EMGSense: A Low-Effort Self-Supervised Domain Adaptation Framework for EMG Sensing

This paper presents EMGSense, a low-effort self-supervised domain adaptation framework for sensing applications based on Electromyography (EMG). EMGSense addresses one of the fundamental challenges in EMG cross-user sensing—the significant performance degradation caused by time-varying biological heterogeneity—in a low-effort (data-efficient and...

Quantitative analyses of ageing status of dam concrete for a 25-year-old dam

In order to evaluate the aging status of the dam concrete for a 25-years-old concrete dam, the internal concrete and surface layer of the dam were tested by elastic wave computerized tomography (CT) and spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW). Also mechanical strength and elastic wave velocity were tested for the concrete cores from the dam....

Elderly Care: Using Deep Learning for Multi-Domain Activity Classification

Nowadays, health monitoring issues are increasing as the worldwide population is aging. In this paper, the radar modality is used to classify with radar signature automatically. The classic approach is to extract features from micro-Doppler signatures for classification. This data representation domain has its limitations for activities...

Human activity classification with radar signal processing and machine learning

As the number of older adults increases worldwide, new paradigms for indoor activity monitoring are required to keep people living at home independently longer. Radar-based human activity recognition has been identified as a sensing modality of choice because it is privacy-preserving and does not require end-users compliance or manipulation. In...

An uniform real-estate registration model for China

The Interim Regulation on Real-Estate Registration (IRRER) was issued by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China (SCPRC) in 2014 and took effect on March 1, 2015. This regulation stipulates that the Ministry of Land and Resources of the People’s Republic of China (MLRPRC) will be responsible for the duties of real-estate registration...

Hydrologic and cryospheric processes observed from space

Ten Dragon 3 projects deal with hydrologic and cryosphere processes, with a focus on the Himalayas and Qinghai – Tibet Plateau, but not limited to that. At the 1st Dragon 3 Progress Symposium in 2013 a significant potential for a better and deeper integration appeared very clearly and we worked out an overview of the ten projects identifying...
