Survey of DL-Based LiDAR Super-Resolution For Autonomous Driving (University College London)


University College London researchers published "A Comprehensive Survey on Deep Learning-Based LiDAR Super-Resolution for Autonomous Driving." Abstract "LiDAR sensors are often considered essential for autonomous driving, but high-resolution sensors remain expensive while affordable low-resolution sensors produce sparse point clouds that miss critical details. LiDAR super-resolution addre... » read more

Research Bits: August 26


THz-optical converter Researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Harvard University designed a chip that can convert between electromagnetic pulses in the terahertz and optical ranges on the same device. Applications include communication, sensing, spectroscopy, and computing. The design embeds micron-sized transmission lines into a lithium niobate photonic chip... » read more

Patterning With EUV Lithography Without Photoresists


A technical paper titled “Resistless EUV lithography: photon-induced oxide patterning on silicon” was published by researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute, University College London, ETH Zürich, and EPFL. Abstract: "In this work, we show the feasibility of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) patterning on an HF-treated Si(100) surface in the absence of a photoresist. EUV lithography is the leading ... » read more
