Generating high-quality annotations for object detection and recognition is a challenging important task, especially in relation to safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving (AD). Due the difficulty of perception situations occlusion, degraded weather, sensor failure, objects can go unobserved unlabeled. In this paper, we present CLUE-AD, general-purpose method detecting labeling ...

source localization is an essential part of array signal processing including radar, sonar, seismology and oceanography applications. the performance of the presented source localization methods are degraded substantially in practical situations. one of the conditions which decreases the performance o

background: renal complication of leptospirosis is common and its clinical manifestations vary from urinary sediment changes to acute renal failure. the aim of this study was to determine the final outcome of renal involvement in leptospirosis. methods: this longitudinal prospective study included all serologically confirmed cases of leptospirosis with evidence of renal failure. all patients we...

BACKGROUND Surgeons can control not only the angle but also the depth of suture anchor placement during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, although the tendency may be to place suture anchors on the deep side to avoid damage from prominent anchor eyelets. However, little information is available regarding possible effects of suture anchor depth on construct failure mechanisms. HYPOTHESIS Ancho...

A broadcast channel given by p(y 1 , y 2 |x) is said to be (physically degraded) if p(y 1 , y 2 |x) = p(y 1 |x)p(y 2 |y 1), ∀x ∈ X , ∀y 1 ∈ Y 1 , ∀y 2 ∈ Y 2. A broadcast channel given by p(y 1 , y 2 |x) is said to be (stochastic degraded) if its conditional marginal distributions p(y 1 |x) and p(y 2 |x) are the same as that of a physically degraded broadcast channel; that is, if there exists a ...

three-dimensional surface geometry of rock discontinuities and its evolution with shearing are of great importance in understanding the deformability and hydro-mechanical behavior of rock masses. in the present research, surfaces of three natural rock fractures were digitized and studied before and after the direct shear test. the variography analysis of the surfaces indicated a strong non-line...

land cover change constitutes one of main way of alteration of soil organic matter in both quantitative and qualitative terms. the goal of this study was to compare the carbon stock and the isotopic signature of the organic matter in the soil of areas with different land use, covered with forest and grass (pasture). the study area is located at sorocaba, sp, brazil. using un-deformed soil sampl...
