The Halos and Environments of Nearby Galaxies (HERON) survey IV. Complexity in the boxy galaxies NGC720 and NGC2768

The shapes of galaxies, their outer regions in particular, are important guideposts to their formation and evolution. In this work, we report on the discovery of strongly box-shaped morphologies of the otherwise well-studied elliptical and lenticular galax ...

Adversarial Parametric Pose Prior

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Anastasia Remizova, Andrey Davydov, Victor Constantin, Sina Honari

The Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) model represents human bodies by mapping pose and shape parameters to body meshes. However, not all pose and shape parameter values yield physically-plausible or even realistic body meshes. In other words, SMPL is und ...

Information content and aerosol property retrieval potential for different types of in situ polar nephelometer data

Alireza Moallemi, Robin Lewis Modini, Philippe Giaccari

Polar nephelometers are in situ instruments used to measure the angular distribution of light scattered by aerosol particles. These types of measurements contain substantial information about the properties of the aerosol being probed (e.g. concentrations, ...

Differentiable Signed Distance Function Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Delio Aleardo Vicini, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer

Physically-based differentiable rendering has recently emerged as an attractive new technique for solving inverse problems that recover complete 3D scene representations from images. The inversion of shape parameters is of particular interest but also pose ...

Practical issues with modeling extreme Brazilian rainfall

Anthony Christopher Davison, Isolde Santos Previdelli, Paulo Vitor Da Costa Pereira

Accurately quantifying extreme rainfall is important for the design of hydraulic structures, for flood mapping and zoning and for disaster management. In order to produce maps of estimates of 25-year rainfall return levels in Brazil, we selected 893 shorte ...

Adaptive Approximation of Shapes

We consider scalar-valued shape functionals on sets of shapes which are small perturbations of a reference shape. The shapes are described by parameterizations and their closeness is induced by a Hilbert space structure on the parameter domain. We justify ...

Does jackknife scale really matter for accurate large-scale structure covariances?

Ginevra Favole

The jackknife method gives an internal covariance estimate for large-scale structure surveys and allows model-independent errors on cosmological parameters. Using the SDSS-III BOSS CMASS sample, we study how the jackknife size and number of resamplings imp ...

A non-intrusive multifidelity method for the reduced order modeling of nonlinear problems

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Mariella Kast, Mengwu Guo

We propose a non-intrusive reduced basis (RB) method for parametrized nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that leverages models of different accuracy. From a collection of low-fidelity (LF) snapshots, parameter locations are extracted for the e ...

Improved modelling of a monomorph piezoelectric actuator for linear self-sensing applications

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson

Based on a previous approach for the modelling of piezoelectric monomorph benders, a new, more complete, analytical model is proposed. Some previously neglected features of the actuator stack, notably the thickness of the electrodes and the presence of iso ...

Contact process under renewals I

We investigate a non-Markovian analogue of the Harris contact process in Z(d): an individual is attached to each site x is an element of Z(d), and it can be infected or healthy; the infection propagates to healthy neighbours just as in the usual contact pr ...
