Abstract: Object 3D reconstruction from a single-view image is an ill-posed problem. Inferring the self-occluded part of an object makes 3D reconstruction a challenging and ambiguous task. In this ...

Abstract: We introduce a new underwater robotic platform with a tilting thruster mechanism for hovering motion. The tilting thruster mechanism can implement six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion with ...

Abstract: The explosive rise of Internet of Things (IoT) systems have notably increased the potential attack surfaces for cybercriminals. Accounting for the features and constraints of IoT devices, ...

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and now GPT4, are considered a significant breakthrough in conversational artificial intelligence. Academic institutions have varying responses ...

Abstract: In this study, the recent advances and trends in Cu–Cu hybrid bonding will be investigated. Emphasis is placed on the definition, kinds, advantages and disadvantages, challenges ...

Abstract: The system frequency response (SFR) model describes the average network frequency response after a disturbance and has been applied to a wide variety of dynamic studies. However, the ...

Abstract: This paper describes a modified phase-shifted carrier-based pulsewidth-modulation (PSC-PWM) scheme for modular multilevel converters (MMC). In order to reduce the average device switching ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present an improved fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm for image segmentation by introducing a tradeoff weighted fuzzy factor and a kernel metric. The tradeoff weighted fuzzy ...

Abstract: Computation offloading services provide required computing resources for vehicles with computation-intensive tasks. Past computation offloading research mainly focused on mobile edge ...

Abstract: Due to the current structure of digital factory, it is necessary to build the smart factory to upgrade the manufacturing industry. Smart factory adopts the combination of physical technology ...

Abstract: We develop an efficient general-purpose blind/no-reference image quality assessment (IQA) algorithm using a natural scene statistics (NSS) model of discrete cosine transform (DCT) ...

Abstract: Grid modernization and large-scale integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs) into distribution systems have resulted in the development of new control strategies relying on information ...
