Regression and classification approaches to eye localization in face images by Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…We investigate three approaches to the task: a regression approach aiming to directly minimize errors in the predicted eye positions, a simple Bayesian model of eye and non-eye appearance, and a discriminative eye detector trained using AdaBoost. By using identical training and test data for each method we are able to perform an unbiased comparison. …”

Legionella pneumophila filamentous morphological form and the generation of novel spherical form upon interaction with protozoan hosts by Chan, Sock Hoai

“…Our investigation showed that filamentation cannot be neatly pegged to a single dominant factor but is promoted under a concerted influence of environmental conditions leaning towards (i) higher than ambient temperatures, at 37-42°C, (ii) static fluid movement, and (iii) with at least a minimal organic content of 5% buffered yeast extract, or equivalent. In the course of investigating interaction of the filamentous form with protozoan hosts, a spherical form was discovered. …”
