Uncertainty-Encoded Multi-Modal Fusion for Robust Object Detection in Autonomous Driving

Multi-modal fusion has shown initial promising results for object detection of autonomous driving perception. However, many existing fusion schemes do not consider the quality of each fusion input and may suffer from adverse conditions on one or more sensors. While predictive uncertainty has been applied to characterize single-modal object...

The magnitudes of multi-physics effects on geothermal reservoir characteristics during the production of enhanced geothermal system

The multi-physics coupling process during the heat extraction from enhanced geothermal system, encompassing thermo(T)-hydro(H)-mechanical(M)-chemical(C) interactions, plays a pivotal role in changing geothermal reservoir characteristics. However, a comprehensive quantitative assessment of these multi-physics behaviors has been lacking. In...

Matching images and text with multi-modal tensor fusion and re-ranking

A major challenge in matching images and text is that they have intrinsically different data distributions and feature representations. Most existing approaches are based either on embedding or classification, the first one mapping image and text instances into a common embedding space for distance measuring, and the second one regarding...

Design of 3D Wireless Power Transfer System Based on 3D Printed Electronics

2D coil design limits the use of wireless power transfer (WPT) in many products with freeform outer shapes. In this paper, enabled by 3D printed electronics, we propose a systematic approach to design and fabricate 3D coils for WPT. Based on the circular spiral and rectangular spiral patterns, 3D receiver and transmitter coils can be...
