DeeperCut: A Deeper, Stronger, and Faster Multi-Person Pose Estimation Model

The goal of this paper is to advance the state-of-the-art of articulated pose estimation in scenes with multiple people. To that end we contribute on three fronts. We propose (1) improved body part detectors that generate effective bottom-up proposals for body parts; (2) novel image-conditioned pairwise terms that allow to assemble the proposals into a variable number of consistent body part configurations; and (3) an incremental optimization strategy that explores the search space more efficiently thus leading both to better performance and significant speed-up factors. Evaluation is done on two single-person and two multi-person pose estimation benchmarks. The proposed approach significantly outperforms best known multi-person pose estimation results while demonstrating competitive performance on the task of single person pose estimation.

The Patristic and Medieval Church

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay\u27s first paragraph. While there are certain standards such as the Rule of Faith that ensure the preservation of the authority and authenticity of Scripture, there were many conditions during the early formation of Scripture that impacted its interpretation and consideration. As with any significant theological or philosophical work, there were many varying interpretations of Scripture introduced by key figures of the time period, and several of these influential schools of thought will be considered in this work. In particular, the Antiochene and Alexandrian methods of biblical interpretation, the Vincentian canon, and teachings introduced both by early church fathers and heretical leaders will be presented. In addition, a discussion of the various reasons why interpretation is unavoidable when considering Scripture will also be conveyed, as it appears in the following section

Flexible radiator system: Executive summary

A full scale prototype flexible radiator panel was designed, built and tested. The panel, has approximately 173 sq ft of radiating area and is designed to reject 1.33 kW of heat to a 0 F sink with a 100 F fluid inlet. The panel is constructed from a flexible Teflon/silver mesh fin surrounding 1/8 inch Teflon tubes. The prototype panel is stowed on a 10 inch diameter by 4 foot wide drum. (It rolls up to a diameter of 17 inches when fully stowed). Deployment of the soft tube prototype is via two four inch diameter Kevlar/Mylar inflation tubes with flat springs incorporated in each tube. Nitrogen is normally used for the deployment with approximately 1 psi required. The springs retract the panels when the inflation tubes are deflated. Another method of deployment available for the soft tube flexible is a motor driven deployable boom. This eliminates the need for expendables when the panel area is varied during the mission for heat load control. The soft tube panel is designed for a 90% probability of no punctured tube in a 30 day mission. The acceptable working fluids for this soft tube flexible are Coolanol 15, Coolanol 20 and Glycol/water (a eutectic mixture)

Comunidades helenógrafas en la Lusitania visigoda (s. vi)

La afluencia de grupos de orientales a Hispania se prolongó incluso tras la caída del Imperio Romano de Occidente. En las localidades modernas de Mérida, Mértola y Plasenzuela se encontró material epigráfico —mayoritariamente epitafios— inscrito en griego por inmigrantes que se establecieron en la provincia de Lusitania. El presente ensayo propone un origen en la zona egeoanatolia para al menos parte de estos grupos de inmigrantes y discute las motivaciones de su venida, sumando evidencias históricas y arqueológicas a los datos epigráficos y lingüísticos, estos dos últimos los principales testigos de su permanencia en territorio lusitano
