Breaking New Ground in Monocular Depth Estimation with Dynamic Iterative Refinement and Scale Consistency by Akmalbek Abdusalomov, Sabina Umirzakova, Makhkamov Bakhtiyor Shukhratovich, Azamat Kakhorov, Young-Im Cho

“…In this paper, we propose the Dynamic Iterative Monocular Depth Estimation (DI-MDE) framework, which integrates an iterative refinement process with a novel scale-alignment module to address these issues. Our approach combines elastic depth bins that adjust dynamically based on uncertainty estimates with a scale-alignment mechanism to ensure consistency between static and dynamic regions. …”

Controlling aluminum casting from stationary furnace by E. S. Kinev, A. A. Tyapin, E. A. Golovenko, Yu. S. Avdulova

“…The device is one of the varieties of linear MHD machines with a core and windings with a variable number of pole pairs and the sequence of switching windings is determined by the algorithm of the control unit modules. Due to the open configuration of the magnetic circuit of the MHD inductor asymmetry of the magnetomotive forces of the windings occurs, which leads to a distortion of the low-frequency running magnetic field. …”
