This paper describes a robust on-line appearance modeling and tracking method, based on Simultaneous Modeling and Tracking (SMAT). The appearance model is defined by a series of clusters, built in a video sequence using previously encountered samples. This model is used to search for the corresponding element in the following frames. Three alternative incremental clustering methods are proposed...

Direct Energy Deposition (DED), as one common type of additive manufacturing, is capable fabricating metallic components close to net-shape with complex geometry. Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) an advanced surface technology which able yield a nanostructured layer characterized by compressive residual stresses and work hardening, thereby improving the fatigue performances specime...

It is an important and intriguing issue to know the quantitative similarity of large software systems. In this paper, a similarity metric between two sets of source code files based on the correspondence of overall source code lines is proposed. A Software similarity MeAsurement Tool SMAT was developed and applied to various versions of an operating system(BSD UNIX OS). The resulting similarity...

Ambient and cryogenic surface mechanical attrition treatments (SMAT) are applied to bcc iron plate. Both processes result in significant surface grain refinement down to the ultrafine-grained regime; the cryogenic treatment results in a 45% greater grain size reduction. However, the refined region is shallower in the cryogenic SMAT process. The tensile ductility of the grain size gradient remai...

Abstract In this study, two different types of heterogeneous structures were prepared by controlling surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) time (5 s, 10 30 60 s). The effect Cu with bimodal grain size structure (BGSS) and gradient (GS) on deformation induced (HDI) stress properties was investigated systematically. By combining morphology microhardness distribution, it found that the gra...

Providing users with carefully authored Locative media experiences (which can be consumed via a GPS equipped smartphones or tablets) has significant potential for fostering a strong engagement with their current surroundings. However, the availability of mobile tools to support the authoring of locative media experiences in-situ, and by non-technical users, remains scarce. In this article we pr...

Although previous analyses of higher-order motivational dimensions have suggested at least seven major dynamic traits among adults, corresponding analyses among adolescents have not yet been undertaken in any satisfactory manner. To this end, the present article reports the results of a higher-order factor analysis of the subscale intercorrelations for the School Motivation Analysis Test (SMAT)...

The main objective of this work is to understand the fundamental damage mechanisms involved in a SMAT treated CoCrMo alloy subjected fatigue under rotating bending loads. For purpose, different load amplitudes are imposed on cylindrical specimens, as-machined and states. Different material characterizations performed order determine which features play an important role life studied alloy. Such...

Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) has been carried out at cryogenic and room temperatures on a 5553 ?-metastable Ti alloy to describe its effects the modification of microstructure fatigue properties. The temperature promoted martensitic transformation width kink bands produced by SMAT. formation was high strain rates SMAT process. samples SMATed showed an increase in resistance, ab...

This article provides a brief overview of the Nobbs Suzuki Praxis (NSP), an Australian variant Method Actor Training (SMAT) developed by John in collaboration with Jacqui Carroll from mid-1990s onwards. After introduction to SMAT and context which NSP evolved it, outlines NSP’s key differences exercise practice design, particularly use signature physical vocal tools, increased structured improv...
