AbstractThis paper studies the task of conditional Human Motion Animation (cHMA). Given a source image and driving video, model should animate new frame sequence, in which person perform similar motion as pose sequence from video. Despite success Generative Adversarial Network (GANs) methods video synthesis, it is still very challenging to conduct cHMA due difficulty efficiently utilizing guide...

A comprehensive and critical review of literature pertaining to the study of planing craft is given within this work. This study includes monohull design, analysis and performance prediction for flat water; many features of the planing characteristics, including dynamic stability, the use of stepped hullforms, re-entrant transoms and flow characteristics are detailed. Work on the rough water se...

The various types of traditional craft work being organic origin attack microorganisms due to the carbohydrate content in it. Biological degradation affect the usage, strength utility and value of the products leading to decay and disintegration, splits or cracks, unsightly strains and blotches. So it is essential to treat the raw material and finished products to extend durability and prolong ...
