Multi-path region mining for weakly supervised 3D semantic segmentation on point clouds by Wei, Jiacheng, Lin, Guosheng, Yap, Kim-Hui, Hung, Tzu-Yi, Xie, Lihua

“…Then, we use the point-level pseudo label to train a point cloud segmentation network in a fully supervised manner. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first method that uses cloud-level weak labels on raw 3D space to train a point cloud semantic segmentation network. …”

Atmospheric characterization of cold exoplanets using a 1.5-m coronagraphic space telescope by Maire, Anne-Lise, Galicher, Raphael, Boccaletti, Anthony, Baudoz, Pierre, Schneider, Jean, Stam, Daphne, Cahoy, Kerri, Traub, Wes

“…We find that the characterization of the main planetary properties (identification of molecules, effect of metallicity, presence of clouds and type of surfaces) would require a median signal-to-noise ratio of at least 30. In the case of a solar-type star <10 pc, SPICES will be able to study Jupiters and Neptunes up to -5 and -2 AU respectively, because of the drastic flux decrease with separation. …”

SPP/LSP coupled hybrid mode directed multi-functional surface-enhanced Raman system by Du, Luping

“…Meanwhile, due to the extremely narrow linewidth of Raman peaks, the SPCE curve of SERS can also be employed for measuring the propagation length of SPPs and quantitatively characterizing the point spread function of an SPCE microscopy. Last but not least, as a promising application, the two-dimensional mapping of the strongly-dominant longitudinal field component of SPPs was realized based on the SERS imaging. …”
