GaitASMS: gait recognition by adaptive structured spatial representation and multi-scale temporal aggregation
No full textGait recognition is one of the most promising video-based biometric technologies. The edge of silhouettes and motion are the most informative feature and previous studies have explored them separately and achieved notable results. However, due to occlusions and variations in viewing angles, their gait recognition performance is often affected by the predefined spatial segmentation strategy. Moreover, traditional temporal pooling usually neglects distinctive temporal information in gait. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a novel gait recognition framework, denoted as GaitASMS, which can effectively extract the adaptive structured spatial representations and naturally aggregate the multi-scale temporal information. The Adaptive Structured Representation Extraction Module (ASRE) separates the edge of silhouettes by using the adaptive edge mask and maximizes the representation in semantic latent space. Moreover, the Multi-Scale Temporal Aggregation Module (MSTA) achieves effective modeling of long-short-range temporal information by temporally aggregated structure. Furthermore, we propose a new data augmentation, denoted random mask, to enrich the sample space of long-term occlusion and enhance the generalization of the model. Extensive experiments conducted on two datasets demonstrate the competitive advantage of proposed method, especially in complex scenes, i.e., BG and CL. On the CASIA-B dataset, GaitASMS achieves the average accuracy of 93.5% and outperforms the baseline on rank-1 accuracies by 3.4% and 6.3%, respectively, in BG and CL. The ablation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of ASRE and MSTA. The source code is available at https://github.com/YanSun-github/GaitASMS
Feng Shui Interior Design
No full textFeng shui has a long, diverse history in the lives of the people of China. Beginning with civilization, feng shui predates any known organized religion. Its principles seek to harmonize one\u27s environment with themselves and the rest of matter. It recognizes that humanity is another part of nature, the world. It does not inflate humanity, placing it above everything else.
Feng shui, relying on intuition and the feelings a certain space invokes, is now increasingly being utilized in the West. Westerners are learning to accept that abstraction can represent reality, and feng shui is becoming increasingly more prevalent.
How can one truly know if feng shui will work for them? Move some furniture, change some colors, add some plants and pets, and see what happens
Kolla procerula Feng & Zhang, sp. nov.
No full textKolla procerula Feng & Zhang sp. nov. (Figs. 1 I–L, 4 A–H) Description. Crown with large median semicircular black spot touching basal margin, apical margin with pair of large black submedial maculae and small median black spot; face dark yellow with distinct clypeal muscle impressions; pronotum and scutellum black except small apical area of scutellum yellow; forewing black except for narrow transparent yellow stripe along costal margin. Male pygofer with a group of macrosetae located posterodorsally and evenly distributed microsetae on disk; ventral process with fine microsetae distributed evenly on basal half, distal half slender, twisted, extending slightly beyond pygofer apex; plates each with inner margin slightly concave near midlength, outer margin oblique, with uniseriate macrosetae and densely covered by long fine setae; aedeagus evenly curved dorsad in lateral view, shaft with lobes small and acute in lateral view, with short protuberance between them in caudoventral view. Measurement. Length of male 5.4–5.6 mm. Material examined. Holotype: ♂, China, Hebei Province, Weixian, 20 June 2009, coll. Qin Daozheng; Paratypes: 1 ♂, China, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Liupanshan Mountain, 22 June 2008, coll. Meng Qiulei; 1 ♂, China, Gansu Province, Xinglong Mountain Nature Reserve, 27 July 2012, coll. Xue Qingquan. Remarks. This species is similar to K. atramentaria (Motschulsky, 1859), but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the different color pattern, less strongly produced head (Figs 1 I- 1 L), male plates densely covered by long fine setae (Figs 4 A, 4 B), and aedeagal shaft with lobes small and acute with a short protuberance between them (Fig. 4 G). Etymology. This new specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “procerulus”, referring to the short protuberance between two aedeagal shaft lobes.Published as part of Feng, Ling & Zhang, Yalin, 2015, Leafhopper genus Kolla Distant (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) with descriptions of four new species from China, pp. 430-438 in Zootaxa 3999 (3) on pages 435-436, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3999.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/23624

No full textFirst paragraph: The Frankfurt Buchmesse, or book fair, is the world’s largest publishing industry gathering, attracting thousands of exhibitors every October. On one level, it’s a business event focused on creating buzz for forthcoming bestsellers, trading rights and discussing industry developments. On another, it’s a public celebration of books and the values associated with them.https://theconversation.com/frankfurt-book-fair-cancelled-prize-ceremony-for-palestinian-author-is-part-of-a-long-history-of-political-zigzagging-21574
