Perspective Aware Road Obstacle Detection

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Krzysztof Maciej Lis, Sina Honari

While road obstacle detection techniques have become increasingly effective, they typically ignore the fact that, in practice, the apparent size of the obstacles decreases as their distance to the vehicle increases. In this letter, we account for this by c ...

The SparSpec algorithm and the application to the detection of spatial periodicities in tokamaks: from a 1D to a 2D analysis

Duccio Testa

A well-known, previously only 1D, algorithm using the Sparse Representation of Signals and an iterative Block Coordinate Descent method (the SparSpec-1D algorithm) has been further developed and tested in a 2D spatial domain to obtain the toroidal and polo ...

Projected resurgence of COVID-19 in the United States in July-December 2021 resulting from the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant and faltering vaccination

Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Shi Chen

In Spring 2021, the highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant began to cause increases in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in parts of the United States. At the time, with slowed vaccination uptake, this novel variant was expected to increase the ri ...

Interactions of spatial strategies producing generalization gradient and blocking: A computational approach

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

We present a computational model of spatial navigation comprising different learning mechanisms in mammals, i.e., associative, cognitive mapping and parallel systems. This model is able to reproduce a large number of experimental results in different varia ...

Heightened clinical utility of smartphone versus body-worn inertial system for shoulder function B-B score

Kamiar Aminian, Alain Farron, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Cyntia Duc

The B-B Score is a straightforward kinematic shoulder function score including only two movements (hand to the Back + lift hand as to change a Bulb) that demonstrated sound measurement properties for patients for various shoulder pathologies. However, the ...

Adapting tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for steep, fully three-dimensional, mountainous terrain

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

In recent studies of atmospheric turbulent surface exchange in complex terrain, questions arise concerning velocity-sensor tilt corrections and the governing flow equations for coordinate systems aligned with steep slopes. The standard planar-fit method, a ...

Turbulence anisotropy in a compound meandering channel with different submergence conditions

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

The understanding of the physical processes related to flows on compound meandering channels is a challenge given their highly 3D and complex characteristics. Three-dimensional ADV measurements were made in three cross-sections on a 1:20 physical Froude mo ...

Determination of the centre of mass kinematics in alpine skiing using differential global navigation satellite systems

Julien Chardonnens

In the sport of alpine skiing, knowledge about the centre of mass (CoM) kinematics (i.e. position, velocity and acceleration) is essential to better understand both performance and injury. This study proposes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-bas ...

Determination of External Forces in Alpine Skiing Using a Differential Global Navigation Satellite System

Julien Chardonnens

In alpine ski racing the relationships between skier kinetics and kinematics and their effect on performance and injury-related aspects are not well understood. There is currently no validated system to determine all external forces simultaneously acting o ...
