Fast Fencing
We consider very natural “fence enclosure” problems studied by Capoyleas, Rote, and Woeginger and Arkin, Khuller, and Mitchell in the early 90s. Given a set S of n points in the plane, we aim at finding a set of closed curves such that (1) each point is enclosed by a curve and (2) the total length of the curves is minimized. We consider two main variants. In the first variant, we pay a unit cos...
متن کاملEffects of Wildlife on Cattle Diets in Laikipia Rangeland, Kenya
The impacts of wild herbivores on cattle diet selection were investigated in an East African rangeland during August 2001 and February 2002. The study compared cattle diets in plots exclusively accessible to cattle (C) and those accessible to megaherbivores (elephants and giraffes), non-megaherbivore wild herbivores . 15 kg (zebras, hartebeests, Grant’s gazelles, oryx, elands, and buffaloes) an...
متن کاملImage De-fencing Revisited
We introduce a novel image defencing method suitable for consumer photography, where plausible results must be achieved under common camera settings. First, detection of lattices with see-through texels is performed in an iterative process using online learning and classification from intermediate results to aid subsequent detection. Then, segmentation of the foreground is performed using accum...
متن کاملBorder Security Fencing and Wildlife: The End of the Transboundary Paradigm in Eurasia?
The ongoing refugee crisis in Europe has seen many countries rush to construct border security fencing to divert or control the flow of people. This follows a trend of border fence construction across Eurasia during the post-9/11 era. This development has gone largely unnoticed by conservation biologists during an era in which, ironically, transboundary cooperation has emerged as a conservation...
متن کاملFinding Fencing Foils Using the Hough Transform
We present a method for the analysis of images of foil fencing. This is a challenging domain because of the speed of motion, which leads to significant motion blur. Our method detects the blade in images of a fencer, and is based on the Hough transform. In experiments under controlled conditions it is found to have a 94% success rate on two unseen sequences of 500 frames.
