Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been established as a powerful class of models for image recognition problems. Despite their success in other areas, CNNs have been applied only for very limited agricultural applications due to the need for large datasets. The aim of this&...

This paper introduces a method to obtain a detailed 3D reconstruction of facial skin from a single RGB image. To this end, we propose the exclusive use of an input image without requiring any information about the observed material nor training data to model the wrinkle&#...

Feature selection is an effective technique to reduce dimensionality, for example when the condition of a system is to be understood from multivariate observations. The selection of variables often involves a priori assumptions about underlying phenomena. To avoid the associated uncertainty, ...

Reachability maps are powerful means to help making location-based decisions, such as choosing convenient sites for subsidiaries or planning vacation trips. Existing visualization approaches, however, introduce drawbacks concerning an effective acquisition of relevant information and an efficient data proc...
