ABCNet v2 : Adaptive Bezier-Curve Network for Real-Time End-to-End Text Spotting

End-to-end text-spotting, which aims to integrate detection and recognition in a unified framework, has attracted increasing attention due to its simplicity of the two complimentary tasks. It remai…

Theoretical Analysis of the Mode Distortion Induced by Stimulated Raman Scatt…

By employing the mode decomposition method to study the relative mode evolution characteristics during the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) process, a numerical model of the core-pumped Raman effe…

PAN++ : Towards Efficient and Accurate End-to-End Spotting of Arbitrarily-Sha…

Scene text detection and recognition have been well explored in the past few years. Despite the progress, efficient and accurate end-to-end spotting of arbitrarily-shaped text remains challenging. …

Offline-Channel Planning in Smart Omnichannel Retailing

Problem definition: Observing the retail industry inevitably evolving into omnichannel, we study an offline-channel planning problem that helps an omnichannel retailer make store location and locat…

Solving the Cubic Regularization Model by a Nested Restarting Lanczos Method

As a variant of the classical trust-region method for unconstrained optimization, the cubic regularization of the Newton method introduces a cubic regularization term in the surrogate objective to …

Deep Learning Enhanced Long-Range Fast BOTDA for Vibration Measurement

In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme of deep learning enhanced long-range fast Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA). The volumetric data from fast BOTDA is de…

Flat-Top, Sharp-Edge Add-Drop Filters Using Complementary-Misalignment-Modula…

We demonstrate flat-top, sharp-edge, silicon add-drop filters using apodized grating-assisted contradirectional couplers (contra-DCs). Periodic sidewall corrugations are imposed on both sides of tw…

Reliable Hub Location Model for Air Transportation Networks Under Random Disr…

Problem definition: In this paper, we study a reliable hub location model, the objective of which is to minimize the associated costs plus the penalty for unserved demands. The model assigns to eac…
