Abstract Background The biosynthesis of aflatoxin (AF) involves over 20 enzymatic reactions in a complex polyketide pathway that converts acetate and malonate to the intermediates sterigmatocystin (ST) and O-methylsterigmatocystin (OMST), the respective penultimate and ultimate precursors of AF.Although these precursors are chemically and structura
Feature matching via local descriptors is one of the most fundamental problems in many computer vision tasks, as well as in the remote sensing image processing community.For example, in terms of remote sensing image registration based on the feature, feature matching is a vital process to determine the quality of transform model.While in the proces
