Impact of Isothermal Layering on the Stability of Saline Soil Subgrade in Cold Regions by Yu Zhang, Xuerui Chen, Meisi Zou, Runze Tian, Yunlong Hou, Bingbing Han

“…When the local temperature dropped below -10°C, the stability has slight decline; CS-1 and CS-2 saline soil subgrade in the ground temperature dropped to 10°C (HC-1 and HC-2 denote two groups of saline soil with high chloride-salt content (≥15%) and low sulfate salt content (≤0.5%), whereas CS-1 and CS-2 denote two groups of saline soil with low chloride-salt (≤5%)), the slope stability was significantly improved, and the stability of CS-1 increases slightly with further decrease in temperature.…”

Cross-dataset person re-identification method based on multi-pool fusion and background elimination network by Yanfeng LI, Bin ZHANG, Jia SUN, Houjin CHEN, Jinlei ZHU

“…The existing cross-dataset person re-identification methods were generally aimed at reducing the difference of data distribution between two datasets,which ignored the influence of background information on recognition performance.In order to solve this problem,a cross-dataset person re-ID method based on multi-pool fusion and background elimination network was proposed.To describe both global and local features and implement multiple fine-grained representations,a multi-pool fusion network was constructed.To supervise the network to extract useful foreground features,a feature-level supervised background elimination network was constructed.The final network loss function was defined as a multi-task loss,which combined both person classification loss and feature activation loss.Three person re-ID benchmarks were employed to evaluate the proposed method.Using MSMT17 as the training set,the cross-dataset mAP for Market-1501 was 35.53%,which was 9.24% higher than ResNet50.Using MSMT17 as the training set,the cross-dataset mAP for DukeMTMC-reID was 41.45%,which was 10.72% higher than ResNet50.Compared with existing methods,the proposed method shows better cross-dataset person re-ID performance.…”
