17 Jun 2006TL;DR: This work integrates the cascade-of-rejectors approach with the Histograms of Oriented Gradients features to achieve a fast and accurate human detection system that can process 5 to 30 frames per second depending on the density in which the image is scanned, while maintaining an accuracy level similar to existing methods.
Abstract: We integrate the cascade-of-rejectors approach with the Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HoG) features to achieve a fast and accurate human detection system. The features used in our system are HoGs of variable-size blocks that capture salient features of humans automatically. Using AdaBoost for feature selection, we identify the appropriate set of blocks, from a large set of possible blocks. In our system, we use the integral image representation and a rejection cascade which significantly speed up the computation. For a 320 × 280 image, the system can process 5 to 30 frames per second depending on the density in which we scan the image, while maintaining an accuracy level similar to existing methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, a microbend test method for determining the plasticity length scale has been developed and described, which involves the bending of a thin annealed foil around a small diameter cylindrical mandril, followed by measurement of the unloaded and loaded radii of curvature.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that pl-flips exist in dimension n − 1, assuming finite generation in dimension N − 1 and assuming that pl flips exist in all dimensions.
Abstract: Assuming finite generation in dimension n − 1, we prove that pl-flips exist in dimension n.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold X with a mirror Y admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles and that the moduli space of such cycles together with their flat connections is precisely the space Y.

TL;DR: This synthesis presents a multistep screening process to evaluate candidate loci for inclusion in a genetic study that is broadly targeted to both novice and experienced geneticists alike and aims to encourage the use and consistent reporting of thorough marker screening to ensure high quality data.
Abstract: Recent improvements in genetic analysis and genotyping methods have resulted in a rapid expansion of the power of molecular markers to address ecological questions. Microsatellites have emerged as the most popular and versatile marker type for ecological applications. The rise of commercial services that can isolate microsatellites for new study species and genotype samples at reasonable prices presents ecologists with the unprecedented ability to employ genetic approaches without heavy investment in specialized equipment. Nevertheless, the lack of accessible, synthesized information on the practicalities and pitfalls of using genetic tools impedes ecologists ability to make informed decisions on using molecular approaches and creates the risk that some will use microsatellites without understanding the steps needed to evaluate the quality of a genetic data set. The first goal of this synthesis is to provide an overview of the strengths and limitations of microsatellite markers and the risks, cost and time requirements of isolating and using microsatellites with the aid of commercial services. The second goal is to encourage the use and consistent reporting of thorough marker screening to ensure high quality data. To that end, we present a multistep screening process to evaluate candidate loci for inclusion in a genetic study that is broadly targeted to both novice and experienced geneticists alike.
