    Random sampling and model competition for guaranteed multiple consensus sets estimation

    No full text
    Robust extraction of consensus sets from noisy data is a fundamental problem in robot vision. Existing multimodel estimation algorithms have shown success on large consensus sets estimations. One remaining challenge is to extract small consensus sets in cluttered multimodel data set. In this article, we present an effective multimodel extraction method to solve this challenge. Our technique is based on smallest consensus set random sampling, which we prove can guarantee to extract all consensus sets larger than the smallest set from input data. We then develop an efficient model competition scheme that iteratively removes redundant and incorrect model samplings. Extensive experiments on both synthetic data and real data with high percentage of outliers and multimodel intersections demonstrate the superiority of our method

    Improvement of Surimi Gel from Frozen-Stored Silver Carp

    No full text
    Silver Carp (SC) is an under-utilized, invasive species in North American river systems. In this study, the synergistic effects of manufactured Microfiber (MMF), Transglutaminase (TG), and chicken skin collagen (CLG)) to enhance surimi gel quality from frozen SC were studied. The gel strength, textural properties, rheological properties, water-holding capacity (WHC), water mobility, microstructure, and protein composition of the gel samples were determined to assess the impact of the additives individually and synergistically. The results suggested that TG had the most pronounced effect on the surimi gel properties by promoting protein cross-linking. Synergistic effects between TG, MMF, and CLG can bring effective gel property enhancement larger than the individual effect of each additive alone. With the established response-surface models, the combination of CLG and MMF can be optimized to produce surimi gels with less TG but comparable in properties to that of the optimal result with high TG usage. The findings of this study provided a technical foundation for making high-quality surimi gel products out of frozen-stored SC with synergistic utilization of additives, which could serve as guidelines for the industrial development of new surimi products.This article is published as Yang, Jingyi, Xiliang Yu, Xiuping Dong, and Chenxu Yu.

    Multiple-Layer Visibility Propagation-Based Synthetic Aperture Imaging through Occlusion

    No full text
    Publisher's PDFHeavy occlusions in cluttered scenes impose significant challenges to many computer vision applications. Recent light field imaging systems provide new see-through capabilities through synthetic aperture imaging (SAI) to overcome the occlusion problem. Existing synthetic aperture imaging methods, however, emulate focusing at a specific depth layer, but are incapable of producing an all-in-focus see-through image. Alternative in-painting algorithms can generate visually-plausible results, but cannot guarantee the correctness of the results. In this paper, we present a novel depth-free all-in-focus SAI technique based on light field visibility analysis. Specifically, we partition the scene into multiple visibility layers to directly deal with layer-wise occlusion and apply an optimization framework to propagate the visibility information between multiple layers. On each layer, visibility and optimal focus depth estimation is formulated as a multiple-label energy minimization problem. The layer-wise energy integrates all of the visibility masks from its previous layers, multi-view intensity consistency and depth smoothness constraint together. We compare our method with state-of-the-art solutions, and extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our approach.University of Delaware.

    Model Checking Quantum Continuous-Time Markov Chains

    No full text
    Verifying quantum systems has attracted a lot of interests in the last decades. In this paper, we initialise the model checking of quantum continuous-time Markov chain (QCTMC). As a real-time system, we specify the temporal properties on QCTMC by signal temporal logic (STL). To effectively check the atomic propositions in STL, we develop a state-of-the-art real root isolation algorithm under Schanuel’s conjecture; further, we check the general STL formula by interval operations with a bottom-up fashion, whose query complexity turns out to be linear in the size of the input formula by calling the real root isolation algorithm. A running example of an open quantum walk is provided to demonstrate our method
