Learning depth from a single image, as an important issue in scene understanding, has attracted a lot of attention in the past decade. The accuracy of the depth estimation has been improved from conditional Markov ran...

Face alignment, which fits a face model to an image and extracts the semantic meanings of facial pixels, has been an important topic in CV community. However, most algorithms are designed for faces in small to medium poses (below 45°), lacking the ability to align faces in large poses up to 90°. The challenges are three-fold: Firstly, the commonly used landmark-based face model assumes that all the landmarks are visible and is therefore not suitable for profile views. Secondly, the face appearance varies more dramatically across large poses, ranging from frontal view to profile view. Thirdly, labelling landmarks in large poses is extremely challenging since the invisible landmarks have to be guessed. In this paper, we propose a solution to the three problems in an new alignment framework, called 3D Dense Face Alignment (3DDFA), in which a dense 3D face model is fitted to the image via convolutional neutral network (CNN). We also propose a method to synthesize large-scale training samples in profile views to solve the third problem of data labelling. Experiments on the challenging AFLW database show that our approach achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods.

We present a preliminary version of an automated evaluation system that provides recommended scores for descriptive answers. The system is designed in the context of professional courses, such as from Applied sciences, for questions that have an answer-key. The recommendation of a score is based on an analysis of the student's answer against an answer-key that comprises key phrases of the solution and alternatives, if any. We rely on five algorithms from literature on natural language processing to assess various aspects of a student's answer, such as the quantity and extent of match between keywords in a student's answer and the answer-key, while ensuring merely verbatim comparisons are not performed. The similarity scores are then combined using machine learning to output a recommended score for the answer. The system learns weights for the output of each of the five methods to map these to a score based on training data, comprising questions with answer-keys, student answers from actual exams and the scores provided by course instructors/ graders. It is noteworthy that the methods presented in this paper do not rely on any kind of a corpus or prior-knowledge that is subject-specific. Even though the accuracies are modest and improvements ought to be made to accommodate the kind of variety observed in students' answers, the avenue is a promising one towards enhancing learning assessment.

In this paper, we survey recent approaches to blue-noise sampling and discuss their beneficial applications. We discuss the sampling algorithms that use points as sampling primitives and classify the sampling algorithms based on various aspects, e.g., the sampling domain and the type of algorithm. We demonstrate several well-known applications that can be improved by recent blue-noise sampling techniques, as well as some new applications such as dynamic sampling and blue-noise remeshing.
