Semantic segmentation is a fundamental problem for computer vision. On the other hand, studies in field of biometrics, semantic gaining more importance. Many successful biometric recognition systems require high- performance algorithm. In this study, we present an effective ear technique natural images. A convolutional neural network trained pixel-based segmentation. DeepLab v3+ structure, with...

As a direct result of the awe-inspiring changes in LSI technology, an 8-bit microcomputer today has an equivalent of 8000 transistors-which for testing purposes are quite inaccessible, said Tudor Finch of Bell Labs in his introduction to Session 8. Finch, who chaired the session, went on to point out that this level of integration forces one to resort to more indirect techniques-e.g., technique...

Airborne wind energy (AWE) systems use tethered flying devices to harvest higher-altitude winds produce electricity. For the success of technology, it is crucial understand how people perceive and respond it. If concerns about technology are not taken seriously, could delay or prevent implementation, resulting in increased costs for project developers a lower contribution renewable targets. Thi...

Fuzzy linear regression (FLR) model can be thought of as a fuzzy variation of classical linear regression model. It has been widely studied and applied in diverse fields. When noise exists in data, it is a very meaningful topic to reveal the dependency between the parameter h (i.e. the threshold value used to measure degree of fit) in FLR model and the input noise. In this paper, the FLR model ...

Veech groups uniformize Teichmüller geodesics in Riemann moduli space. We gave examples of infinitely generated Veech groups; see Duke Math. J. 123 (2004), 49–69. Here we show that the associated Teichmüller geodesics can even have both infinitely many cusps and infinitely many infinite ends.

In this note we exhibit a condition under which a sequence of elements a19 , an in a commutative noetherian local ring A form an Asequence, and derive a number of corollaries. Recall that if M is an A-module, then a19 , an is an M-sequence if 1) ai+1 is a nonzerodivisor on M/(a19 9a1)M for i = 0, 9n — 1,. and 2) M Φ (al9 . . . , α n ) M . If a19 , an is an A-sequence and / is the ideal generate...
