The militarization of conservation: a different perspective

Is the increased use in wildlife conservation of techniques derived from military and security services appropriate? One aspect of this issue that remains poorly considered is whether all actors engaged in conservation projects that have a security orientation are engaged primarily in conservation.Western intelligence agencies are known to have use

Real Time 3D Facial Movement Tracking Using a Monocular Camera

The paper proposes a robust framework for 3D facial movement tracking in real time using a monocular camera.It is designed to estimate the 3D face pose and local facial animation such as eyelid movement and mouth movement.The framework firstly utilizes the Discriminative Shape Regression method to locate the facial feature points on the 2D image an
