The increasing availability of video recordings made by multiple cameras has offered new means for mitigating occlusion and depth ambiguities in pose motion reconstruction methods. Yet, multi-view algorithms strongly depend on camera parameters, particularly relative transformations between the cameras. Such a dependency becomes hurdle once shifting to dynamic capture uncontrolled settings. We ...

Railways are one of the most widely used mass transportation systems. Its superior capacity, low environmental impact, high safety, and comfort have been leading to a continuous increase in passengers. To keep this trend going, it is crucial improve railways’ attractiveness levels. A rail journey’s performance rather complex, involving analysis multiple factors. Those raised by vehicle motion s...

Graph theoretical explorations of functional interactions within the human connectome, are rapidly advancing our understanding of brain architecture. In particular, global and regional topological parameters are increasingly being employed to quantify and characterize inter-individual differences in human brain function. Head motion remains a significant concern in the accurate determination of...

False matching due to errors in feature extraction and changes in illumination between frames may occur in feature tracking in image sequences. False matching leads to outliers in feature motion trajectory. One way of reducing the effect of outliers is stochastic filtering using a state space model for motion trajectory. Hyper-parameters in the state space model, e.g., variances of noise distri...

Due to considerable stored energy in surfaces of nano-scales in comparison with the stored energy in their bulk, considering the surface energy is necessary for the analysis of various behaviors of nano-scales for more precise design and manufacturing. In this article, the longitudinal dynamic behavior of nanobars in the presence of the surface energy parameters is studied. To this end, the lon...

An algorithm for estimating the three-dimensional motion of a human face from a monocular image sequence is investigated. For motion estimation, the shape of a human face is described by a three-dimensional rigid triangular mesh and its motion by six parameters: one three-dimensional translation vector and three rotation angles. The motion parameters are estimated by maximizing the conditional ...

This paper presents a model of the Stokes vector emission from the ocean surface. The ocean surface is described as an ensemble of facets with Cox and Munk’s Gram-Charlier slope distribution. The study discusses the impact of different up-wind and cross-wind rms slopes, skewness, peakedness, foam cover models and atmospheric effects on the azimuthal variation of the Stokes vector, as well as th...
