VisDrone-CC2020: The Vision Meets Drone Crowd Counting Challenge Results [PDF]
European Conference on Computer Vision. Springer, Cham, 2020:
675-691, 2021 Crowd counting on the drone platform is an interesting topic in computer vision, which brings new challenges such as small object inference, background clutter and wide viewpoint. However, there are few algorithms focusing on crowd counting on the drone-captured data due to the lack of comprehensive datasets.

Eikonal Scattering of Monopoles and Dyons in Dual QED [PDF]
arXiv, 2000 The quantum field theory of electron-point magnetic monopole interactions and dyon-dyon interactions, based on the string-dependent ``nonlocal'' action of Dirac and Schwinger is developed. We demonstrate that a nonperturbative quantum field theoretic formulation can be constructed resulting in a string {\em independent} cross section for monopole ...

CDIDN: A Registration Model with High Deformation Impedance Capability for Long-Term Tracking of Pulmonary Lesion Dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We study the problem of registration for medical CT images from a novel perspective -- the sensitivity to degree of deformations in CT images. Although some learning-based methods have shown success in terms of average accuracy, their ability to handle regions with local large deformation (LLD) may significantly decrease compared to dealing with ...
