Factored Facade Acquisition using Symmetric Line Arrangements

Mark Pauly, Hao Li, Duygu Ceylan

We introduce a novel framework for image-based 3D reconstruction of urban buildings based on symmetry priors. Starting from image-level edges, we generate a sparse and approximate set of consistent 3D lines. These lines are then used to simultaneously dete ...

A Genetic Basis for Altered Sexual Behavior in Mutant Female Mice

Denis Duboule, Jozsef Zakany

Although neural substrates of mammalian female mating behavior have been described [1, 2], the association between complex courtship activity and specific underlying mechanisms remains elusive [3]. We have isolated a mouse line that unexpectedly shows alte ...

Extreme rainfall in West Africa: A regional modeling

Juliette Ferial Blanchet, Adnan Ali

In a world of increasing exposure of populations to natural hazards, the mapping of extreme rainfall remains a key subject of study. Such maps are required for both flood risk management and civil engineering structure design, the challenge being to take i ...

Predicting variability in the dynamic failure strength of brittle materials considering pre-existing flaws

Jean-François Molinari

We perform two-dimensional dynamic fracture simulations of a specimen in biaxial tension, incorporating various distributions of pre-existing microcracks. The simulations consider the spatial distribution of flaws while modeling the discrete failure proces ...

Robust Value at Risk Prediction

Loriano Mancini, Fabio Trojani

This paper proposes a robust semiparametric bootstrap method to estimate predictive distributions of GARCH-type models. The method is based on a robust estimation of parametric GARCH models and a robustified resampling scheme for GARCH residuals that contr ...

A new analysis method for paired comparison and its application to 3D quality assessment

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jong Seok Lee, Lutz Goldmann

Among various subjective quality evaluation methodologies, paired comparison has the advantage of improved simplicity of the subjects’ evaluation task due to simplified rating scales and direct comparison of two stimuli. Thus, it may lead to more reliable ...

On large deviations for the parabolic Anderson model

Thomas Mountford, Damien Gauthier, Michael Cranston

The focus of this article is on the different behavior of large deviations of random functionals associated with the parabolic Anderson model above the mean versus large deviations below the mean. The functionals we treat are the solution u(x, t) to the sp ...

Traj-ARIMA: A Spatial-Time Series Model for Network-Constrained Trajectory

Zhixian Yan

Trajectory data play an important role in analyzing real world applications that involve movement features, e.g. natural and social phenomena such as bird migration, transportation management, urban planning and tourism analysis. Such trajectory data are a ...

On Large Deviation Regimes For Random Media Models

Thomas Mountford, Damien Gauthier, Michael Cranston

The focus of this article is on the different behavior of large deviations of random subadditive functionals above the mean versus large deviations below the mean in two random media models. We consider the point-to-point first passage percolation time a(n ...

Consistent Cooperative Localization

Alexander Bahr

In cooperative navigation, teams of mobile robots obtain range and/or angle measurements to each other and dead-reckoning information to help each other navigate more accurately. One typical approach is moving baseline navigation, in which multiple Autonom ...
