Video crowd counting method based on conv-pooling deep spatial and temporal features by Qiang LI, Zilu KANG

“…Due to angle of camera,background,population density distribution and occlusion limitations,traditional video crowd counting methods based on underlying visual features are often difficult to achieve ideal results.Using the temporal and spatial features of video and conv-pooling method,high-level visual features were formed,local feature aggregation descriptors were used for quantization and codebook calculation to achieve accurate description of video crowd information.This method made full use of video motion and appearance information.Based on convolutional neural networks and pooling methods,the ability to describe video intrinsic attributes and features was improved.Experimental results show that the proposed method has higher precision and better robustness than traditional video crowd counting methods.…”

Varying aggregate sizes, plasticizers, and supplementary cementitious materials to efficiently use Portland clinker in concrete by Asahi Amitani, Sabbie A Miller

“…PC is the primary source of GHG emissions from concrete, a function of the emissions derived from the production of its clinker, a kilned, quenched material composed of calcium silicates that, by mass, makes up the majority of PC. While considerable attention has been given to reducing the GHG emissions from PC manufacture, better utilization of other resources used in concrete can lower the demand for the level of clinker necessary in any given mixture. …”
