DPNet: Depth and Pose Net for Novel View Synthesis via Depth Map Estimation

Novel view synthesis is regarded as one of the efficient ways to realize stereoscopic vision, which paves the way to virtual reality. Image-based rendering (IBR) is one of the view synthesis strategies, which warps pixels from source views to target views in order to protect low-level details. However, IBR methods predict the pixels correspondence in an unsupervised way and have limits in getting accurate pixels. In this paper, we propose Depth and Pose Net (DPNet) for novel view synthesis via depth map estimation. We introduce two nearby views as implicit supervision to improve the pixels correspondence accuracy. Besides, the depth net firstly predicts the source depth map and then the pose net transforms the source depth map to the target depth map which is used to calculate pixels correspondence. Experimental results show that DPNet generates accurate depth maps and thus synthesizes novel views with higher quality than state-of-the-art methods on the synthetic object and real scene datasets.

Menumbuhkan Budaya Literasi Melalui Kecakapan Digital di Kalangan Mahasiswa Sosiologi Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Humaniora UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta

This study aims to discuss two important questions related to the causes of low interest in reading for millennials and the right solution to foster millennial literacy interest in Sociology Students, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, UIN Sunan Kalijaga. This research uses descriptive qualitative research method with the type of case study research. This research resulted in an answer that, The low interest in reading among students was due to several things, especially the development of digital technology. The development of digital technology if it is not balanced with self-control in its use can be detrimental to its users and can even be the main cause of the decline in literacy levels among students. However, digital technology can also be an effective stimulant that triggers an increase in reading interest. The lack of parental role in providing literacy culture is a factor that needs to be considered. Literacy interest is also influenced by the presence or absence of facilities for reading, if the facilities are complete and comfortable, it will support students' interest in reading. For some students, the pressure of the task that forces them to read a lot of literature actually becomes a fairly effective stimulant. With these factors, it is clear how the interest in literacy among students is, there are some students whose literacy awareness is still low. However, this can be overcome by providing effective and appropriate stimulants for them.Keywords: Digital Literacy, Digital Skills, Literacy Culture.

A Survey Study on the Academics' Views towards the Implementation of the Bologna Process at Duhok Polytechnic University

Over the last two decades, Bologna process had spread from Europe to countries on other continents, including Africa, South America, and Asia.The process has recently attracted the attention of the Kurdistan Regional Government; and has already been applied at a few universities in Kurdistan to replace the previous Iraqi education system, which is based on an annual calendar and is out of date to more formative system including (homework, classwork, assignment, projects, and reports).The new vision of the world is built on this foundation.Recently, and by applying the worldwide standards, Duhok Polytechnic University (DPU) has been able to strengthen the level of professionalism shown in higher education.The researcher wanted to see if the process had a chance of succeeding and what was needed to make it happen.Preparations were necessitated by assessing the perceptions of academicians in Duhok Polytechnic University toward the Bologna process.The study made use of a questionnaire with academicians who were subjected to implement the Bologna process.Due to a variety of factors, like the university's decent infrastructure and a large number of academicians both of which are valuable helps.The research findings implied that the process might be implemented.To summarize, and according to university's academics, various initiatives had made toward the adoption of the Bologna process, but further preparations and efforts are necessary to be taken in consideration.
RESEARCHING LEARNING STRATEGY TRAINING IN ENGLISH CAMPS: ACTS AND FACTS

As English grows as a foreign language in Indonesia, which is rarely used daily, learning strategy training might be one innovation to help students acquire the target language quickly. This study aimed to research the implementation of learning strategy training in English camps and understand the effect of the training on the student’s ability to solve their learning problems, especially in speaking English. It was a qualitative design with a case study approach. This research was conducted in the English village of Kampung Inggris Pare. It limited the investigation of learning strategy training in English boardings or camps. Four participants consisting of three students and one instructor were selected purposely. The data were gathered by conducting direct observations, interviews, and photos. They were then analyzed in six steps starting from preparing raw data materials to interpreting the meaning of the theme into qualitative descriptions. The results show that the instructor trained two domains of students' soft skills: affective and cognitive. From the affective side, the instructor encouraged students' motivation to stay enthusiastic, not hesitate to speak, and are not scared of making mistakes. While from the cognitive side, the instructor trained students to learn English through their hobby or passion, such as through a song or movie for those who love music or watching. In fact, students could find and develop their own learning strategies based on their learning style and "let it flow" without paying more attention of grammar errors. Therefore, this study suggested teachers or instructors approach the students emotionally and train them to learn English with appropriate strategies based on their learning style or passion.
Self-Prior Guided Pixel Adversarial Networks for Blind Image Inpainting

Blind image inpainting involves two critical aspects, <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">i.e.</i> , “where to inpaint” and “how to inpaint”. Knowing “where to inpaint” can eliminate the interference arising from corrupted pixel values; a good “how to inpaint” strategy yields high-quality inpainted results robust to various corruptions. In existing methods, these two aspects usually lack explicit and separate consideration. This paper fully explores these two aspects and proposes a self-prior guided inpainting network (SIN). The self-priors are obtained by detecting semantic-discontinuous regions and by predicting global semantic structures of the input image. On the one hand, the self-priors are incorporated into the SIN, which enables the SIN to perceive valid context information from uncorrupted regions and to synthesize semantic-aware textures for corrupted regions. On the other hand, the self-priors are reformulated to provide a pixel-wise adversarial feedback and a high-level semantic structure feedback, which can promote the semantic continuity of inpainted images. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in metric scores and in visual quality. It has an advantage over many existing methods that assume “where to inpaint” is known in advance. Extensive experiments on a series of related image restoration tasks validate the effectiveness of our method in obtaining high-quality inpainting.
