Towards Robust 3D Robot Perception in Urban Environments: The UT Campus Object Dataset

We introduce the UT Campus Object Dataset (CODa), a mobile robot egocentric perception dataset collected on the University of Texas Austin Campus. Our dataset contains 8.5 hours of multimodal sensor data: synchronized 3D point clouds and stereo RGB video from a 128-channel 3D LiDAR and two 1.25MP RGB cameras at 10 fps; RGB-D videos from an additional 0.5MP sensor at 7 fps, and a 9-DOF IMU sensor at 40 Hz. We provide 58 minutes of ground-truth annotations containing 1.3 million 3D bounding boxes with instance IDs for 53 semantic classes, 5000 frames of 3D semantic annotations for urban terrain, and pseudo-ground truth localization. We repeatedly traverse identical geographic locations for a wide range of indoor and outdoor areas, weather conditions, and times of the day. Using CODa, we empirically demonstrate that: 1) 3D object detection performance in urban settings is significantly higher when trained using CODa compared to existing datasets even when employing state-of-the-art domain adaptation approaches, 2) sensor-specific fine-tuning improves 3D object detection accuracy and 3) pretraining on CODa improves cross-dataset 3D object detection performance in urban settings compared to pretraining on AV datasets. Using our dataset and annotations, we release benchmarks for 3D object detection and 3D semantic segmentation using established metrics. In the future, the CODa benchmark will include additional tasks like unsupervised object discovery and re-identification. We publicly release CODa on the Texas Data Repository, pre-trained models, dataset development package, and interactive dataset viewer on our website at: https://amrl.cs.utexas.edu/coda. We expect CODa to be a valuable dataset for research in egocentric 3D perception and planning for autonomous navigation in urban environments.Biswas, JoydeepComputer Science

The fortunes of Arthur: Malory to Milton

This chapter follows the fortunes of Arthur as a figure contested and celebrated in equal measure between Malory's Morte Darthur (1485), and Milton's History of Britain (1670). Malory depicted the French wars under the guise of Arthur's sixth-century campaign against Rome, and Arthur was key to medieval and Renaissance representations of sovereignty and resistance. One critical view suggests that by the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Arthur became an inconvenient myth, retaining poetic and propagandistic potential but scoffed at by serious scholars. The Reformation and the rise of antiquarianism engendered suspicion of medieval sources, and Arthur and Brutus were undone by the rise of Anglo-Saxon studies. Yet Arthur maintained momentum even as myth morphed from history to poetry, and writers such as Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare still found purchase in the legend. Looked at closely, Milton's disparaging of Arthur appears less absolute, refashioning as it does Malory's Arthurian political allegory

DeShazo College of Music, Memphis, catalog, 1933-1934

Catalog for the DeShazo College of Music in Memphis, Tennessee, for the year 1933-1934. Located at 1264 Linden Avenue, the school was headed by Susie Laverne DeShazo who established the school in 1925 with her sister Jennie. Susie DeShazo was an accomplished concert pianist and had been teaching since 1915. When Jennie died in 1964, the school closed but Susie continued to offer private lessons. She died in 1981.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/speccoll-mss-verticalfiles7/1048/thumbnail.jp

АНТРОПОНІМІЧНА СИСТЕМА АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ НАРОДНОЇ КАЗКИ

У статі проаналізовано, що антропонімія англійської народної казки як сегмент ономастичного простору володіє системним характером. Вона представлена сукупністю реальних і вигаданих антропонімів із кількісним переважанням імен героїв чоловічої статі. У роботі представлено класифікацію казкових антропонімів, засновану на структурно-семантичному принципі, і перераховано основні типи антропонімічних парадигм
