The Evolution of First Person Vision Methods: A Survey
The emergence of new wearable technologies such as action cameras and
smart-glasses has increased the interest of computer vision scientists in the
First Person perspective. Nowadays, this field is attracting attention and
investments of companies aiming to develop commercial devices with First Person
Vision recording capabilities. Due to this interest, an increasing demand of
methods to process these videos, possibly in real-time, is expected. Current
approaches present a particular combinations of different image features and
quantitative methods to accomplish specific objectives like object detection,
activity recognition, user machine interaction and so on. This paper summarizes
the evolution of the state of the art in First Person Vision video analysis
between 1997 and 2014, highlighting, among others, most commonly used features,
methods, challenges and opportunities within the field.Comment: First Person Vision, Egocentric Vision, Wearable Devices, Smart

Unraveling the Thousand Word Picture: An Introduction to Super-Resolution Data Analysis
Super-resolution microscopy provides direct insight into fundamental biological processes occurring at length scales smaller than light’s diffraction limit. The analysis of data at such scales has brought statistical and machine learning methods into the mainstream. Here we provide a survey of data analysis methods starting from an overview of basic statistical techniques underlying the analysis of super-resolution and, more broadly, imaging data. We subsequently break down the analysis of super-resolution data into four problems: the localization problem, the counting problem, the linking problem, and what we’ve termed the interpretation problem
IDENTIFICATION OF TEMPORAL DYNAMICS IN BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES
The behavior and dynamics of complex systems are the focus of many research fields. The complexity of such systems comes not only from the number of their
elements, but also from the unavoidable emergence of new properties of the system,
which are not just a simple summation of the properties of its elements. The behavior
of dynamic complex systems relates to a number of well developed models, the
majority of which do not incorporate the modularity and the evolutionary dynamics
of a system simultaneously. In this work, we deploy a Bayesian model that addresses
this issue. Our model has been developed within the Random Finite Set Theory's
framework. We introduced the stochastic evolution diagram as a novel mathematical
tool to describe the evolutionary dynamics of complex modular systems. It has been
shown how it could be used in real world applications. We have extended the idea
of Bayesian network for non-stationary dynamic systems by defining a new concept
"labeled-edge Bayesian network" and providing a Bayesian Dirichlet (BD) metric as
its score function
