The large amount of unlabeled remote sensing acquired from different sources and at times (defined as multiple views in this article) presents both an opportunity a challenge for change detection. Recently, many generative model-based methods have been proposed image detection on such data. However, the high diversities learned features weaken discrimination relevant indicators unsupervised tas...

Large-scale caption-labeled remote sensing image samples are expensive to acquire, and the training available in practical application scenarios generally limited. Therefore, caption generation tasks will inevitably fall into dilemma of few-shot, resulting poor qualities generated text descriptions. In this study, we propose a self-learning method named SFRC for few-shot captioning. Without rel...

This research project developed self-sensing carbon-nanotube (CNT)/cement composites. The piezoresitive property of carbon nanotubes enables the composite to detect the stress/stain inside the pavement. Meanwhile, CNTs can also work as the reinforcement elements to improve the strength and toughness of the concrete pavement. Experimental results show that the electrical resistance of the compos...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) offer a high power-to-weight ratio, large recovery strain, and low driving voltages, and have thus attracted considerable research attention. The difficulty of controlling SMA actuators arises from their highly nonlinear hysteresis and temperature dependence. This paper describes a combination of self-sensing and model-based control, where the model includes both the ...

We designed and synthesized phenylboronic acid as a molecular recognition model system for saccharide detection. The phenylboronic acid derivatives that have boronic acid moiety are well known to interact with saccharides in aqueous solution; thus, they can be applied to a functional interface of saccharide sensing through the formation of self-assembled monolayer (SAM). In this study, self-ass...

We evaluate two novel reciprocal self-sensing methods for tapping-mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM) utilizing charge measurement and charge actuation, respectively. A microcantilever, which can be batch fabricated through a standard microelectromechanical system (MEMS) process, is coated with a single piezoelectric layer and simultaneously used for actuation and deflection sensing. The setu...

Self-powered sensing refers to an energy scavenging approach where the power for sensing, computation and storage is harvested directly from the signal being sensed. Presented is a 16-transistor CMOS circuit that can be used for the self-powered sensing of strain-rates using signals produced by piezoelectric energy scavengers. By exploiting operational primitives inherent in impact-ionised hot-...
