We introduce the novel task of Pano2Vid — automatic cinematography in panoramic 360◦ videos. Given a 360◦ video, the goal is to direct an imaginary camera to virtually capture natural-looking normal field-of-view (NFOV) video. By selecting “where to look” within the panorama at each time step, Pano2Vid aims to free both the videographer and the end viewer from the task of determining what to wa...

This paper is meant as a reference to describe the research conducted at the Politecnico di Milano university on unsupervised learning for anomaly detection. We summarize our key results and our ongoing and future work, referencing our publications as well as the core literature of the field to give the interested reader a roadmap for exploring our research area.

Relevant context inference (RCI) is a modular technique for flowand context-sensitive data-flow analysis of statically typed object-oriented programming languages such as C and Java. RCI can be used to analyze complete programs as well as incomplete programs such as libraries; this approach does not require that the entire program be memory-resident during the analysis. We show that RCI can han...

360◦ video consists of images capturing the complete scene as seen from a single point in any direction. In contrast to conventional images, 360◦ images cannot be natively represented in a planar fashion. Consequently, video created from a sequence of 360◦ images suffers from geometric distortions. These are caused by mapping of the images from a sphere in 3D space to a planar image. This paper...

The economic and field performance of six Bombyx mori Linnaeus bivoltine strains were evaluated, namely ICIPE I, Chun-Lei X ZhengZhu (C X Z), QuiFeng X BaiYu (Q X B), Quingsong X Haoyoe (Q X H), Suju X Minghu (S X M) and 75xin X 7532 (75xin). Performance was based on larval, cocoon, pupa and shell weights, relationship of food consumption to larval weight, cocoon weight and shell weight. ICIPE ...

This technical report complements a previous study on the sensitivity of online gaming players to different network quality of service. It presents preliminary results we obtained regarding the user sensitivity to degraded network conditions and the impact of degraded network conditions on player performance for the Xbox game Halo 2. The results are compared to previous obtained for the games X...

Using newly proposed recursion relations in [25, 26], compact formulas are obtained for tree-level amplitudes of g− 1 g − 2 g − 3 g + 4 g + 5 · · · g + n . We then make an extension of these recursion relations to include fermions of multi-flavors, from which MHV and MHV amplitudes are reproduced. We also calculate non-MHV amplitudes of processes with two fermions and four gluons. Results thus ...

Omnidirectional image and video, also known as 360 image and 360 video, are gaining in popularity with the recent growth in availability of cameras and displays that can cope with such type of content. As omnidirectional visual content represents a larger set of information about the scene, it typically requires a much larger volume of information. Efficient compression of such content is there...

Abstract: The similarity of massive CSW scalar vertices and quark vertices can be understood using a kind of light-cone SUSY transformation presented in this paper. We also show that the canonical transformation generating the MHV-SQCD lagrangian, can be fixed by applying this light-cone SUSY transformation to the canonical transformation for MHV-QCD obtained in paper arxiv:0805.0239. Most of t...

The absorption spectrum of the photoactive yellow protein from Rhodobacter sphaeroides (R-PYP) shows two maxima, absorbing at 360 nm (R-PYP(360)) and 446 nm (R-PYP(446)), respectively. Both forms are photoactive and part of a temperature- and pH-dependent equilibrium (Haker, A., Hendriks, J., Gensch, T., Hellingwerf, K. J., and Crielaard, W. (2000) FEBS Lett. 486, 52-56). At 20 degrees C, for P...
