Multi-Person Pose Estimation with Local Joint-to-Person Associations
Despite of the recent success of neural networks for human pose estimation,
current approaches are limited to pose estimation of a single person and cannot
handle humans in groups or crowds. In this work, we propose a method that
estimates the poses of multiple persons in an image in which a person can be
occluded by another person or might be truncated. To this end, we consider
multi-person pose estimation as a joint-to-person association problem. We
construct a fully connected graph from a set of detected joint candidates in an
image and resolve the joint-to-person association and outlier detection using
integer linear programming. Since solving joint-to-person association jointly
for all persons in an image is an NP-hard problem and even approximations are
expensive, we solve the problem locally for each person. On the challenging
MPII Human Pose Dataset for multiple persons, our approach achieves the
accuracy of a state-of-the-art method, but it is 6,000 to 19,000 times faster.Comment: Accepted to European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) Workshops,

Experimental antiproton nuclear stopping power in H2 and D2
Data about antiprotons slowing down in gaseous targets at very low energies (E<1 keV) show that the stopping power in D2 is lower than in H2; the right way to explain this behavior seems to be through a nuclear stopping power derived from the classical Rutherford formula

Paddock shape effects on grazing behavior and efficiency in sheep
Two grazing trials were conducted during early winter (December 1996-January 1997) and spring (April-May 1997) to evaluate the effect of shape of pasture on forage use and behavior of grazing sheep (Ovis aries). Two treatments were tested, square and rectangular paddock, with 2 replicates for each treatment of 9 ewes each. Groups were homogeneous for age and weight. Paddock size furnished 10 m2 per sheep per day. Each paddock was divided into 8 equal plots to determine herbage intake and grazing efficiency along the boundary and in the middle of paddocks. The shape of paddock affected sheep grazing efficiency and herbage intake both in the winter and in the spring. Because of a greater amount of herbage destroyed within boundary plots, the ewes in rectangular paddocks grazed less time, had lower herbage intake and used forage less efficiently than ewes in square paddocks. These results suggest that the shape of pasture can affect the behavior and herbage intake of sheep grazing in small paddocks and indicate that square paddocks should be used for research studies on sheep grazing behavior.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
