Publication number: 20240177319Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Applicant: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Ting-Hsuan Liao, Huang-Ru Liao, Shan-Ya Yang, Jie-En Yao, Li-Yuan Tsao, Hsu-Shen Liu, Bo-Wun Cheng, Chen-Hao Chao, Chia-Che Chang, Yi-Chen Lo, Chun-Yi Lee

Patent number: 10705053Abstract: The present disclosure provides an aerosol sensing method. The aerosol sensing method includes steps of providing an entering process, providing a particle collecting process and providing a measuring process. The entering process is to allow an aerosol to enter a chamber of a thermal-piezoresistive oscillator-based aerosol sensor, and a thermal-piezoresistive resonator is disposed in the chamber. The particle collecting process is to allow particulate matters in the aerosol to land on at least one proof-mass of the thermal-piezoresistive resonator when the thermal-piezoresistive resonator is not driven. The measuring process is to use an electrical signal to drive the thermal-piezoresistive resonator and measure a resonant frequency of the thermal-piezoresistive resonator. The particle collecting process and the measuring process are operated in a repetitive cycle for measuring changes of the resonant frequency of the thermal-piezoresistive resonator to measure the particulate matters of the aerosol.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: NATIONAL TSING HUA UNIVERSITYInventors: Sheng-Shian Li, Ting-Yuan Liu
