 Free Download Markus Bestehorn, "Querying Moving Objects Detected by Sensor Networks" English | 2012 | pages: 83 | ISBN: 146144926X | PDF | 3,8 mb Declarative query interfaces to Sensor Networks (SN) have become a commodity. These interfaces allow access to SN deployed for collecting data using relational queries. However, SN are not confined to data collection, but may track object movement, e.g., wildlife observation or traffic monitoring. While rational approaches are well suited for data collection, research on Moving Object Databases (MOD) has shown that relational operators are unsuitable to express information needs on object movement, i.e., spatio-temporal queries. Querying Moving Objects Detected by Sensor Networksstudies declarative access to SN that track moving objects. The properties of SN present a straightforward application of MOD, e.g., node failures, limited detection ranges and accuracy which vary over time etc. Furthermore, point sets used to model MOD-entities like regions assume the availability of very accurate knowledge regarding the spatial extend of these entities, assuming such knowledge is unrealistic for most SN. This book is the first that defines a complete set of spatio-temporal operators for SN while taking into account their properties. Based on these operators, we systematically investigate how to derive query results from object detections by SN. Finally, process spatio-temporal queries are shown in SN efficiently, i.e., reducing the communication between nodes. The evaluation shows that the measures reduce communication by 45%-89%.  Free Download Navneet Ghedia, "Moving Objects Detection Using Machine Learning " English | ISBN: 3030909093 | 2022 | 92 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book shows how machine learning can detect moving objects in a digital video stream. The authors present different background subtraction approaches, foreground segmentation, and object tracking approaches to accomplish this. They also propose an algorithm that considers a multimodal background subtraction approach that can handle a dynamic background and different constraints. The authors show how the proposed algorithm is able to detect and track 2D & 3D objects in monocular sequences for both indoor and outdoor surveillance environments and at the same time, also able to work satisfactorily in a dynamic background and with challenging constraints. In addition, the shows how the proposed algorithm makes use of parameter optimization and adaptive threshold techniques as intrinsic improvements of the Gaussian Mixture Model. The presented system in the book is also able to handle partial occlusion during object detection and tracking. All the presented work and evaluations were carried out in offline processing with the computation done by a single laptop computer with MATLAB serving as software environment. ![A History of Women in 101 Objects [Audiobook]](https://i123.fastpic.org/big/2024/0324/78/8816d5a1bdc52e4cad125dfd54c8da78.jpeg) Free Download A History of Women in 101 Objects (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CCZ31D48 | 2024 | 13 hours and 8 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 380 MB Author: Annabelle Hirsch Narrator: Annabelle Hirsch, Gillian Anderson, Katy Hessel, Anita Rani, Jackie Kay, Len Pennie, Shirley Manson, Rebecca Solnit, Sandi Toksvig, Marina Hyde, Naomi Shimada Discover the hidden history of women-and the world-through this visual exploration of intimate objects and the surprising, sometimes shocking stories behind them. This is a neglected history. Not a sweeping, definitive, exhaustive history of the world but something quieter, more intimate and particular: a single journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, manifold, and too often overlooked histories of women. With engaging prose and compelling stories, Annabelle Hirsch's book contains a curated and diverse compendium of women and their things, uncovering the thoughts and feelings at the heart of women's daily lives. The result is an intimate and stirring alternative history of humans in the world.  Free Download Georgia Frank, "Unfinished Christians: Ritual Objects and Silent Subjects in Late Antiquity" English | ISBN: 1512823953 | 2023 | 208 pages | PDF | 963 KB What can we know about the everyday experiences of Christians during the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries? How did non-elite men and women, enslaved, freed, and free persons, who did not renounce sex or choose voluntary poverty become Christian? They neither led a religious community nor did they live in entirely Christian settings. In this period, an age marked by "extraordinary" Christians―wonderworking saints, household ascetics, hermits, monks, nuns, pious aristocrats, pilgrims, and bishops―ordinary Christians went about their daily lives, in various occupations, raising families, sharing households, kitchens, and baths in religiously diverse cities. Occasionally they attended church liturgies, sought out local healers, and visited martyrs' shrines. Barely and rarely mentioned in ancient texts, common Christians remain nameless and undifferentiated.  Free Download Things Japanese: Everyday Objects of Exceptional Beauty and Significance By Nicholas Bornoff, Michael Freeman 2013 | 143 Pages | ISBN: 1462913814 | PDF | 15 MB ANTIQUES & COLLECTABLES. Things Japanese takes a delightful look at over sixty objects that are uniquely Japanese. Each spread is dedicated to a different item everything from folding paper fans to lacquer ware combs and ceramic tea bowls. Each object is described in detail-giving the historical significance of the object, as well as its place in everyday Japanese life and illustrated with full-color photographs. Each item in the book is listed under its Japanese and English name, and a glossary is provided as an additional aid.  Free Download David Liggins, "Abstract Objects " English | ISBN: 1009241400 | 2024 | 68 pages | PDF | 1152 KB Philosophers often debate the existence of such things as numbers and propositions, and say that if these objects exist, they are abstract. But what does it mean to call something 'abstract'? And do we have good reason to believe in the existence of abstract objects? This Element addresses those questions, putting newcomers to these debates in a position to understand what they concern and what are the most influential considerations at work in this area of metaphysics. It also provides advice on which lines of discussion promise to be the most fruitful.

Free Download Susan Gaylard, "Hollow Men: Writing, Objects, and Public Image in Renaissance Italy" English | ISBN: 0823251918 | 2013 | 372 pages | EPUB | 4 MB This book relates developments in the visual arts and printing to humanist theories of literary and bodily imitation, bringing together fifteenth- and sixteenth-century frescoes, statues, coins, letters, dialogues, epic poems, personal emblems, and printed collections of portraits. Its interdisciplinary analyses show that Renaissance theories of emulating classical heroes generated a deep skepticism about self-presentation, ultimately contributing to a new awareness of representation as representation.  Free Download Barbara Schuler, "Historicizing Emotions: Practices and Objects in India, China, and Japan, " English | ISBN: 9004352953 | 2017 | 344 pages | PDF | 3 MB This unique volume offers case-based studies on changes in Asian community or group-based emotion practices, including understandings of emotionally coded objects, thereby adding greater geographical scope and new voices from unexplored (sub)cultures to the field of the history of emotion. |
