A Nonlinear Discriminative Approach to AAM Fitting [PDF]

2007 IEEE 11th International Conference on Computer Vision, 2007
The Active Appearance Model (AAM) is a powerful generative method for modeling and registering deformable visual objects. Most methods for AAM fitting utilize a linear parameter update model in an iterative framework. Despite its popularity, the scope of this approach is severely restricted, both in fitting accuracy and capture range, due to the ...

Neurological outcomes associated with prehospital advanced airway management in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to foreign body airway obstruction

Resuscitation Plus, 2021
Objectives: Several studies have examined the association between advanced airway management (AAM) and survival for arrest that is non-shockable, noncardiac in origin, or due to suffocation; however, the efficacy of prehospital AAM compared with no AAM ...

Improved neurologically favorable survival after OHCA is associated with increased pre-hospital advanced airway management at the prefecture level in Japan

Scientific Reports, 2022
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has high incidence and mortality. The survival benefit of pre-hospital advanced airway management (AAM) for OHCA remains controversial. In Japan, pre-hospital AAM are performed for OHCA by emergency medical services (

African American Men With Low-Risk Prostate Cancer Candidates for Active Surveillance: The Will-Rogers Effect?

American Journal of Men's Health, 2017
It is controversial whether African American men(AAM) with low-risk prostate cancer (PC) should be placed on active surveillance (AS). Recent literature indicates AAM diagnosed with low-risk disease have increased pathologic upgrading and disease ...

Scale Normalization for the Distance Maps AAM [PDF]

2006 9th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, 2006
The Active Apearence Models (AAM) are often used in Man-Machine Interaction for their ability to align the faces. We propose a new normalization method for AAM based on distance map in order to strengthen their robustness to differences in illumination.

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...
