by RIChARd KENdALL Using various education and census databases 1 this policy brief explores the Latino education pipeline in New York State and, where possible, uses disaggregated data to analyze the changes in educational enrollment, attainment, and achievement for Latinos between 1990 and 2000. The education pipeline represents the distribution of Latinos nrolled in preschool through graduat...

Journal bearings in typical applications are subjected to misalignment due several causes, such as shaft deformation under load and errors related the installation manufacturing processes. Misalignment has well-known severe negative consequences on performance of bearings. This paper deals with bearing chamfer reduce these misalignment, two forms edge modification considered analysis. These lin...

This paper presents an Augmented Reality system for aiding a pump assembling process at Grundfos, one of the leading pump producers. Stable pose estimation of the pump is required in order to augment the graphics correctly. This is achieved by matching image edges with synthesized edges from CAD models. To ensure a system which operates at interactive-time the CAD models are pruned o -line and ...

The following report discusses my work at the IDIAP from 06.2007 to 08.2007. This work had for objective to build a classifier for cat images, and focused on difficult images. Two approaches were implemented; one was using the Chamfer distance metric for matching, and the other learned models of our training images and used the Kullback-Leibler divergence as a metric of image comparison. Noise ...

We present a template-based approach to detecting human silhouettes in a specific walking pose. Our templates consist of short sequences of 2D silhouettes obtained from motion capture data. This lets us incorporate motion information into them and helps distinguish actual people who move in a predictable way from static objects whose outlines roughly resemble those of humans. Moreover, during t...
