Analyzing large-scale data from simulations of turbulent flows is memory intensive, requiring significant resources. This major challenge highlights the need for data compression techniques. In this study, we apply a physics-informed Deep Learning technique based on vector quantization to generate a discrete, low-dimensional representation of data from simulations of three-dimensional turbulent flows.

Several computer vision applications such as person search or online fashion rely on human description. The use of instance-level human parsing (HP) is therefore relevant since it localizes semantic attributes and body parts within a person. But how to characterize these attributes? To our knowledge, only some single-HP datasets describe attributes with some color, size and/or pattern characteristics. There is a lack of dataset for multi-HP in the wild with such characteristics.

We address 3D human pose and shape estimations from multi-view images. We use the SMPL body model, and regress the model parameters that best fit the shape and pose. To solve for the parameters, we first compute 3D joint positions from 2D joint estimations on images by using a linear algebraic triangulation. Then, we fit the 3D parametric body model to the 3D joints while imposing a bone orientation constraint between the 3D model and the corresponding body parts detected in the images.

Human pose estimation is a long-standing and challenging problem in computer vision. Many recent advancements in the field have relied on complex structure refinement and specific human joint graphical relations. However, progress has been saturated in terms of accuracy. Each time, new state-of-the-art approaches only improve accuracy by less than 0.3% in the MPII test set despite using complicated model structures.

Visual impairment is one of the most serious social and public health problems in the world, therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the image enhancement algorithms for the visually impaired, which is the basis for the development of assistive devices. In this paper, a general deep learning based image enhancement framework for the visually impaired is proposed, which can be used to enhance images to compensate for any visually impaired symptom that can be modeled.

Semantic image segmentation is an important functionality in various applications, such as robotic vision for autonomous cars, drones, etc. Modern Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) process input RGB images and predict per-pixel semantic classes. Depth maps have been successfully utilized to increase accuracy over RGB-only input. They can be used as an additional input channel complementing the RGB image, or they may be estimated by an extra neural branch under a multitask training setting.

In this study, a cyber-physical system (CPS) for river flow path control is proposed using reinforcement learning. Recently, there has been a frequent occurrence of river flooding due to heavy rains, resulting in serious economic losses and victims. One cause of river flooding is the meandering due to the river bed growing and flow path change. As a mean of avoiding the meandering, river groynes can be used to regularize the flow. However, the mechanism of the flow path growing, and its optimal control is unclear.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) often rely on GPS for navigation. GPS signals, however, are very low in power and easily jammed or otherwise disrupted. This paper presents a method for determining the navigation errors present at the beginning of a GPS-denied period utilizing data from a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system. This is accomplished by comparing an online-generated SAR image with a reference image obtained a priori.
