This paper describes a novel input-free MOS VT extractor circuit. The circuit consists of a bias voltage block and a novel VT extractor block. The proposed VT extractor block has the advantages of the ground-referenced output, low influence of the nonideality, few numbers of transistors and no influence of the PMOS process. The PSpice simulations show the supply voltage range and the bias voltage range of the proposed circuit are wider than those of Johnson's or Wang's.

This letter proposes an efficient local descriptor for wide-baseline dense matching. It improves the existing Daisy descriptor by combining intensity-based Haar wavelet response with a new color-based ratio model. The color ratio model is invariant to changes of viewing direction, object geometry, and the direction, intensity and spectral power distribution of the illumination. The experiments show that our descriptor has high discriminative power and robustness.
