Повний текст джерелаManipulated videos can be created with deepfake technology, where fake images and sounds are produced and seem to be real. Deepfake technology is constantly improving and it will be more problematic to detect manipulated video online. This may result in a large number of media consumers being unknowingly exposed to deepfake technology while using social media. The purpose of this study is to research young adults' awareness, approach and impact of deepfake videos. The deepfake technology improves annually and more problems occur, which can cause negative consequences in the future if it’s misused. The study is based on a quantitative method in the form of a web survey and a qualitative method with three focus groups. The conclusion shows that there’s a large number of young adults who are not aware of what a deepfake video is, however there’s some concern about deepfake technology and its development. It’s perceived that there can be risks in the future with the technology in terms of threats to democracy and politics, distribution of Fake news, video manipulation and lack of source criticism. The positive aspects are that the technology can be used for entertainment purposes, in the film and television industry also in the healthcare department. Another conclusion is that young adults will be more critical to the content they are exposed to in the future, but likely be affected by deepfake technology either way.

Повний текст джерелаConforme o sangue flui através do corpo de um indivíduo, ele muda a forma como a luz é irradiada pela pele, pois o sangue absorve luz de forma diferente dos outros tecidos. Essa sutil variação pode ser capturada por uma câmera e ser usada para monitorar a atividade cardíaca de uma pessoa. O sinal capturado pela câmera é uma onda que representa as variações de tonalidade da pele ao longo do tempo. A frequência dessa onda é a mesma frequência na qual o coração bate. Portanto, o sinal capturado pela câmera pode ser usado para estimar a taxa cardíaca de uma pessoa. Medir o pulso cardíaco remotamente traz mais conforto pois evita o uso de eletrodos. Também permite o monitoramento de uma pessoa de forma oculta para ser empregado em um detector de mentira, por exemplo. Neste trabalho nós propomos dois algoritmos para a estimação da taxa cardíaca sem contato usando câmeras convencionais sob iluminação não controlada. O primeiro algoritmo proposto é um método simples que emprega um detector de face que identifica a face da pessoa sendo monitorada e extrai o sinal gerado pelas mudanças no tom da pele devido ao fluxo sanguíneo. Este algoritmo emprega um filtro adaptativo para aumentar a energia do sinal de interesse em relação ao ruído. Nós mostramos que este algoritmo funciona muito bem para vídeos com pouco movimento. O segundo algoritmo que propomos é uma melhora do primeiro para torná-lo mais robusto a movimentos. Nós modificamos o método usado para definir a região de interesse. Neste algoritmo é utilizado um detector de pele para eliminar pixels do plano de fundo do vídeo, os frames dos vídeos são divididos em micro-regiões que são rastreados com um algoritmo de fluxo ótico para compensar os movimentos e um algoritmo de clusterização é aplicado para selecionar automaticamente as melhores micro-regiões para efetuar a estimação da taxa cardíaca. Propomos também um esquema de filtragem temporal e espacial para reduzir o ruído introduzido pelo algoritmo de fluxo ótico. Comparamos os resultados dos nossos algoritmos com um oxímetro de dedo comercial e mostramos que eles funcionam bem para situações desafiadoras.
As the blood flows through the body of an individual, it changes the way that light is irradiated by the skin, because blood absorbs light differently than the remaining tissues. This subtle variation can be captured by a camera and be used to monitor the heart activity of a person. The signal captured by the camera is a wave that represents the changes in skin tone along time. The frequency of this wave is the same as the frequency by which the heart beats. Therefore, the signal captured by the camera could be used to estimate a person’s heart rate. This remote measurement of cardiac pulse provides more comfort as it avoids the use of electrodes or others devices attached to the body. It also allows the monitoring of a person in a canceled way to be employed in lie detectors, for example. In this work we propose two algorithms for non-contact heart rate estimation using conventional cameras under uncontrolled illumination. The first proposed algorithm is a simple approach that uses a face detector to identify the face of the person being monitored and extract the signal generated by the changes in the skin tone due to the blood flow. This algorithm employs an adaptive filter to boost the energy of the interest signal against noise. We show that this algorithm works very well for videos with little movement. The second algorithm we propose is an improvement of the first one to make it more robust to movements. We modify the approach used to define the region of interest. In this algorithm we employ a skin detector to eliminate pixels from the background, divide the frames in microregions that are tracked using an optical flow algorithm to compensate for movements and we apply a clustering algorithm to automatically select the best micro-regions to use for heart rate estimation. We also propose a temporal and spatial filtering scheme to reduce noise introduced by the optical flow algorithm. We compared the results of our algorithms to an off-the-shelf fingertip pulse oximeter and showed that they can work well under challenging situations.

Повний текст джерелаThis research work has been produced with the aim of performing gender recognition in real-time on face images extracted from real video sequences. The task may appear easy for a human, but it is not so simple for a computer vision algorithm. Even on still images, the gender recognition classifiers have to deal with challenging problems mainly due to the possible face variations, in terms of age, ethnicity, pose, scale, occlusions and so on. Additional challenges have to be taken into account when the face analysis is performed on images acquired in real scenarios with traditional surveillance cameras. Indeed, the people are unaware of the presence of the camera and their sudden movements, together with the low quality of the images, further stress the noise on the faces, which are affected by motion blur, different orientations and various scales. Moreover, the need of providing a single classification of a person (and not for each face image) in real-time imposes to design a fast gender recognition algorithm, able to track a person in different frames and to give the information about the gender quickly. The real-time constraint acquires even more relevance considering that one of the goals of this research work is to design an algorithm suitable for an embedded vision architecture. Finally, the task becomes even more challenging since there are not standard benchmarks and protocols for the evaluation of gender recognition algorithms. In this thesis the attention has been firstly concentrated on the analysis of still images, in order to understand which are the most effective features for gender recognition. To this aim, a face alignment algorithm has been applied to the face images so as to normalize the pose and optimize the performance of the subsequent processing steps. Then two methods have been proposed for gender recognition on still images. First, a multi-expert which combines the decisions of classifiers fed with handcrafted features has been evaluated. The pixel intensity values of face images, namely the raw features, the LBP histograms and the HOG features have been used to train three experts which takes their decision by taking into account, respectively, the information about color, texture and shape of a human face. The decisions of the single linear SVMs have been combined with a weighted voting rule, which demonstrated to be the most effective for the problem at hand. Second, a SVM classifier with a chi-squared kernel based on trainable COSFIRE filters has been fused with an expert which rely on SURF features extracted in correspondence of certain facial landmarks. The complementarity of the two experts has been demonstrated and the decisions have been combined with a stacked classification scheme. An experimental evaluation of all the methods has been carried out on the GENDER-FERET and the LFW datasets with a standard protocol, so allowing the possibility to perform a fair comparison of the results. Such evaluation proved that the couple COSFIRE-SURF is the one which achieves the best accuracy in all the cases (accuracy of 94.7% on GENDER-FERET and 99.4% on LFW), even compared with other state of the art methods. Anyway, the performance achieved by the multi-expert which rely on the fusion of RAW, LBP and HOG classifiers can also be considered very satisfying (accuracy of 93.0% on GENDER-FERET and 98.4% on LFW)...[edited by Author]

Esta dissertação propõe e avalia estratégias baseadas nos Stacked Supervised Auto-encoders (SSAE) para representação de imagens faciais em aplicações de vídeo vigilância. O estudo foca na identificação de faces a partir de uma amostra por pessoa na galeria (single sample per person - SSPP). Variações em termos de pose, expressão facial, iluminação e oclusão são abordadas de duas formas. Primeiro, o SSAE extrai atributos das imagens de faces que são robustos contra tais variações. Segundo, exploram-se as múltiplas amostras que podem ser coletadas nas sequências de vídeo de uma pessoa (multiple samples per person probe - MSPPP). Os métodos propostos foram avaliados e comparados usando os bancos de vídeos Honda/UCSD e VIDTIMIT. Adicionalmente, foi estudada a influência de parâmetros relacionados com a arquitetura do SSAE utilizando o banco de imagens estáticas Extended Yale B. Os resultados demonstraram que as estratégias que exploram as MSPPP em combinação com o SSAE podem superar o desempenho de outros métodos SSPP, como os Padrões Binários Locais (LBP), para reconhecimento de faces em vídeos.
This work proposes and evaluates strategies based on Stacked Supervised Auto-encoders (SSAE) for face representation in video surveillance applications. The study focuses on the identification task with a single sample per person (SSPP) in the gallery. Variations in terms of pose, facial expression, illumination and occlusion are approached in two ways. First, the SSAE extracts features from face images, which are robust to such variations. Second, multiple samples per persons probes (MSPPP) that can be extracted from video sequences are exploited to improve recognition accuracy. The proposed methods were compared upon Honda/UCSD and VIDTIMIT video datasets. Additionally, the influence of the parameters related to SSAE architecture was studied using the Extended Yale B dataset. The experimental results demonstrated that strategies combining SSAE and MSPPP are able to outperform other SSPP methods, such as local binary patterns, in face recognition from video.

Повний текст джерелаStudies conducted in this thesis focuses on faces and visual attention. We are interested to better understand the influence and perception of faces, to propose a visual saliency model with face features. Throughout the thesis, we concentrate on the question, "How people explore dynamic visual scenes, how the different visual features are modeled to mimic the eye movements of people, in particular, what is the influence of faces?" To answer these questions we analyze the influence of faces on gaze during free-viewing of videos, as well as the effects of the number, location and size of faces. Based on the findings of this work, we propose model with face as an important information feature extracted in parallel alongside other classical visual features (static and dynamic features). Finally, we propose a multi-GPU implementation of the visual saliency model, demonstrating an enormous speedup of more than 132 times compared to a multithreaded CPU

Повний текст джерелаThis is a contribution to the understanding of the model of random uniaxial anisotropy, also known as the random-axis model (RAM), which describes the properties of compounds of rare-earths with metals. Special attention has been given to the Ising limit (IRAM) of the system which occurs for large anisotropy. The dependence of the thermodynamics of the IRAM with the following relevant paramenters has been studied: i) the isotropy and off-cubical ordering (b) of the distribution of random axis (in contrast to cubic anisotropy); i i) the saturation, de:fined as the r a tio betweéri the spin dimension and lattice connectivity, a = p/ c. The relevant variables are the magnetization and the spin-glass order parameter. The latter appears as a "melting" of the in:finite transverse components to the overlap, whose direction is those of macroscopic magnetization. As a main result we find that the nature of the ordered phase is altered in an essential way with b. Above an upper cri ti cal value beM (T) there are Mattis states which appear as non-degenerate global mínima, in contrast to diagonal states for b below a lower criticai value bcn (T). Mixed states appear in the range bcn ≤ b ≤ bcm. Emphasis is made on the finite-a case, for which replica-symmetric meanfield theory is used to derive phase-diagrams. A central result is the reduction of the ferromagnetic phase with a. Recursion relations were derived for the dynamics in order to verify the thermodynamic results in th long-time limit. For that purpose, a selfcorrelation has been introduced, in addition to the usual overlap and dispersion of residues. Basins of attraction were obtained characterizing the static behaviour.

Повний текст джерелаWe study three distinct disordered systems in the areas of spin glasses and complex fluids, by means of mean-field statistical models. We first analyze the effects of compressibility on the phase diagram of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, a mean-field version of a popular model of spin glasses, which are paradigmatic examples of systems with quenched disorder. We then analyze some typical problems in the area of physics of complex fluids. We investigate the phase diagram of a Maier-Saupe model (MS), which is a sort of archetype of nematic transitions, in a simple lattice version called Maier-Saupe-Zwanzig model (MSZ), with the introduction of a binary variable of disorder to mimic a mixture of rod-like and plate-like mesogens. We show that the emergence of a stable nematic biaxial phase, which has been intensely pursued in the literature, depends on the form of treatment of the disorder variables. Finally, we use the MSZ model, in the presence of non-linear elastic terms and elements of disorder, to reproduce several aspects of the thermodynamic behavior of nematic elastomers, new polymeric materials with the properties of liquid crystals and rubber, and of great importance in the area of soft-matter physics.

Ni-based amorphizable alloys in the bulk form show a good combination of properties, with high mechanical strength and hardness, good ductility and excellent corrosion resistance. These alloys have been used in recent technological applications, for example, in pressure sensors and micro-geared motors. Particularly, Ni-Nb-Zr alloys with amorphous structure show, in addition to good mechanical properties, excellent corrosion resistance in acid medium due to the formation of a Nb- and Zr-rich passive film. In this context, the purpose of this project is to develop Ni-Nb-Zr alloys with high glass-forming ability (GFA) by using the topological λ criterion combined with the average electronegativity difference, Δe , and to carry out its mechanical characterization by nanoindentation. Ni45.5Nb23Zr31.5, Ni50Nb28Zr22, Ni57Nb17.5Zr25.5 and Ni79Nb8.5Zr12.5 alloys were selected and produced in the form of melt-spun ribbons and copper mold cast wedges. The samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nanoindentation. Results from the processing of wedge samples revealed the highest GFA for the Ni50Nb28Zr22 alloy, which presented 60% of amorphous fraction for a thickness of 200 μm and 23% for thickness of 320-480 μm. The alloy Ni45.5Nb23Zr31.5 showed the second highest GFA, making possible to obtain 14% of amorphous fraction for a thickness of 240 μm. The hardness and reduced elastic modulus of the ribbon samples increased in the following order: Ni45.5Nb23Zr31.5 < Ni50Nb28Zr22 < Ni57Nb17.5Zr25.5. For the Ni50Nb28Zr22 alloy, it was attained higher hardness and elastic modulus and lower plastic energy for the wedge compared to the ribbon, which can be ascribed to the higher amount of free volume in the structure of the amorphous ribbon. The compressive yield stress (σy,C) of this alloy was estimated to be 2.5 and 3.2 GPa for ribbon and wedge, respectively. viii
As ligas amorfizáveis de grande volume ou maciças à base de Ni apresentam boa combinação de propriedades, com altos valores de resistência mecânica e dureza, boa dutilidade e excelente resistência à corrosão. Essas ligas têm sido utilizadas em recentes aplicações tecnológicas, por exemplo, em sensores de pressão e em motores com microengrenagens. Especificamente, as ligas Ni-Nb-Zr com estrutura amorfa apresentam, além de boas propriedades mecânicas, excelente resistência à corrosão em meio ácido pela formação de um filme passivo rico em Nb e Zr. Nesse contexto, a proposta do presente trabalho é o desenvolvimento de ligas com alta tendência de formação de estrutura amorfa (TFA) do sistema Ni-Nb-Zr pela aplicação do critério topológico λ combinado com a diferença de eletronegatividade média, Δe , e sua caracterização mecânica por nanoindentação. Foram selecionadas as ligas Ni45,5Nb23Zr31,5, Ni50Nb28Zr22, Ni57Nb17,5Zr25,5 e Ni79Nb8,5Zr12,5, produzidas na forma de fita por melt-spinning e de cunha por fundição em molde de cobre. As amostras foram caracterizadas por espectrometria de massa por ionização acoplada por plasma (ICP-MS), microscopia eletrônica de varredura/espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (MEV/EDS), difratometria de raios X (DRX), calorimetria diferencial de varredura (DSC) e nanoindentação. Os resultados do processamento de amostras em forma de cunha apontaram maior TFA para a liga Ni50Nb28Zr22, que apresentou 60% de fração amorfa para uma espessura de 200 μm e 23% para espessura de 320-480 μm. A liga Ni45,5Nb23Zr31,5 apresentou a segunda maior TFA, possibilitando a obtenção de 14% de fração amorfa para uma espessura de 240 μm. A dureza e o módulo elástico reduzido das amostras de fita aumentaram na seguinte seqüência: Ni45,5Nb23Zr31,5 < Ni50Nb28Zr22 < Ni57Nb17,5Zr25,5. A liga Ni50Nb28Zr22 apresentou maior dureza, maior módulo elástico e menor energia plástica na forma de cunha do que na forma de fita, o que pode ser atribuído ao maior volume livre contido na estrutura da fita. A tensão de escoamento em compressão (σy,C) da liga Ni50Nb28Zr22 foi estimada em 2,5 e 3,2 GPa em forma de fita e de cunha, respectivamente.

Повний текст джерелаIn the following study I will report the results from the self-study i have conducted in order to explore whether my study process differs based on jazz and classical repertoire on the instru- ment double bass. The study also reports whether I obtain and use the studied technique and the material in the given jazz and string orchestra occasions, and how the study differs to the extent of previous experience knowledge. The study takes the form of how I, as an experienced jazz bassist study and play in string or- chestras as a novice in that environment, and how I deepen my study of the jazz ensembles. In order that the study has a great focus on study and ensemble play, it will also be discussed whether the different ensemble cultures differ in terms of control, influence and expression. The work is processed through video documentation that takes place during study and practice sessions, as well as ensemble occasions for the purpose of follow-up. The video documentation will be processed through transcription and analysis where the material is categorized according to different categories in order to answer lesser questions. The work is based on a socio-cultural perspective and with a focus on how I use knowledge and artifacts in different musical cultures and environments, and how I learn based on the different ensemble forms. The result of the work shows how the note reading in the string orchestra is directly connected to my hearing, and by studying the sheet music, my hearing is conditioned to my psychomotor skills. The study also shows whether less technical deficiencies with the implement strings contribute to moving the gaze from the note to the strings, which has consequences in terms of flow and concentra- tion. As far as the musical flow in the orchestra is concerned, the note reading is facilitated by the ensemble's harmonious interaction and tempo. The different ensemble forms appear to differ markedly in terms of control and influence which can be linked to the differences of the ensem- bles in terms of size. The study also shows how the use of other instruments contributes to a greater perception of the repertoire of the jazz ensemble, which receives positive benefits as far as hearing, improvisation and sense of form are concerned.
