have been proposed in the literature. However, it is unclear which descriptors are more appropriate and how their perfo ..."

Object Recognition from Local Scale-Invariant Features

by David G. Lowe
"... An object recognition system has been developed that uses a new class of local image features. The features are invariant to image scaling, translation, and rotation, and partially invariant to illumination changes and affine or 3D projection. These features share similar properties with neurons in ..."

Learning to detect natural image boundaries using local brightness, color, and texture cues

by David R. Martin, Charless C. Fowlkes, Jitendra Malik - PAMI , 2004
"... The goal of this work is to accurately detect and localize boundaries in natural scenes using local image measurements. We formulate features that respond to characteristic changes in brightness, color, and texture associated with natural boundaries. In order to combine the information from these fe ..."

Usability Analysis of Visual Programming Environments: a `cognitive dimensions' framework

by T. R. G. Green, M. Petre - JOURNAL OF VISUAL LANGUAGES AND COMPUTING , 1996
"... The cognitive dimensions framework is a broad-brush evaluation technique for interactive devices and for non-interactive notations. It sets out a small vocabulary of terms designed to capture the cognitively-relevant aspects of structure, and shows how they can be traded off against each other. T ..."

techniques focus on different aspects and would make good complements. Insofar as the examples we used are representative, current VPLs are successful in achieving a good `closeness of match', but designers need to consider the `viscosity' (resistance to local change) and the `secondary notation

A Bayesian Framework for the Analysis of Microarray Expression Data: Regularized t-Test and Statistical Inferences of Gene Changes

by Pierre Baldi, Anthony D. Long - Bioinformatics , 2001
"... Motivation: DNA microarrays are now capable of providing genome-wide patterns of gene expression across many different conditions. The first level of analysis of these patterns requires determining whether observed differences in expression are significant or not. Current methods are unsatisfactory ..."

distributions, parameterized by corresponding means and variances with hierarchical prior distributions. We derive point estimates for both parameters and hyperparameters, and regularized expressions for the variance of each gene by combining the empirical variance with a local background variance associated

The struggle to govern the commons

by Thomas Dietz, Elinor Ostrom, Paul C. Stern - Science , 2003
"... Human institutions—ways of organizing activities—affect the resilience of the environ-ment. Locally evolved institutional arrangements governed by stable communities and buffered from outside forces have sustained resources successfully for centuries, al-though they often fail when rapid change occu ..."

An affine invariant interest point detector

by Krystian Mikolajczyk, Cordelia Schmid - In Proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Computer Vision , 2002
"... Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach for detecting affine invariant interest points. Our method can deal with significant affine transformations including large scale changes. Such transformations introduce significant changes in the point location as well as in the scale and the shape of ..."

The Alignment Template Approach to Statistical Machine Translation

by Franz Josef Och, Hermann Ney , 2004
"... A phrase-based statistical machine translation approach — the alignment template approach — is described. This translation approach allows for general many-to-many relations between words. Thereby, the context of words is taken into account in the translation model, and local changes in word order f ..."

GPSR: Greedy perimeter stateless routing for wireless networks

by Brad Karp, H. T. Kung - MOBICOM , 2000
"... We present Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR), a novel routing protocol for wireless datagram networks that uses the positions of touters and a packer's destination to make packet forwarding decisions. GPSR makes greedy forwarding decisions using only information about a router's i ..."

-hoc routing protocols as the number of network destinations increases. Under mobility's frequent topology changes, GPSR can use local topology information to find correct new routes quickly. We describe the GPSR protocol, and use extensive simulation of mobile wireless networks to compare its performance

Fine-grained Mobility in the Emerald System

by Eric Jul, Henry Levy, Norman Hutchinson, Andrew Black - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... Emerald is an object-based language and system designed for the construction of distributed programs. An explicit goal of Emerald is support for object mobility; objects in Emerald can freely move within the system to take advantage of distribution and dynamically changing environments. We say that ..."
