Abstract The advancement of earthquake seismology brings a new insight into earthquake detection. Advanced signal processing by implementing sliding-window mathematical techniques of cross-correlation into data stream are able to recognize low amplitude earthquake signals even under the presence of noise. Clear detection of the onset of low amplitude seismic waves is crucial, however they often hidden by larger amplitudes of coda waves after the generation of mainshock event. By performing template matching algorithm we found a detail temporal variation of seismicity related to Mw 6.6 Ambon earthquake. In comparison, the detection level is up to eight times from conventional method. The method also reveals a seismic migration before the main event coincide with the direction of local tectonic movement derived from previous GPS analysis. Since the method able to detect the earthquake within their family, it gives a reasonably significant improvement to virtual stress-meter analysis. Highly accumulated stress preceding the main event depicted by b-value drop are clearly mapped in a high confidence level.

Segmentation of optical disk (OD) and blood vessel is one of the significant steps in automatic diabetic retinopathy (DR) detecting. In this paper, a new technique is presented for OD segmentation that depends on the histogram template matching algorithm and OD size. In addition, Kirsch method is used for Blood Vessel (BV) segmentation which is one of the popular methods in the edge detection and image processing technique. The template matching algorithm is used for finding the center of the OD. In this step, the histogram of each RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) planes are founded and then the cross-correlation is founded between the template and the original image, OD location is the point with maximum cross-correlation between them. The OD size varies according to the camera field of sight and the resolution of the original image. The rectangle size of OD is not the same for various databases, the estimated size for DRIVE, STARE, DIARTDB0, and DIARTDB1 are 80×80, 140×140, 190×190, and 190×190 respectively. After finding the OD center and rectangle size of OD, a binary mask is created with Region of Interest (ROI) for segmenting the OD. The DIARTDB0 is used to evaluate the proposed technique, the result is robust and vital with an accuracy of 96%.

Among the qualities that distinguish dance from other types of human behavior and interaction are the creation and breaking of synchrony and symmetry. The combination of symmetry and synchrony can provide complex interactions. For example, two dancers might make very different movements, slowing each time the other sped up: a mirror symmetry of velocity. Examining patterns of synchrony and symmetry can provide insight into both the artistic nature of the dance, and the nature of the perceptions and responses of the dancers. However, such complex symmetries are often difficult to quantify. This paper presents three methods – Generalized Local Linear Approximation, Time-lagged Autocorrelation, and Windowed Cross-correlation – for the exploration of symmetry and synchrony in motion-capture data as is it applied to dance and illustrate these with examples from a study of free-form dance. Combined, these techniques provide powerful tools for the examination of the structure of symmetry and synchrony in dance.
