Though traditional thresholding methods are simple and efficient, they may result in poor segmentation results because only image's brightness information is taken into account in the procedure of threshold selection. Considering the contextual infor...

Metabolism of drugs affects their absorption, distribution, efficacy, excretion, and toxicity profiles. Metabolism is routinely assessed experimentally using recombinant enzymes, human liver microsome, and animal models. Unfortunately, these experime...
In order to meet the increasing demands of mobile service robot applications, a dedicated perception module is an essential requirement for the interaction with users in real-world scenarios. In particular, multi sensor fusion and human re-identifica...
The increasing interest in the effects of emotion on cognitive, social, and neural processes creates a constant need for efficient and reliable techniques for emotion elicitation. Emotions are important in many areas, especially in advertising design...
Images are powerful tools with which to convey human emotions, with different images stimulating diverse emotions. Numerous factors affect the emotions stimulated by the image, and many researchers have previously focused on low-level features such a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Early identification and diagnosis of tumors are of great significance to improve the survival rate of patients. Amongst other techniques, contrast-enhanced ultrasound is an important means to help doctors diagnose tumors. D...
This paper proposes a UAV platform that autonomously detects, hunts, and takes down other small UAVs in GPS-denied environments. The platform detects, tracks, and follows another drone within its sensor range using a pre-trained machine learning mode...
Explaining colour variation among animals at broad geographic scales remains challenging. Here we demonstrate how deep learning-a form of artificial intelligence-can reveal subtle but robust patterns of colour feature variation along an ecological gr...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The retinal fundus contains intricate vascular trees, some of which are mutually intersected and overlapped. The intersection and overlapping of retinal vessels represent vascular junctions (i.e. bifurcation and crossover) ...
