Abstract: Scene reconstruction is a computer vision process that creates a model of a scene from a given input, usually including creating a three-dimensional (3D) scene model from one or more input two-dimensional (2D) images of the scene. High-quality scene reconstruction and rendering is useful for various applications, such as autonomous agent applications and scene editing applications. Existing scene reconstruction methods encounter limitations in dynamic scenes where moving objects are not consistent across views from different times, and these methods generally lack the motion cues essential for effective object-environment decomposition and further lead to incomplete environment reconstruction of novel views from persistent occlusion of environmental structures.

A feeder panel for feeding a radiating element is mounted on the mounting surface and has a feed section extending across the first and second hollow channels, where the coupling between a ground in the feed section and the cavity pair is changed such that the resonance caused by the coupling is at least partially shifted out from a predetermined operating frequency range.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method for preparing a thermosetting midsole using foamed particles with graphene oxide on surface. The method comprises: fusing the foamed particles with graphene oxide on surface with each other in a midsole mold under steam heating conditions to form the thermosetting midsole, wherein the body of the foamed particles with graphene oxide on surface is formed by mixing 60 wt % to 95 wt % thermoplastic polyurethane and 5 wt % to 40 wt % thermosetting polymer and foaming under non curing conditions.
