Lane-aware image enhancement for lane detection in rain (part B - communications) by Tian, Zichen

“…Besides, it is worthy to refine the selection of the initialization function. 2) A loss function measuring the offset of Vanishing Point and ground truth can be constructed; 3) Re-scale the network from low-definition to high resolution for pixel-to-pixel classification. All the diagrams are drawn in vector graph format, so readers can zoom in to check the details.…”

Comparative study on design of braced excavation systems by Toh, Yan Ting

“…From this study, the following findings are drawn: The Hardening Soil and the Hardening Soil with small-strain stiffness models generate conservative settlement profiles compared to the Mohr-Coulomb model; Combination 1 provides a conservative estimation of the wall bending moments; Upper strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 1 while bottom strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 2 Scheme 1; Scheme 2 gives a large bending moment than Scheme 1; The Mohr-Coulomb model, generally, gives a smaller maximum wall bending moment than the Hardening Soil model; findings from sheet pile excavation deviate from those from diaphragm wall excavations; and lastly, consideration of factored E50/cu ratio produces similar strut forces and bending moments compared to unfactored E50/cu values.…”
