Examining effects of climatic factors on flexible pavement performance and service life (2013)
Journal Article
Qiao, Y., Flintsch, G., Dawson, A., & Parry, T. (2013). Examining effects of climatic factors on flexible pavement performance and service life. Transportation Research Record, 2349(1), 100-107. https://doi.org/10.3141/2349-12

The potential risk of climate change raises interest in how it may affect the deterioration rates of flexible pavements and how pavement service lives would be altered as a consequence. Previous studies demonstrated that temperature is the most influ... Read More about Examining effects of climatic factors on flexible pavement performance and service life.

Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tzimiropoulos, G., & Pantic, M. Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild. Presented at 2013 IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV)

We describe a very simple framework for deriving the most-well known optimization problems in Active Appearance Models (AAMs), and most importantly for providing efficient solutions. Our formulation results in two optimization problems for fast and e... Read More about Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild.
