Warpage deformation analysis of AMB ceramic substrates in power modules

Driven by the increasing demand for high-power systems, ceramic substrates have received more attention for handling higher power density. Warpage in active metal brazed (AMB) ceramic substrate becomes a critical issue as it can deteriorate the reliability performance. This study comprises three phases, including investigation of the cause of...

Assessment of Parkinson's Disease Severity from Videos Using Deep Architectures

Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, i.e., bradykinesia, rest tremor, rigidity, etc. Assessment of the severity of PD symptoms with clinical rating scales, however, is subject to inter-rater variability. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based automatic PD diagnosis method using videos to assist the...

FMCW Radar-Based Hand Gesture Recognition using Spatiotemporal Deformable and Context-Aware Convolutional 5D Feature Representation

Recently, frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar-based hand gesture recognition (HGR) using deep learning has achieved favorable performance. However, many existing methods use extracted features separately, i.e., using one of the range, Doppler, azimuth, or elevation angle information, or a combination of any two, to train...

An Approach to Map Visibility in The Built Environment from Airborne LiDAR Point Clouds

Sustainable development can only be achieved with an innovative improvement from the way we currently analyze, design, build and manage our urban spaces. Current digital analysis and design methods for cities, such as visibility analysis, deeply rely on mapping and modeling techniques. However, most methods fall short of depicting the real...
