Blasting-Induced Vibration Response of the Transition Section in a Branching-Out Tunnel and Vibration Control Measures by Feng Cao, Sheng Zhang, Tonghua Ling

“…To examine the effects of excavation and blasting of the transition section in the posterior tunnel on the supporting structures of the anterior tunnel, the influences of the blasting-induced vibration in the posterior tunnel on the anterior tunnel were analyzed under different surrounding rock levels, excavation techniques, distances from explosive source, and net spans. This method was performed by combining numerical simulation with blasting-induced vibration monitoring according to the construction characteristics of the transition section in a branching-out tunnel of a highway. …”

Unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features by Zeyu WANG, Shuhui BU, Wei HUANG, Yuanpan ZHENG, Qinggang WU, Huawen CHANG, Xu ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problem of the distribution differences of visual, spatial, and semantic features between domains in domain adaptation, an unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features was proposed.Firstly, an attentive fusion semantic segmentation network with three-layer structure was designed to learn the above three types of features from the source domain and target domain, respectively.Secondly, a self-supervised learning method jointing distribution confidence and semantic confidence was introduced into the single-level adversarial learning, so as to achieve the distribution alignment of more target domain pixels in the process of minimizing the distribution distance of the learnt features between domains.Finally, three adversarial branches and three adaptive sub-networks were jointly optimized by the multi-level adversarial learning method based on multi-modal features, which could effectively learn the invariant representation between domains for the features extracted from each sub-network.The experimental results show that compared with existing state-of-the-art methods, on the datasets of GTA5 to Cityscapes, SYNTHIA to Cityscapes, and SUN-RGBD to NYUD-v2 the proposed network achieves the best mean intersection over union of 62.2%, 66.9%, and 59.7%, respectively.…”
