Abstract: Many modern object detectors demonstrate outstanding performances by using the mechanism of looking and thinking twice. In this paper, we explore this mechanism in the backbone design for ...

Abstract: Cloud data provenance is metadata that records the history of the creation and operations performed on a cloud data object. Secure data provenance is crucial for data accountability, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a distributed secondary control scheme for accurate power allocation and voltage restoration in islanded dc microgrids. Conventionally the droop control function is ...

Abstract: Emerging smart contract systems over decentralized cryptocurrencies allow mutually distrustful parties to transact safely without trusted third parties. In the event of contractual breaches ...

Abstract: In this paper, a 2.5 b/stage pipelined time-to-digital converter (TDC) is presented. For pipelined operation, a novel time-register is proposed which is capable of storing, adding and ...

Abstract: We present a mixer-duplexer-antenna leaky-wave system based on periodic space-time modulation. This system operates as a full transceiver, where the upconversion and downconversion mixing ...

Abstract: The Kalman filter (KF) is a celebrated signal processing algorithm, implementing optimal state estimation of dynamical systems that are well represented by a linear Gaussian state-space ...

Abstract: Action Quality Assessment (AQA) is a challenging task involving analyzing fine-grained technical subactions, aligning high-level visual-semantic representations, and exploring internal ...

Abstract: Classroom learning behavior recognition can provide effective technical support for teaching and learning. However, in natural classroom teaching scenarios, classroom learning behaviors are ...

Abstract: Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is an enabling technology to engineer the radio signal propagation in wireless networks. By smartly tuning the signal reflection via a large number of ...

Abstract: A microgrid is considered to be a smart power system that can integrate local renewable energy effectively. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy causes operating pressure and ...

Abstract: Skin cancer is caused due to unusual development of skin cells and deadly type cancer. Early diagnosis is very significant and can avoid some categories of skin cancers, such as melanoma and ...
