Complex composite derivative and its application to edge detection by Pan, Xiang, Ye, Yongqiang, Wang, Jianhong, Gao, Xudong, He, Chun, Wang, Danwei, Jiang, Bin, Li, Lihua

“…Both objective and subjective comparisons with other edge detectors are carried out, including evaluations through the use of the benchmark Berkeley Segmentation Dataset (BSDS500). In contrast with the classical first-order derivative, the composite derivative is order-steerable; one can adjust the orders of fractional integration and derivative to tune magnitude characteristic and reach a compromise between sensitivity to noise and detection accuracy.…”

An observational study of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in treatment-experienced people living with HIV in Singapore by Ang, Li Wei, Ng, Oon Tek, Boudville, Irving Charles, Leo, Yee Sin, Wong, Chen Seong

“…Background: While the use of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has conferred significant reduction in morbidity and mortality, there are growing concerns about the metabolic complications of antiretroviral regimens in HIV-infected patients. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Singapore. …”

Boundary detection in echocardiographic images by directional gradient vector flow by Krishnan, Shankar M., Cheng, Jierong, Foo, Say Wei

“…Snakes, or active contour models, have been widely used in image segmentation. In this paper, a new type of dynamic external force for snakes named directional gradient vector flow (DGVF) is proposed for the detection of left ventricular boundary from echocardiographic images. …”

A sparse object category model for efficient learning and exhaustive recognition by Fergus, R, Perona, P, Zisserman, A

“…We present a "parts and structure" model for object category recognition that can be learnt efficiently and in a semi-supervised manner: the model is learnt from example images containing category instances, without requiring segmentation from background clutter. The model is a sparse representation of the object, and consists of a star topology configuration of parts modeling the output of a variety of feature detectors. …”
