Abstract: Embodiments identify joints of a multi-limb body in an image. One such embodiment unifies depth of a plurality of multi-scale feature maps generated from an image of a multi-limb body to create a plurality of feature maps each having a same depth. In turn, for each of the plurality of feature maps having the same depth, an initial indication of one or more joints in the image is generated. The one or more joints are located at an interconnection of a limb to the multi-limb body or at an interconnection of a limb to another limb. To continue, a final indication of the one or more joints in the image is generated using each generated initial indication of the one or more joints.

Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a cathode film layer of lithium ion batteries through atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) without using polymer adhesive. The ratio of active substance can approach 100%. A cathode film layer fabricated by APS is porous, where, with the coordination of a liquid electrolyte, electrolyte penetration paths are provided to significantly increase the area of reaction. Hence, the effective thickness of the film layer is relatively thick and the capacity of battery is increased. As an example, the thickness of a film layer of lithium cobalt oxide fabricated accordingly reaches more than 100 microns and its maximum electric capacity per unit area reaches 6 milliampere-hours per square centimeter (mAh/cm2).

An embodiment is a system comprising a neural network detector configured to produce planar coordinates of landmarks at points of the object in the 2D image and a depth coordinate estimator. The planar coordinates include planar coordinate pairs. The depth coordinate estimator is configured to receive the 2D image and the planar coordinates and to estimate a depth coordinate for each planar coordinate pair of each landmark to generate the 3D landmarks. The system reduces network parameters from MB to KB and has better performance relative to state-of-the-art methods. The system may be configured to apply the 3D landmarks for face alignment, virtual face makeup, face recognition, eye gaze tracking, face synthesis, or other face related application.
