Pixel-wise Ear Detection with Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Object detection and segmentation represents the basis for many tasks in computer and machine vision. In biometric recognition systems the detection of the region-of-interest (ROI) is one of the most crucial steps in the overall processing pipeline, significantly impacting the performance of the entire recognition system.

Self‐Administered Taste Testing Without Water: Normative Data for the 53‐Item Waterless Empirical Taste Test (WETT®)

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), more than 20 million Americans suffer from chronic taste problems. Unfortunately, quantitative testing is rarely performed, self‐reports are inaccurate, and “taste” is often confused with olfaction‐dependent flavors.

Long‐Term Particulate Matter Exposure May Increase Risk of Chronic Rhinosinusitis WIth Nasal Polyposis: Results from an Exposure‐Matched Study

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Particulate matter ⩽2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) and its role in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pathogenesis have gained heightened attention. We previously demonstrated that PM2.5 exposure may bias the nasal mucosa in CRS toward a Type 2 inflammatory pathway.

OpenKD: Opening Prompt Diversity for Zero- and Few-shot Keypoint Detection [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Exploiting the foundation models (e.g., CLIP) to build a versatile keypoint detector has gained increasing attention. Most existing models accept either the text prompt (e.g., ``the nose of a cat''), or the visual prompt (e.g., support image with keypoint annotations), to detect the corresponding keypoints in query image, thereby, exhibiting either ...

Ear Identification by Fusion of Segmented Slice Regions using Invariant Features: An Experimental Manifold with Dual Fusion Approach [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
This paper proposes a robust ear identification system which is developed by fusing SIFT features of color segmented slice regions of an ear. The proposed ear identification method makes use of Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to build ear model with mixture of Gaussian using vector quantization algorithm and K-L divergence is applied to the GMM framework ...
