Comfort Wearables for In-Flight Sitting Posture Recognition

Wearables are used to recognize human activities in various applications. However, there is limited evidence on the comfort feelings in using wearables, which is crucial for the adoption and long-term engagement of users in those applications. In this paper, we propose the concept of comfort wearables in the context of in-flight posture...

The development of a low-cost photogrammetry-based 3D hand scanner

Acquiring an accurate 3D scan of the human hand is a challenging task, mainly due to the complicated geometry and the instability of the hand. In this paper, we present a low-cost photogrammetry-based scanner that is designed for scanning the human hand. The scanner has fifty modules, each has a Raspberry Pi with an 8-megapixels camera. They...

Matching images and text with multi-modal tensor fusion and re-ranking

A major challenge in matching images and text is that they have intrinsically different data distributions and feature representations. Most existing approaches are based either on embedding or classification, the first one mapping image and text instances into a common embedding space for distance measuring, and the second one regarding...

Electrochemistry of zirconium in molten chlorides

In this work, the electrochemical behavior of zirconium was studied on an inert molybdenum electrode at 550 °C in a LiCl-KCl-K₂ZrF₆ molten salt system, which is considered as an ideal electrolyte for the zirconium electrorefining process. Several transient electrochemical techniques were used such as cyclic voltammetry,...
