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.…”

Colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diode architectures for high performance by Leck, Kheng Swee

“…In addition, in the thesis, we used gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) to replace tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) used as the electrode in QD-LEDs due to the increasingly expensive raw materials of ITO. The lowest sheet resistance and resistivity of the radio-frequency (RF) sputtered GZO films are 12.28 Ω/□ and 9.48×10-4 Ω·cm, respectively, comparable to those of commercial grade ITO. …”
