Qi∗, Yangyan Li, Leonidas J. Guibas Stanford University Abstract Object viewpoint estimation from 2D images is an ConvoluƟonal Neural Network essential task in computer vision. However, two issues hinder its progress: scarcity of training data with viewpoint annotations, and a lack of powerful features. Inspired by the growing availability of 3D models, we propose a framework to address both issues by combining render-based image synthesis and CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks). We believe that 3D models have the potential in generating a large number of images of high variation, which can be well exploited by deep CNN with a high learning capacity. Figure 1.

    Tube Convolutional Neural Network (T-CNN) for Action Detection in Videos Rui Hou, Chen Chen, Mubarak Shah Center for Research in Computer Vision (CRCV), University of Central Florida (UCF) [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Deep learning has been demonstrated to achieve excel- lent results for image classification and object detection.

The transformation of television that began with the VCR and gained significant momentum with TiVo is now accelerating dramatically with “on-demand” cable, video search and IPTV. Billions of dollars are at stake, and a complex and competitive landscape is also starting to emerge. It includes traditional media companies (News Corp., Viacom), Internet search engines and portals (America Online, Google, Yahoo!), telcos (BellSouth, SBC, Verizon) and the cable companies themselves (Comcast, Cox Communications). Why is all this happening now? While there was a great deal of hype in the 1990s about TV-Internet convergence, or “interactive TV,” previous attempts failed in part because of low broadband penetration, costly storage and inferior video-streaming technologies.

Various phenotyping approaches were developed to measure maize cob parameters in a high throughput fashion. More recently, deep learning methods like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) became available and were shown to be highly useful for high-throughput plant phenotyping. We aimed at comparing classical image segmentation with deep learning methods for maize cob image segmentation and phenotyping using a large image dataset of native maize landrace diversity from Peru. Results: Comparison of three image analysis methods showed that a Mask R-CNN trained on a diverse set of maize cob images was highly superior to classical image analysis using the Felzenszwalb-Huttenlocher algorithm and a Window-based CNN due to its robustness to image quality and object segmentation accuracy ( r = 0.99 ). We inte- grated Mask R-CNN into a high-throughput pipeline to segment both maize cobs and rulers in images and perform an automated quantitative analysis of eight phenotypic traits, including diameter, length, ellipticity, asymmetry, aspect ratio and average values of red, green and blue color channels for cob color. Statistical analysis identifed key training parameters for efcient iterative model updating.

  • History Early History
    Cable News Network, almost always referred to by its initialism CNN, is a U.S. cable newsnetwork founded in 1980 by Ted Turner.[1][2] Upon its launch, CNN was the first network to provide 24-hour television news coverage,[3] and the first all-news television network in the United States.[4]While the news network has numerous affiliates, CNN primarily broadcasts from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, the Time Warner Center in New York City, and studios in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. CNN is owned by parent company Time Warner, and the U.S. news network is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System.[5] CNN is sometimes referred to as CNN/U.S. to distinguish the North American channel from its international counterpart, CNN International. As of June 2008, CNN is available in over 93 million U.S. households.[6] Broadcast coverage extends to over 890,000 American hotel rooms,[6] and the U.S broadcast is also shown in Canada. Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories.[7] In terms of regular viewers (Nielsen ratings), CNN rates as the United States' number two cable news network and has the most unique viewers (Nielsen Cume Ratings).[8] History Early history CNN's first broadcast with David Walkerand Lois Hart on June 1, 1980. Main article: History of CNN: 1980-2003 The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday June 1, 1980. After an introduction by Ted Turner, the husband and wife team of David Walker and Lois Hart anchored the first newscast.[9] Since its debut, CNN has expanded its reach to a number of cable and satellite television networks, several web sites, specialized closed-circuit networks (such as CNN Airport Network), and a radio network.

  • Governing the “Spatial Reach”? Spheres of Influence and Challenges to Global Media Policy
    International Journal of Communication 1 (2007), 56-73 1932-8036/20070056 Governing the “Spatial Reach”? Spheres of Influence and Challenges to Global Media Policy INGRID VOLKMER University of Otago The advanced globalization process reveals not only new 'network' information infrastructures but new political terrains. Although communication theory has just commenced to debate new forms of 'public' discourse, it is of equal importance to address new emerging issues of information sovereignty within a transnational public space. The following article attempts to 'map' the arising spheres of 'sovereignty.' In the first part, the article develops the conceptual shift of 'sovereignty' as 'ontological spaces' which provide, in the second part, a framework of analysis of today's transnational political information flows. The advanced global communication process of the 21st century discloses new symbolic boundaries within a sophisticated globalized media sphere which constitute new layers of not only cultural but increasingly political relevance. It seems as if not only central values of ‘Western’ and ‘Moslem’ worlds indisputably collide but it has illustrated once more the powerful role of global mediated communication itself. In comparison to today’s complex multidimensional globalization process, things were refreshingly simple in McLuhan’s time in the early satellite age. The metaphor of the “Global Village” (McLuhan/Powers, 1989) was coined to describe the notion of a cultural ‘contraction’ of otherwise conflicted societies into a borderless homogenized world. Within the dusty boundaries of the Cold War time, of ‘iron curtains’ and walls raised to (physically!) separate ideological terrains, structured international relations in those days. Given this geopolitical context, McLuhan’s vision has been perceived as a truly liberating idea, liberating through the view on the world as a whole.

This is particularly due to their inability to control such devices from their inherent physical limitations after such an attack. More often than not, the control of such devices exploits electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the extraction of the features and the classification of the signals is non-trivial for a successful BCI system. The use of Transfer Learning (TL) has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool in the extraction of essential features. However, the employment of such a method towards BCI applications, particularly in regard to EEG signals, are somewhat limited. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different fi 13 October 2020 TL models in extracting features for the classi cation of wink-based EEG signals.
