A variational principle for computing slow invariant manifolds in dissipative dynamical systems
A key issue in dimension reduction of dissipative dynamical systems with
spectral gaps is the identification of slow invariant manifolds. We present
theoretical and numerical results for a variational approach to the problem of
computing such manifolds for kinetic models using trajectory optimization. The
corresponding objective functional reflects a variational principle that
characterizes trajectories on, respectively near, slow invariant manifolds. For
a two-dimensional linear system and a common nonlinear test problem we show
analytically that the variational approach asymptotically identifies the exact
slow invariant manifold in the limit of both an infinite time horizon of the
variational problem with fixed spectral gap and infinite spectral gap with a
fixed finite time horizon. Numerical results for the linear and nonlinear model
problems as well as a more realistic higher-dimensional chemical reaction
mechanism are presented.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Procedural Modeling and Physically Based Rendering for Synthetic Data Generation in Automotive Applications
We present an overview and evaluation of a new, systematic approach for
generation of highly realistic, annotated synthetic data for training of deep
neural networks in computer vision tasks. The main contribution is a procedural
world modeling approach enabling high variability coupled with physically
accurate image synthesis, and is a departure from the hand-modeled virtual
worlds and approximate image synthesis methods used in real-time applications.
The benefits of our approach include flexible, physically accurate and scalable
image synthesis, implicit wide coverage of classes and features, and complete
data introspection for annotations, which all contribute to quality and cost
efficiency. To evaluate our approach and the efficacy of the resulting data, we
use semantic segmentation for autonomous vehicles and robotic navigation as the
main application, and we train multiple deep learning architectures using
synthetic data with and without fine tuning on organic (i.e. real-world) data.
The evaluation shows that our approach improves the neural network's
performance and that even modest implementation efforts produce
state-of-the-art results.Comment: The project web page at

On Probability of Support Recovery for Orthogonal Matching Pursuit Using Mutual Coherence
In this paper we present a new coherence-based performance guarantee for the
Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm. A lower bound for the probability
of correctly identifying the support of a sparse signal with additive white
Gaussian noise is derived. Compared to previous work, the new bound takes into
account the signal parameters such as dynamic range, noise variance, and
sparsity. Numerical simulations show significant improvements over previous
work and a closer match to empirically obtained results of the OMP algorithm.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Signal Processing Letters. arXiv admin note:

Single-frame Regularization for Temporally Stable CNNs
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can model complicated non-linear
relations between images. However, they are notoriously sensitive to small
changes in the input. Most CNNs trained to describe image-to-image mappings
generate temporally unstable results when applied to video sequences, leading
to flickering artifacts and other inconsistencies over time. In order to use
CNNs for video material, previous methods have relied on estimating dense
frame-to-frame motion information (optical flow) in the training and/or the
inference phase, or by exploring recurrent learning structures. We take a
different approach to the problem, posing temporal stability as a
regularization of the cost function. The regularization is formulated to
account for different types of motion that can occur between frames, so that
temporally stable CNNs can be trained without the need for video material or
expensive motion estimation. The training can be performed as a fine-tuning
operation, without architectural modifications of the CNN. Our evaluation shows
that the training strategy leads to large improvements in temporal smoothness.
Moreover, for small datasets the regularization can help in boosting the
generalization performance to a much larger extent than what is possible with
na\"ive augmentation strategies

We present a novel system capable of capturing high dynamic range (HDR) Light Probes at video speed. Each Light Probe frame is built from an individual full set of exposures, all of which are captured within the frame time. The exposures are processed and assembled into a mantissa-exponent representation image within the camera unit before output, and then streamed to a standard PC. As an example, the system is capable of capturing Light Probe Images with a resolution of 512x512 pixels using a set of 10 exposures covering 15 f-stops at a frame rate of up to 25 final HDR frames per second. The system is built around commercial special-purpose camera hardware with on-chip programmable image processing logic and tightly integrated frame buffer memory, and the algorithm is implemented as custom downloadable microcode software
Enforcing strategic fit of project portfolios by project termination: An empirical study on senior management involvement
Abstract Project portfolios are vehicles for strategy implementation. Senior management should terminate projects no longer conforming to corporate strategy in order to ensure strategic fit. This paper investigates how rigorous termination of bad and troubled projects affects portfolio effectiveness and senior management's decisive role in this context. We introduce the concept of project termination quality, analyse its consequences for strategic fit and how it is affected by senior management involvement. Using a quantitative longitudinal study of a sample of project portfolios, we show that termination quality positively affects strategic fit. We also show a positive, but inverted u-shaped relationship between senior management involvement and termination quality. We conclude that there is an optimal degree of involvement, beyond which an additional involvement of senior managers results in negative effects
