This paper presents an interactive technique that
produces static hairstyles by generating individual hair strands
of the desired shape and color, subject to the presence of gravity
and collisions. A variety of hairstyles can be generated by
adjusting the wisp parameters, while the deformation is solved
efficiently, accounting for the effects of gravity and collisions.
Wisps are generated employing statistical approaches. As for
hair deformation, we propose a method which is based on
physical simulation concepts but is simplified to efficiently
solve the static shape of hair. On top of the statistical wisp
model and the deformation solver, a constraint-based styler
is proposed to model artificial features that oppose the natural
flow of hair under gravity and hair elasticity, such as a hairpin.
Our technique spans a wider range of human hairstyles than
previously proposed methods, and the styles generated by this
technique are fairly realistic.
The source code for this package is located in src/gov/nist/sip/proxy. The proxy
is a pure JAIN-SIP application: it does not need proprietary nist-sip
classes in addition of those defined in JAIN-SIP 1.1, you can substitute
the NIST-SIP stack by another JAIN-SIP-1.1 compliant stack and it should
interoperate.
he proxy can act as presence server and be able to process NOTIFY and
SUBSCRIBE requests. If this parameter is disabled, the proxy will simply
forward those kind of requests following the appropriate routing decision.
We address the problem of blind carrier frequency-offset (CFO) estimation in quadrature amplitude modulation,
phase-shift keying, and pulse amplitude modulation
communications systems.We study the performance of a standard
CFO estimate, which consists of first raising the received signal to
the Mth power, where M is an integer depending on the type and
size of the symbol constellation, and then applying the nonlinear
least squares (NLLS) estimation approach. At low signal-to noise
ratio (SNR), the NLLS method fails to provide an accurate CFO
estimate because of the presence of outliers. In this letter, we derive
an approximate closed-form expression for the outlier probability.
This enables us to predict the mean-square error (MSE) on CFO
estimation for all SNR values. For a given SNR, the new results
also give insight into the minimum number of samples required in
the CFO estimation procedure, in order to ensure that the MSE
on estimation is not significantly affected by the outliers.
Analytical constant-modulus algorithm, to separate linear combinations of CM sourcesThe algorithm
is robust in the presence of noise, and is tested on measured data,
collected from an experimental set-up.
A new PLL topology and a new simplified linear model are presented. The new fractional-N synthesizer presents no reference spurs and lowers the overall phase noise, thanks to the presence of a SampleJHold block. With a new simulation methodology it is possible to perform very accurate simulations, whose results match closely those obtained with the linear PLL model developed.
Sequential Monte Carlo without Likelihoods
粒子濾波不用似然函數的情況下
本文摘要:Recent new methods in Bayesian simulation have provided ways of evaluating posterior distributions
in the presence of analytically or computationally intractable likelihood functions.
Despite representing a substantial methodological advance, existing methods based on rejection
sampling or Markov chain Monte Carlo can be highly inefficient, and accordingly
require far more iterations than may be practical to implement. Here we propose a sequential
Monte Carlo sampler that convincingly overcomes these inefficiencies. We demonstrate
its implementation through an epidemiological study of the transmission rate of tuberculosis.
We describe and demonstrate an algorithm that takes as input an
unorganized set of points fx1 xng IR3 on or near an unknown
manifold M, and produces as output a simplicial surface that
approximates M. Neither the topology, the presence of boundaries,
nor the geometry of M are assumed to be known in advance — all
are inferred automatically from the data. This problem naturally
arises in a variety of practical situations such as range scanning
an object from multiple view points, recovery of biological shapes
from two-dimensional slices, and interactive surface sketching.
The System Management BIOS Reference Specification addresses how motherboard and system vendors present
management information about their products in a standard format by extending the BIOS interface on Intel
architecture systems. The information is intended to allow generic instrumentation to deliver this data to
management applications that use CIM (the WBEM data model) or direct access and eliminates the need for error
prone operations like probing system hardware for presence detection.
