Region learning (RL) and multi-label learning (ML) have recently attracted increasing
attentions in the field of facial Action Unit (AU) detection. Knowing that AUs are active on sparse …

The face is one of the most powerful channel of non-verbal communication. The most
commonly used taxonomy to describe facial behaviour is the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). …

With the increasing popularity of portable camera devices and embedded visual processing,
text extraction from natural scene images has become a key problem that is deemed to …

Pectin was extracted from ‘Tainong No. 1’ mango peels, using a chelating agent-citric acid
as extraction medium by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and conventional extraction (…

Generally speaking, a much higher concentration of biocide is needed to treat biofilms
compared to the dosage used to for planktonic bacteria. With increasing restrictions of …

The polyimide (PI)/carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs-COOH)
nanocomposite films were synthesized by situ polymerization method. The results showed …

The polyimide (PI)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite films were synthesized by situ
polymerization and their tribological behaviors under dry friction, pure water lubrication and …

Most action unit (AU) detection methods use one-versus-all classifiers without considering
dependences between features or AUs. In this paper, we introduce a joint patch and multi-…

We present Progressive Refinement Network (PRNet), a novel single-stage detector that
tackles occluded pedestrian detection. Motivated by human’s progressive process on …

Microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) due to sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is a major
problem facing the oil and gas industry as well as other industries such as water utility. …
