  • Patent number: 11748919
    Abstract: A method of image reconstruction for a cross-modal communication system is disclosed. The method reconstructs a damaged, lost, or delayed image signal during transmission by using complete haptic signals received by a receiving end in the cross-modal communication system, and further constructs a cross-modal interaction network with reference to an attention mechanism, thus solving the limitation of the conventional generation model that it can only be trained on paired samples. An image reconstruction device for a cross-modal communication system is also disclosed. By fully utilizing semantic correlation between different-modality data and realizing cross-modal generation from haptic signals to image signals for unpaired data, the present invention overcomes the difficulty in acquiring haptic-image signal pairs in the practical cross-modal communication system, and significantly improves the quality and class accuracy of generated image signals.

  • Publication number: 20230273092
    Abstract: A method for suppressing coherent and polarization-induced fading by simultaneous monitoring of loss and vibration is provided. By using merely common single-mode sensing fibers, the polarization diversity-based measurement method solves the conflict between ?-OTDR and COTDR in terms of polarization state. In addition, the method not only achieves a better coherent fading noise suppression effect but also enhances the capability of recognizing small loss events in the monitoring of loss parameters. Meanwhile, the method can suppress the influence of coherent fading on the phase demodulation of ?-OTDR and reconstruct a vibration signal with high fidelity in the monitoring of perturbation parameters, which can effectively reduce the error rate of external perturbation warning.

  • Publication number: 20230239903
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a multi-task joint computing unloading and resource allocation method based on D2D (Device-to-Device) communication. For solving the problems that computing resources of a local terminal cannot complete all computing tasks on time when there are multiple computing tasks with delay requirements on a local terminal, the method introduces a computing unloading mechanism to reduce the delay and the overhead of the local terminal itself. The method is based on a D2D communication technology. In the scenario where mobile terminals are densely distributed, the local terminal can unload the computing tasks at the same time to several surrounding idle terminals for processing. According to the method, a total overhead objective function is established in consideration of the task delay, energy consumption, and unloading fee.

  • Patent number: 11709917
    Abstract: A computer-implemented clustering method is disclosed for image segmentation, social network analysis, computational biology, market research, search engine and other applications. At the heart of the method is a point-set kernel that measures the similarity between a data point and a set of data points. The method has a procedure that employs the point-set kernel to expand from a seed point to a cluster; and finally identifies all clusters in the given dataset. Applying the method for image segmentation, it identifies several segments in the image, where points in each segment have high similarity: but points in one segment have low similarity with respect to other segments. The method is both effective and efficient that enables it to deal with large scale datasets. In contrast, existing clustering methods are either efficient or effective; and even efficient ones have difficulty dealing with large scale datasets without massive parallelization.
