Using a YOLO Deep Learning Algorithm to Improve the Accuracy of 3D Object Detection by Autonomous Vehicles by Ramavhale Murendeni, Alfred Mwanza, Ibidun Christiana Obagbuwa

“…Key contributions include introducing a multi-task loss function that optimizes 2D and 3D predictions and integrating sensor fusion techniques that combine RGB camera data with LIDAR point clouds for improved depth estimation. The adapted model, tested on real-world datasets, demonstrates a significant increase in 3D detection accuracy, achieving a mean average precision (mAP) of 85%, intersection over union (IoU) of 78%, and near real-time performance at 93–97% for detecting vehicles and 75–91% for detecting people. …”

On the Formation of Planets in the Milky Way’s Thick Disk by Tim Hallatt, Eve J. Lee

“…One key difference between the two stellar populations is the time at which they emerged: thick-disk stars are the likely product of cosmic noon (redshift z ∼ 2), an era characterized by high star formation rate, massive and dense molecular clouds, and strong supersonic turbulence. Solving for the background radiation field in these early star-forming regions, we demonstrate that protoplanetary disks at cosmic noon experienced radiation fields up to ∼7 orders of magnitude more intense than in solar neighborhood conditions. …”
