Face completion aims to generate semantically new pixels for missing facial components. It is a challenging generative task due to large variations of face appearance. This paper studies generative face completion under structured occlusions. We treat the face completion and corruption as disentangling and fusing processes of clean faces and occlusions, and propose a jointly disentangling and f...

In this paper a procedure which filters out roughly half of the array manifold errors for approximately centro-symmetric arrays is described. The procedure-subspace domain forwards-backwards (f/b) averaging-improves the performance of subspace based direction finding (DF) algorithms such as MUSIC and ESPRIT. Experimental data from the Mountaintop system are used to confirm the theoretical results.

To improve the quality of the mobile reception of DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting on Terrestrial networks) signal, the knowledge of the propagation channel characteristics is necessary. In this aim, this paper presents sounding methods and results for the estimation of Direction of Arrival (DoA) of DVB-T signals in mobile receiving configuration. The mobile passive sounder is presented, inclu...

We are living in a world where there is an increasing need for evidence in organizations. Good digital evidence is becoming a business enabler. Very few organizations have the structures (management and infrastructure) in place to enable them to conduct cost effective, low-impact and efficient digital investigations (Sommer, 2005). Digital Forensics (DF) is a vehicle that organizations use to p...

Given a transversely projective foliation F on a C∞ manifold M and a nonnegative integer k, a transversal differential operator DF (2k + 1) of order 2k + 1 from N⊗k to N⊗(−k−1) is constructed, where N denotes the normal bundle for the foliation. There is a natural homomorphism from the space of all infinitesimal deformations of the transversely projective foliation F to the first cohomology of ...

A short Polish phrase was spoken by aphonetician with 8 different intonations, and these Prototypes were imitated 10 times each by 15 speakers. Each of the 1200 u t terances was represen ted as a -vector in an 8-D space. 8 quadratic and 8 linear discriminant functions (DFs) were calculated for each of the 1200 utterance-vectors. The DF with the highest value indica ted the assignment of the tok...
