Folding patch correspondence for multiview stereo

Abstract In this article, we propose the novel folding patch model which can replace the traditional patch model utilized in patch‐based multiview stereo (MVS) methods to significantly improve the reconstruction results. The patch model is applied as an approximation of the scene surface differential in the geometric estimation procedure. By minimizing the photometric discrepancy of the projection of the patch model on multiple source images, patch‐based MVS algorithms optimize the position and normal values for the 3D hypothesis of the target pixel. The optimization is based on the assumption that the patch model can fit the target scene surface perfectly. However, when it comes to complex scenes crowded with sharp edges, splintery surfaces, or round surfaces, the patch model is inherently not suitable since even from the microscopic perspective these surfaces are not entirely flat. We construct the folding patch model by folding the traditional patch model from the middle line. By adjusting the folding angle and direction, the folding patch model can fit complex surfaces more flexibly. We apply our folding patch model to the representative open‐source patch based multiview stereo (PMVS) and COLMAP, and validate the effectiveness on ETH3D benchmark and data sets captured in nature. The results demonstrate that utilizing the folding patch model can significantly improve the behavior of PMVS and COLMAP, especially on data sets mainly consist of complex surfaces from plants.

Some Phenomenological Considerations in Computational Modeling of Analogy

There are currently several models of the analogy process that have been implemented in many computer systems. Analogy is a process that we use daily in basic thinking and learning tasks, and is manifested through memories, expectations, and, in general, associations by similarities and differences. Using analogies is something as spontaneous and familiar as implicitly effective in our continuous and our everyday thinking processes. However, aiming to have a complete description of analogy process as humans use, it is not an easy task. In this sense, the simulation of analogy process by computational programs, in general, weakly accounts for its complexity. Phenomenology can help us to unveil the presuppositions analogy operates with, by identifying and discovering the most original forms of objects constitution regarding their genetic origin in the passive (or precognitive) and active synthesis. Thus, genetic phenomenology distinguishes between active genesis, on the one hand, and passive genesis, on the other hand. In the former, the subject participates actively in the constitution of objects ranging from tools and utensils of daily living to systems of thought, artistic creations, mathematical theorems, or scientific theories. Every active genesis presupposes in the subject a kind of passivity that affects it beforehand. This “passivity” does not mean inactivity, but it rather refers to the fact of being involuntarily affected by a variety of habits, for example, dispositions, thinking patterns, motivations, emotions, memories, traditions, and paradigms. Phenomenology of association considers the constitutive role of association syntheses which would be the analogical channels or basic elements of thinking generation by analogy.
An Efficient Data Hiding Approach on Digital Color Image for Secret communication

: In this research paper I have proposed the method of an efficient data hiding approach on digital color image for secret communication. The method is applicable for confidential data transfer, secret communication, copyright protection for digital media and military purpose. Steganography process is used for this. Steganography is the process of hiding secret information behind the original cover file. This file may be audio, video or image file. In this system the digital image is taken as input image and preprocessing of input image is done with the help of MATLAB. Any noise present in image is detected and removed in the image preprocessing technique. A given input image is converted into three different planes i.e. red, green and blue plane. After the plane separation embedding process takes place. Also one password is added at the time of embedding process as well as data extraction process, so that no one can easily hack the data. Chaos algorithm is used for data encryption. After the embedding process stego image is formed. In the data extraction process we have to get back original information. So that Chaos decryption algorithm is used to retrieve secret data and cover image. The primary idea of this project is to increase data hiding capacity and reduce image quality degradation.

Information and Communication Technologies in the Preparation of Specialists of the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology

The paper is devoted to the problem of information and communication technologies in the preparation of specialists of the faculty of pedagogy and psychology. We considered the following advantages of informatization of education in Russia as one of the most important mechanisms of modernization of the educational system -the possibility of organizing the process of cognition, supporting the activity approach to the educational process in all its links in the aggregate (needs - motives - goals - conditions - means - actions - operations); - individualization of the educational process while maintaining its integrity due to the programmability and dynamic adaptability of automated training programs; - a radical change in the organization of the process of cognition by shifting it toward system thinking; - the possibility of building an open education system that provides each individual with their own learning and self-learning trajectory; - creation of an effective management system for information and methodological support of education. In our opinion it is necessary to develop new concepts that ensure changes at the paradigm level. We made the conclusion that modified educational system, in which modern technologies will be balanced and reasonably combined with the achievements of pedagogy, will provide teachers and students with new opportunities and advantages: from passive perception of educational material to independent productive activities; from the reported learning to discussions and joint creative search; from dry points to an integrated assessment of the development of personal qualities; from limited trainee assistance to large-scale educational services; from one diploma to many diplomas and certificates that make up a comprehensive professional portrait of a specialist.
A Quantum Proxy Arbitrated Signature Scheme Based on Two Three-Qubit GHZ States

In this paper, we proposed a quantum proxy arbitrated signature scheme based on two three-qubit GHZ states. In the scheme, we chose a trust third party (TP) as proxy signer, which can finish the signature process without the original signer’s authority. The scheme uses the physical characteristics of quantum mechanics to implement delegation, signature and verification. It could guarantee not only the unconditionally security but also the anonymity of the message owner. We prove that our scheme can resist the eavesdropping attack, and the security analysis shows the scheme satisfies the security features of proxy arbitrated signature, singers cannot disavowal his signature while the signature cannot be forged by others, and the message owner can also be traced.
What if Classroom Instruction Becomes a Thing of the Past?

Until recently, there was no doubt about what constituted a university education and how it was carried out. Suddenly, the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, and in a few weeks, not only education, but the entire world changed. In the new normal, post-pandemic world, it is possible that teaching face-to-face courses will be the exception, not the rule, in the U.S. and the Latin American and Caribbean regions. Furthermore, this virtual instruction will possibly be at massive levels with tens or hundreds of thousands of students at a time, modeled after massive open online courses (MOOCs).

Information backflow may not indicate quantum memory

We analyze recent approaches to quantum Markovianity and how they relate to the proper definition of quantum memory. We show that the well-known criterion of information backflow does not report a distinction between the quantum or classical character of observed memory effects. Therefore, as a complement to the current description, we propose a definition of a quantum backflow based on the concept of component dynamical maps and convexity arguments. In particular, for a natural choice of component maps, we provide a practical characterization of quantum memory in terms of the new concept of quantum memory witness. In particular, we give a full description of such witnesses in a qubit case. Finally, we discuss a potential generalization of component maps that should capture certain classical features of information backflow.

THE TESTING OF LIBRARY APPLICATION BY USING BOUNDARY VALUE ANALYSIS

Information System Testing or application testing is the process of implementing a program with the aim of   finding an error. Tests are done well in order to find out an error which is not revealed. In this study, one of the tests used is Black Box Testing with Boundary Value Analysis methods or techniques. This Boundary Value Analysis technique is tested by determining the lower and upper limits of the data to be tested. The test is     carried out on the added member form which consists of the id_anggota fields, member names, addresses, telephone, and email in the Library application.
Showing-Displays-Together: A Co-located Web Search Support Exploiting the Terminal Orientation

Today, people perform web search tasks with smartphones on a daily basis, forming a group of several users to achieve a common goal, such as finding a good restaurant and deciding a product to buy. During such a task, they naturally show the smartphone screen to share the displayed information, Showing-Displays-Together, after personally performing a web search. If the functions of a tool to support the collaborative web search could be automatically switched, users would be able perform their task more smoothly. In this paper, we propose a function to compare shared web pages among users, which is automatically invoked by exploiting the terminal orientation. We have developed a collaborative web search support tool which has three functions switched each other according to the terminal orientation, searching personally in portrait mode, browsing a shared favorites list in landscape mode, and comparing web pages in horizontal mode. The result of evaluation shows that user satisfaction, communication, and easiness in making a decision had a good impact on the tasks, but usability needed to be improved to avoid unintentional switching of the functions to users.
Ultra-Wideband Spectrum Hole Identification Using Principal Components and Eigen Value Decomposition

Ultra-Wideband Spectrum Hole identification using Principal Components and Eigen Value Decomposition evolve a method of detecting spectrum hole from complex and corrupted wide band spectrum signal, due to the effect of noise spectrum hole detection is usually a challenge in wideband signal, as the presence of noise give rise to error alert, that is, noise can be misconstrued for signal. Dimensionality reduction was first used as the first level of denoising   technique, Principal component Analysis (PCA) was used in dimensioning Wide Band Spectrum Data; this was able to reduce the noise level in the signal which made it convenient for Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to act on it.  FFT was used to decompose the signal to 64 sub band channels and on further reduction using principal Component Analysis (PCA), a 32 Level sub-band decomposition was carried out. Eigen Value generated shows that the magnitude of the signal to Noise ratio between Eigen Value 1 to 19 was high enough to show the that there exist a signal, while between 20 to 32 shows no signal by implication it indicates that these areas have high possibility of unoccupied spectrum holes.

Sistem Komunikasi Augmentatif dan Alternatif Berbasis Tracking Realtime Mata

Communication focuses on understanding of a person to another person, a simple communication can occur if there are similarities between the delivery of messages and people who receive messages. However, there are some people who lose communication skills or language and speech disorder which is a side effect of some diseases. One think to facilitate the problem is building a Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Systems. AAC is a communication method to support speaking or writing abilities for someone who have oral and writing disorders. In this research, eye-gaze boards used to implant AAC method. The computer programs created to implement that methods, with centroid iris tracking as input variable. The tests were carried out on various respondents with various eye shapes. The result of this research show that iris centroid could represent eyes direction, with six classifications (left – middle – right and upper – lower).
Controversies in Facelifting

It is a great pleasure and privilege for me to guest edit this issue of Facial Plastic Surgery entitled “Controversies in Facelifting.” In this issue, you will find some of the most pertinent issues regarding the discipline of facelifting. Our efforts, as surgeons, in facial rejuvenation are increasingly in demand by patients in a widening age range. In the not too distant past, “facial rejuvenation” could only be offered via a relatively short list of techniques and technologies. Facelifts, liposuction, browlifts, eyelid surgeries, chemical peels, and dermabrasion encompassed the vast majority of the interventions that could be realistically offered. In retrospect, many of these procedures were less effective, more expensive, and could only be reasonably offered to a narrower cross-section of the population than who we can engage today. There are now requests for rejuvenation from patients both younger and chronologically older than what we saw in the past. So, what happened? What made this change and expansion of services possible and desirable?

A Preliminary Study for Automatic Activity Labelling on an Elder People ADL Dataset

One consequence of the aging population is an increase in life expectancy implying greater healthcare needs as well as a serious healthy aging program. So healthy aging is one of the main challenges in the first world nowadays, and as much as possible devices, software and technological solutions applied to measure and improve the quality of life of the elder people are necessary. Recently, we presented a first prototype of an activity monitoring kit, and this study includes the analysis of the dataset gathered after six months of use. Since the wearable devices employed in this monitoring kit have not the automatic activity recognition service available, current work proposes several techniques to label automatically the Time Series (TS) obtained in the experiment. Thus, a new device with the same sensors as the old one plus the automatic activity recognition service available will be used to obtain a new labelled dataset, that will be used to learn a new model using semi-supervised learning to tag the not-labelled dataset.

Performance evaluation and energy consumption analysis of dairy industry by milk pasteurization

Energy audit provides the route that helps to get better utilization out of the available resources. The need is to evolve the right strategy for energy saving measures to achieve economical and environmental benefits. Also energy saving is as good as environment saving. Conducting Energy Audit in dairies is not the suppressing the demand for energy use, but providing ways for efficient use of energy and steep rejection of its wastage. Energy is a decisive component of dairy industry. Dairy industry depends on fossil fuels for energy supply. Pasteurization is a relatively mild heat treatment, in which food is heated below 100°C. The aim of experiment was to investigate average quantity of milk, electricity consumption in per day. The data was analyzed of November 2016, December 2016, and January 2017 for New Alfa pasteurizer. The highest average quantity of milk, electricity consumption and thermal energy in shift B of November was 523.87 kg., 17.48 (KW) and 159.45(KJ×103) respectively. The lowest average quantity of milk, electricity consumption and thermal energy in shift A of November was 488.67 kg., 16.37 (KW) and 140.24 (KJ×103). Followed by The highest average quantity of milk, electricity and thermal energy consumption in December was 331.05 kg., 11.05 (KW) and 91.74 (KJ×103) in shift B and the lowest collection of milk 141.46 kg., Electricity consumption average 4.65 (KW) and thermal energy consumption 38.64 (KJ×103) in shift A of New Alfa pasteurizer. New Alfa pasteurizer’s highest average quantity of milk in January (2017), 703.92 kg., electricity consumption average was 23.49 (KW) and thermal energy consumption 197.12 (KJ×103) in shift B while lowest average collection of milk, electricity, and thermal energy consumption was 396.67 kg., 13.24 (KW) and 111.04 (KJ×103) in shift A respectively.
