BRIFT: A Binary Descriptor for Multi-Modal Image Registration

Using radiation-variation insensitivity feature transform (RIFT) to calculate Bed Pans feature descriptors and perform feature matching on the maximum index map (MIM) is time-consuming.To solve this problem, an algorithm named binary descriptor for RIFT (BRIFT) is proposed.First, the phase consistency of the image is calculated and the MIM is obtai

Consistent pattern of epidemic slowing across many geographies led to longer, flatter initial waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To define appropriate planning scenarios for future pandemics of respiratory pathogens, it is important to understand the initial transmission dynamics of COVID-19 during 2020.Here, we fit an age-stratified compartmental model with a flexible underlying transmission term to daily COVID-19 death data from states in the contiguous U.S.and to national
