New products have a protected distinctiveness which is doomed to progressive degeneration from competitive inroads.
Torsello et al. [37] proposed a sampling technique to select feature points with high-local distinctiveness, which is inversely proportional to the average local radius of curvature and related to the area formed by similar points in the neighbourhood of each point.
By equalizing the blur level, a high degree of invariance can be achieved without losing too much distinctiveness, which is of high relevance for practical usage.
The team then looked at each species' evolutionary distinctiveness (ED) and evolutionary distinctiveness rarity (ED rarity), which is a measure that combines distinctiveness with the size of a species' global range.
These findings demonstrate that the strength of response is related to signal similarity, which is potentially an important underlying mechanism shaping distinctiveness in signal design.
Marketing has a crucial role to play in identifying and promoting the distinctiveness of particular higher education institutions – which is vital in a more competitive marketplace.
Our analysis is more aligned with the latter approach, but is one that combines molecular and morphological aspects of diversity rather than relying on a single measure of distinctiveness (e.g., Bush and Adams 2007) which is akin to the idea of using character concordance to identify conservation units (e.g., Grady and Quattro 1999).
It is a calendar custom invented from scratch by two environment campaigners, Sue Clifford and Angela King, who together founded Common Ground, a charity devoted to a quality which is dear to many people but had never been articulated before: local distinctiveness.
In the context of computer vision, each landmark is detected as a local extremum of a measure of distinctiveness and represented by an appearance-based encoding which is exploited for matching.
In view of the historic distinctiveness of a conspiracy from the substantive offense which is its object, we held that Congress had made allowable consecutive sentences under the applicable statute.
