Perspective cues play an important role in painting analysis as it may unveil important characteristics about the painter’stechniques and creation process. Nevertheless, extracting perspective lines and their corresponding vanishing points is usuallya laborious manual task. Moreover, small variations in the lines may lead to large variations in the...
Physiological response to physical exercise through analysis of cardiopulmonary measurements has been shown to be predictive of a variety of diseases. Nonetheless, the clinical use of exercise testing remains limited because interpretation of test results requires experience and specialized training. Additionally, until this work no methods have id...
Abstract: Trophic analysis exposes the underlying hierarchies present in large complex systems. This allows one to use data to diagnose the sources, propagation paths, and basins of influence of shocks or information among variables or agents, which may be utilised to analyse dynamics in social, economic and historical data sets. Often, the analysi...
Objectives: Current strategies for locating where offenders live either focus exclusively on individual suspects or generalize to entire neighborhoods. However, better estimates of where offenders are located may improve models of the ecological distribution of crime, and forecasts of the locations of future crime incidents. Methods: We propose a n...

Boundaries at different scales or in different cultural contexts vary in permeability, fuzziness, and continuity. The contribution of methods from the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) toolbox used in archaeology for the understanding of boundaries is explored in a case study based on known boundaries that are located in a hilly region east of...
This paper proposes an approach to analyze the impact of multimodal Public Transit (PT), combining conventional fixed-route transit and Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT), on equality in transport accessibility distribution. We construct a graph model of multimodal PT in Neo4j, based on General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data, modeling DRT anal...
In carpooling systems, a set of drivers owning a private car can accept a small detour to pick-up and drop-off other riders. However, carpooling is widely used for long-distance trips, where rider-driver matching can be done days ahead. Making carpooling a viable option for daily commute is more challenging, as trips are shorter and, proportionally...
We describe the workflow followed by historians when conducting a Historical Social Network Analysis (HSNA) with five steps: textual sources acquisition, digitization, annotation, network creation, and analysis/visualization. While most analysis and visualization tools only support the last step, we argue that addressing the 2-3 last steps would bo...

Rapid progress in digitisation and computer techniques have enabled noteworthy new pottery analysis applications in recent decades. We focus on analytical techniques directed specifically at archaeological pottery research in this survey and review the specific benefits these have brought in the field. We consider techniques based on heterogeneous ...
