In this paper we make the first effort, to the best of our knowledge, to combine multiple face landmark datasets with different landmark definitions into a super dataset, with a union of all landmark types computed in each image as output. Our approach is flexible, and our system can optionally use known landmarks in the target dataset to constrain the localization. Our novel pipeline is built ...

Self-localization is important in almost all robotic tasks. For playing an aesthetic and effective game of robotic soccer, self-localization is a necessary prerequisite. When we designed our robotic soccer team for participating in robotic soccer competitions, it turned out that all existing approaches did not meet our requirements of being fast, accurate, and robust. For this reason, we develo...

This article targets the task of language-based video moment localization. The setting this allows for an open set target activities, resulting in a large variation temporal lengths moments. Most existing methods prefer to first sample sufficient candidate moments with various lengths, then match them given query determine moment. However, generated fixed granularity may be suboptimal handle le...

Two major themes of our research include the creation of mobile robot systems that are robust and adaptive in rapidly changing environments, and the view of integration as a basic research issue. Where reasonable, we try to use the same representations to allow different components to work more readily together and to allow better and more natural integration of and communication between these ...

Market Realities The need for rapid localization of products is undoubtedly the major reason for the sudden and increasing interest in machine translation and related technology. In the past five years localization has evolved to the point where it is essential for all products sold outside the home country. Delays due to translation times were once acceptable when they amounted to months; now ...

Whenever a visual image moves across the retina, the brain is faced with a dilemma: Did the image move because an object in the environment (or the environment itself) changed location or because the eyes changed location with respect to a stable environment? If the brain compares the retinal positions of individual objects within the visual image and finds that only one moved with respect to t...

The interactions of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) with the environment are very difficult to be modeled, inducing significant errors in RSSI-range models and highly disturbing target localization and tracking methods. Some techniques adopt a training-based approach in which they off-line learn the RSSI-range characteristics of the environment in a prior training phase. However, the ...

A b s t r a c t To relieve damages of earthquake disaster, " The Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in Urban Areas " have been kicked off in Japan. Our researcb group is a part of the sub-project " modeling of disaster environment for search and rescue " since 2002. In this project, our group aims to develop a three-dimensional mapping's algorithm that is installed in a mobile r...

AbstractHydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormEchinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. It was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...
