The filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm is viewed as a preferred candidate for general bistatic synthetic aperture radar (BiSAR) imaging since it does not pose any restrictions on SAR configurations or flight paths. However, high-efficient autofocus methods such as phase gradient autofocus (PGA) or Mapdrift (MD) cannot be effectively integrated with the FBP algorithm due to the unknown propert

Existing state-of-the-art estimation systems can detect 2d poses of multiple people in images quite reliably. In contrast, 3d pose estimation from a single image is ill-posed due to occlusion and depth ambiguities. Assuming access to multiple cameras, or given an active system able to position itself to observe the scene from multiple viewpoints, reconstructing 3d pose from 2d measurements becomes

The Paris Agreement establishes a transparency framework for anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It's core component are inventory-based national greenhouse gas emission reports, which are complemented by independent estimates derived from atmospheric CO2 measurements combined with inverse modelling. It is, however, not known whether such a Monitoring and Verification Support (MVS) capac

Speaker localization using microphone arrays depends on accurate time delay estimation techniques. For decades, methods based on the generalized cross correlation with phase transform (GCC-PHAT) have been widely adopted for this purpose. Recently, the GCC-PHAT has also been used to provide input features to neural networks in order to remove the effects of noise and reverberation, but at the cost

Joint time-frequency representations are important tools when estimating the instantaneous frequency. The widely used spectrogram is known to have poor energy localisation, which the reassignment method improves. However, the reassignment method is sensitive to noise. In this paper we present a multitaper reassigned spectrogram (MTRS) that is robust to noise and tailored to short duration transien

The underwater localization of a broadband target in the presence of strong interference and noise has been widely investigated. A novel clutter suppression approach based on oblique projections is proposed, exploiting the prior information of the expected target response. The method uses a generalised likelihood ratio formulation to select the oblique projection best matching the measured data. T

This paper introduces the first minimal solvers that jointly estimate lens distortion and affine rectification from repetitions of rigidly-transformed coplanar local features. The proposed solvers incorporate lens distortion into the camera model and extend accurate rectification to wide-angle images that contain nearly any type of coplanar repeated content. We demonstrate a principled approach to

Recent advances in robust self-calibration have made it possible to estimate microphone positions and at least partial sound source positions using ambient sound. However, there are limits on how well sound source paths can be recovered using state-of-the-art techniques. In this paper we develop and evaluate several techniques to extend partial and incomplete solutions. We present minimal solvers

A wide range of medical examinations are using analysis of images from different types of equipment. Using artificial intelligence, the assessments could be done automatically. This can have multiple benefits for the healthcare; reduce workload for medical doctors, decrease variations in diagnoses and cut waiting times for the patient as well as improve the performance. The aim of this thesis has

3D human pose and shape estimation plays a vital role in many computer vision applications. There are many deep learning based methods attempting to solve the problem only relying on single-view RGB images for training the network. However, since some public datasets are captured from multi-view cameras system, we propose a novel method to tackle the problem by putting optimization-based multi-vie

For decades, measured ice crystal number concentrations have been found to be orders of magnitude higher than measured ice-nucleating particle number concentrations in moderately cold clouds. This observed discrepancy reveals the existence of secondary ice production (SIP) in addition to the primary ice nucleation. However, the importance of SIP relative to primary ice nucleation remains highly un

3D human body reconstruction from monocular images has wide applications in our life, such as movie, animation, Virtual/Augmented Reality, medical research and so on. Due to the high freedom of human body in real scene and the ambiguity of inferring 3D objects from 2D images, it is a challenging task to accurately recover 3D human body models from images. In this thesis, we explore the methods for

Emerging fine-grained cloud resource billing creates incentives to review the software execution footprint in virtual environments. Operators can use novel virtual execution environments with ever lower overhead: from virtual machines to containers, to unikernels and serverless functions. However, the execution footprint of security mechanisms in virtualized deployments has either remained the sam

We compare classic scalar temporal difference learning with three new distributional algorithms for playing the game of 5-in-a-row using deep neural networks: distributional temporal difference learning with constant learning rate, and two distributional temporal difference algorithms with adaptive learning rate. All these algorithms are applicable to any two-player deterministic zero sum game and

Along with the rapid development of cloud computing technology, containerization technology has drawn much attention from both industry and academia. In this paper, we perform a comparative measurement analysis of Docker-sec, which is a Linux Security Module proposed in 2018, and a new AppArmor profile generator called Lic-Sec, which combines Docker-sec with a modified version of LiCShield, which

The task of reconstructing detailed 3D human body models from images is interesting but challenging in computer vision due to the high freedom of human bodies. This work proposes a coarse-to-fine method to reconstruct detailed 3D human body from multi-view images combining Voxel Super-Resolution (VSR) based on learning the implicit representation. Firstly, the coarse 3D models are estimated by lea

Understanding the loss surface of neural networks is essential for the design of models with predictable performance and their success in applications. Experimental results suggest that sufficiently deep and wide neural networks are not negatively impacted by suboptimal local minima. Despite recent progress, the reason for this outcome is not fully understood. Could deep networks have very few, if
