Unsupervised Instance Segmentation with Superpixels
Instance segmentation is essential for numerous computer vision applications, including robotics, human-computer interaction, and autonomous driving. Currently, popular models bring impressive performance in instance segmentation by training with a large number of human annotations, which are costly to collect. For this reason, we present a new framework that efficiently and effectively segments objects without the need for human annotations. Firstly, a MultiCut algorithm is applied to self-sup…

A 28nm 1.80Mb/mm2 Digital/Analog Hybrid SRAM-CIM Macro Using 2D-Weighted Capacitor Array for Complex Number Mac Operations
A 28nm dense 6T-SRAM Digital(D)/Analog(A) Hybrid compute-in-memory (CIM) macro supporting complex num-ber MAC operation is presented. By introducing a 2D-weighted Capacitor Array, a hybrid configuration is adopted where digital CIM is applied only to the upper bits and ana-log CIM is applied to the rest, without the need for input DACs resulting in improved accuracy and lower area overhead. The CIM prototype macro achieves 1.80 Mb/mm2 memory density and 0.435% RMS error. Complex CIM unit output…

AJAHR: Amputated Joint Aware 3D Human Mesh Recovery
Existing human mesh recovery methods assume a standard human body structure, overlooking diverse anatomical conditions such as limb loss. This assumption introduces bias when applied to individuals with amputations - a limitation further exacerbated by the scarcity of suitable datasets. To address this gap, we propose Amputated Joint Aware 3D Human Mesh Recovery (AJAHR), which is an adaptive pose estimation framework that improves mesh reconstruction for individuals with limb loss. Our model in…

What I really do like about the #Meshcore app is the ability to tell whether my messages are making it to the mesh. There are multiple ways to tell.
First is the display of heard repeats. That indicate that x number of repeaters have received and repeated the message.
The second is the explicit delivery confirmation in private message chats.
Thirds is the new way to di…

Wireless Powered MEC Systems via Discrete Pinching Antennas: TDMA versus NOMA
Pinching antennas (PAs), a new type of reconfigurable and flexible antenna structures, have recently attracted significant research interest due to their ability to create line-of-sight links and mitigate large-scale path loss. Owing to their potential benefits, integrating PAs into wireless powered mobile edge computing (MEC) systems is regarded as a viable solution to enhance both energy transfer and task offloading efficiency. Unlike prior studies that assume ideal continuous PA placement al…
