Statistical Methods for Descriptor Matching
ISBN: 9783639715392 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Many applications, as in computer vision or medicine, aim at identifying the similarities between several images or signals. Thereafter, it is possible to detect objects, to follow them, or to overlap different pictures. In every case, the algorithmic procedures that treat the images use a selection of keypoints that they try to match by pairs. The most popular algorithm nowadays is SIFT, that performs keypoint selection, descriptor calculation, and provides a criterion for global descriptor matching. We considered changing the classical descriptor, which resulted in a shift testing problem...

As an adolescent, the protagonist is sexually repressed and socially humiliated, incapable of communicating her shame. As a mature woman, the narrator gives a frank account of the childhood mortification that is stamped into her psyche, and (in the concluding lines of the text) flags a later...

Derek Walcott, The Journeyman Years, Volume 1 : Culture, Society, Literature, and Art: Occasional Prose 1957-1974
ISBN: 9789042037564 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 572 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

His prodigious reviewing activity extended far beyond those areas with which one might most readily associate his interests and convictions. As Gordon Rohlehr once presciently observed, "If one wants to see a quotidian workaday Walcott, one should go back to [his] well over five hundred...
