2. Learning Dense Stereo Matching for Digital Surface Models from Satellite Imagery

Author

Abstract

Digital Surface Model generation from satellite imagery is a difficult task that has been largely overlooked by the deep learning community. Stereo reconstruction techniques developed for terrestrial systems including self driving cars do not translate well to satellite imagery where image pairs vary considerably. In this work we present neural network tailored for Digital Surface Model generation, a ground truthing and training scheme which maximizes available hardware, and we present a comparison to existing methods. The resulting models are smooth, preserve boundaries, and enable further processing. This represents one of the first attempts at leveraging deep learning in this domain.

3. Robust Shape Registration using Fuzzy Correspondences

Author

Abstract

Shape registration is the process of aligning one 3D model to another. Most previous methods to align shapes with no known correspondences attempt to solve for both the transformation and correspondences iteratively. We present a shape registration approach that solves for the transformation using fuzzy correspondences to maximize the overlap between the given shape and the target shape. A coarse to fine approach with Levenberg-Marquardt method is used for optimization. Real and synthetic experiments show our approach is robust and outperforms other state of the art methods when point clouds are noisy, sparse, and have non-uniform density. Experiments show our method is more robust to initialization and can handle larger scale changes and rotation than other methods. We also show that the approach can be used for 2D-3D alignment via ray-point alignment.

Abstract

The authors of this paper present the initial outcome of using a SPARC Grant to train inter-professionals to implement a curriculum used in the provision of a co-facilitative poetry therapy group. Drawing upon best practices of poetry therapy, this innovative approach involved a professional poet and a therapist and contributes to the field because it is transferable among a variety of client populations. The authors offer an overview of the training used for inter-professionals located in rural communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The authors of this paper review the efficacy of poetry therapy and introduce a curriculum to be used in the provision of a co-facilitative poetry therapy group process which involves a professional poet and a therapist. Drawing upon best practices of poetry therapy, the paper demonstrates that this innovative approach not only contributes to the field but is transferable among a variety of client populations. The authors present a curriculum, writing exercises, samples of poems, and include a plan for efficacy assessment in the context of a domestic violence survival group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

33. The Effects of Instruction on Self-Determination on Transition Students' Levels of Goal-Setting, Goal Expression and Action

Abstract

Students with disabilities in transition from school to adulthood often experience problems with self-determination skills, especially goal-related skills (e.g., goal setting, expression, and taking action). Instruction in these skills is needed. This project examined the effect of instructing portions of the self-determination intervention Whose Future is it Anyway? (WFA) dealing with goal-related skills and its effect on goal setting, expressing, and taking action. Participants included five students with disabilities in a transition program ages 18 to 21. Procedures involved a pretest using the ChoiceMaker Assessment and the Arc Scale, followed by the implementation of the WFA intervention, and posttests using the same two assessments as well as a rating scale completed by teachers independent of the study administered immediately following the intervention. The measures of participants' goal-setting, expression, and taking action as measured by teachers independent of the study increased using the ChoiceMaker assessment and Teacher's Scale showed a degree of growth during the intervention. The student-reported measures using the Arc scale did not show an increase due to a poor match between the curriculum and the researcher's choice of questions from the scale. The results that were obtained have implications in terms of knowing that goal-related skills can be increased through the use of self-determination interventions. These finding may have implications for additional research and curriculum usage in high schools.
