Neural network approach to ensuring visual coherence in augmented reality flight simulators by A. L. Gorbunov, Yunhan Li

“…It is VC that provides new capabilities of AR simulators, which fundamentally distinguish from conventional flight simulators with virtual reality. Recently, VC has been increasingly provided by neural network methods, thereby, the most important aspects of VC are lighting conditions, so the major share of research is focused on transferring these conditions (location of light sources and their color tone) from the real world to the virtual one, but the great body of the known approaches are characterized by the lack of versatility and the need to perform manual procedures. …”

Un dépotoir urbain témoin de l’équarrissage des équidés à Nice (Alpes-Maritimes, France) dans la seconde moitié du xvie siècle by Romuald Mercurin, Isabelle Rodet-Belarbi, Pierre-Yves Larrat, Fanny Lelandais, Olivier Thuaudet

“…By its location on the margins of the city and in the immediate vicinity of the fortifications, as well as by the clear majority of equine remains, the Nice dump is similar to middens linked to urban knacker’s yards that are now well documented by archaeology in northern France, even though they remain virtually unknown in Mediterranean France. These contexts bear witness to a practice that is poorly documented in written sources, namely the processing of animal carcasses, and all at once raise questions about waste management in an urban environment, the status of equines and the fate of the materials removed.…”
