Correcting the Defects of the Default Tone Mapping Operators Implemented in the JPEGXT HDR Image Compression Standard

This short article reports two imperfections or implementation bugs of the default tone mapping operators (TMOs) of the JPEGXT HDR image compression standard.In JPEGXT, profiles A and C here use the same default TMO, while profile B uses a different default TMO.The first imperfection is with the default TMO of profile A and profile C.Specifically,

Notes on Scolytus fagi Walsh, 1867 with the designation of a neotype, distribution notes and a key to Scolytus Geoffroy of America east of the Mississippi River (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae, Scolytini)

The identification of Scolytus fagi Walsh has been difficult because of the lack of diagnostic literature, the sukin body lotion woolworths occurrence of several morphologically similar sympatric Scolytus species and the loss of the syntypes.In an effort to reduce taxonomic confusion, we designate a neotype for S.fagi, redescribe the male and femal

Fake Banknote Recognition Using Deep Learning

Recently, some state-of-the-art works have used deep learning-based architectures, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs), for banknote recognition and copyright detection with promising results.However, it is not clear which design strategy is more appropriate (custom or by transfer learning) in terms of classifier performance and infer
