Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is among the most serious complications in the field of endoprosthetics. The number of PJIs is increasing worldwide and poses a real interdisciplinary challenge for everyone involved. For the patient concerned, it is necessary to promptly work out an adequate therapy solution to fight off the infection. Both the clinical experience of the surgeon and the proper diagnostic processes are prerequisite for the reliable detection and identification of an infection.

This volume discusses the impact of human rights law on other fields of international law. Does international human rights law modify other fields of international law? Contributions focus on possible spillover effects of human rights on international economic or international criminal law. Does international human rights law have a streamlining effect on international law as a whole? This might be identified as a process of constitutionalisation. In this book, human rights can be understood as one of the core principles of international legal order and thus have an effect on the general law of treaties or on the settlement of disputes. Although human rights law is a relatively young field of international law, its content and core values today are of major importance for the interpretation of international law as a whole. As we witness a redefinition of sovereignty as a responsibility of states towards the people and a shift to greater relevance of the individual in international law in general, it is a logical consequence that human rights have an impact on other areas of international law.

Viele Anwendungen des Maschinellen Sehens benötigen die automatische Analyse und Rekonstruktion von statischen und dynamischen Szenen. Deshalb ist die automatische Analyse von dreidimensionalen Szenen und Objekten ein Bereich der intensiv erforscht wird. Die meisten Ansätze konzentrieren sich auf die Rekonstruktion statischer Szenen, da die Rekonstruktion nicht-statischer Geometrien viel herausfordernder ist und voraussetzt, dass dreidimensionale Szeneninformation mit hoher zeitlicher Auflösung verfügbar ist. Statische Szenenanalyse wird beispielsweise in der autonomen Navigation, für die Überwachung und für die Erhaltung des Kulturerbes eingesetzt. Andererseits eröffnet die Analyse ...
