Razor’s edge

well as attempting to make their mark in the new crossover SUV market with the Ford Edge. However, many would argue that this is just too little, too late. While the Edge does lack certain qualities with respect to its competitors, it also comes with a more affordable price

Writing is, at its core, a technology. It allows us to take our thoughts and arrange them spatially in the physical world. Living in a culture where this practice is an every day occurrence, the physical nature of writing fluidly becomes part of our consciousness. This is what the class project exposed for me. Having to “invent” a writing technology forced me to see the importance of being able to easily put down my thoughts and work with them visually. At this very moment I am transferring

“A worm tells summer better than a clock, the slug’s a living calendar of days: What shall it tell me if a timeless insect, Says the world wears away?” As a young poet Dylan suffered from many things two of which were financial problems and alcoholic abuse. Thomas poems were his way of expressing his feelings and thoughts. Despite Thomas struggles with life, he still managed to become a very successful poet. What transitioned within the young British poet’s life will be the discovery of his personal

Abstract—Character Recognition by machines is an innovative way by which the dependence on manpower is reduced. Character recognition provides a reliable alternative of converting manual text into digitized format. Now-a-days, as technology becomes integral part of human life, many applications have enabled the incorporation of English OCR for real time inputs. The advantages that the English alphabet has is its simplicity offered by less number of letters i.e. 26 and easier classification due to

Pedestrian Detection in Surveillance Abstract Pedestrian detection is fragmented as there are numerous algorithms used in different research. This research aims to provide an overview to understand the current state of pedestrian detection as well as analyse the challenges, effectiveness, accuracy and cost benefit of different approaches used in surveillance and how current challenges are being tackled. Introduction Pedestrian detection is a key problem in computer vision. There are a number

The transformation matrix can be obtained to detect the camera movement; camera image zoom and camera rotate. Finally, using the method sobel edge detection the camera occlusion and defocus can be detected. The method also detect the sudden shut downs in camera or images loss. Another feature of the

Agricultural production has increased manifold due to the advent of automation and intelligence in various stages of a crop’s life cycle. Introduction of such processes has led to a significant increase in the output and reduction in the costs incurred in manual labour and other farm equipment. A scheme where machine vision is implemented can be used to perceive the position of a fruit for harvesting. This technology has been used to develop both land and aerial based systems for fruit detection

Ford Motor Company is one of the top leading car sales company in the US. They have a good reputation, a great line of vehicles, and up to date technology. But that is not what is going to sell their cars. Marketing, specifically to each generation differently is what is going to sell their cars. The baby boomers, generation x and generation y each have distinctively different values and consumer behaviors. Ford needs to understand this and gather information to conduct profitable marketing

II FEATURE EXTRACTION Feature extraction is the third stage in medical image processing application, after image pre-processing. In feature extraction, the features like the shape, colour, texture are used to describe an image content[bio2].features can be short relevance or strong relevant ones. Short relevant features give only little information about the image, while strong relevant features provide significant information about the image. Finding these strong relevant features are time consuming
