Unsupervised over-segmentation of an image into regions of perceptually similar pixels,
known as superpixels, is a widely used preprocessing step in segmentation algorithms. …

Recognizing manipulations performed by a human and the transfer and execution of this by
a robot is a difficult problem. We address this in the current study by introducing a novel …

Natural evolution has provided multicellular organisms with sophisticated functionalities and
repair mechanisms for surviving and preserve their functions after an injury and/or infection. …

In this work we introduce a novel approach for detecting spatiotemporal object-action relations,
leading to both, action recognition and object categorization. Semantic scene graphs are …

Aims Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs), made from glutaraldehyde-fixed heterograft materials,
are subject to more rapid structural valve degeneration (SVD) in paediatric and young …

In this paper, we present a novel multi-level procedure for finding and tracking leaves of a
rosette plant, in our case up to 3 weeks old tobacco plants, during early growth from infrared-…

Silica-based optical fibers with an ultra-high Yb concentration were systematically studied.
Three the most commonly used in industry glass matrixes for active fiber core were …

We present a real-time technique for the spatiotemporal segmentation of color/depth movies.
Images are segmented using a parallel Metropolis algorithm implemented on a GPU …

In this article, we describe the technology for manufacturing of the phosphosilicate bismuth-doped
optical fibers providing optical amplification near 1.32 $\mu$ m. The effect of …

Radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) in undoped-silica-core optical fibers, of which the
preform cores are synthesized in high O_2 excess conditions in the vapor–gas mixture (“high …
