The document presents a method for automatic demonstration and feature selection for robot learning. It describes an experiment where a robot learns a task from user demonstrations of placing a green object on a red object. The method, called Dissimilarity Mapping Filtering (DMF), is able to correctly select the relevant demonstrations and features for the task. It identifies the last two demonstrations as incorrect and discards features related to the initial position of the green object as irrelevant. The results validate that DMF can accurately perform demonstration and feature selection to support robot learning.

User Friendly Virtual Clothes System Based on Simulation and Visualization us...IJMTST Journal
This document discusses a user-friendly virtual clothes system based on simulation and visualization using an RGBD camera. The system allows users to see themselves wearing different virtual clothes on a screen in real-time without changing their actual clothes. It works by capturing the user's body size and skin color using the camera to automatically generate an invisible avatar for proper clothes fitting and alignment. The system then simulates how the virtual clothes would look on the user's body from different angles as they move. It aims to help with online shopping and fashion recommendations by allowing users to try on virtual clothes without physically changing outfits.

USING SPECTRAL ESTIMATION TECHNIQUE AND ROUGH SET CLASSIFIER OF REGULAR PATTE...ijiert bestjournal
Fabric detection has an outstanding importance in inspection of fabric quality and defects. It
works on principle of spectral estimation technique vision. it gets bonded to locate defected
regions accurately. This project represented a most accepted method for patterned fabric defect
detection and classification using spectral estimation technique and rough set theory. To extract
the Regular pattern from the image of the patterned fabric, here use of Estimating Signal
Parameter via Rotational Invariance Technique (ESPRIT) is done. In this technique the defected
region i.e. the shape and location of the flawed areas are detected by comparing the pattern
image and the source image also the rough set classifier is trained and tested to detect the types
of defects in the patterned fabric image. Practically it is observed that this method can
successfully be used to analyze & find the defects in patterned fabrics with nearly 96% success
rate. This method is result oriented and better improving than previous method.
This document describes a method for detecting and identifying defects in textile fabrics using support vector machines (SVM). An image acquisition system captures images of fabric, which are then preprocessed using techniques like grayscale conversion, histogram equalization, and morphological operations to remove noise and segment defects. Features of segmented defects like size and shape are extracted. An SVM classifier is trained and used to classify defects in test images. The method aims to automate visual inspection of fabrics, which is currently done manually but is time-consuming and unreliable. The SVM approach achieves high identification rates for different types of common fabric defects.

This document summarizes an analysis of iris recognition based on false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) using the Hough transform. It first provides an overview of iris recognition and its typical stages: image acquisition, localization/segmentation, normalization, feature extraction, and pattern matching. It then describes existing methods used in each stage, including the Hough transform and rubber sheet model for localization and normalization. The proposed methodology applies Canny edge detection, Hough transform for boundary detection, normalization with the rubber sheet model, and calculates metrics like mean squared error, root mean squared error, signal-to-noise ratio, and root signal-to-noise ratio to evaluate the accuracy of iris recognition using FAR
This document presents a hand geometry recognition system that uses measurements of a user's hand to identify individuals. The system acquires an image of the user's hand, extracts features like finger widths and distances, and then classifies hands using various pattern recognition techniques, including Euclidean distance, Gaussian mixture models, and radial basis function neural networks. Experimental results showed the system achieved up to 97% classification success and error rates below 1% for verification. While not as distinctive as other biometrics, hand geometry recognition provides a low-cost and easy-to-use solution for medium security environments.

This document summarizes a study that characterized yarn diameter measured using different instruments. Several commercial instruments were used to measure yarn diameter including the Uster tester 4, Lawson Hemphill YAS system, QQM3, and optical microscope. The data obtained from these instruments was analyzed using the D-yarn program which found that yarn diameter often has a bimodal distribution, in contrast to Uster tester results that assume a normal distribution. Further analysis of test data from one yarn found significant differences between the Uster histogram and results from the D-yarn program, which fitted the data to a two Gaussian distribution revealing the bimodal nature of the yarn diameter.

Effect of count and stitch length on spirality of single jersey knit fabriceSAT Journals
Abstract
The following paper focuses on change in spirality due to stitch length and count variation .This work was carried out with 12 samples of single jersey knit fabrics which were scoured and bleached with NaOH and H2O2 (35% strength), dyed with reactive dye (Remazol Yellow RR reactive class) and were finished as standard procedure . After finishing the samples were tested for spirality and compared between different stitch length and count. The result obtained in this research indicated that spirality increases strongly due to increase of stitch length when count of yarn is fixed and on fixed stitch length spirality increases with the increment of count.
Keywords: Spirality, Count, Stitch length.
Effect of count and stitch length on spirality of single jersey knit fabriceSAT Publishing House
This study examined the effect of yarn count and stitch length on spirality in single jersey knit fabrics. 12 fabric samples were produced with variations in count (30-40 Ne) and stitch length (2.6-2.95 mm). The samples were tested for spirality after scouring, bleaching, dyeing and finishing. The results showed that spirality increased as stitch length increased due to more yarn twisting. Spirality also increased with higher yarn counts due to less fabric compactness and more loops available for twisting. In conclusion, using lower yarn counts and stitch lengths can help manufacturers reduce spirality issues in knitted fabrics.

This document summarizes research on characterizing yarn diameter using different measurement techniques. Several commercial instruments and laboratory methods are described that use optical, capacitive, or combined principles to measure yarn diameter and irregularity. Data from tests on various yarns using Uster Tester 4, QQM-3, and Lawson-Hemphill systems were analyzed using a MATLAB program. The program revealed the yarn diameter data was better characterized by a bimodal rather than normal distribution, highlighting limitations of some commercial instrument analyses. Further analysis of the bimodal data distribution provided more detailed information about yarn diameter characteristics.

Contour-based Pedestrian Detection with Foreground Distribution Trend Filteri...ITIIIndustries
In this work, we propose a real-time pedestrian detection method for crowded environments based on contour and motion information. Sparse contour templates of human shapes are first generated on the basis of a point distribution model (PDM), then a template matching step is applied to detect humans. To reduce the detecting time complexity and improve the detection accuracy, we propose to take the ratio and distribution trend of foreground pixels inside each detecting window into consideration. A tracking method is further applied to deal with the short-term occlusions and false alarms. The experimental results show that our method can efficiently detect pedestrians in videos of crowded scenes.

In the fields of sports and health sciences, changes in body shape are one of the most important parameters in order to evaluate the effects of physical training or routine workout performed. Until now, these parameters were typically measured under manually skilled techniques in anthropometry. The purposes of present study were to develop 3D anthropometry and to determine feasibility of the measurements such as lengths, circumferences, body surface area BSA and body or segment volumes with comparing to other conventional methods. The colour information was used to detect the position of land mark seals which was pasted on the skin according to the anatomical basis in human anthropometry. Anthropometric data as well as body surface area and body volume measured by using 3D body scanning technologies might be widely prospective for evaluating the differences or changes in body shape in such fields as health and sports sciences.

This document summarizes a student project on analyzing the effects of different parameters on spirality in single jersey knitted fabrics. The students measured spirality in fabrics produced under varying machine settings, yarn properties, and fabric constructions. Their results showed that spirality increases with stitch length, yarn count, and the product of count and stitch length. Spirality decreases with higher fabric GSM and tighter fabric construction as measured by tightness factor. Equations were also presented from previous research relating spirality to twist factor, tightness factor, and stitch length.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

TOWARDS ROBOTIC GARMENT FOLDING:
A VISION APPROACH FOR FOLD DETECTION
Folding clothes is a current trend in robotics. Previously to folding clothes, they have to be unfolded. It is not realistic to perform model-based unfolding, as every
garment has a different shape, size, color, texture, etc. In this paper we present a garment-agnostic algorithm to unfold clothes that works using 3D sensor
information. The depth information provided by the sensor is converted into a grayscale image. This image is segmented using watershed algorithm. This
algorithm provide us with labeled regions, each having a different height. In this labeled image, we assume that the highest height region belongs to the fold.
Starting on this region, and ending in the garment border, tentative paths are created in several directions to analyze the height profile. For each profile, a
bumpiness value is computed, and the lowest one is selected as the unfolding direction. A final extension on this line is performed to create a pick point on the
fold border, and a place point outside the garment. The proposed algorithm is tested with a small set of clothes in different positions.
