FractalPINN-Flow: A Fractal-Inspired Network for Unsupervised Optical Flow Estimation with Total Variation Regularization
We present FractalPINN-Flow, an unsupervised deep learning framework for dense optical flow estimation that learns directly from consecutive grayscale frames without requiring ground truth. The architecture centers on the Fractal Deformation Network (FDN) - a recursive encoder-decoder inspired by fractal geometry and self-similarity. Unlike traditional CNNs with sequential downsampling, FDN uses repeated encoder-decoder nesting with skip connections to capture both fine-grained details and long…

World's First Ever Large-Scale Carbon Storage Site Successfully Injects CO2 Below Seabed | Happy Eco News
Norway’s Northern Lights project achieved the world’s first large-scale carbon storage injection beneath the seabed. By capturing and permanently storing CO₂ from industrial facilities, the initiative marks a major milestone for climate mitigation. The project demonstrates how international collaboration and technology can scale carbon capture to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
