Different from model-based and appearance-based approaches, our approach retrieves continuous hand motion parameters in real time. First, the hand region is segmented from the depth image. Then, some specific feature points on the hand are located by the random forest classifier, and the relative displacements of these feature points are transformed to a rotation invariant feature vector. Finally, the system retrieves the hand joint parameters by applying the regression functions on the feature vectors. Experimental results are compared with the ground truth dataset obtained by a data glove to show the effectiveness of our approach. The effects of different distances and different rotation angles for the estimation accuracy are also evaluated.展开更多

Applying the flux boundary conditions on borehole wall and water pressure equilibrium conditions inside and outside the borehole wall under barometric pressure （BP）, an analytic solution to well-water level changes has been proposed in this paper. The formulation shows that the BP coefficients increase with time and tend to BP constant. The Change of BP coefficients over time depends only on the ratio of transmissivity （T） to the well radius squared （ r2, ） , and has nothing to do with the change in BP. The BP constant only relates to aquifer loading efficiency （B）, and has nothing to do with the aquifer transmissivity and well radius. The BP coefficients＇ change over time in the analytic formulation is consistent with the analysis of measured data from the Nanxi wells. Based on the BP coefficient changes over time, a parameter estimation method is suggested and discussed in its application to the estimation of the aquifer BP constant （or B） and transmissivity by using the Nanxi well data.展开更多
