Statistical Assessment of MSigDB Gene Sets in Colon Cancer
Gene expression profiling offers a great opportunity for understanding the key role of genes in alterations which drive a normal cell to a cancer state. A deep understanding of the mechanisms of tumorigenesis ...

SVD Based Feature Selection and Sample Classification of Proteomic Data
Feature selection becomes a central task when ’signature’ profiles specific to a pathological status have to be extracted from high dimensional gene expression or proteomic data. In the present paper, we propo...

Visual Detection of Hexagonal Headed Bolts Using Method of Frames and Matching Pursuit
In this paper we focus on the problem of automatically detecting the absence of the fastening bolts that secure the rails to the sleepers. The proposed visual inspection system uses images acquired from a digi...

A time-to-crash detector based on area expansions: Example of an opto-motor reflex
In this paper we show that the rate of change of the area that a moving object projects on the image plane and the temporal behaviour of the time-to-crash between the object and the camera are deeply connected. I...

A fast obstacle detection method based on optical flow
This paper presents a methodology, based on the estimation of the optical flow, to detect static obstacles during the motion of a mobile robot. The algorithm is based on a correlation scheme. At any time, we e...
