THE TORNADO APPEARANCES; LIEUT. FINLEY'S VIEWS

Learning People’s Appearances from Multiple Views

In this document, a system for recognizing persons in images is proposed. It is based on learning the outer appearance of a person from image sequences. In order to accomplish this, a statistical model of every person, we want to recognize, is being learnt. Positive training data is acquired by using a distributed camera network. Video data is labeled automatically to minimize user interaction....

Statistical Models for Tornado Climatology: Long and Short-Term Views

This paper estimates regional tornado risk from records of past events using statistical models. First, a spatial model is fit to the tornado counts aggregated in counties with terms that control for changes in observational practices over time. Results provide a long-term view of risk that delineates the main tornado corridors in the United States where the expected annual rate exceeds two tor...
