Werde heute mal den ALLNET ALL3419 als Thermometer und Sensorzentrale im Monitoring testen. Gibt bei Amazon gerade für 153,- €. Damit ist das System günstiger als unsere bisherige Lösung auf Basis eines Raspberry Pi und 1wire Sensoren. Bin gespannt, wie sich das Ding so schlägt.

SyncTalk++: High-Fidelity and Efficient Synchronized Talking Heads Synthesis Using Gaussian Splatting
Achieving high synchronization in the synthesis of realistic, speech-driven talking head videos presents a significant challenge. A lifelike talking head requires synchronized coordination of subject identity, lip movements, facial expressions, and head poses. The absence of these synchronizations is a fundamental flaw, leading to unrealistic results. To address the critical issue of synchronization, identified as the ''devil'' in creating realistic talking heads, we introduce SyncTalk++, which…

Synchronization of lasers with complex spatio-temporal dynamics
Synchronization is among the most fascinating dynamical behaviors through which oscillators like lasers align their temporal dynamics under weak coupling. So far, experimental studies have been restricted to lasers exhibiting structured temporal dynamics, such as periodic, mode-locked, or chaotic regimes, the latter usually induced by feedback or optical injection. We now successfully achieve synchronization of two spatially extended lasers with intrinsically chaotic dynamics. We observe synchr…

Human Motion Capture from Loose and Sparse Inertial Sensors with Garment-aware Diffusion Models
Motion capture using sparse inertial sensors has shown great promise due to its portability and lack of occlusion issues compared to camera-based tracking. Existing approaches typically assume that IMU sensors are tightly attached to the human body. However, this assumption often does not hold in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we present a new task of full-body human pose estimation using sparse, loosely attached IMU sensors. To solve this task, we simulate IMU recordings from an existing…
