Multitarget Tracking of Pedestrians in Video Sequences Based on Particle Filters by Hui Li, Shengwu Xiong, Pengfei Duan, Xiangzhen Kong

“…In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the detection, the algorithm firstly obtains target regions in training frames by combining the methods of background subtraction and Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) and then establishes discriminative appearance model by generating patches and constructing codebooks using superpixel and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features in those target regions. During the process of tracking, the algorithm uses the similarity between candidates and codebooks as observation likelihood function and processes severe occlusion condition to prevent drift and loss phenomenon caused by target occlusion. …”

Asymmetric ENSO Forcing on the South Pacific Meridional Mode by Cheng Qi, Fan Jia

“…Strong La Niña induces negative SPMM more effectively than El Niño induces positive SPMM, due to differences in ENSO teleconnections and their intensity. During boreal summer and fall of strong La Niña, intense transient eddy feedback reshapes the Pacific‐South America pattern into a South Pacific Oscillation‐like pressure dipole, strengthening trade winds and promoting negative SPMM growth, a process absent in El Niño. …”
