Oriented Gradients Histogram - Unveiling the Visual Realm: Exploring Oriented Gradients Histogram in Computer Vision

Fouad Sabry

Summary

What is Oriented Gradients Histogram
 
In the fields of computer vision and image processing, the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) is a feature descriptor that is utilized for the purpose of object detection. This technique is used to count the number of instances of gradient orientation that occur in specific regions of an image. This technique is comparable to edge orientation histograms, scale-invariant feature transform descriptors, and shape contexts; however, it varies from those methods in that it is computed on a dense grid of evenly spaced cells and employs overlapping local contrast normalization with the purpose of achieving a higher level of accuracy.

Power Cell Secrets - The...

John Harpoon

The journey toward modern power cell technology began with a simple, yet profound, question: How could we store energy efficiently for future use? Early efforts to store and harness energy date back to the 19th century, but it wasn't until the 20th century that the foundations for power cells—an essential part of our energy storage systems—were truly laid. 
In the 1950s, the advent of the first rechargeable batteries marked a critical turning point. While earlier technologies had focused on single-use solutions, the development of rechargeable batteries, such as the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, offered a glimpse into the potential for sustainable energy storage. Scientists, engineers, and inventors sought to solve the problem of storing energy in a way that was both compact and reliable, an issue that had long hampered the efficiency of early electrical systems. 
The early breakthroughs were just the beginning. As the world began to recognize the importance of renewable energy sources—wind, solar, and hydroelectric power—the need for effective energy storage became even more pressing. Renewable energy production, often intermittent, required reliable methods to store excess energy for times when generation was low. This gave rise to research into more efficient and sustainable battery technologies, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in energy storage.

Healing Hearts and Minds - A...

LCSW Tracy Livecchi, PhD Liza...

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. With great advances in surgery and medicine, however, survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. With better medical care, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but throughout their entire lives they can face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, frequent medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity, in addition to poor public awareness. Much attention has rightly been focused on providing their parents and caretakers with resources and information. 
 
 
 
Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals, especially as they grow, mature, and become adults living with a serious, chronic medical condition. Prevalence rates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are significantly higher (2-3x in some cases) for people living with CHD than the general adult population. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.

Essential guide to the...

Antón Gómez Escolar

In this book you will learn all the basics of psychedelics and why all this research is great news for public health in this century. After a very long and strange journey, psychedelics may finally be back for good.
Rick Doblin, PhD, Founder & Executive Director, MAPS.

In this guide you will learn all the essentials about the history, neuroscience, legality, therapeutic applications and harm reduction of the most promising psychedelic drugs for science. After decades of international prohibition these molecules are returning to laboratories and clinics, hand in hand with the most rigorous science, to revolutionize the way we understand and treat mental health (depression, anxiety, PTSD and addictions).
Discover the world of psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, ketamine and LSD, before society immerses in this revolution, which will forever change the perception we have of psychedelics.
This guide will be of interest to both therapists and other mental health professionals interested in the clinical applications, parents and educators seeking to understand the impact and safety of psychedelics and other drugs, as well as any adult curious to learn about and explore this new world of the psychedelic renaissance.

Hematology - Blood Disorders and...

Ava Westwood

Hematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood disorders. It is a vital field of medicine as blood is essential for the proper functioning of the body. Hematology encompasses a range of topics, including the composition of blood, the process of blood formation, the various types of blood cells, and the disorders that affect the blood. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions such as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, bleeding disorders, and blood clotting issues. 
The primary function of blood is to transport essential nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body. Blood also plays a key role in regulating temperature, maintaining pH balance, and defending the body against infections. Blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, each having a unique function that is integral to overall health. Plasma is the liquid component, primarily made of water, proteins, and dissolved substances, and serves as the medium for carrying cells and other components. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and return carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. White blood cells are crucial for immune defense, protecting the body against pathogens, while platelets are involved in clotting to prevent excessive bleeding. 
The study of hematology is essential because various blood disorders can lead to severe health complications. Disorders such as anemia can result from deficiencies in red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms. Leukemia, a type of cancer affecting the white blood cells, and lymphoma, which affects the lymphatic system, are also common blood-related cancers that require specialized treatment.
