Impromptu conservation: Symbiosis between tangible and intangible. The case of Thua Thiên Hue, Viet Nam

Despite its evolution over the past two centuries, heritage preservation has stayed primarily a top-down retrospective act with a material bias that entails a separation between tangible and intangible, nature and culture, especially within the postcolonia ...

Mies Comes to Greece: A. James Speyer at NTUA

Vasileios Chanis

Between 1957 and 1960, A. James Speyer served as a Fulbright visiting professor at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in the Faculty of Architecture. The Fulbright program was established to foster mutual understanding across the world, and ...

In Flagranti

Alexandre Blanc, Marco Bakker

The real now, which has a duration of about 3 seconds, is the moment in which what happened glides in to the past and becomes already history, whereas the future did not yet arrive. The real now and architecture. ...

Wide-Baseline Foreground Object Interpolation Using Silhouette Shape Prior

Pascal Frossard, Christophe De Vleeschouwer, Thomas Maugey

We consider the synthesis of intermediate views of an object captured by two widely spaced and calibrated cameras. This problem is challenging because foreshortening effects and occlusions induce significant differences between the reference images when th ...

A Novel Representation of Parts for Accurate 3D Object Detection and Tracking in Monocular Images

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Kwang Moo Yi, Alberto Crivellaro, Yannick Verdie, Mahdi Rad

We present a method that estimates in real-time and under challenging conditions the 3D pose of a known object. Our method relies only on grayscale images since depth cameras fail on metallic objects; it can handle poorly textured objects, and cluttered, c ...

On Rendering Synthetic Images for Training an Object Detector

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Artem Rozantsev

We propose a novel approach to synthesizing images that are effective for training object detectors. Starting from a small set of real images, our algorithm estimates the rendering parameters required to synthesize similar images given a coarse 3D model of ...

Linearizability Is Not Always a Safety Property

Rachid Guerraoui, Eric Ruppert

We show that, in contrast to the general belief in the distributed computing community, linearizability, the celebrated consistency property, is not always a safety property. More specifically, we give an object for which it is possible to have an infinite ...

ESS Instrument Construction Proposal CAMEA

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Paul Gregory Freeman

We propose the construction of a highly innovative spectrometer – CAMEA – offering Continuous Angular and Multiple Energy Analysis. Combining indirect time-of flight with multiple consecutive analyser arrays, this instrument will provide massive flux on th ...

CAMEA: Simulations and Kinematic Calculations

During the design of CAMEA extensive simulations and cinematic calculations were performed to explore the waste parameter space. These have led to a far better understanding of the instrument performance as well as new ideas to improve the instrument. Many ...

Nanoscale motion detector

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo

Motion detector comprising a flexible support (1,5) adapted to hold at least one object (6-9), a sensor (4) for measuring the displacement of said support (1) and processing means for differentiating the fluctuations of said support (1) from those induced ...
