Robust visual tracking via speedup multiple kernel ridge regression (2015)
Journal Article
Qian, C., Breckon, T. P., & Li, H. (2015). Robust visual tracking via speedup multiple kernel ridge regression. Journal of Electronic Imaging, 24(5), Article 053016. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.jei.24.5.053016

Most of the tracking methods attempt to build up feature spaces to represent the appearance of a target. However, limited by the complex structure of the distribution of features, the feature spaces constructed in a linear manner cannot characterize...

Why do animal eyes have pupils of different shapes? (2015)
Journal Article
Banks, M. S., Sprague, W. W., Schmoll, J., Parnell, J. A., & Love, G. D. (2015). Why do animal eyes have pupils of different shapes?. Science Advances, 1(7), Article e1500391. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1500391

There is a striking correlation between terrestrial species’ pupil shape and ecological niche (that is, foraging mode and time of day they are active). Species with vertically elongated pupils are very likely to be ambush predators and active day and... Read More about Why do animal eyes have pupils of different shapes?.

Mesh geometry can be used to model both object shape and details. If texture maps are involved, it is common to let mesh geometry mainly model object shapes and let the texture maps model the most object details, optimising data size and complexity o...
