description: The approach investigated in this work employs
LADAR measurements to detect and track pedestrians over
time. The algorithm can process range measurements from
both line and 3D scanners. The use of line scanners allows
detection and tracking at rates up to 75 Hz. However, this type
of sensor may not always perform satisfactorily in uneven
terrains. A 3D LADAR is used to improve operation in uneven
terrains, by first estimating the local ground elevation, and
then performing the detection using the measurements
corresponding to a certain height above the ground. The
information pipeline used to feed sensor data into the algorithm
is the same for both types of sensors. The perceptual
capabilities described aim to form the basis for safe and robust
navigation in robotic vehicles, necessary to safeguard
pedestrians operating in the vicinity of a moving robotic
vehicle.

description: A metric is proposed to explore the noncommutative form of the Anti-de Sitter space due to quantum effects. It has been proved that the non commutativity in AdS space induces a single component gravitoelectric field. The holographic Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) algorithm is then applied to compute the entanglement entropy in dual $CFT_2$. This calculation can be exploited to compute UV-IR cutoff dependent central charge of the certain noncommutative $CFT_2$. This non commutative computation of the entanglement entropy can be interpreted in the form of the surface/state correspondence. We have shown that non commutativity increases the dimension of the effective Hilbert space of the dual CFT.

description: It is well known that for certain tasks, quantum computing outperforms classical computing. A growing number of contributions try to use this advantage in order to improve or extend classical machine learning algorithms by methods of quantum information theory. This paper gives a brief introduction into quantum machine learning using the example of pattern classification. We introduce a quantum pattern classification algorithm that draws on Trugenberger's proposal for measuring the Hamming distance on a quantum computer (CA Trugenberger, Phys Rev Let 87, 2001) and discuss its advantages using handwritten digit recognition as from the MNIST database.

description: In this paper, we describe a method of improving trajectory optimization based on predicting good initial guesses from previous experiences. In order to generalize to new situations, we propose a paradigm shift: predicting qualitative attributes of the trajectory that place the initial guess in the basin of attraction of a low-cost solution. We start with a key such attribute, the choice of a goal within a goal set that describes the task, and show the generalization capabilities of our method in extensive experiments on a personal robotics platform.

description: The planets in the Solar System are known to be accompanied by co-orbital asteroids populating the Lagrangian points L4 and L5, the so-called Trojans. Theoretically, these locations could host bodies as massive as the main planet. The search for siblings of exoplanets in these peculiar zeroth order of resonance has already begun. Hydrodynamical simulations show that dust trapping in Lagrangian points is a natural product of planet formation, which could eventually be the seeds of Trojans. In this poster, we present a pilot study to investigate the presence of Trojans in PDS~70, the only system with two confirmed protoplanets. Our main result is a tentative detection of dust accumulation in one of the Lagrangian points of the planet PDS~70\,b. Future observations will allow to confirm the nature of our detection.

description: Υπό το πρίσμα της πολυδιάσπασης των παραδοσιακών μέσων και της διαρκούς ανάδυσης διαδραστικών - ψηφιακών καναλιών επικοινωνίας, η παρούσα μελέτη αποσκοπεί στην εξέταση των απόψεων των καταναλωτών σχετικά με τη βαρύτητα που αποδίδουν στα ψηφιακά σημεία επαφής τους με τις τουριστικές επιχειρήσεις και τους οργανισμούς, σε κάθε στάδιο της αγοραστικής διαδικασίας. Επιπλέον, η έρευνα επιδιώκει την εξέταση του τρόπου με τον οποίο τα προσωπικά χαρακτηριστικά των ψηφιακών χρηστών επηρεάζουν τις απόψεις τους για τη σημασία των εναλλακτικών ψηφιακών σημείων επαφής. Τα αποτελέσματα της πρωτογενούς έρευνας σε 106 συμμετέχοντες κατέδειξαν ότι στα πρώτα δύο στάδια της διαδικασίας λήψης αγοραστικών αποφάσεων στον Τουρισμό, οι καταναλωτές αποδίδουν αυξημένη έμφαση στα ίδια ψηφιακά σημεία (διαδικτυακή έρευνα σε μηχανές αναζήτησης, ιστοσελίδες διαδικτυακών κρατήσεων και ιστοσελίδες τουριστικών προορισμών). Ωστόσο, στο τρίτο στάδιο της αγοραστικής διαδικασίας, κανένα ψηφιακό σημείο επαφής δεν διαφαίνεται να παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο για τους συμμετέχοντες. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα αναλυτικά ευρήματα της μελέτης, οι μάρκετερς δύνανται να αναπτύξουν περιεχόμενο στο Instagram για τους νεότερους καταναλωτές, καθώς και για τους τακτικούς διαδικτυακούς χρήστες, κυρίως κατά τα δύο πρώτα στάδια της αγοραστικής διαδικασίας. Σε περίπτωση που οι τουριστικές επιχειρήσεις και οργανισμοί επιθυμούν να στοχεύσουν σε αγοραστικά τμήματα υψηλού μορφωτικού επιπέδου, καθώς και σε τακτικούς ταξιδιώτες αναψυχής, τότε συστήνεται η συμμετοχή σε δημοπρασίες λέξεων κλειδιών για τη βελτίωση της κατάταξής τους στις μηχανές αναζήτησης, καθώς και η παρουσία τους στις ιστοσελίδες διαδικτυακών κρατήσεων. Από την άλλη πλευρά, η περιορισμένη έμφαση που αποδίδουν οι καταναλωτές σε όλα τα ψηφιακά σημεία επαφής στο στάδιο μετά την αγορά, υποδηλώνει ότι τα παραδοσιακά κανάλια αλληλεπίδρασης με τους καταναλωτές παραμένουν σημαντικά στην ψηφιακή εποχή, ακόμα και για τους «έξυπνους τουρίστες». Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι η αξιολόγηση μετά την αγορά είναι κρίσιμη για τη δημιουργία σχεσιακού μάρκετινγκ με τμήματα της αγοράς, οι τουριστικές επιχειρήσεις και οργανισμοί οφείλουν να αναγνωρίσουν τη σημασία των παραδοσιακών καναλιών στις προσπάθειές τους να περιορίσουν τον πιθανό προβληματισμό των τουριστών μετά την αγορά.

Imitation Learning for Task Allocation

description: At the heart of multi-robot task allocation lies the ability to compare multiple options in order to select the best. In some domains this utility evaluation is not straightforward, for example due to complex and unmodeled underlying dynamics or an adversary in the environment. Explicitly modeling these extrinsic influences well enough so that they can be accounted for in utility computation (and thus task allocation) may be intractable, but a human expert may be able to quickly gain some intuition about the form of the desired solution. We propose to harness the expert's intuition by applying imitation learning to the multi-robot task allocation domain. Using a market-based method, we steer the allocation process by biasing prices in the market according to a policy which we learn using a set of demonstrated allocations (the expert's solutions to a number of domain instances). We present results in two distinct domains: a disaster response scenario where a team of agents must put out fires that are spreading between buildings, and an adversarial game in which teams must make complex strategic decisions to score more points than their opponents.
Explaining the formation of bulges with MOND

description: In the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm, bulges easily form through galaxy mergers, either major or minor, or through clumpy disks in the early universe, where clumps are driven to the center by dynamical friction. Also pseudo-bulges, with a more disky morphology and kinematics, can form more slowly through secular evolution of a bar, where resonant stars are elevated out of the plane, in a peanut/box shape. As a result, in CDM cosmological simulations, it is very difficult to find a bulgeless galaxy, while they are observed very frequently in the local universe. A different picture emerges in alternative models of the missing mass problem. In MOND (MOdified Newtonian Dynamics), galaxy mergers are much less frequent, since the absence of dark matter halos reduces the dynamical friction between two galaxies. Also, while clumpy galaxies lead to rapid classical bulge formation in CDM, the inefficient dynamical friction with MOND in the early-universe galaxies prevents the clumps to coalesce together in the center to form spheroids. This leads to less frequent and less massive classical bulges. Bars in MOND are more frequent and stronger, and have a more constant pattern speed, which modifies significantly the pseudo-bulge morphology. The fraction of pseudo-bulges is expected to be dominant in MOND.

description: A Linear Boltzmann Transport model within perturbative QCD is developed for the study of parton propagation inside the quark-gluon plasma. Both leading partons and thermal recoil partons are tracked so that one can also study jet-induced medium excitations. In this study, we implement the complete set of elastic parton scattering processes and investigate elastic parton energy loss, transverse momentum broadening and their nontrivial energy and length dependence. We further investigate medium modifications of the jet shape and fragmentation functions of reconstructed jets. Contributions from thermal recoil partons are found to have significant influences on jet shape, fragmentation functions and angular distribution of reconstructed jets.

description: Abstract The Iraqi economy, as one of the economies of developing and rentier countries that depends on one resource to finance its public expenditures, crude oil revenues, suffers from structural imbalances between effective aggregate demand and aggregate supply that have led to a widening of the inflationary gap. Therefore, evaluating the performance of fiscal and monetary policy variables is a good way to find out the imbalance in Addressing macroeconomic problems, the most important of which is inflation. We used the indicators of fiscal and monetary policy with the aim of evaluating them through their annual performance, and then we used the ARDL approach to explain the impact of some fiscal and monetary variables on inflation in the short and long term. First, it became clear to us that there is a structural imbalance in this relationship, which required our use of the breakpoint tests (Zivot and Andrews, PP), and then the use of the Markov-Switching model, which gave us the result that the economy is moving from a depression regime to a boom system through monetary policy, through a decrease in the value of the depression system and the morale of the broad money supply coefficient at the level of (5%). To know the reaction of fiscal and monetary policy, we used (STAR) models with a smooth transition to determine the inflation threshold, at which decisions are made towards the rise in the general level of prices, as the threshold value reached (4.29%) with a speed of transmission (8.93), which is relatively small. Therefore, evaluating the performance of monetary and financial variables needs strong management of both policies, enabling them to achieve price stability as the primary objective.
Investigating the Viability of MEMS Vapor Sensors for Detecting Land Mines

Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: This paper reports the design specification and
process for constructing a gas identification instrument using
MEMS technology for the purpose of detecting buried land
mines. The aim is to design an instrument to detect and
identify gases that leak from buried land mines using an array
of sensors and a pattern recognition/signature identification
system. This report focuses on the design of the sensor array.
The principal component of the sensors is a conducting
polymer that is reversibly physically altered when exposed to
different chemical compounds. Physical changes experienced
by the polymer in the presence of the gas molecules are
detected and converted into electrical signals by two kinds of
transducers. Crystal oscillator-microbalances with MHz
oscillating frequencies detect changes in the polymer’s mass
via the shift in frequency in one type of sensor. In the other
sensing configuration, current traveling through the polymer
for a fixed voltage source is measured to detect the changes in
the polymer’s resistance. The first type of sensor is a
miniaturized version of the quartz crystal microbalance
(QCM) which is based on the mechanical principle that
resonant frequency decreases with increased mass. The second
type of sensor uses carbon black-polymer composite films,
which swell reversibly when exposed to a variety of gases and
thus induce a resistance change. In order to allow this sensor
to be reproduced accurately, high aspect ratio wells are
constructed using an SU-8 photoresist, and the polymer
solvent liquid is injected into these wells. The response of the
sensor array to different gases, and also different
concentrations of the gases, provides a signature by means of
which the identity and concentration of a variety of gases can
be recognized.

description: We present a theoretical study of the exciton binding energy for anisotropic two-dimensional crystals. We obtain analytical expressions from variational wave functions in different limits of the screening length to exciton size ratio and compare them with numerical solutions, both variational and exact. As an example, we apply these results to phosphorene, a monolayer of black phosphorous. Aided by density functional theory calculations for the evaluation of the two-dimensional polarizability, our analytical solution for the exciton binding energy gives a result which is very close to the numerical ones and, in turn, is comparable to the experimental value, as recently reported.

description: As robots become more commonplace within society,
the need for tools to enable non-robotics-experts to develop
control algorithms, or policies, will increase. Learning from
Demonstration (LfD) offers one promising approach, where
the robot learns a policy from teacher task executions. Our
interests lie with robot motion control policies which map
world observations to continuous low-level actions. In this
work, we introduce Advice-Operator Policy Improvement (AOPI)
as a novel approach for improving policies within LfD.
Two distinguishing characteristics of the A-OPI algorithm are
data source and continuous state-action space. Within LfD, more
example data can improve a policy. In A-OPI, new data is
synthesized from a student execution and teacher advice. By
contrast, typical demonstration approaches provide the learner
with exclusively teacher executions. A-OPI is effective within
continuous state-action spaces because high level human advice
is translated into continuous-valued corrections on the student
execution. This work presents a first implementation of the AOPI
algorithm, validated on a Segway RMP robot performing
a spatial positioning task. A-OPI is found to improve task
performance, both in success and accuracy. Furthermore,
performance is shown to be similar or superior to the typical
exclusively teacher demonstrations approach.

description: We investigate the optical properties of an ultrathin film of a topological insulator in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. We show that due to the combination of the overlap between the surface states of the two layers and the magnetic field, the optical conductivity can show strong anisotropy. This leads to the effective optical activity of the ultrathin film by influencing the circularly polarized incident light. Intriguingly, for a range of magnetic fields, the reflected and transmitted lights exhibit elliptic character. Even for certain values almost linear polarizations are obtained, indicating that the thin film can act as a polaroid in reflection. All these features are discussed in the context of the time reversal symmetry breaking as one of key ingredients for the optical activity.

description: Abstract: "Since the Lucas-Kanade algorithm was proposed in 1981 image alignment has become one of the most widely used techniques in computer vision. Applications range from optical flow, tracking, and layered motion, to mosaic construction, medical image registration, and face coding. Numerous algorithms have been proposed and a variety of extensions have been made to the original formulation. We present an overview of image alignment, describing most of the algorithms in a consistent framework. We concentrate on the inverse compositional algorithm, an efficient algorithm that we recently proposed. We examine which of the extensions to the Lucas-Kanade algorithm can be used with the inverse compositional algorithm without any significant loss of efficiency, and which cannot. In this paper, Part 3 in a series of papers, we cover the extension of image alignment to allow linear appearance variation. We first consider linear appearance variation when the error function is the Euclidean L2 norm. We describe three different algorithms, the simultaneous, project out, and normalization inverse compositional algorithms, and empirically compare them. Afterwards we consider the combination of linear appearance variation with the robust error functions described in Part 2 of this series. We first derive robust versions of the simultaneous and normalization algorithms. Since both of these algorithms are very inefficient, as in Part 2 we derive efficient approximations based on spatial coherence. We end with an empirical evaluation of the robust algorithms."

description: Auto-active verifiers provide a level of automation intermediate between fully automatic and interactive: users supply code with annotations as input while benefiting from a high level of automation in the back-end. This paper presents AutoProof, a state-of-the-art auto-active verifier for object-oriented sequential programs with complex functional specifications. AutoProof fully supports advanced object-oriented features and a powerful methodology for framing and class invariants, which make it applicable in practice to idiomatic object-oriented patterns. The paper focuses on describing AutoProof's interface, design, and implementation features, and demonstrates AutoProof's performance on a rich collection of benchmark problems. The results attest AutoProof's competitiveness among tools in its league on cutting-edge functional verification of object-oriented programs.

description: Recent research has shown the beneﬁt of framing problems of imitation learning as solutions to Markov Decision Problems. This approach reduces learning to the problem of re-
covering a utility function that makes the behavior induced
by a near-optimal policy closely mimic demonstrated behavior. In this work, we develop a probabilistic approach based
on the principle of maximum entropy. Our approach provides
a well-deﬁned, globally normalized distribution over decision
sequences, while providing the same performance guarantees
as existing methods.
We develop our technique in the context of modeling real world navigation and driving behaviors where collected data
is inherently noisy and imperfect. Our probabilistic approach
enables modeling of route preferences as well as a powerful new approach to inferring destinations and routes based on
partial trajectories.

description: Abstract: "This paper presents an efficient approach for determining disassembly motion plans of a subassembly in the free space within its parent subassembly. We propose a two-step approach to generating motion plans. First, all possible paths within free space of the parent subassembly are generated using a partial medial axis. This is followed by a graph search for an optimal global path. Second, a collision free motion is planned using the global path and the geometry of the moving subassembly. In this paper, we focus on the first problem, i.e.,generation of a partial medial axis for disassembly motion planning. We present a method to determine a partial medial axis (PMA) by generating Critical Points (CPs) and connecting them based on geometry of the parent subassembly.The PMA gives us all possible paths to disassemble subassembly out of its parent subassembly. The connectivity between segments of the PMAis represented in the form of a graph which is augmented with geometric information from the PMA. An optimal path is found by using graph search techniques on the augmented graph. A method called the two-disks motion planning strategy is proposed to plan the disassembly motion along the generated path. This method is discussed in detail in our companion paper [19]."

description: Direct human control of multi-robot systems is limited by the cognitive ability of humans to coordinate numerous interacting components. In remote environments, such as those encountered during planetary or ocean exploration, a further limit is imposed by communication bandwidth and delay. Market based planning can give humans a higher-level interface to multi-robot systems in these scenarios. Operators provide high level tasks and attach a reward to the achievement of each task. The robots then trade these tasks through a market based mechanism. The challenge for the system designer is to create bidding algorithms for the robots that yield high overall system performance. Opportunity cost provides a nice basis for such bidding algorithms since it encapsulates all the costs and benefits we are interested in. Unfortunately, computing it can be difficult. We propose a method of learning opportunity costs in market based planners. We provide analytic results in simplified scenarios and empirical results on our FIRE simulator, which focuses on exploration of Mars by multiple, heterogeneous rovers.

description: Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have been intensively investigated due to its great homogeneity and high luminosity, which make it possible to use them as standardizable candles for the determination of cosmological parameters. In 2011, the physics Nobel prize was awarded for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae. This is a pedagogical article, aimed at those starting their study of that subject, in which we dwell on some topics related to the analysis of SNe Ia and their use in luminosity distance estimators. Here we investigate their spectral properties and light curve standardization, paying careful attention to the fundamental quantities directly related to the SNe Ia observables. Finally, we describe our own step-by-step implementation of a classical light curve fitter, the stretch, applying it to real data from the Carnegie Supernova Project.

description: To respond to the need of flexible energy storage systems, able to provide both power and energy services, Hybris project proposes the integration of an organic redox flow (ORFB) battery with a lithium titanate oxide (LTO) one.
 Before starting with the design development (WP2), a clear picture of the current available technologies is necessary to address the integration process towards the most appropriate and feasible way.
 In this document, the requirements and specifications of both LTO and ORFB batteries are analysed, in terms of electrical, electronics, communication, and mechanical characteristics.
 Moreover, since the hybrid system will perform not only services from the owner point of view, but it will be designed to provide energy services to external requests (DSO), following the paradigm of “Energy as a Service” (EaaS), particular attention will be paid to the requirements for the interoperability.
 Finally, first assumptions on the technical hybridization and of the overall performance of the hybrid are part of this report.

description: Acculturation has been shown to be relevant to immigrant students’ school adjustment and academic achievement. However, there are methodological constraints to the literature and only little is known about immigrant students’ acculturation patterns as such and their distribution across different demographic groups in Germany. Conceptualizing acculturation as a multidimensional construct, this paper aims to empirically capture acculturation patterns of immigrant students living in Germany considering affective, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of acculturation. Latent profile analysis identified six distinct profiles of acculturation evocative of strong assimilation, assimilation, integration, strong separation, separation, and marginalization. Taking the two assimilationist and separationist profiles together, assimilation was most prevalent (41% of sample), followed by separation (38% of sample), and integration and marginalization each accounted for only about 11% of the sample. Inspection of demographics showed significant differences between profiles regarding gender, generation status, and ethnic group. Findings suggest that careful consideration of the operationalization of acculturation is necessary to draw valid conclusions about its relevance to school-related outcomes for immigrant students. This study can serve as a starting point showing the use of latent profile approaches, which give an expanded perspective on immigrant students’ acculturation experiences.
Man-Made Structure Detection in Natural Images using a Causal Multiscale Random Field

description: This paper presents a generative model based approach
to man-made structure detection in 2D natural images. The
proposed approach uses a causal multiscale random field
suggested in [3] as a prior model on the class labels on the
image sites. However, instead of assuming the conditional
independence of the observed data, we propose to capture
the local dependencies in the data using a multiscale feature
vector. The distribution of the multiscale feature vectors is
modeled as mixture of Gaussians. A set of robust multiscale
features is presented that captures the general statistical
properties of man-made structures at multiple scales
without relying on explicit edge detection. The proposed approach
was validated on real-world images from the Corel
data set, and a performance comparison with other techniques
is presented.

description: Stars which pass close to the Sun can perturb the Oort cloud, injecting comets into the inner solar system where they may collide with the Earth. Using van Leeuwen's re-reduction of the Hipparcos data complemented by the original Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogues, along with recent radial velocity surveys, I integrate the orbits of over 50 000 stars through the Galaxy to look for close encounters. The search uses a Monte Carlo simulation over the covariance of the data in order to properly characterize the uncertainties in the times, distances, and speeds of the encounters. I show that modelling stellar encounters by assuming instead a linear relative motion produces, for many encounters, inaccurate and biased results. I find 42, 14, and 4 stars which have encounter distances below 2, 1, and 0.5 pc respectively, although some of these stars have questionable data. Of the 14 stars coming within 1 pc, 5 were found by at least one of three previous studies (which found a total of 7 coming within 1 pc). The closest encounter appears to be Hip 85605, a K or M star, which has a 90% probability of coming between 0.04 and 0.20 pc between 240 and 470 kyr from now (90% Bayesian confidence interval). However, its astrometry may be incorrect, in which case the closest encounter found is the K7 dwarf GL 710, which has a 90% probability of coming within 0.10-0.44 pc in about 1.3 Myr. A larger perturbation may have been caused by gamma Microscopii, a G6 giant with a mass of about 2.5 Msol, which came within 0.35-1.34 pc (90% confidence interval) around 3.8 Myr ago.

Λόγω των πολυάριθμων πλεονεκτημάτων της, η προσθετική κατασκευή έχει γίνει μια δημοφιλής τάση στις κατασκευαστικές διαδικασίες. Ορίζεται ως η μέθοδος κατασκευής εξαρτημάτων μέσω εναπόθεσης στρώμα προς στρώμα. Η χρήση της τεχνολογίας τρισδιάστατης εκτύπωσης έχει μειώσει τις επιπλέον δαπάνες που συνδέονται με την ανάπτυξη προϊόντων. Η τρισδιάστατη εκτύπωση, από την άλλη πλευρά, έχει μόλις πρόσφατα γίνει δημοφιλής σε μια σειρά από παραγωγικές διαδικασίες, από τα πρότυπα έως τα τελικά προϊόντα. Έχει αποτελέσει, πλέον ελκυστική προοπτική για τις βιομηχανίες λόγω των σύνθετων γεωμετριών που κατασκευάζονται μέσω των εκτυπώσεων. Τέτοιες γεωμετρίες είναι σχεδόν αδύνατον να κατασκευαστούν με τις συμβατικές κατεργασίες. Λόγω του γρήγορου ρυθμού που επικρατεί στον βιομηχανικό τομέα και παρατηρώντας την ανάγκη για νέες πιο ελκυστικές μεθόδους παραγωγής, σε αυτή την εργασία θα μελετηθουν τις δυνατότητες των αντικειμένων που μπορούν να παραχθούν με τις μεθόδους εκτύπωσης στερεολιθογραφίας (SLA), κάνοντας δοκιμές καταπόνησης σε στρέψη, των δοκιμίων που θα έχουν επιμεληθεί από τον συγγραφέα της διπλωματικής για την εκτύπωση – παραγωγή τους. Οι παραπάνω διαδικασίες, θα επιφέρουν σημαντικά συμπεράσματα που έχουν σημαντικό ρόλο στο μέλλον και την εξέλιξη της βιομηχανίας και κυρίως του κλάδου της μηχανολογίας.

description: Advances in camera and computing equipment hardware
in recent years have made it increasingly simple to capture
and store extensive amounts of video data. This, among
other things, creates ample opportunities for the sharing of
video sequences. In order to protect the privacy of subjects
visible in the scene, automated methods to de-identify the
images, particularly the face region, are necessary. So far
the majority of privacy protection schemes currently used in
practice rely on ad-hoc methods such as pixelation or blurring
of the face. In this paper we show in extensive experiments
that pixelation and blurring offers very poor privacy
protection while significantly distorting the data. We then
introduce a novel framework for de-identifying facial images.
Our algorithm combines a model-based face image
parameterization with a formal privacy protection model.
In experiments on two large-scale data sets we demonstrate
privacy protection and preservation of data utility.
