We propose an iterative graph-based maximum clique scheduling approach with constant graph density. Users are grouped together based on the channel coefficient of correlation (CoC) as dissimilarity metric and served by the satellite via Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) by means of Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) digital beamforming on a cluster basis. Clusters are then served in different time slots via Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). The results, presented in terms of per-cluster sum-rate capacity and per-user throughput, show that the presented approach can significantly improve the system performance.","PeriodicalId":158726,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing Workshops (ICASSPW)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127890749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, context information with attention mechanism is adopted to make object detection focus on the significant area. We are one of the top five teams in the Drone-vs-Bird Detection Grand Challenge. The detection ability of our method for small objects is much higher than classical one-stage and two-stage detectors.

Traditionally used for this task, deep learning frameworks face compatibility issues due to the variances in CT image slice numbers and resolutions caused by the use of different machines. Typically, individual slices are predicted and combined to obtain the final result, but this approach lacks slice-wise feature learning and ultimately leads to decreased performance. To address this limitation, we propose a novel slice selection method for each CT dataset, effectively filtering out uncertain slices and enhancing the model’s performance. Moreover, we introduce a spatial-slice feature learning technique that uses a conventional and efficient backbone model for slice feature training. We then extract one-dimensional data from the trained COVID and non-COVID classification models by employing a dedicated classification model. Leveraging these experimental steps, we integrate one-dimensional features with multiple slices for channel merging and employ a 2D convolutional neural network for classification. In addition to the aforementioned methods, we explore various high-performance classification models, ultimately achieving promising results.","PeriodicalId":158726,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing Workshops (ICASSPW)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121652511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compare the achievable retrieval performance using the different types of sensors, while keeping their nominal locations the same. The non-parametric modeling of the field allows us to present close-form expressions for the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) on the estimation errors of the field’s parameters, which indicate on the best possible performance, independent on the mapping algorithm used. The comparison of the CRLB using different types of sensors indicates on the best sampling strategy. The work was motivated by the problem of rain retrieval using either rain gauges (point-projection sensors) or Commercial Microwave Links - CMLs (line projection sensors). Surface projection sensors can represent CMLs sampling a moving rain field.
