An Efficient Deep Template Matching and In-Plane Pose Estimation Method via Template-Aware Dynamic Convolution
In industrial inspection and component alignment tasks, template matching requires efficient estimation of a target's position and geometric state (rotation and scaling) under complex backgrounds to support precise downstream operations. Traditional methods rely on exhaustive enumeration of angles and scales, leading to low efficiency under compound transformations. Meanwhile, most deep learning-based approaches only estimate similarity scores without explicitly modeling geometric pose, making …

Heute standen die Tempel und Schreine im Osten von #Kyoto auf dem Plan, die wir entlang des Waldrandes abgingen. Start war beim Kiyomizu-dera, der im Wald am Hang eingebettet schöne Blicke auf den Tempel selbst und die Stadt bietet.
Weiter ging es durch das noch historisch erhaltene Viertel Higashiyama, unter anderem zum Kodai-ji mit seinem schönen Garten und dem Chion-in.

Tunable Coatings on Various Substrates for Self-Adaptive Energy Harvesting with Daytime Solar Heating and Nighttime Radiative Cooling
In this work, tunable vanadium dioxide (VO2) metafilms on different substrate materials fabricated via low-oxygen furnace oxidation are demonstrated for self-adaptive daytime solar heating and nighttime radiative cooling. Because of its thermally-driven insulator-to-metal phase transition behavior, the VO2 metafilms work as spectrally-selective solar absorber with a high solar absorptance of 0.86 and a low infrared emissivity of ~0.2 at daytime, while they behave as selective cooler at nighttim…

Time to adjust clocks again on our game posters and post templates. New Zealand and Australia you will be reflected tonight. US and Europe, in a few weeks when it happens.

Highly tunable band structure in ferroelectric R-stacked bilayer WSe$_2$
Transition metal dichalcogenide homobilayers unite two frontiers of quantum materials research: sliding ferroelectricity, arising from rhombohedral (R) stacking, and moiré quantum matter, emerging from small-angle twisting. The spontaneous polarization of ferroelectric R-stacked homobilayers produces a highly tunable band structure, which, together with strain-induced piezoelectricity, governs the topology and correlated electronic phases of twisted bilayers. Here we present a systematic low-t…
