    Child labour involves of person that age below than 17 years old. Child labour often happen in poor countries such as Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the issue of child labour might be the biggest issue. Bangladesh come up with Bangladesh Labour Act (BLA) that did not allow any person age below from fourteen years old to work (Nawshin et al, 2019). One of the aim or purpose of this act is to prevent teen workers in order to get the proper payment of any work. This is because when organization use child labour, they might be paid at lower rate because children usually do not have much responsible in their family compared to teen workers. This indirectly cause an economic matter in a family

    Low-latency compression of mocap data using learned spatial decorrelation transform

    Due to the growing needs of human motion capture (mocap) in movie, video games, sports, etc., it is highly desired to compress mocap data for efficient storage and transmission. This paper presents two efficient frameworks for compressing human mocap data with low latency. The first framework processes the data in a frame-by-frame manner so that it is ideal for mocap data streaming and time critical applications. The second one is clip-based and provides a flexible tradeoff between latency and compression performance. Since mocap data exhibits some unique spatial characteristics, we propose a very effective transform, namely learned orthogonal transform (LOT), for reducing the spatial redundancy. The LOT problem is formulated as minimizing square error regularized by orthogonality and sparsity and solved via alternating iteration. We also adopt a predictive coding and temporal DCT for temporal decorrelation in the frame- and clip-based frameworks, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed frameworks can produce higher compression performance at lower computational cost and latency than the state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figure
