Assessing the Effects of Spatial Resolution on Regional Climate Model Simulated Summer Temperature and Precipitation in China: A Case Study by Xin-Min Zeng, Ming Wang, Yujian Zhang, Yang Wang, Yiqun Zheng

“…Because of the dry climate and low soil heat capacity in Northern China, resolution changes easily modify surface energy fluxes, hence the SAT; due to the rainy and humid climate in South China, resolution changes likely strongly influence grid-scale structure of clouds and therefore precipitation.…”

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. …”
