Influence of Steel Fiber Content on the Fractal Evolution of Bending Cracks in Alkali-Activated Slag Concrete Beams by Xiaohui Yuan, Ziyu Cui, Gege Chen

“…This study systematically investigates the effect of steel fiber content on the fractal evolution characteristics of bending cracks in alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC) beams. A four-point bending test on simply supported beams, combined with digital image correlation (DIC) technology, was employed to quantitatively analyze the fractal dimension of crack propagation paths in AASC beams with steel fiber contents ranging from 0% to 1.4%, using the box-counting method. …”

Cost-effective annotation of fisheye images for object detection by K. Zhang, A. Elalailyi, L. Perfetti, F. Fassi

“…It also seeks a way to prove that the annotation can be converted to fisheye images, resulted into a pre-process, which will facilitate the data preparation process. The tests involve annotations with standard box and quadrilateral polygon, the later turned out to be preserving most of the wanted image content after the conversion. …”
