3D face reconstruction from a single image is challenging problem, especially under partial occlusions and extreme poses. This because the uncertainty of estimated 2D landmarks will affect quality reconstruction. In this paper, we propose novel joint optimization method to adaptively reconstruct shapes image, which combines depths solve uncertain detections invisible landmarks. The strategy our...

In 1950 Lindbom published the results of a radiological survey of atherosclerotic lesions in 356 legs of 185 cadavers and in 295 arteriograms of 205 patients with arterial insufficiency. He identified two principal sites of origin for femoro-popliteal occlusions, the main one being in the adductor region and the subsidiary in the popliteal artery above the level of the knee-joint. In this surve...

Forty-four unanesthetized cats underwent temporary middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion with an implanted, externally controlled balloon cuff occluder. The occlusion was reversed to allow reperfusion of the MCA after 2 min to 24 hr of ischemia. Fourteen cats had temporary occlusions lasting 2 min to 3 hr; their neurological deficits improved or resolved after reperfusion, and brain sections s...

By far, many stereo-matching techniques have been successfully proposed and applied in digital aerial photogrammetry. However, due to some problems such as large parallaxes, occlusions, geometric deformations, and repetitive patterns in convergent close range images, these methods may not be applicable to the same level of success as that of aerial imagery. In order to overcome these shortcomin...

Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) devices show great potential for application in Forest Inventories (FIs) as they are capable of registering high resolution point clouds rapidly and automatically. Nevertheless, operational use TLS FI purposes has been hampered by the absence algorithms processing acquired data, particularly single-scan mode, occlusions result loss information. The R package FOR...
