We present a novel multi-person pose estimation framework, which extends pictorial structures (PS) to explicitly model interactions between people and to estimate their poses jointly. Interactions are modeled as occlusions between people. First, we propose an occlusion probability predictor, based on the location of persons automatically detected in the image, and incorporate the predictions as...

Due to low birth rate and aging, the population in Korean has declined since 2020. However, single-person households are rapidly increasing. While there may be various reasons, it is expected that will increase because of unmarried individuals, age first marriage divorce rate. The government implementing housing support policies for increasing households, but few understand satisfaction househo...

OBJECTIVES This study assesses the affordability of a nutritious diet for households in Toronto that are supported by welfare. METHODS For three hypothetical households, welfare incomes were compared to the monthly costs for food, shelter, and other essential expenditures in Toronto. RESULTS If households lived in market rental accommodation, average monthly incomes were insufficient to cov...

Even for the present-day computer technology, the biometric recognition of human face is a difficult task and continually evolving concept in the area of biometric recognition. The area of face recognition is well-described today in many papers and books, e.g. (Delac et al., 2008), (Li & Jain, 2005), (Oravec et al., 2010). The idea that two-dimensional still-image face recognition in controlled...

BACKGROUND Human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) is widespread. After exposure, BPA is rapidly metabolized and eliminated in urine. Therefore, there is considerable within-person and between-person variability of BPA concentrations in spot urine samples. However, no information exists on the within-day variability of urinary BPA concentrations. OBJECTIVES We examined the between-person and with...

The visual motion of the mouth and the corresponding audio data generated when a person speaks are highly correlated. This fact has been exploited for lip/speechreading and for improving speech recognition. We describe a method of automatically detecting a talking person (both spatially and temporally) using video and audio data from a single microphone. The audio-visual correlation is learned ...

The Distribution View provides a model that integrates four 6 distributional concerns in the evaluation of risky prospects. Starting from 7 these concerns, we can generate an ordering over a set of risky prospects, 8 or, starting from an ordering, we can extract a characterization of the 9 underlying distributional concerns. Separability of States and/or Persons 10 for multiple-person risky pro...
