In recent years, many methods have been put forward to improve the image matching for different viewpoint images. However, these methods are still not able to achieve stable results, especially when large variation in view occurs. In this paper, an image matching method based on affine transformation of local image areas is proposed. First, local stable regions are extracted from the reference image and the test image, and transformed to circular areas according to the second-order moment. Then, scale invariant features are detected and matched in the transformed regions. Finally, we use epipolar constraint based on the fundamental matrix to eliminate wrong corresponding pairs. The goal of our method is not to increase the invariance of the detector but to improve the final performance of the matching results. The experimental results demonstrate that compared with the traditional detectors the proposed method provides significant improvement in robustness for different viewpoint images matching in the 2D scene and 3D scene. Moreover, the efficiency is greatly improved compared with affine scale invariant feature transform (Affine-SIFT).

Objective: One technique for tailoring interventions and matching evidence-based procedures to idiographic problems is just-in-time adaptive approaches, also referred to as ecological momentary intervention. These technology-based approaches involve real-time delivery of evidence-based skills when most needed, which can be tailored to individual data inputs. The current article reviews just-in-time adaptive ecological momentary assessment (JITA-EMA; Schneider et al.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are increasingly relied upon to provide intensive mental health treatment for youth with acute and severely impairing mental health symptoms, yet very few interventions have been adapted to fit this unique delivery context. Transdiagnostic treatments hold promise for addressing the complex clinical presentations and workflow needs of PHP programs, but more work is needed to understand factors that influence successful implementation. We conducted a formative implementation process evaluation to identify barriers and facilitators of acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of implementing an evidence-based transdiagnostic intervention in a PHP setting and further targets for intervention and implementation adaptation.

The human visual system possesses a remarkable ability to detect and process faces across diverse contexts, including the phenomenon of face pareidolia--seeing faces in inanimate objects. Despite extensive research, it remains unclear why the visual system employs such broadly tuned face detection capabilities. We hypothesized that face pareidolia results from the visual system's optimization for recognizing both faces and objects.
