Efficient Model-based 3D Tracking by Using Direct Image RegistrationEnrique Muñoz Corral
This thesis deals with the problem of efficiently tracking 3D objects in sequences of images. We tackle the efficient 3D tracking problem by using direct image registration. This problem is posed as an iterative optimization procedure that minimizes a brightness error norm. We review the most popular iterative methods for image registration in the literature, turning our attention to those algorithms that use efficient optimization techniques. Two forms of efficient registration algorithms are investigated. The first type comprises the additive registration algorithms: these algorithms incrementally compute the motion parameters by linearly approximating the brightness error function. We centre our attention on Hager and Belhumeur’s factorization-based algorithm for image registration. We propose a fundamental requirement that factorization-based algorithms must satisfy to guarantee good convergence, and introduce a systematic procedure that automatically computes the factorization. Finally, we also bring out two warp functions to register rigid and nonrigid 3D targets that satisfy the requirement. The second type comprises the compositional registration algorithms, where the brightness function error is written by using function composition. We study the current approaches to compositional image alignment, and we emphasize the importance of the Inverse Compositional method, which is known to be the most efficient image registration algorithm. We introduce a new algorithm, the Efficient Forward Compositional image registration: this algorithm avoids the necessity of inverting the warping function, and provides a new interpretation of the working mechanisms of the inverse compositional alignment. By using this information, we propose two fundamental requirements that guarantee the convergence of compositional image registration methods. Finally, we support our claims by using extensive experimental testing with synthetic and real-world data. We propose a distinction between image registration and tracking when using efficient algorithms. We show that, depending whether the fundamental requirements are hold, some efficient algorithms are eligible for image registration but not for tracking.
The document summarizes a proposed 2 minute horror/thriller film opening. It will tell the story of a child who is woken up by strange noises in the night. When they investigate, they cannot find the source of the noise. They call for their mother, but discover her bedroom is empty. A voice impersonating their mother calls from downstairs, pursuing the child and increasing the tension and suspense. The target audience is 15 and older. It will use common horror conventions like dark lighting, slow pacing and a cliffhanger ending to intrigue audiences. The film will be set primarily in the house at night to create an eerie atmosphere.

Makalah ini membahas pentingnya istighfar (memohon ampunan) dan taubat kepada Allah sebagai salah satu kunci utama mendapatkan rizki. Istighfar dan taubat sejati melibatkan meninggalkan dosa, menyesali dosa masa lalu, dan bertekad untuk tidak mengulanginya. Makalah ini juga menjelaskan beberapa dalil Al-Quran dan hadits tentang hubungan antara istighfar, taubat, dan mendapat
O documento discute os imensos desafios relacionados aos recursos hídricos no mundo. Apenas 2,5% da água do planeta é doce e disponível para uso humano, mas a demanda por água vem crescendo rapidamente devido ao aumento populacional e da agricultura. Isso pode levar a conflitos por água entre países e dentro dos próprios países. Além disso, a falta de acesso à água potável e saneamento básico causa milhões de mortes a cada ano e é um grande problema de saúde pública

The document discusses the present continuous tense in English. It is used to describe actions that are happening now, actions that are repeated frequently, or actions that will happen in the near future. The structure includes using a form of to be (am/are/is) plus the main verb ending in "-ing" for affirmative sentences, placing "not" between to be and the "-ing" verb for negative sentences, and changing the subject and to be order for interrogative sentences.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
