RANSAC can only estimate one model for a particular data set. As for any one-model approach when two (or more) model instances exist, RANSAC may fail to find either one. The Hough transform is one alternative robust estimation technique that may be useful when more than one model instance is present.
The Hough transform as it is universally used today was invented by Richard Duda and Peter Hart in 1972, who called it a "generalized Hough transform" [3] after the related 1962 patent of Paul Hough. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The transform was popularized in the computer vision community by Dana H. Ballard through a 1981 journal article titled " Generalizing ...
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...
About half of the women in a recent study on IUD placement and pain reported “intense” pain at placement, and another 47 percent reported light or moderate pain. Only 2.5 percent reported no pain.
All forms of spinal cord stimulation have been shown to have varying degrees of efficacy to address a variety of pharmacoresistant neuropathic or mixed (neuropathic and noiciceptive) pain syndromes such as post-laminectomy syndrome, low back pain, complex regional pain syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease and angina.

Neurostimulation technology can improve the life quality of those who are severely paralyzed or have profound losses to various sense organs, as well as for permanent reduction of severe, chronic pain which would otherwise require constant (around-the-clock), high-dose opioid therapy (such as neuropathic pain and spinal-cord injury).
Stem Cell Therapy To Correct Heart Failure In Children Could 'Transform Lives' 2. "Cardiac critical care has transformed into its own discipline, but remains largely reactive to treating patients ...
Light therapy is preferred over antidepressants in the treatment of SAD because it is a relatively safe and easy therapy. [20] Two methods of light therapy, bright light and dawn simulation, have similar success rates in the treatment of SAD. [21] It is possible that response to light therapy for SAD could be season dependent. [22]
