Shape recognition and pose estimation for mobile Augmented Reality.

Nestor is a real-time recognition and camera pose estimation system for planar shapes. The system allows shapes that carry contextual meanings for humans to be used as Augmented Reality (AR) tracking targets. The user can teach the system new shapes in real time.

STR2: a structure to string approach for locating G-box riboswitch shapes in pre-selected genes.

Traditional sequence-based search methods such as BLAST and FASTA can be used to identify sequence similarities. Recently, there is a growing interest in performing RNA shape similarity searches inside selected genes to locate RNA structure motifs that are known to possess functionally important roles. For example, in the newly discovered RNA genetic control elements called "riboswitches", the box domain is known to be highly conserved among various bacterial species in both its nucleotide composition and shape.
