Cross-pollination of normalisation techniques from speaker to face authentication using Gaussian mixture models
This paper applies score and feature normalization techniques to parts-based Gaussian mixture model (GMM) face authentication. In particular, we propose to utilize techniques that are well established in state-of-the-art speaker authentication, and apply t ...
2012POLLEN CLUMPING AND WIND DISPERSAL IN AN INVASIVE ANGIOSPERM
Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau, Michael David Martin
Pollen dispersal is a fundamental aspect of plant reproductive biology that maintains connectivity between spatially separated populations. Pollen clumping, a characteristic feature of insect-pollinated plants, is generally assumed to be a detriment to win ...
2009Large eddy simulation of pollen transport in the atmospheric boundary layer
Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau
This paper presents a framework to simulate pollen dispersal by the wind based on the large eddy simulation(LES) technique. Important phenomena such as the pollen emission by the plants and the ground deposition are parameterized by the lower boundary cond ...
2009Vertebrate conserved non coding DNA regions have a high persistence length and a short persistence time
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The comparison of complete genomes has revealed surprisingly large numbers of conserved non-protein-coding (CNC) DNA regions. However, the biological function of CNC remains elusive. CNC differ in two aspects from conserved protein-co ...
2007Evolutionary Active Vision Toward Three Dimensional Landmark-Navigation
Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki
Active vision may be useful to perform landmark-based navigation where landmark relationship requires active scanning of the environment. In this article we explore this hypothesis by evolving the neural system controlling vision and behavior of a mobile r ...
