Aims. Within the framework of the COSMOGRAIL collaboration we present 7- and 8.5-year-long light curves and time-delay estimates for two gravitationally lensed quasars: SDSS J1206+4332 and HS 2209+1914. Methods. We monitored these doubly lensed quasars in ...
This thesis proposes a novel unified boosting framework. We apply this framework to the several face processing tasks, face detection, facial feature localisation, and pose classification, and use the same boosting algorithm and the same pool of features ( ...
We present a system for estimating location and orientation of a person’s head, from depth data acquired by a low quality device. Our approach is based on discriminative random regression forests: ensembles of random trees trained by splitting each node so ...
Compared to daily rainfall data, observed subdaily rainfall times are rare and often very short. For hydrologic modeling, this problem is often addressed by generating synthetic hourly rainfall series, with rainfall generators calibrated on relevant rainfa ...
A personalized measure for thermal comfort has been applied for use in combination with smart controls for building automation. Using data from a field study, we first show the superiority of personalized measures for thermal comfort compared to standard n ...
A simplified methodology for predicting the median and dispersion of collapse capacity of moment-resisting frame and shear wall structural systems subjected to seismic excitations is proposed. The method is based on nonlinear static (pushover) analysis. Si ...
The identification of reliable reaction and mass-transfer rates is important for building first-principles models of gas-liquid reaction systems. The identification of these rates involves the determination of a model structure (reaction stoichiometry, rat ...
In recent years nanotechnology has become an enabling technology for the development and fabrication of new innovative products. The growth of micro- and nano-manufacturing lies in the ability of converting micro- and nano-fabrication techniques into mass- ...
Assume a multichannel data matrix, which due to the column-wise dependencies, has low-rank and joint-sparse representation. This matrix wont have many degrees of freedom. Enormous developments over the last decade in areas of compressed sensing and low-ran ...
The present work addresses the problematic of forecasting impacts of climate change on future rainfall regimes and their consequences on urban stormwater infrastructures. Researches carried out allowed to develop an integrated framework for producing high ...
