pose estimation

description: Robots operating in the real world are expected to detect, classify, segment, and estimate the pose of objects to accomplish their task. Modern approaches using deep learning not only require large volumes of data but also pixel-accurate annotations in order to evaluate the performance and therefore safety of these algorithms. At present, publicly available tools for annotating data are scarce and those that are available rely on depth sensors, which excludes their use for transparent, metallic, and general non-Lambertian objects. To address this issue, we present a novel method for creating valuable datasets that can be used in these more difficult cases. Our key contribution is a purely RGB-based scene-level annotation approach that uses a neural radiance field-based method to automatically align objects. A set of user studies demonstrates the accuracy and speed of our approach over a purely manual or depth sensor assisted pipeline. We provide an open-source implementation of each component and a ROS-based recorder for capturing data with a eye-in-hand robot system. Code will be made available at https://github.com/markus-suchi/3D-DAT.

Year: 1977

description: Authorities on scale construction recommend that negatively worded items be used along with positively worded items to reduce careless responding. Negatively worded items are assumed to force respondents to consider item content more diligently. The present study investigates the influence of item wording in three versions (i.e., 33% positive, 67% positive, and 100% positive) of the Hardiness scale (Bartone, Ursano, Wright, &. Ingraham, 1989). These versions were administered to undergraduate psychology students (N = 325). Multi-sample, confirmatory factor analyses is used to compare the measurement models obtained with each version of the hardiness scale. The results of the study show that the mixture of negatively and positively worded items have undesirable effects on the measurement properties of a scale. Future research needs to include a questionnaire with no positively worded items, and to compare motivational and cognitive explanations for the influence of negatively worded items.
New representations for all sporadic Apéry-like sequences, with applications to congruences

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We find new representations, in terms of constant terms of powers of Laurent polynomials, for all the 15 sporadic Ap{é}ry-like sequences discovered by Zagier, Almkvist-Zudilin and Cooper.
 The new representations lead to binomial expressions for the sequences, which, as opposed to previous expressions, do not involve powers of 3 or 8. We use these to establish the supercongruence $B_{np^k} \equiv B_{np^{k-1}} \bmod p^{2k}$ for all primes $p \ge 3$ and integers $n,k \ge 1$, where $B_n$ is a sequence discovered by Zagier, known as Sequence $\mathbf{B}$.
 Additionally, for 14 of the 15 sequences, the Newton polytopes of the Laurent polynomials contain the origin as their only interior integral point. This property allows us to prove that these sequences satisfy a strong form of the Lucas congruences, extending work of Malik and Straub. Moreover, we obtain lower bounds on the $p$-adic valuation of these sequences via recent work of Delaygue.

South African distribution: Cape St. Francis (EC) to the KZN border with Mozambique.
Remarks: Galeocerdo cuvier previously had been placed in the family Carcharhinidae but the species has a number of distinct morphological characteristics, including very long upper labial furrows reaching to eye level, strong keels on caudal peduncle, an obvious spiracle, and a yolk-sac viviparous reproductive mode, which clearly separates it from that family. Molecular research supports its assignment into its own family (White et al., 2018; G.J.P. Naylor, unpubl. data). The species was first reported in South African waters (as G. rayneri) by Robinson (1920, Natal Fisheries Report for 1919, p. 50) and was quoted by Barnard (1925), stating that large specimens of this shark are caught with handlines off Durban’s North Pier.
Conservation status: NT (2019).

description: We present a method using contour integration to derive definite integrals and their associated infinite sums which can be expressed as a special function. We give a proof of the basic equation and some examples of the method. The advantage of using special functions is their analytic continuation which widens the range of the parameters of the definite integral over which the formula is valid. We give as examples definite integrals of logarithmic functions times a trigonometric function. In various cases these generalizations evaluate to known mathematical constants such as Catalan's constant and $π$.

description: We study the value distribution of the Sudler product $\prod_{n=1}^N |2 \sin (πn α)|$ and the Diophantine product $\prod_{n=1}^N (2e\| n α\|)$ for various irrational $α$, as $N$ ranges in a long interval of integers. At badly approximable irrationals these products exhibit strong concentration around $N^{1/2}$, and at certain quadratic irrationals they even satisfy a central limit theorem. In contrast, at almost every $α$ we observe an interesting anticoncentration phenomenon when the typical and the extreme values are of the same order of magnitude. Our methods are equally suited for the value distribution of Birkhoff sums $\sum_{n=1}^N f(n α)$ for circle rotations. Using Diophantine approximation and Fourier analysis, we find the first and second moment for an arbitrary periodic $f$ of bounded variation, and (almost) prove a conjecture of Bromberg and Ulcigrai on the appropriate scaling factor in a so-called temporal limit theorem. Birkhoff sums also satisfy a central limit theorem at certain quadratic irrationals.

His theories gave birth to what may be called later “the theory of the two sciences”, which entitles this work.

description: This paper introduces a new extension of Riemannian elastic curve matching to a general class of geometric structures, which we call (weighted) shape graphs, that allows for shape registration with partial matching constraints and topological inconsistencies. Weighted shape graphs are the union of an arbitrary number of component curves in Euclidean space with potential connectivity constraints between some of their boundary points, together with a weight function defined on each component curve. The framework of higher order invariant Sobolev metrics is particularly well suited for constructing notions of distances and geodesics between unparametrized curves. The main difficulty in adapting this framework to the setting of shape graphs is the absence of topological consistency, which typically results in an inadequate search for an exact matching between two shape graphs. We overcome this hurdle by defining an inexact variational formulation of the matching problem between (weighted) shape graphs of any underlying topology, relying on the convenient measure representation given by varifolds to relax the exact matching constraint. We then prove the existence of minimizers to this variational problem when we choose Sobolev metrics of sufficient regularity and a total variation (TV) regularization on the weight function. We propose a numerical optimization approach which adapts the smoothed fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding (SFISTA) algorithm to deal with TV norm minimization and allows us to reduce the matching problem to solving a sequence of smooth unconstrained minimization problems. We finally illustrate the capabilities of our new model through several examples showcasing its ability to tackle partially observed and topologically varying data.

description: Aldoses are structurally composed of a reactive aldehyde group and multiple hydroxy groups. Each specific sugar exhibits a defined stereochemistry of these alcoholic moieties, so they constitute a class of complex chiral aldehydes. Being constitutional isomers, the differentiation between sugars, especially in mixtures, is challenging. Previously, we have described a photometric kinetic assay to determine the open-chain content of aldoses utilizing the selective reaction with 2-aminobenzamidoxime (ABAO) [1]. Herein, we have taken further advantage of this aldehyde-selective reaction, using it for a qualitative aldose assay based on 19F-NMR, a highly sensitive and fast method. The influence of the position of the F‑label on the adduct formation rates was determined to ensure a fast reaction. Furthermore, derivatives of selected aldoses were prepared and the deviation of chemical shifts in 19F-NMR of the products were compared. While all four tested F-ABAO derivatives showed differences in shifts between the tested aldoses, one derivative was especially promising for the application in a qualitative sugar assay and the scope was expanded to all aldopentoses and aldohexoses for this derivative. An impressive influence of the stereochemistry up to 9 bonds apart from the fluorine atom on its chemical shift was observed, underlining the potential of F-labelled aminobenzamidoximes as probes for other types of aldehyde-mixtures within and beyond the sugar realm.

description: During an extrusion-based 3d printing process involving viscous-phase materials, whenever the nozzle-to-layer distance crosses a certain threshold value, the extruded thread snaps out from its linear configuration and starts to buckle in a variety of coiling and looping patterns. This nonlinear material behavior is known as Viscous Thread Instability. This project provides an initial applied research perspective on whether architecture- and construction-related digital workflows can leverage similar active and nonlinear material behaviors and, more specifically, whether these behaviors can be controlled and exploited for the production of graded architectural structures. The computational backbone of the research is a feedback-based pipeline linking a parametric design environment to a sensor-adaptive robotic additive fabrication setup which is able to produce customized Functionally Graded Structures.

description: Alkyl ethers are robust moieties and easily introduced, making them an interesting group for the masking of alcohols. However, they require harsh conditions for their cleavage. Consequently, they are not commonly used as protecting groups, as their removal is not compatible with many other functional groups. To make alkyl ethers feasible as protecting groups, mild and selective dealkylation strategies need to be developed. When looking into the world of biocatalysis, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases emerge as promising candidates, as many of these enzymes already engage in analogous reactions, for example in drug metabolism pathways. This preliminary study aims to broaden the substrate scope towards useful natural substrate derivatives, building upon previous research utilizing cytochrome P450 BM3 variants for the selective dealkylation of permethylated monosaccharides.1 We explored the application of this enzyme on similar substrates with common protecting groups. Functional groups with different steric demands and chemical properties were chosen to gain an understanding of the enzyme’s versatility. Additionally, we seek to expand the enzymatic dealkylation to other natural substrate derivatives based on inositol and alkaloids.

description: Explaining the foundations for predictions obtained from graph neural networks (GNNs) is critical for credible use of GNN models for real-world problems. Owing to the rapid growth of GNN applications, recent progress in explaining predictions from GNNs, such as sensitivity analysis, perturbation methods, and attribution methods, showed great opportunities and possibilities for explaining GNN predictions. In this study, we propose a method to improve the explanation quality of node classification tasks that can be applied in a post hoc manner through aggregation of auxiliary explanations from important neighboring nodes, named SEEN. Applying SEEN does not require modification of a graph and can be used with diverse explainability techniques due to its independent mechanism. Experiments on matching motif-participating nodes from a given graph show great improvement in explanation accuracy of up to 12.71% and demonstrate the correlation between the auxiliary explanations and the enhanced explanation accuracy through leveraging their contributions. SEEN provides a simple but effective method to enhance the explanation quality of GNN model outputs, and this method is applicable in combination with most explainability techniques.

Type locality.
“ environs du village méo de Pah Hia, à 100 kilomètres au Sud de Xieng-Khouang, chef-lieu de la province du Tran Ninh, Laos ” (probably refers to Ban Namthong, Longchaeng District, Xaisomboun Province, Laos, see Páll-Gergely et al. 2016).
Differential diagnosis.
This species is unique due to the presence of one concrescent barrier on the parietal side in combination with the palatal tubercle typical for the genus Bensonella.
Distribution.
This species in known only from the type locality.
Remarks.
Bensonella pahpetensis is not a typical representative of its genus due to the concrescent angular and parietal lamellae. However, we have placed it in this genus because of the presence of the palatal tubercle as well as the triangular-conical shell shape.

description: We investigate the edge states and the topological phase transitions in a class of tight binding lattices in one dimension where a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model exists in disguise. The unit cells of such lattices may have an arbitrarily intricate staggering pattern woven in the hopping integrals, that apparently masks the basic SSH structure. We unmask the SSH character in such lattices using a simple real space decimation of a subset of the degrees of freedom. The decimation not only allows us to recognize the familiar SSH geometry, but at the same time enables us to determine, in an analytically exact way, the precise energy eigenvalues at which the gaps open up (or close) at the Brillouin zone boundaries. It is argued that, a topological phase transition and the existence of the protected edge states can be observed in such lattices only under definite numerical correlations between the hopping integrals decorating the unit cell. Such a correlation, achievable in a variety of ways, brings different such models under a kind of a universality class.
