Measuring and increasing the capacity of Natural HOG Statistics
Just when the question of what is the best method for sliding window object detection was thought to be settled (linear SVM on groups of HOG features), several recent papers have suddenly made the story a lot murkier. In this unusual paper (more typical of the natural sciences than computer science), we explore one recent, surprising work – Hariharan et al. [7] – and try to understand it better...
متن کاملDistribution of Flodman's Thistle and Its Response to Different Disturbances
The importance of disturbance in prairie has long been recognized. Increasingly interest and research have focused on the action and interaction of multiple disturbances. The distribution of Flodman's thistle [Cirsiumflodmanii (Rydb.) Arthur] on ant mounds, badger mounds, buffalo wallows, and potholes and in a lightly and a moderately grazed pasture was compared at the Nature Conservancy's S. H...
متن کاملVogt: 3D Characteristics of Fire Ant Mounds 553 THREE-DIMENSIONAL SAMPLING METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING ANT MOUNDS
A field-portable 3D laser scanner was employed as a means of digitizing the surface of fire ant ( Solenopsis invicta Buren) mounds for analysis of shape and orientation in Mississippi and Oklahoma. Estimates of above-ground mound volume obtained through manual measurements of mound length, width, and height were higher and more variable than estimates obtained by summing the area underneath int...
متن کاملElk use of wallows and potential chronic wasting disease transmission.
Deposition of prions into the environment by infected animals may contribute to transmission and spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) among free-ranging cervids, and identification of such environmental sources may provide an avenue for managing CWD. We evaluated the role that wallow use by elk (Cervus elaphus) may play in CWD transmission by monitoring wallows with animal-activated cameras ...
متن کاملSolar-powered ventilation of African termite mounds.
How termite mounds function to facilitate climate control is still only partially understood. Recent experimental evidence in the mounds of a single species, the south Asian termite Odontotermes obesus, suggests that the daily oscillations of radiant heating associated with diurnal insolation patterns drive convective flow within them. How general this mechanism is remains unknown. To probe thi...
