Inserting virtual pedestrians into pedestrian groups video with behavior consistency

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to integrate virtual pedestrians into a scene of real pedestrian groups with behavior consistency, and this is achieved by dynamic path planning of virtual pedestrians. Rather than accounting for the local collision avoidance only, our approach is capable of finding an optimized path for each virtual pedestrian on his way based on the current global distribution of the real groups in the scene. The big challenge is due to the information of both position and velocity of real pedestrians in the video being unavailable; also the distribution of the groups in the scene may vary dynamically. We therefore need to detect and track real pedestrians on each frame of the video to acquire their distribution and motion information. We save this information by an efficient data structure, called environment grid. During the way of a virtual pedestrian, the respective agent frequently emits the detection rays through the environment cells to find the situation of the real pedestrians ahead of him and adjust the original path if necessary. Virtual pedestrians are merged into the video finally with the occlusion between virtual characters and the real pedestrians correctly presented. Experiment results on several scenarios demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

More IMPATIENT: A gridding-accelerated Toeplitz-based strategy for non-Cartesian high-resolution 3D MRI on GPUs

Several recent methods have been proposed to obtain significant speed-ups in MRI image reconstruction by leveraging the computational power of GPUs. Previously, we implemented a GPU-based image reconstruction technique called the Illinois Massively Parallel Acquisition Toolkit for Image reconstruction with ENhanced Throughput in MRI (IMPATIENT MRI) for reconstructing data collected along arbitrary 3D trajectories. In this paper, we improve IMPATIENT by removing computational bottlenecks by using a gridding approach to accelerate the computation of various data structures needed by the previous routine. Further, we enhance the routine with capabilities for off-resonance correction and multi-sensor parallel imaging reconstruction. Through implementation of optimized gridding into our iterative reconstruction scheme, speed-ups of more than a factor of 200 are provided in the improved GPU implementation compared to the previous accelerated GPU code.     

Degradation of indole in aqueous solution using contact glow discharge plasma

Exhaustive indole oxidation in aqueous solution was studied using contact glow discharge plasma. The results indicated that the rate of indole degradation increases with the decrease in the solution conductivity. The degradation rate can be enhanced under the following situations. First, the increase in temperature. Second, introduce active carbon and hydrogen peroxide to the solution. Third, the degradation process is performed in alkaline or acidic media rather than the neutral media. Fourth, add Fe²⁺ to solution to undergo Fenton’s reaction. However, n-butanol was found decelerate the degradation of indole. Some major intermediates produced during the degradation were detected by using both HPLC and GC-MS.     

Effect of correlations of the experimental data on the errors in evaluated neutron cross sections

This work concerns the underestimation of the errors in the recommended neutron cross sections obtained by using strict statistical methods to analyze measurements. It is shown that one reason for this is inadequate representation of the initial experimental data, specifically, correlations of the experimental data are neglected. The effect of correlations of the experimental data on the error in the evaluated neutron cross sections is studied using realistic models and practical examples. Special attention is focussed on correlations of measurements performed by different authors. Analysis of correlations of this kind substantially increases the errors in the evaluated cross sections. Analysis of the model examples shows that the correction can be large (∼70%) even for cases with relatively weak correlation of the measurements performed by different authors. For the evaluated cross sections of the reactions¹⁰³Rh(n, n′)^103mRh and²³⁷Np(n, f) the corrections reach 41% and 25% for certain energy ranges. 5 figures, 1 table, 22 references.

Errors in evaluated neutron cross sections

The underestimation of the errors in the recommended neutron cross sections calculated on the basis of an analysis of measurement results using strict statistical methods is discussed. The basic reasons for the underestimation of the errors in the cross sections are described. A statistical model is proposed — a constant bias model — for taking into account effectively the component of the measurement error that is unknown to the experimentor. The results of a statistical analysis of the measurements of the ratio of the fission cross sections of ²³⁸U and ²³⁵U on the basis of the constant bias model are presented. It is noted that the experimental errors are much higher (on the average by a factor of 2) than the declared errors. The consequences of using the generally accepted method for correcting the errors in the evaluated cross sections are examined for an exactly solvable model example. It is shown that such a procedure does reconstruct the real errors in the evaluated cross sections.__________Translated from Atomnaya Énergiya, Vol. 98, No. 1, pp. 3–12, January, 2005.
