    Study of radiation damage and substrate resistivity effects from beam test of silicon microstrip detectors using LHC readout electronics

    No full text
    We present the beam test results of single-sided silicon microstrip detectors, with different substrate resistivities. The effects of radiation damage are studied for a detector irradiated to a fluence of 2.4 x 10(14) n/cm(2). The detectors are read out with the APV6 chip, which is compatible with the 40 MHz LHC clock, The performance of different detectors and readout modes are studied in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and efficiency.

    MPOSE2021: a Dataset for Short-Time Pose-Based Human Action Recognition

    No full text
    This repository contains the MPOSE2021 Dataset for short-time pose-based Human Action Recognition (HAR). MPOSE2021 is specifically designed to perform short-time Human Action Recognition. MPOSE2021 is developed as an evolution of the MPOSE Dataset [1-3]. It is made by human pose data detected by OpenPose [4] and Posenet [11] on popular datasets for HAR, i.e. Weizmann [5], i3DPost [6], IXMAS [7], KTH [8], UTKinetic-Action3D (RGB only) [9] and UTD-MHAD (RGB only) [10], alongside original video datasets, i.e. ISLD and ISLD-Additional-Sequences [1]. Since these datasets have heterogenous action labels, each dataset labels are remapped to a common and homogeneous list of actions. Generated sequences have a number of frames between 20 and 30. Sequences are obtained by cutting the so-called Precursor videos (video from the above-mentioned datasets), with non-overlapping sliding windows. Frames where OpenPose/PoseNet cannot detect any subject are automatically discarded. Resulting samples contain one subject at the time, performing a fraction of a single action. Overall, MPOSE2021 contains 15429 samples, divided into 20 actions, performed by 100 subjects. More information about the dataset can be found in the MPOSE2021 repository, also providing a user-friendly Python package to import and use the dataset by just running the command pip install mpose Data Structure The repository contains 3 datasets for each pose extractor (namely 1, 2 and 3) which consist of the same data divided in different train/test splits. Each dataset contains X and y numpy arrays for both training and testing. X has the following shape: (B, T, K, C) where B is the batch number; T (= 30) is the duration of the sequences in frames (zero-padded in the case of shorter sequences); K (= 17 for PoseNet and 25 for OpenPose) is the number of pose keypoints; C (= 3) is the number of channels, comprehending 2D keypoint coordinates (x,y) in the original video reference frame and the keypoint confidence (p <= 1) The .txt files specifying the metadata associated with the split samples are also included.
