Abstract: Many unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods have been proposed to bridge the domain gap by utilizing domain invariant information. Most approaches have chosen depth as such information and achieved remarkable successes. Despite their effectiveness, using depth as domain invariant information in UDA tasks may lead to multiple issues, such as excessively high extraction costs and difficulties in achieving a reliable prediction quality. As a result, we introduce Edge Learning based Domain Adaptation (ELDA), a framework which incorporates edge information into its training process to serve as a type of domain invariant information. Our experiments quantitatively and qualitatively demonstrate that the incorporation of edge information is indeed beneficial and effective, and enables ELDA to outperform the contemporary state-of-the-art methods on two commonly adopted benchmarks for semantic segmentation based UDA tasks.

Abstract: A flagpole holder for vehicles comprises a plurality of appropriate-depth insert grooves vertically cut at one side, and a pair of first and second clip sections symmetrically extending at the other side wherein the adjacent side surfaces of the first and second clip sections are kept apart without contact to each other to preset an appropriate-length flexible space there-between, and the internal lateral sides of the first and second clip sections are respectively defined by an appropriate-width abutment surface to fit to a flexible anti-slippery collar thereby. Besides, the first and second clip sections are respectively equipped with a fitting bore relative to the flexible space for the assembly of a locking element and a locked element therewith. Therefore, the flagpole holder can be easily secured onto a handle of various-type vehicles for stable location of pole bodies with flags or pinwheels attached thereto, achieving convenient and versatile application thereby.
