We propose a robust and accurate method for estimating the 3D poses of two hands in close interaction from single color image. This is very challenging problem, as large occlusions many confusions between joints may happen. State-of-the-art methods solve this problem by regressing heatmap each joint, which requires solving problems simultaneously: localizing recognizing them. In work, we to separate these tasks relying on CNN first localize 2D keypoints, self-attention features at keypoints...

Nanofiltration (NF) rejected effluent from TATA Steel, India having high concentration of chloride, sodium, potassium, manganese, magnesium, sulphate, calcium and iron was treated by electrocoagulation (EC) followed microfiltration (MF) process. Ceramic membranes were prepared Linz-Donawitz (LD) slag obtained Tata Steel Ltd, utilised for the separation electro-coagulated by-product. LD is a byproduct process which constantly produced as pig processed into crude steel. EC studied at various...

This project aims to develop an affordable and portable heart rate monitoring device using Arduino Uno microcontroller a pulse sensor, overcoming the limitations of current solutions like fitness trackers medical equipment. Fitness can be costly lack customization, while medical-grade devices are bulky designed for clinical use, making them impractical daily wear. The proposed system integrates Uno, sensor capture data, LED visual feedback, breadboard assembly. processes analog signals from...

We explore how a general AI algorithm can be used for 3D scene understanding to reduce the need training data. More exactly, we propose modification of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) retrieve objects and room layouts from noisy RGB-D scans. While MCTS was developed as game-playing algorithm, show it also complex perception problems. Our adapted has few easy-to-tune hyperparameters optimise losses. use posterior probability layout hypotheses given This results in an analysis-by-synthesis...

To explore blast furnace slag as a secondary resource for rare earth elements (REEs), containing lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), erbium (Er) and neodymium (Nd) in concentrations of 17, 16, 4 44 ppm, respectively, was processed with sulfuric acid while optimizing the parameters concentration, temperature pulp density. The experiments showed that recovery rates 92, 36, 35 52 percent La, Ce, Nd Er, were achieved at 1 to 5 weight/volume (w/v) density using particles smaller than 250 µm treating M...

DC-DC power supplies are used in almost every sphere of engineering like PC/laptop, chargers, spacecraft, HVDC transmission etc. A steady source voltage is required irrespective any changes line, load condition & parametric uncertainties for their application. The state behaviour converter can be explained by the topology and controller has taken an important role maintaining accurate transient, i.e. dynamic performance. boost a dynamically shifting right- half plane (RHP) zero converters...

Face Recognition is one of the major research areas in Computer Vision. Researchers have applied many image processing techniques and neural networks for problem but still not able to achieve desired accuracy all kinds data. This work presents a hybrid approach by combining output two different artificial PCA-ANN LDA-ANN. For any given face image, feature extraction been obtain representation using interest point edge detectors, namely, Harris, SIFT, Canny Laplacian Gaussian. Principal...

HO-3D is a dataset providing image sequences of various hand-object interaction scenarios annotated with the 3D pose hand and object was originally introduced as HO-3D_v2. The annotations were obtained automatically using an optimization method, 'HOnnotate', in original paper. HO-3D_v3 provides more accurate for both poses thus resulting better estimates contact regions between object. In this report, we elaborate on improvements to HOnnotate method provide evaluations compare accuracy...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) signal comprises physiological information related to cardiorespiratory health. High-quality PPG signals are necessary extract cardiores-piratory accurately. Motion artifacts can easily corrupt due human locomotion, leading noise enriched, poor quality signals. Several rule-based and Machine-Learning (ML) - based approaches for estimation available, but those algorithms' efficacy is questionable. So, the authors propose a lightweight CNN architecture assessment by...

Ferrite transformation start modelled with approach that considers early growth corner nucleated ferrite. Bainite related to critical driving pressure. Both ferrite and bainite reactions are...

Automated biomedical image segmentation is one of the major research area. In this work an integrated approach has been developed for automated segmentation. Level set method employed algorithm needs to be configured appropriately i.e. its parameters should properly adjusted. Manual participation sometimes required proper adjustment these values. To overcome issue, a fuzzy clustering initial The controlling level can computed using method. This enhances efficiency

Building 3D scene graphs has recently emerged as a topic in representation for several embodied AI applications to represent the world structured and rich manner. With their increased use solving downstream tasks (e.g., navigation room rearrangement), can we leverage recycle them creating maps of environments, pivotal step agent operation? We focus on fundamental problem aligning pairs whose overlap range from zero partial contain arbitrary changes. propose SGAligner, first method that is...

Authors describe the circuital aspect of a cheap, multimodal electrochemical potentiostat based on 'off-the-shelf' components. The device can do commonly available electro-analytical techniques like linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), chronoamperometry (CA), square wave (SWV), and cyclic (CV). has matching results with market potentiostats. Operating range current voltage (±1μA-150 μA, ±1.5V) system are reduced than commercial potentiostats, but its functional scope closely relates most analyses...
