Tracking multi-object under occlusion is a challenging task. When occlusion happens, only the visible part of occluded object can provide reliable information for the matching. In conventional algorithms, the deducing of the occlusion relationship is needed to derive the visible part. However deducing the occlusion relationship is difficult. The interdetermined effect between the occlusion rela...

Structural elements, such as stiffened panels, are designed by combining material strength data obtained from coupon tests with a failure theory for 3D stress field. Material variability is captured by dozens of coupon tests, but there remains epistemic uncertainty due to error in the failure theory, which can be reduced by element tests. Conservativeness to compensate for the uncertainty in fa...

This is a preliminary version of visual interpretation integrating multiple sensors in SUCCESSOR, an intelligent, model-based vision system. We pursue a thorough integration of hierarchical Bayesian inference with comprehensive physical representation of objects and their relations in a system for reasoning with geometry, surface materials and sensor models in machine vision. Bayesian inference...

conclusions this study provides support for the hypothesis that humans are probably infected after contact with swine sources. the findings emphasize the importance of checking the country of origin of swine and of improving sanitary control measures from the veterinary standpoint to prevent the spread of hev infection in italy. materials and methods a total of 327 hev sequences of swine and hu...

Adaptive testing is impractical in real world situations where many diierent learner traits need to be measured in a single test. Recent student modelling approaches have attempted to solve this problem using diierent course representations along with sound knowledge propagation schemes. This paper shows that these diierent representations can be merged together and realized in a granularity hi...
