AeroReformer: Aerial Referring Transformer for UAV-based Referring Image Segmentation
Rui Li, Xiaowei Zhao
As a novel and challenging task, referring segmentation combines computer vision and natural language processing to localize and segment objects based on textual descriptions. Whil…
The potential impact of large-scale wind clusters on the local weather patterns
Rui Li, Jincheng Zhang, Xiaowei Zhao
To decarbonise the electricity sector and achieve renewable energy targets, a rapidly growing number of wind farms have been authorised, constructed, and commissioned in the UK and…
Wake effects of offshore wind farm clusters revealed by SAR and WRF
Rui Li, Jincheng Zhang, Xiaowei Zhao
Wake effects, i.e. the reduced momentum and increased turbulence caused by the upstream wind farm, have a significant adverse impact on downstream wind farms. However, due to the l…
Long-range near-surface wake signatures of offshore wind farm clusters revealed by satellite observations
Rui Li, Jincheng Zhang, Xiaowei Zhao
Wind energy has expanded rapidly in recent years, leading to increasingly dense clusters of offshore wind farms. As a result, wind farm wake effects, manifested as reduced wind spe…
