Model of Frequency Analysis in the Visual Cortex and the Shape from Texture Problem

This paper addresses the question: at the level of cortical cells present in the primary area V1, is the information sufficient to extract the local perspective from the texture? Starting from a model of complex cells in visual area V1, we propose a biologically plausible algorithm for frequency analysis applied to the shape from texture problem. First, specific log-normal filters are designed in replacement of the classical Gabor filters because of their theoretical properties and of their biological plausibility. These filters are separable in frequency and orientation and they better sample the image spectrum which makes them appropriate for any pattern analysis technique. A method to estimate the local frequency in the image, which discards the need to choose the best local scale, is designed. Based on this frequency analysis model, a local decomposition of the image into patches leads to the estimation of the local frequency variation which is used to solve the problem of recovering the shape from the texture. From the analytical relation between the local frequency and the geometrical parameters, under perspective projection, it is possible to recover the orientation and the shape of the original image. The accuracy of the method is evaluated and discussed on different kind of textures, both regular and irregular, with planar and curved surfaces and also on natural scenes and psychophysical stimuli. It compares favorably to the best existing methods, with in addition, a low computational cost. The biological plausibility of the model is finally discussed.

Multistable electro‐optical modes in ferroelectric liquid crystals

Abstract— Multistable electro‐optical modes exist under certain conditions in ferroelectric liquid‐crystal (FLC) cells, which means that any light‐transmission level can be memorized after the driving voltage is switched off. The multistability is responsible for three new electro‐optical modes with different shapes of the gray‐scale curve that can be either S‐shaped (double or single dependent upon the applied‐voltage pulse sequence and boundary conditions) or V‐shaped dependent upon boundary conditions and FLC cell parameters. The origin of these modes will be described.     

Controller synthesis with guaranteed closed-loop phase constraints

In this paper, we present an analysis and synthesis approach for guaranteeing that the phase of a single-input, single-output closed-loop transfer function is contained in the interval [−α,α] for a given α>0 at all frequencies. Specifically, we first derive a sufficient condition involving a frequency domain inequality for guaranteeing a given phase constraint. Next, we use the Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov theorem to derive an equivalent time domain condition. In the case where , we show that frequency and time domain sufficient conditions specialize to the positivity theorem. Furthermore, using linear matrix inequalities, we develop a controller synthesis approach for guaranteeing a phase constraint on the closed-loop transfer function. Finally, we extend this synthesis approach to address mixed gain and phase constraints on the closed-loop transfer function.

Transfer Learning on Deep Neural Networks to Detect Pornography

While the internet has a lot of positive impact on society, there are negative components. Accessible to everyone through online platforms, pornography is, inducing psychological and health related issues among people of all ages. While a difficult task, detecting pornography can be the important step in determining the porn and adult content in a video. In this paper, an architecture is proposed which yielded high scores for both training and testing. This dataset was produced from 190 videos, yielding more than 19 h of videos. The main sources for the content were from YouTube, movies, torrent, and websites that hosts both pornographic and non-pornographic contents. The videos were from different ethnicities and skin color which ensures the models can detect any kind of video. A VGG16, Inception V3 and Resnet 50 models were initially trained to detect these pornographic images but failed to achieve a high testing accuracy with accuracies of 0.49, 0.49 and 0.78 respectively. Finally, utilizing transfer learning, a convolutional neural network was designed and yielded an accuracy of 0.98.     

Phase Separation Derived Core/Shell Structured Cu11V6O26/V2O5 Microspheres: First Synthesis and Excellent Lithium‐Ion Anode Performance with Outstanding Capacity Self‐Restoration

Novel amorphous vanadium oxide coated copper vanadium oxide (Cu₁₁V₆O₂₆/V₂O₅) microspheres with 3D hierarchical architecture have been successfully prepared via a microwave‐assisted solution method and subsequent annealing induced phase separation process. Pure Cu₁₁V₆O₂₆ microspheres without V₂O₅ coating are also obtained by an H₂O₂ solution dissolving treatment. When evaluated as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), the as‐synthesized hybrid exhibits large reversible capacity, excellent rate capability, and outstanding capacity self‐recovery. Under the condition of high current density of 1 A g^?1, the 3D hierarchical Cu₁₁V₆O₂₆/V₂O₅ hybrid maintains a reversible capacity of ≈1110 mA h g^?1. Combined electrochemical analysis and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy observation during cycling reveals that the amorphous V₂O₅ coating plays an important role on enhancing the electrochemical performances and capacity self‐recovery, which provides an active amorphous protective layer and abundant grain interfaces for efficient inserting and extracting of Li‐ion. As a result, this new copper vanadium oxide hybrid is proposed as a promising anode material for LIBs.
