Thermal to visible face image translation aims at synthesizing high-fidelity visible face images from thermal counterparts, placing emphasis on preserving the identity of the faces. While remarkable progress has been achieved related to the quality of synthetic images, as well as related to associated face matching accuracy, interpreting the...

One of the main challenges in performing thermalto-visible face image translation is preserving the identity across different spectral bands. Existing work does not effectively disentangle the identity from other confounding factors. In this paper, we propose a Latent-Guided Generative Adversarial Network (LG-GAN) to explicitly decompose an...

Automated thermal-to-visible face recognition has received increased attention due to benefits related to lowlight applications. Towards improvement of related matching accuracy, we hereby present TFLD, a detector of face and landmarks operating in the thermal spectrum. Our proposed TFLD is based on the architecture of YOLOv5, integrating...

Caffeine (1, 3, 7-trimethylxanthine), an alkaloid produced by plants, has antioxidant and insecticide properties that can affect metabolism and cognition. In vertebrates, the metabolites derived from caffeine have been identified, and their functions have been characterized. However, the metabolites of caffeine in insects remain unknown. Thus,...

Stressful life events are primary environmental factors that markedly contribute to depression by triggering brain cellular maladaptations. Dysregulation of ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons has been causally linked to the appearance of social withdrawal and anhedonia, two classical manifestations of depression. However, the...
