We localize facial landmarks according to the MAP crite-rion. Conventional gradient ascent algorithms get stuck at the local optimal solution. Gibbs sampling is a kind of Markov ChainMonte Carlo(MCMC) algorithm. We choose it for optimization because it is easy to implement and it guarantees global conver-gence. The posterior distribution is obtained by learning prior distribution and likelihood function. Prior distribution is assumedGaussian. We use Principle Component Analysis(PCA) to reduce the dimensionality and learn the prior distribution. Local LinearSupport Vector Machine(LL-SVM) is used to get the likelihood function of every key point. In our experiment, we compare our de-tector with some other well-known methods. The results show that the proposed method is very simple and efficient. It can avoidtrapping in local optimal solution.展开更多

Methods A novel method is presented for dense-shape correspondence, whereby the spatial information transformed by neural networks is combined with the projections onto spectral maps to overcome the “chicken or egg” challenge by selectively sampling only points with high confidence in their alignment. These points then contribute to the alignment and spectral loss terms, boosting training, and accelerating convergence by a factor of five. To ensure full unsupervised learning, the Gromov–Hausdorff distance metric was used to select the points with the maximal alignment score displaying most confidence. Results The effectiveness of the proposed approach was demonstrated on several benchmark datasets, whereby results were reported as superior to those of spectral and spatial-based methods. Conclusions The proposed method provides a promising new approach to dense-shape correspondence, addressing the key challenges in the field and offering significant advantages over the current methods, including faster convergence, improved accuracy, and reduced computational costs.展开更多

The sampling machine primarily consists of truss support mechanism, main carriage mechanism, auxiliary carriage mechanism, sampling rods, and a PLC controller. The movement of the main carriage on the truss, the auxiliary carriage on the main carriage, and the vertical movement of the sampling rods on the auxiliary carriage are controlled through PLC programming. The sampling machine accurately controls the position of the sampling rods, enabling random sampling with six rods to ensure comprehensive and random sampling. Additionally, sampling experiments were conducted, and the results showed that the multi-rod grain sampling machine simultaneously samples with six rods, achieving a sampling frequency of 38 times per hour. The round trip time for the sampling rods is 33 seconds per cycle, and the sampling length direction reaches 18 m. This study provides valuable insights for the design of multi-rod grain sampling machines.展开更多
