Abstract: Identification of ships from camera images is performed by computing sets of reference silhouette images for respective reference ships for use to match the reference silhouette images with a camera image of an unidentified ship. A computer forms the set of the reference silhouette images for a reference ship is performed automatically by a processing system on the basis of at least one silhouette image of the respective reference ship. The computer generates a three dimensional model of the reference ship that represents distances of an outer surface of the reference ship to a plane on which the captured silhouette image has been mapped, the three dimensional model representing the distances as a function of position in said plane. A deck line of the reference ship is detected based on the camera image. The represented distances to the outer surface are set and/or adapted dependent on position in said plane relative to the detected deck line.

Abstract: The invention provides a new enteroviral species call EV79, and functional parts, derivatives and analogues of said virus. Proteinaceous molecules capable of specifically binding EV79, such as isolated or recombinant antibodies, are also herewith provided. A virus and/or proteinaceous molecule of the invention is particularly suitable for diagnosis of an EV79 related disease. Vaccines, pharmaceutical compositions and diagnostic kits comprising said virus or proteinaceous molecule are also provided, as well as methods for producing same. A diagnostic kit of the invention may as well comprise a primer/probe capable of amplifying and/or hybridizing the genome or part thereof of EV79.
