Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Yongwen Su, Subarna Tripathi, Zhuowen Tu, | Summary: In this paper, we present TExt Spotting TRansformers (TESTR), a generic end-to-end text spotting framework using Transformers for text detection and recognition in the wild. TESTR builds upon a single encoder and dual decoders for the joint […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Markus Schütz, Bernhard Kerbl, Michael Wimmer, , | Summary: We propose a software rasterization pipeline for point clouds that is capable of brute-force rendering up to two billion points in real time (60fps). Improvements over the state of the art are achieved by batching points in a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Luis Costa, Zhongwen Zhan, Alireza Marandi, , | Summary: Fiber optic distributed sensors typically demand bidirectional propagation in optical fibers to localize each point of measurement. This imposes barriers to their deployment in long-haul, amplified telecommunication links and prevents massive range enhancement through in-line amplification, due to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Luis Costa, Zhongwen Zhan, Alireza Marandi, , | Summary: Simultaneously sensing and resolving the position of measurands along an optical fiber enables numerous opportunities, especially for application in environments where massive sensor deployment is not feasible. Despite significant progress in techniques based on round-trip time-of-flight measurements, the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Jinwoong Hwang, Kyoo Kim, Canxun Zhang, Tiancong Zhu, Charlotte Herbig | Summary: Monolayers of two-dimensional van der Waals materials exhibit novel electronic phases distinct from their bulk due to the symmetry breaking and reduced screening in the absence of the interlayer coupling. In this work, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Joel Guo, Charles A. McLemore, Chao Xiang, Dahyeon Lee, Lue Wu | Summary: Lasers with hertz-level linewidths on timescales up to seconds are critical for precision metrology, timekeeping, and manipulation of quantum systems. Such frequency stability typically relies on bulk-optic lasers and reference cavities, where increased […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiaotian Li, Xiang Zhang, Taoyue Wang, Lijun Yin, | Summary: Recent studies on the automatic detection of facial action unit (AU) have extensively relied on large-sized annotations. However, manually AU labeling is difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Most existing semi-supervised works ignore the informative cues from the temporal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Semih Taniker, Vincenzo Costanza, Paolo Celli, Chiara Daraio, | Summary: We propose the realization of capacitive temperature sensors based on the concept of displacement amplification. Our design features two high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) metallic layers separated by a low-CTE dielectric layer; conductive and dielectric layers […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiaotian Li, Xiang Zhang, Huiyuan Yang, Wenna Duan, Weiying Dai | Summary: Emotion is an experience associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity along with different physiological, behavioral and cognitive changes. One behavioral change is facial expression, which has been studied extensively over the past few […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Michał Papaj, Joel E. Moore, , , | Summary: In most superconductors, optical excitations require impurity scattering or the presence of multiple bands. This is because in clean single-band superconductors, the combination of particle-hole and inversion symmetries prevents momentum-conserving transitions. In this work we show how […]
