This paper introduces a new nonparametric estimation approach that can be used for data that is not necessarily Gaussian distributed. The proposed approach employs the Shr?odinger...
—We propose an automatic approach to soft color segmentation, which produces soft color segments with an appropriate amount of overlapping and transparency essential to synthesiz...
This study explores the feasibility of estimating the Body Condition Score (BCS) of cows from digital images by employing statistical shape analysis and regression machines. The s...
