MOD_FreeSurf2D is an open source MATLAB code that simulates fluid velocities and depths in rivers and streams. Although this model was designed for a specific purpose, MOD_FreeSurf2D can be employed in general scenarios when the depth-averaged, shallow water equations apply. The model approximates the depth-averaged, shallow water equations with a finite volume, semi-implicit, semi-Lagrangian r...

In this work, we present an entirely data-driven approach to estimating the 3D pose of a hand given a depth image. We show that we can correct the mistakes made by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained to predict an estimate of the 3D pose by using a feedback loop of Deep Networks, also utilizing a CNN architecture. Since this approach critically relies on a training set of labeled frame...

Data depth is a modern nonparametric tool for the analysis of multivariate, and recently also functional and general Banach-valued data. The notion of halfspace depth was introduced by Tukey (1975) as a powerful tool for the picturing of multivariate data and exploratory analysis. Two decades later the data depth has start to be developed as a general nonparametric tool for multivariate data. D...

In this paper the recently developed semi-analytic method to solve the free-surface wave interaction with a thin elastic plate is extended to the case of a plate of finite thickness. The method used is based on the reformulation of the differential-integral equation for this problem. The thickness of the plate is chosen such that the elastic behavior of the plate can be described by means of th...

The dock problem (cf. [2], [4, 5]), which is that of understanding the scattering of surface water waves by a thin semi-infinite rigid plate floating on the free surface of water of infinite depth, gives rise to the following mixed boundary value problem, involving Laplace’s equation in two dimensions, with (x, y) representing the rectangular Cartesian coordinates, assuming linearised theory of...

This paper presents a stereo image matching system that takes advantage of a global image matching method. The system is designed to provide depth information for mobile robotic applications. Typical tasks of the proposed system are to assist in obstacle avoidance, SLAM and path planning. Mobile robots pose strong requirements about size, energy consumption, reliability and output quality of th...

Let A be a Banach algebra and X a Banach A-bimodule, the derivation D : A → X is semi-inner if there are ξ, μ ∈ X such that D(a) = a.ξ − μ.a, (a ∈ A). A is called semi-amenable if every derivation D : A → X∗ is semi-inner. The dual Banach algebra A is Connes semi-amenable (resp. approximately semi-amenable) if, every D ∈ Z1w _ (A,X), for each normal, dual Banach A-bimodule X, is semi -inner (re...

the depth control systems used in iranian tractors are mechanical and they produce variable tillage depth in uneven field surface. in this research a rotary type electronic control valve was designed and constructed. by using this valve, electro-hydraulic tillage depth control system was developed and installed on the tractor. the control system was composed of: a depth sensor, a programmable l...

In this project I am focused on the problem of using depth information in the absence of labeled depth training data for the task of object detection in RGBz images. This task is important for computers to fully utilize both the breadth of image training data that does not include depth sensors while allowing depth-enabled systems to utilize the valuable added information provided by a depth se...
