In order to minimize the influence of decorrelation noise on multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MT-InSAR) applications, a series of phase reconstruction methods have been proposed in recent years.Unfortunately, current phase reconstruction methods generally exhibit a low computational efficiency due to their high non-linearity
Fitness for Service and Reliability of Materials for Manufacturing Components Intended for Demanding Service Conditions in the Petrochemical Industry
A methodology has been developed to quantitatively assess the suitability of use and fitness for service of candidate materials using a novel approach that includes multiple perspectives.As a case study, a carbon steel pipe has been selected for operation in the petrochemical sector.The materials studied were the following: American Petroleum Insti
Looking at reality versus watching screens: Media professionalization effects on the spontaneous eyeblink rate.
This article explores whether there are differences in visual perception of narrative between theatrical performances and screens, and whether media professionalization affects visual perception.We created a live theatrical stimulus and three audio-visual stimuli (each one with a different video editing style) having the same narrative, and display
A Modular System for Detection, Tracking and Analysis of Human Faces in Thermal Infrared Recordings
We present a system that utilizes a range of image processing algorithms to allow fully automated thermal face analysis under both laboratory and real-world conditions.We implement methods for face detection, facial landmark detection, face frontalization and analysis, combining all of these into Cookie Sheets a fully automated workflow.The system
