Based on a parallel scalable library for Coulomb interactions in particle systems, comparison between the fast multipole method (FMM), multigrid-based methods, Fourier transform (FFT)-based and Maxwell solver is provided case of three-dimensional periodic boundary conditions. These methods are directly compared with respect to complexity, scalability, performance, accuracy. To ensure comparable conditions all cover typical applications, we tested same set computers using identical benchmark...

We introduce a framework for unconstrained 3D human upper body pose estimation from multiple camera views in complex environment. Its main novelty lies the integration of three components: single-frame recovery, temporal and model texture adaptation. Single-frame recovery consists hypothesis generation stage, which candidate poses are generated, based on probabilistic hierarchical shape matching each view. In subsequent verification re-projected into other ranked according to multi-view...

Based on the Langevin description of Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW), we consider a generalization CTRW in which waiting times between subsequent jumps are correlated. We discuss cases exponential and slowly decaying persistent power-law correlations as two generic examples obtain corresponding mean squared displacements functions time. In case exponential-type (sub)diffusion at short is slower than absence correlations. At long behavior displacement same uncorrelated CTRW. For find...

Abstract Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique that destroys cancer cells by heat. The heat results from focusing energy in the spectrum through needle. Amongst others, this can enable treatment of patients who are not eligible for an open surgery. However, possibility recurrent liver due to incomplete tumor makes post-interventional monitoring via regular follow-up scans mandatory. These have be carefully inspected any conspicuousness. Within study, RF...

Semantic segmentation is a task that traditionally requires large dataset of pixel-level ground truth labels, which time-consuming and expensive to obtain. Recent advancements in the weakly-supervised setting show reasonable performance can be obtained by using only image-level labels. Classification often used as proxy train deep neural network from attention maps are extracted. However, classification needs minimum evidence make predictions, hence it focuses on most discriminative object...
