Pattern recognition receptors

Japanese Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2011
Immunity is based on self/nonself discrimination. In vertebrates, two major systems, innate and adaptive immune systems, constitute host defense against invading microbes. Adaptive immunity is characterized by specific immune responses through B- or T-cell antigen receptors that are generated by somatic recombination, whereas nonspecific responses to ...

Recognition of Defocused Patterns

IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications, 2014
The paper addresses the recognition problem of defocused patterns. Though recognition algorithms as- sume that the input images are focused and sharp, it does not always hold on actual camera-captured images. Thus, a recognition method that can recognize defocused patterns is required.
