In the portrait matting domain, existing methods rely entirely on annotated images for learning. However, delicate manual annotations are time-consuming and there few detailed datasets available. To reduce complete dependency labeled datasets, we design a semi-supervised network (ASSN) with two kinds of innovative adaptive strategies matting. Three pivotal sub-modules embedded in our architectu...

Within the past decade there have been several investigations attempting to define the impact of exogenous and endogenous carbon monoxide exposure on hemostasis. Critically, two bodies of literature have emerged, with carbon monoxide mediated platelet inhibition cited as a cause of in vitro human and in vitro/in vivo rodent anticoagulation. In contrast, interaction with heme groups associated w...

Depth map estimation is a prerequisite for useful plenoptic rendering algorithms, such as all-in-focus rendering and depth-based matting. We provide a simple GPU-based algorithm that estimates the depth of each pixel in the rendered image as well as the uncertainty of that estimate. We perform several rendering experiments using depth information. Finally, explore what factors harm the accuracy...

The skin abrasion and subsequent infection of wounds and joints are very frequent in piglets in farrowing pens on commercial farms. The disinfectant with glycerine content used after farrowing created oil film on plastic grates and piglets slid back on this smooth surface. The reduction of thoracic limbs injury was noted after deletion of disinfection (P<0.01). Covering of slippery grates by pl...

Environment matting is a powerful technique for modelling the complex light-transport properties of real-world optically active elements: transparent, refractive and reflective objects. Zongker et al [1999] and Chuang et al [2000] show how environment mattes can be computed for real objects under carefully controlled laboratory conditions. However, for many objects of interest, such calibration...
