Ingår i: 2021 IEEE/CVF INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION WORKSHOPS (ICCVW 2021). - : IEEE COMPUTER SOC. - 9781665401913 ; , s. 2711-2738

- The Visual Object Tracking challenge VOT2021 is the ninth annual tracker benchmarking activity organized by the VOT initiative. Results of 71 trackers are presented; many are state-of-the-art trackers published at major computer vision conferences or in journals in recent years. The VOT2021 challenge was composed of four sub-challenges focusing on different tracking domains: (i) VOT-ST2021 challenge focused on short-term tracking in RGB, (ii) VOT-RT2021 challenge focused on "real-time" short-term tracking in RGB, (iii) VOT-LT2021 focused on long-term tracking, namely coping with target disappearance and reappearance and (iv) VOT-RGBD2021 challenge focused on long-term tracking in RGB and depth imagery. The VOT-ST2021 dataset was refreshed, while VOT-RGBD2021 introduces a training dataset and sequestered dataset for winner identification. The source code for most of the trackers, the datasets, the evaluation kit and the results along with the source code for most trackers are publicly available at the challenge website(1).

Structure and propagation of spherical turbulent iron-methane hybrid flame at elevated pressure
- 2023

Ingår i: Combustion and Flame. - 0010-2180. ; 255

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this communication we demonstrate the role of turbulence intensity in the dual-front structure and self-similar propagation of spherical turbulent iron-methane hybrid flames. We first show that iron-methane hybrid mixture, whose iron concentration is below a critical threshold for the formation of a dust flame front in laminar or weak turbulent environment, can be burned strongly with both separated dual-front and merged single-front structures in intense turbulence. It is suggested that the formation of iron flame front would be attributed to local iron concentration accumulation by preferential sampling with near-unity Stocks number (St), heat transfer enhancement of iron particles to fluid and mixing promotion of iron particles with oxidants by strong turbulence. The propagation of iron front falls behind the methane front in the leading segments which is promoted by flame stretch for sub-unity Lewis number (Le), thus the separated dual-front structure occurs. Furthermore, the strong self-similar propagation of spherical turbulent iron-methane hybrid flame was observed under different turbulence intensities (urms). Mechanistically, such strong self-similar propagation of the hybrid flame is the consequence of the couple effects of flame mode transition at high urms with near-unity St and differential diffusion for sub-unity Le.

The first visual object tracking segmentation VOTS2023 challenge results
- 2023

Ingår i: 2023 IEEE/CVF International conference on computer vision workshops (ICCVW). - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.. - 9798350307443 - 9798350307450 ; , s. 1788-1810

- The Visual Object Tracking Segmentation VOTS2023 challenge is the eleventh annual tracker benchmarking activity of the VOT initiative. This challenge is the first to merge short-term and long-term as well as single-target and multiple-target tracking with segmentation masks as the only target location specification. A new dataset was created; the ground truth has been withheld to prevent overfitting. New performance measures and evaluation protocols have been created along with a new toolkit and an evaluation server. Results of the presented 47 trackers indicate that modern tracking frameworks are well-suited to deal with convergence of short-term and long-term tracking and that multiple and single target tracking can be considered a single problem. A leaderboard, with participating trackers details, the source code, the datasets, and the evaluation kit are publicly available at the challenge website1

Geometrical Cluster-Based Scatterer Detection Method with the Movement of Mobile Terminal
- 2015

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- When a mobile station moves along a trajectory, it will see different parts of the same scatterers or scatterer groups during its movement. In this paper, we present a new method to identify such physical clusters of scatterers, and the corresponding groups of multipath components (MPCs) interacting with those clusters, from measurements of channel impulse responses. The method is based on identifying MPCs that have similar long-term properties - in the sense that they ``effectively interact with'' the same physical clusters, The method consists of four steps: (1) estimate the delays, the DOAs and the amplitudes of the MPCs in each time snapshot; (2) track the MPCs in the time-delay domain; (3) localize all the scattering points in a 2-D Cartesian coordinate system and cluster them on a map with a traditional Kmeans clustering algorithm; (4) merge the scattering points of different MPCs into physical clusters. The method is evaluated using both synthetic data and real measurement data from a suburban area. In the latter case, the locations and the sizes of the interacting objects identified from the measurements show excellent agreement with the location of physical objects in the environment such as pillars and buildings.

Novel Blood Pressure Locus and Gene Discovery Using Genome-Wide Association Study and Expression Data Sets From Blood and the Kidney

- Elevated blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has a substantial genetic contribution. Genetic variation influencing blood pressure has the potential to identify new pharmacological targets for the treatment of hypertension. To discover additional novel blood pressure loci, we used 1000 Genomes Project-based imputation in 150 134 European ancestry individuals and sought significant evidence for independent replication in a further 228 245 individuals. We report 6 new signals of association in or near HSPB7, TNXB, LRP12, LOC283335, SEPT9, and AKT2, and provide new replication evidence for a further 2 signals in EBF2 and NFKBIA. Combining large whole-blood gene expression resources totaling 12 607 individuals, we investigated all novel and previously reported signals and identified 48 genes with evidence for involvement in blood pressure regulation that are significant in multiple resources. Three novel kidney-specific signals were also detected. These robustly implicated genes may provide new leads for therapeutic innovation.

A General Coupling-Based Model Framework for Wideband MIMO Channels
- 2012
-
Ingår i: IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. - 0018-926X. ; 60:2, s. 574-586

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A general coupling-based model framework for wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels is presented in this paper. Under this framework, the channel state information (CSI) tensor can be expressed by the product of a coupling tensor, a complex Gaussian tensor and three unitary matrices. The unitary matrices can be either eigenbases or steering matrices in different domains. The coupling tensor reflects the relationship between the column vectors of these unitary matrices. The complex Gaussian tensor is used to describe the small-scale fading. Several realizations of this framework are introduced, including the wideband Kronecker-based (WKB) model, the wideband eigenvalue-decomposition-based (WEB) model, the wideband virtual presentation (WVP) model and the wideband hybrid (WHY) model. To evaluate the performance of these models, channel measurements were carried out in different indoor scenarios both at Tsinghua University and Lund University. The results show that these models have good agreement with the measured data. Furthermore, we can see that the WHY model can provide a tradeoff between complexity and accuracy in channel synthesis.
