The four experiments of Part I define basic objects by demonstrating that in taxonomies of common concrete nouns in English based on class inclusion, basic objects are the most inclusive categories whose members: (a) possess

The following text is a description of the steps needed to estimate reference evapotranspiration (ETref) for a 0.12 m tall reference surface (ETos) and for a 0.50 m tall reference surface (ETrs) using monthly weather data as adopted by the Environmental Water Resources Institute-American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE-EWRI, 2004). Note that the steps are in the same sequence as one would use when write computer code. The symbols were shortened to ETo and ETr in this documentation. The Hargreaves-Samani (1982); Hargreaves-Samani (1985) equation for estimating ETo are also presented and the symbol used is ETh STEP 1: Extraterrestrial radiation (Ra) is calculated for the midday of each month using the following equations from Duffie and Beckman (1980). GSC = solar constant in MJ m-2 min-1 GSC = 0.082 σ = Steffan-Boltzman constant in MJ m-2 d-1 K-4 σ = 4.90 × 10-9 φ = latitude in radians converted from latitude (L) in degrees

Abstract. We present a new dataset with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art in object recognition by placing the question of object recognition in the context of the broader question of scene understand-ing. This is achieved by gathering images of complex everyday scenes containing common

Mining and cropping common objects from images

A common trend in object recognition is to detect and leverage the use of sparse, informative feature points. The use of such features makes the problem more manageable while providing increased robustness to noise and pose variation. In this work we develop an extension of these ideas

For many KDD applications, such as detecting criminal activities in E-commerce, finding the rare instances or the outliers, can be more interesting than finding the common patterns. Existing work in outlier detection regards being an outlier as a binary property. In this paper, we contend

The use of hierarchy is an important component of object-oriented design. Hierarchy allows the use of type families, in which higher level supertypes capture the behavior that all of their subtypes have in common. For this methodology to be effective, it is necessary to have a clear understanding
