CNN-Based Action Recognition and Pose Estimation for Classifying Animal Behavior from Videos: A Survey. arXiv:2301.06187. 2023 January; DOI: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2301.06187 Abstract Classifying the behavior of humans or animals from videos is important in biomedical fields for understanding brain function and response to stimuli. Action recognition, classifying activities performed by one or […]

Multi-Feature Matching of Fresco Fragments

Corey Toler-Franklin, Benedict Brown, Tim Weyrich, Thomas Funkhouser, Szymon Rusinkiewicz. ACM Transactions on Graphics (Proc. SIGGRAPH Asia), Seoul, Korea, December 2010. Abstract We present a multiple-feature approach for determining matches between small fragments of archaeological artifacts such as Bronze-Age and Roman frescoes. In contrast with traditional 2D and 3D shape matching approaches, we introduce a […]
