Abstract Data augmentation has led to substantial improvements in the performance and generalization of deep models, remains a highly adaptable method evolving model architectures varying amounts data—in particular, extremely scarce available training data. In this paper, we present novel applying Möbius transformations augment input images during training. are bijective conformal maps that gen...

In this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (FG) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a Visco-Pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. The effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of FG circular and annular nanoplate. To obtain the vibration frequencies of the FG circular and annular nanopla...

in this study, a bearing capacity device is designed and fabricated to determine the load-settlement behavior of three circular footing models resting above the ground water table. capillary rise in the studied well graded sand is measured and the level of the water table is controlled at the desired heights during each bearing capacity test. moreover, shear strength parameters and soil water r...

As a kind of important flexible joint, two-axis flexure hinges can realize in-plane and out-of-plane motions and can be used for constructing flexure-based spatial compliant mechanisms. The paper introduces a common two-axis elliptical-arc-filleted flexure hinge that is generated by two different elliptical-arc-filleted cutout profiles and that provides some new hinge types. The analytical comp...

Building photorealistic 3D models of object or scene from images is still a very difficult task. The built 3D models can have different application in many areas, such as industrial, virtual reality, and movies, among others. This paper shows end to end reconstruction 3d voxels model from images using voxel coloring algorithm. We define a reconstruction area by computing the minimum 3D bounding...

Accurately modeling object colors, and features in general, plays a critical role in video segmentation and analysis. Commonly used color models, such as global Gaussian mixtures, localized Gaussian mixtures, and pixel-wise adaptive ones, often fail to accurately represent the object appearance in complicated scenes, thereby leading to segmentation errors. We introduce a new color model, Dynami...
