FDG-PET-positive lower-extremity sebaceous-gland carcinoma in a patient with Muir-Torre syndrome

Sebaceous-gland carcinoma can occur alone or as one of the defining features of the Muir-Torre syndrome. Cases occurring below the head and neck are extremely rare. Here we describe the case of a 70-year-old male with Muir-Torre syndrome who had a recurrent sebaceous-gland carcinoma in the left lower extremity that demonstrated 18F-FDG avidity. An 18F-FDG-avid lower-extremity sebaceous-gland carcinoma has not been previously reported

Saliency Weighted Features for Person Re-Identification

In this work we propose a novel person re-identification approach. The solution, inspired by human gazing capabilities, wants to identify the salient regions of a given person. Such regions are used as a weighting tool in the image feature extraction process. Then, such novel representation is combined with a set of other visual features in a pairwise-based multiple metric learning framework. Finally, the learned metrics are fused to get the distance between image pairs and to reidentify a person. The proposed method is evaluated on three different benchmark datasets and compared with best state-of-the-art approaches to show its overall superior performance
