Scale invariance without scale selection [PDF]

2008 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2008
In this work we construct scale invariant descriptors (SIDs) without requiring the estimation of image scale; we thereby avoid scale selection which is often unreliable. Our starting point is a combination of log-polar sampling and spatially-varying smoothing that converts image scalings and rotations into translations.

Connecting entropy scaling and density scaling

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022
It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches. The residual entropy and the effective hardness of interaction (itself a derivative at constant residual entropy ...

Large lattice distortions and size-dependent bandgap modulation in epitaxial halide perovskite nanowires

Nature Communications, 2020
Metal-halide perovskites are promising photovoltaic materials, but fundamental questions remain open due to their structural complexity. Here the authors show, by correlated microscopy and spectroscopy methods, that epitaxially induced lattice ...

Analyses of natural courses of Japanese patients with Alzheimer's disease using placebo data from placebo‐controlled, randomized clinical trials: Japanese Study on the Estimation of Clinical course of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions, 2019
Introduction Symptomatic anti‐Alzheimer's disease (AD) drugs have been commonly used for the treatment of AD. Knowing the natural courses of patients with AD on placebo is highly relevant for clinicians to understand their efficacy and for investigators ...

New analytic results for the Zernike circle polynomials from a basic result in the Nijboer-Zernike diffraction theory [PDF]

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2011
Several quantities related to the Zernike circle polynomials admit an expression, via the basic identity in the diffraction theory of Nijboer and Zernike, as an infinite integral involving the product of two or three Bessel functions. In this paper these
