Pages : 197
Book Description
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of 3 workshops, held at the 24th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, Beijing, China, in August 2018: the Third International Workshop on Computer Vision for Analysis of Underwater Imagery, CVAUI 2018, the 7th International Workshop on Computational Forensics, IWCF 2018, and the International Workshop on Multimedia Information Processing for Personality and Social Networks Analysis, MIPPSNA 2018.The 16 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. CVAUI Workshop: The analysis of underwater imagery imposes a series of unique challenges, which need to be tackled by the computer vision community in collaboration with biologists and ocean scientists. IWCF Workshop: With the advent of high-end technology, fraudulent efforts are on rise in many areas of our daily life, may it be fake paper documents, forgery in the digital domain or copyright infringement. In solving the related criminal cases use of pattern recognition (PR) principles is also gaining an important place because of their ability in successfully assisting the forensic experts to solve many of such cases. MIPPSNA Workshop: Its goal is to compile the latest research advances on the analysis of multimodal information for facing problems that are not visually obvious, this is, problems for which the sole visual analysis is insufficient to provide a satisfactory solution.

Handbook of Naval Combat Underwater Demolition Team Training
Author: U.S. Navy
Publisher: Loose Cannon
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
The 'manual' of the Underwater Demolition Teams During World War 2 the US Navy saw the need for specialized teams that could clear the way for amphibious assaults in many theatres of war. Underwater Demolition Teams would remove natural and man-made underwater obstacles which are likely to obstruct landing operations.. With not much more than swim shorts, mask, fins and explosives these commandos were sent in advance of major landings on beach recon missions or to clear underwater obstacles and booby traps. This manual outlines and describes the mission and tactical use of Underwater Demolition Teams, duties of team members, selection of trainees, organization of the school, methods and facilities for training, description and length of courses, instructional references, and training aids. • handling and use of explosives • underwater reconnaissance • removal of obstacles • mines and booby traps • seamanship • night vision and observation • use of rubber boats • physical conditioning • long distance surf swimming Illustrated with over 90 pictures and charts. A must-have for students of WWII special operations or U.S. Navy UDT aka 'Frog Men.' Bonus content: This volume also includes an additional 40+ page after-action report on the preparation, and results of the NCDU teams deployed in support the Normandy Invasions on D-Day, which includes their specific recommendations for future amphibious landings.

Investigation of Two Insect Species for Control of Eurasian Watermilfoil
Author: Gary R. Buckingham
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aquatic insects
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
This report presents the results of the evaluation of two species of insects for the biological control of Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.). One of the species is a native weevil, Litodactylus leucogaster (Marsh.), which attacks the flower spikes, and the other is an accidentally introduced European moth, Acentria nivea (Oliver), whose larvae feed on the leaves and stems. The biology of L. leucogaster was studied in detail and host-specificity tests were conducted with adults and larvae. Since it was determined to be specific to watermilfoils, it was released at Crystal River, Florida, on 22 August 1979. Two adults were captured at Crystal River in November indicating possible establishment. The pyralid moth, A. nivea, was difficult to rear in the laboratory. Since the females were active only one night, successful matings were rare in the small colony. Larval production was best in containers that were minimally disturbed. the larvae required water temperatures below 22 C for development though they could survive short periods at higher temperatures. The larvae were not specific to milfoil; however, A. nivea may still be of interest as a member of a complex of species which attack milfoil. (Author).
