Pan-sharpening is the process of fusing panchromatic (PAN) and multispectral (MS) images. Its critical focus lies in accurately capturing the contour information from the PAN image during the fusion process and presenting it at a high resolution. However, existing deep learning methods lack the precise capture of delicate and smooth contour information, resulting in contour diffusion that affects ...Show More
Remote sensing image captioning plays an important role in advancing remote sensing image understanding with natural language generation. However, it is difficult to generate accurate semantic descriptions of crucial objects and their relationships, due to large coverage and abundant information in remote sensing images.

This article introduces a novel approach that leverages machine learning (ML) to optimize the breakdown voltage (BV) of lateral double-diffused MOSFET (LDMOS) devices featuring multifloating buried layers (MFBLs). Moving away from the traditional, complex physical derivation methods, our research integrates neural networks with genetic algorithms to forge an adaptive optimization framework. Initia...Show More
Recently, semantic segmentation of water in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has attracted the attention of more and more scholars. However, existing methods usually require many accurate manually labeled pixel-level water annotations of SAR images, which leads to the problem that they are often time-consuming and costly. To mitigate this problem, we apply the weakly-supervised semantic segme...Show More
Mini/Micro LEDs are becoming the next generation of displays, with sizes shrinking to less than 100 μm/50 μm and integration scaling increasing by more than 100-fold. Fast and precise sorting, which includes the identification and localization of mass mini/micro LED chips, has become an urgent need in the industry due to its high efficiency and reliability. However, the small size, high density, a...Show More
The spiking neural network (SNN) is the third generation of neural networks, valued for its biological interpretability, hardware compatibility, and low power consumption. While field programmable gate array (FPGA), based SNN accelerators show promise with their intelligent design and low power consumption, existing models lack a crucial spiking encoding module. This leads to increased pre-process...Show More
This paper studies the domain generalized remote sensing semantic segmentation (RSSS), aiming to generalize a model trained only on the source domain to unseen domains. Existing methods in computer vision treat style information as domain characteristics to achieve domain-agnostic learning. Nevertheless, their generalizability to RSSS remains constrained, due to the incomplete consideration of dom...Show More
Aerial image objects are usually orientated arbitrarily, with a large scale range, and densely distributed. Traditional horizontal bounding box (HBB) detectors tend to filter out densely distributed objects leading to missed detections, such as ship (SH) and vehicle. Therefore, oriented object detection has become a mainstream solution in recent years. The 2-D Gaussian distribution representation ...Show More
The task of fine-grained aircraft recognition is crucial in the field of remote sensing. Despite some progress achieved by traditional deep learning methods in addressing this challenge, they are often perceived as a “black box,” lacking transparent explanations for model decisions. Current interpretable methods based on attention mechanisms, although providing some interpretability, do not align ...Show More
3D object detection is a key technology in automatic driving perception, which can provide the basis for safe and reliable autonomous driving.

Specifically, we desi...Show More
With the development of remote sensing technology, remote sensing object detection has been widely applied in various fields, but it still faces some thorny challenges, such as the following: 1) the complexity of object scale changes in remote sensing images makes it difficult to improve the performance of small object detection and 2) remote sensing images have complex backgrounds and densely arr...Show More
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and self-attention (SA) are highly effective techniques used for the fusion of multisource remote sensing (RS) data, and they have found extensive application in Earth observation (EO) tasks.
