MS Thesis Defense: Exploring Effectiveness of Naive Spatio-Temporal Exploits for Depth Completion Xinan Huang Location: Zoom Link Abstract: With an increasing need for usable depth for autonomous navigation systems such as self-driving cars, depth completion is becoming an increasingly studied subject. RGB data provide much-needed aid in providing good recreation of dense depth maps from […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Remote Monitoring of Multiple Ships over Instantaneous Continental-shelf Scale Region with a Large-aperture Coherent Hydrophone Array Chenyang Zhu Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Multiple mechanized ocean vessels, including both surface ships and submerged vehicles, can be simultaneously monitored over instantaneous continental-shelf scale regions >10,000 km 2 via passive ocean acoustic waveguide remote sensing. […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Platform-specific Model Compression for Deep Neural Networks with Joint Methods Sheng Lin Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Deep learning has delivered its powerfulness in many application domains, especially in computer vision, natural language processing and speech recognition. As the backbone of deep learning, deep neural networks (DNNs) consist of multiple layers of various […]
