MtAD-Net: Multi-Threshold Adaptive Decision Net for Unsupervised Synthetic Aperture Radar Ship Instance Segmentation by Junfan Xue, Junjun Yin, Jian Yang

“…A Local U-shape Feature Extractor (LUFE) is designed to project each pixel of SAR images into a high-dimensional feature space, and a Global Vision Transformer Encoder (GVTE) is designed to obtain global features, and then, we use the global features to obtain a probability vector, which is the probability of each CFAR threshold. We further propose a PLC-Loss to adaptively reduce the feature distance of pixels of the same category and increase the feature distance of pixels of different categories. …”

An indoor Wi-Fi access points localization algorithm based on improved path loss model parameter calculation method and recursive partition by Wenyan Liu, Xiangyang Luo, Qing Mu, Yimin Liu, Fenlin Liu

“…The algorithm recursively partitions the region where the target Wi-Fi access points are located according to the idea of quadtree partition, and partitions it into same sub-grids, which is sequentially performed until the sub-grids are smaller than the set threshold. The detection device is used at the detection location of the grids to measure the received signal strength, which is from the detection points to the target access point, the grid center point is used as the location of the candidate target access point, the parameters in the path loss model are calculated by using the signal strength differences between the detection points, and then the distances between the detection points and the target access point are calculated by using the signal strength values from the detection points to the target access point. …”
