Changes in physical body size during gestation were monitored using 529 sets of sow measurements. All sows were from the same herd and production system with a range in parity from 1 to 8. Sows were individually weighed, P2 backfat thickness was determined by ultrasound and morphometric measurements of body size were taken five times during gestation: day 0 (at service), day 25, day 50, day 80 ...

In this paper, an efficient depth-aware image enhancement system is presented. The depth information and well-known depth-cue relative perception are used to enhance 2D still images or videos. Image enhancement has been developed for decades in a lot of fields. However, conventional approaches deal with images in the 2D(x-y) projective plane. The information of z-axis is not used. In this work,...

This paper considers estimation and inference about tail features such as index extreme quantile when the observations beyond some threshold are censored. Ignoring censoring could lead to substantial bias size distortion, even if censored probability is tiny. We first propose a new maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) based on Pareto approximation derive its asymptotic properties. Then, we an alt...

Abstract Using an intrinsic approach, we study some properties of random fields which appear as tail regularly varying stationary fields. The index set is allowed to be a general locally compact Hausdorff Abelian group $${\mathbb G}$$ G . values are taken in measurable cone, equipped with pseudo norm. We firs...

A single two dimensional (2D) image does not contain depth information. An infinite number of points in the three dimensional (3D) space are projected to the same point in the image plane. But a single 2D image has some monocular depth cues, by which we can make a hypothesis of depth variation in the image to generate a depth map. This paper proposes an interactive method of depth map generatio...

Non-equilibrium evolution of wave fields, as occurring over sudden bathymetry variations, can produce rogue seas with anomalous statistics. We handle this process by modifying the Rayleigh distribution through energetics second-order theory and a non-homogeneous reformulation Khintchine theorem. The resulting probability model reproduces enhanced tail unidirectional tank experiments. It also de...
