Results: The neural control system, which maps the visual information to motor commands, is evolved online using real … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComplexity in Human Perception of Brightness: A Historical Review on the Evolution of the Philosophy of Visual PerceptionKuntal Ghosh, Kamales BhaumikProblem statement: The “eye-brain” complex, which contributes maximally to visual perception, is no doubt a very interesting object for complexity study. In this review we shall try to present some of its aspects in perceiving brightness. It is a well-known fact that the perceived brightness of any surface depends on the brightness of the surfaces that surround it, a phenomenon … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPedestrian Detection in RGB-D Data Using Deep AutoencodersPavel Aleksandrovich Kazantsev, Pavel Vyacheslavovich SkribtsovRecent popularity of RGB-D sensors mostly comes from the fact that RGB-images and depth maps supplement each other in machine vision tasks, such as object detection and recognition. This article addresses a problem of RGB and depth data fusion for pedestrian detection. We propose pedestrian detection algorithm that involves fusion of outputs of 2D- and 3D-detectors based on deep autoencoders. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 17 Nov 2015 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
