Refugee (Jim Kerr song)

"Refugee" is the first track released from Simple Minds founding member and vocalist Jim Kerr's first solo album Lostboy! AKA Jim Kerr in early 2010, although "Shadowland" was the first official single release from the project. According to Jim Kerr the track was written three years earlier but never had been properly arranged before producer Jez Coad started to work on the song. A short, instrumental edit of the first opening bars could be heard on the first incarnation of the Lostboy! AKA website, the same snippet was also being used by Sky Sports as the theme for their live broadcast of the Scotland football game on March 4, 2010. The album version of the track "Refugee" was exclusively premiered on Billy Sloan's radio show of the March 7, 2010, along with an exclusive remix by Simon Hayward. Both of these tracks were then added to the Lostboy! AKA YouTube Channel. A week later (March 16t, 2010), the full album version of "Refugee" was made available as a download from the initial www.lostboyaka.com website as a "thank you" to fans.

Refugee (Refugee album)

Refugee is the self-titled and only album of progressive rock group Refugee. The album was originally issued on Charisma Records in March 1974. It was re-released under the TimeWave label on 27 June 2006. A live album Refugee Live in Concert. Newcastle City Hall 1974 was issued in 2007, on Voiceprint Records, containing two songs from the era of Lee Jackson and Brian Davison's earlier band The Nice, "The Diamond Hard Blue Apples of the Moon" and the Bob Dylan song "She Belongs to Me", as well as songs from this album.

The title of the track "Ritt Mickley" originated from Moraz's strong French Swiss accent when he asked other band members to play the track again but more rhythmically.

Background

When Keith Emerson left The Nice to form another band, with Greg Lake and Carl Palmer, Lee Jackson and Brian Davison found themselves on their own, so they went their separate ways, Davison formed Brian Davison's Every Which Way and Lee formed Jackson Heights. After recording their fourth album Bump 'n' Grind, in 1973, Jackson approached Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz and asked him if he would be interested in joining his band. Moraz refused, but proposed instead that they form another band. Jackson then called in his old band-mate from The Nice, Davison to join on drums, and Refugee was born.

Image registration

Image registration is the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system. Data may be multiple photographs, data from different sensors, times, depths, or viewpoints. It is used in computer vision, medical imaging, biological imaging and brain mapping, military automatic target recognition, and compiling and analyzing images and data from satellites. Registration is necessary in order to be able to compare or integrate the data obtained from these different measurements.

Algorithm classification

Intensity-based vs feature-based

Image registration or image alignment algorithms can be classified into intensity-based and feature-based. One of the images is referred to as the reference or source and the others are respectively referred to as the target, sensed or subject images. Image registration involves spatially registering the target image(s) to align with the reference image. Intensity-based methods compare intensity patterns in images via correlation metrics, while feature-based methods find correspondence between image features such as points, lines, and contours. Intensity-based methods register entire images or sub-images. If sub-images are registered, centers of corresponding sub images are treated as corresponding feature points. Feature-based methods establish a correspondence between a number of especially distinct points in images. Knowing the correspondence between a number of points in images, a geometrical transformation is then determined to map the target image to the reference images, thereby establishing point-by-point correspondence between the reference and target images.

Arabian horse

The Arabian or Arab horse (Arabic: الحصان العربي ‎ [ ħisˤaːn ʕarabiː], DMG ḥiṣān ʿarabī) is a breed of horse that originated on the Arabian Peninsula. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world. It is also one of the oldest breeds, with archaeological evidence of horses in the Middle East that resemble modern Arabians dating back 4,500 years. Throughout history, Arabian horses have spread around the world by both war and trade, used to improve other breeds by adding speed, refinement, endurance, and strong bone. Today, Arabian bloodlines are found in almost every modern breed of riding horse.

The Arabian developed in a desert climate and was prized by the nomadic Bedouin people, often being brought inside the family tent for shelter and protection from theft. Selective breeding for traits including an ability to form a cooperative relationship with humans created a horse breed that is good-natured, quick to learn, and willing to please. The Arabian also developed the high spirit and alertness needed in a horse used for raiding and war. This combination of willingness and sensitivity requires modern Arabian horse owners to handle their horses with competence and respect.
