Background/Motivation: Models that can recognise human skin, body parts, or scenes are often used to detect erotic and pornographic material. With the help of appropriate datasets [1], classification and object detection models can be trained. However, there are also images that are obviously erotic or pornographic, but cannot be recognised by conventional methods. This applies, for example, to people in skin-tight latex or leather clothing. Existing approaches in the field of "Human Parsing" can already segment people and their clothing well. Additionally, datasets like Fashionpedia [2]…

Here you create change In thermal embossing, a microstructure is transferred onto thermoplastic substrates through forming. The associated heating and cooling cycles lead to transient thermal expansion in the stamp and substrate, which in turn reduces the molding quality. In the context of this thesis, it should be investigated whether shear stresses in the embossing contact can be reduced through intelligent combination of materials with different stiffnesses and thermal expansion coefficients. The developed model (e.g., in Matlab) can subsequently be used with the help of...
