In this paper we present a novel tool for body-part segmentation and tracking in the context of multiple camera systems. Our goal is to produce robust motion cues over time sequences, as required by human motion analysis applications. Given time sequences of 3D body shapes, body-parts are consistently identified over time without any supervision or a priori knowledge. The approach first maps sh...

We present a new and effective approach for Hyperspectral Image (HSI) classification and clutter detection, overcoming a few long-standing challenges presented by HSI data characteristics. Residing in a high-dimensional spectral attribute space, HSI data samples are known to be strongly correlated in their spectral signatures, exhibit nonlinear structure due to several physical laws, and contai...

This study compared the effect of alternative graphic or numeric vertical navigation (VNAV) aircraft cockpit displays on horizontal and vertical flight technical error (FTE), workload and subjective preference. Displays included: a) a moving map with altitude range arc, b) the same format, supplemented with a push-to-see profile view, including a vector flight-path predictor, c) an equivalent n...

The Johanson Lake project is a two-year bedrock mapping program initiated by the Geological Survey and Development Branch in 2003 as part of the Toodoggone Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI). The project is focused on a belt of Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the eastern part of the McConnell Creek (94D) map sheet. This area contains a number of MINFILE occu...

by intermittent land masses on the northeast and southwest. The area has been cut by numerous right-lateral transcurrent faults and the stratified rocks now lie along the northeastern flank of the Coast Plutonic Complex. leletzky and Tipper (1968) described a faunal stratigraphy for the Taseko Lakes map sheet and discussed the role of the Qaughton trough in the geological history of southwester...

The programming language Pascal waH originally designed for tcaching introductory programming, currently, however, production systems use it as the primary implementation language. This paper describes extensions of Pascal intended to aid the large program developer. The extensions are implemented in a macro preprocessor MAP, which supports constant expression evaluation, source file inclusion,...

We present an analysis of near-infrared integral field unit spectroscopy for the gravitationally lensed Lyman break galaxy, the 8 o’clock arc, taken with SINFONI on the Very Large Telescope. We explore the shape of the spatially-resolved Hβ profile and demonstrate that we can decompose it into three main components that partially overlap (spatially) but are distinguishable when we include the d...

knowledge of behavior climatic indexes can be help to planning future programs bahabad study area in the eastern part of the province of yazd with a hot and dry climate, high potential evapotranspiration and low rainfall has a high potential for desertification. the aim of this research is evaluation of classification intensity by imdpa model with emphasis to climate criteria. the indices inclu...

In Euclidean geometry the vertices P of those angles ∠APB of size α that pass through the endpoints A, B of a given segment trace the arc of a circle. In hyperbolic geometry on the other hand a set of equivalently defined points P determines a different kind of curve. In this paper the most basic property of the curve, its convexity, is established. No straight-forward proof could be found. The...
