Eigen-points estimates the image-plane locations of fiduciary points on an objects. By estimating multiple locations simultaneously, eigen-points exploits the interdependence between these locations. This is done by associating neighboring, inter-dependent control-points with a model of the local appearance. The model of local appearance is used to find the feature in new unlabeled images. Cont...

transmission of blast waves is a complex phenomenon and the characteristics vary with blast design parameters and geo-technical properties of medium. frequency of vibration and triggering component for structural excitation generally quantifies safe vibration magnitude. at closer distance or higher elevations than the blast locations, vertical or transverse component will be the first arrival t...
