Efficacy of riprap design for protection of quay structures against propeller-induced scouring by Tan, Qin Xiang

“…Modern-day vessels can cause severe scouring around quay structures during berthing and unberthing manoeuvres. The scouring of sediment bed near the toe of quay structures might subsequently result in instability of the quay structure. …”

A boundary-fragment-model for object detection by Opelt, A, Pinz, A, Zisserman, A

“…The generative aspect of the model is used to determine an approximate segmentation.</p> <p>We demonstrate the following results: (i) the BFM detector is able to represent and detect object classes principally defined by their shape, rather than their appearance; and (ii) in comparison with other published results on several object classes (airplanes, cars-rear, cows) the BFM detector is able to exceed previous performances, and to achieve this with less supervision (such as the number of training images).…”

An optimization-driven approach for computing geodesic paths on triangle meshes by Liu, Bangquan, Chen, Shuangmin, Xin, Shi-Qing, He, Ying, Liu, Zhen, Zhao, Jieyu

“…A typical way to solve this problem is to iteratively shorten one segment of the path at a time. As local approaches, they are conceptually simple and easy to implement, but they converge slowly and have poor performance on large scale models. …”
