DARA: Degradation-Aware Low-Rank Residual Adaptation with Original-to-Corrupted Distillation for Corruption-Robust Animal Re-Identification
Cynthia Xie, Talia Xu
Animal re-identification (Re-ID) relies on fine-grained identity cues that can be disrupted by blur, noise, compression, and other visual degradations. Existing robustness strategi…
Exploiting Light To Enhance The Endurance and Navigation of Lighter-Than-Air Micro-Drones
Harry Huang, Talia Xu, Marco Zúñiga Zamalloa
Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly expanding into tasks from inventory to environmental sensing, yet their short endurance and unreliable navigation in GPS-denied sp…
Animal Re-Identification on Microcontrollers
Yubo Chen, Di Zhao, Yun Sing Koh +1
Camera-based animal re-identification (Animal Re-ID) can support wildlife monitoring and precision livestock management in large outdoor environments with limited wireless connecti…
Photoacoustics on the go: An Embedded Photoacoustic Sensing Platform
Talia Xu, Caitlin Smith, Charles Lo +3
Several centimeters below the skin lie multiple biomarkers, such as glucose, oxygenation, and blood flow. Monitoring these biomarkers regularly and in a non-invasive manner would e…
Firefly: Supporting Drone Localization With Visible Light Communication
Ricardo Ampudia Hernández, Talia Xu, Yanqiu Huang +1
Drones are not fully trusted yet. Their reliance on radios and cameras for navigation raises safety and privacy concerns. These systems can fail, causing accidents, or be misused f…
