Face repairing based on transfer learning method with fewer training samples: application to a Terracotta Warrior with facial cracks and a Buddha with a broken nose

Abstract In this paper, a method based on transfer learning is proposed to recover the three-dimensional shape of cultural relics faces from a single old photo.It can simultaneously reconstruct the three-dimensional facial structure and align the texture of the cultural relics with fewer training samples.The UV position map is used to represent the

Intraspecific correlations of basal and maximal metabolic rates in birds and the aerobic capacity model for the evolution of endothermy.

The underlying assumption of the aerobic capacity model for the evolution of endothermy is that basal (BMR) and maximal aerobic metabolic rates are phenotypically linked.However, because BMR is largely a function of central organs whereas maximal metabolic output is largely a function of skeletal muscles, the mechanistic underpinnings for their lin
