This paper studies the usefulness of the projective approach to structure from motion (SFM). We conduct an essentially algorithm{independent experimental comparison of projective versus Euclidean reconstruction. Our results show that Euclidean reconstruction is essentially as accurate as pro-jective reconstruction, even with signiicant calibration error and for the pure projective structure. Th...

In recent years, the research field on smart environments, which are spaces with multiple embedded and networked sensors and actuators, has been expanding (Cook & Das, 2004). The main purpose for the introduction of smart environments is to support humans in both physical and informative ways (Johanson et al., 2002), (Mynatt et al., 2004), (Mizoguchi et al., 1999). In smart environments, the di...

We provide a survey of recent results on model calibration by Optimal Transport. present the general framework and then discuss local, local-stochastic, volatility models to European options, joint VIX/SPX problem as well some path-dependent options. explain numerical algorithms examples both synthetic market data.

The development of NIRS calibration model as a rapid, precise, robust, and cost-effective method to estimate oil content in ground seeds of worldwide safflower germplasm collection grown under different agro-climatic conditions was the key objective of this research project. The oil content was measured by accelerated solvent extraction method in a total of 328 samples collected across 2004 (16...

accurate delivery of torque to implant screws is critical to generate ideal preload in the screw joint and to offer protection against screw loosening. mechanical torque-limiting devices (mtlds) are available for this reason. in this study, the accuracy of one type of friction-style and two types of spring-style mtlds at baseline, following fatigue conditions and sterilization processes were de...

The calibration of natural aquifer model parameters in real world cases is a challenging goal that requires a careful tuning work, whose complexity increases with the number of available data. Paradoxically, instead of making easier the subsurface model numerical assessment, a high spatial density of data highlights the local scale heterogeneity effects, complicating the calibration procedure w...

Time domain reflectometry (TDR) measurements of the volumetric water content (θ) soils are based on dielectric permittivity (ε), relating ε to θ, using an empirical calibration function. Accurate determination θ for peaty is vital but complicated by complexity organic and lack a general model. Site-specific models were developed determine from TDR heterogenous peatland across gradients peat dec...
