In this paper, we present a system to redistribute computational power in plane sweeping. Plane sweeping allows the generation of novel viewpoints of a scene by testing different depth hypotheses across input cameras. Typical plane sweeping approaches incorporate a uniform depth plane distribution to investigate different depth hypotheses to generate a depth map. When the scene consists of a sp...

The pyridine-rich complex [NiII(LN2Py3)(MeCN)](ClO4)2 (1) acts as an efficient electro- and photocatalyst in the generation of H2 from water. Observed TONs reach 1050 for electrocatalysis and a remarkable 3500 for photocatalysis. Experimental and DFT data support the ligand-reduced [NiIL˙] as the catalytically active species, contrasting with the [CoIL] observed for cobalt catalysts.

A monochromatic millimeter-wave imaging system coupled with an infrared temperature sensor has been used to investigate historic objects preserved at the Museum of Aquitaine (France). In particular, two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses have been performed in order to reveal the internal structure of nearly 3500-year-old sealed Egyptian jars.

During a 12 month period all New Zealand newborns were screened for cystic fibrosis using the Crossley test. Of 49 056 babies tested 522 had a raised blood immunoreactive trypsin level and follow-up testing indicated 19 persistent elevations. Clinical and laboratory studies indicated 14 cases of cystic fibrosis giving an apparent incidence of 1:3500.

Present work demonstrates high speed friction stir welding (HSFSW) of light weight battery trays assembly in electric vehicle (EV). Despite solid-state and green nature FSW, it suffers from the relatively low speed. With help suitable tool design machine parameters, we successfully achieved defect-free welds at 4.0 4.5 m/min. Good quality are produced 3 mm thick AA6063-T6 extruded aluminium all...

We prospectively recorded all in-hospital complications of the first 3500 consecutive patients to undergo elective coronary angioplasty (PTCA) at Emory University Hospitals from July 14, 1980, to August 28, 1984, by three operators. PTCA was attempted in a total of 3933 lesions, with a primary success rate of 91%. Multiple-lesion PTCA was performed in 401 patients, and PTCA of saphenous vein gr...

We examined the influence of prior time-trials performed at different altitudes on subsequent exercise in moderate hypoxia and associated cardiometabolic and neuromuscular responses. In normobaric hypoxia (simulated altitude 2000 m; FiO2: 0.163), 10 healthy males performed (1) an incremental test to exhaustion (VO2max_2000) and (2) a test to exhaustion at 80% of the power output associated to V...

Multiview video in “texture-plus-depth” format enables decoder to synthesize freely chosen intermediate views for enhanced visual experience. Nevertheless, transmission of multiple texture and depth maps over bandwidthconstrained and loss-prone networks is challenging, especially for conferencing applications with stringent deadlines. In this paper, we examine the problem of loss-resilient codi...

Following another person's gaze in order to achieve joint attention is an important skill in human social interactions. This work analyzes geometric aspects of the gaze following problem and proposes a learning-based computational model for the emergence of gaze following skills in infants. The model acquires advanced gaze following skills by learning associations between caregiver head poses a...
