Disasters affect a large number of people yearly and recurrently at many locations. Emergencies compel the local community to participate in disaster response; they are mostly the first responders during any disaster. Hence, it is necessary to devise solutions to support the local community and enhance their resilience. This work proposes a comprehensive platform for the victims, administrators, and volunteers during a catastrophe. It encourages the participation of the local community in managing local resources, requesting help, and getting acknowledged for the service they lend. The platform helps recognize the local community’s strengths and provides a method to receive information from disaster managers. The platform will also bring more situational awareness to disaster managers and volunteers. It also helps disaster managers assess the disaster’s potential impact and vulnerability levels of the community at an early stage. The platform envisions providing a decision support system for the spontaneous volunteers to co-work with disaster managers in a regulated fashion by eliminating fake volunteers and messages. The research also focuses on the characteristics of technology adoption for the widespread acceptance of the solution.

Wireless sensor networks and green networking have been major research areas in the field of communication technology for the past few decades. In particular, the development of 6G communication systems has brought renewed focus on these areas, as the demands for higher data rates, more diverse applications, and lower energy consumption continue to increase. The use of wireless sensor networks in 6G communication systems has been widely explored in the literature, and has shown great potential for a wide range of applications, including environmental monitoring, industrial process control, and healthcare. However, a key challenge in the deployment of these networks is ensuring their energy efficiency, as the demands on the network will be much higher than in previous generations. To address this challenge, researchers have proposed various green networking techniques, such as energy harvesting and low-power communication protocols, which have been shown to significantly reduce the energy consumption of the sensors. In addition to improving the energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks, researchers have also studied their reliability, scalability, and adaptability. These properties are important in 6G communication systems, as the demands on the network are expected to be much higher than in previous generations. Researchers have proposed various methods to improve the reliability, scalability, and adaptability of wireless sensor networks, including the use of error-correction codes, redundant communication channels, and machine learning algorithms.

Efficiently selecting an appropriate spike stream data length to extract precise information is the key to the spike vision tasks. To address this issue, we propose a dynamic timing representation for spike streams. Based on multi-layers architecture, it applies dilated convolutions on temporal dimension to extract features on multi-temporal scales with few parameters. And we design layer attention to dynamically fuse these features. Moreover, we propose an unsupervised learning method for optical flow estimation in a spike-based manner to break the dependence on labeled data. In addition, to verify the robustness, we also build a spike-based synthetic validation dataset for extreme scenarios in autonomous driving, denoted as SSES dataset. It consists of various corner cases. Experiments show that our method can predict optical flow from spike streams in different high-speed scenes, including real scenes. For instance, our method achieves 15% and 19% error reduction on PHM dataset compared to the best spike-based work, SCFlow, in Δt = 10 and Δt = 20 respectively, using the same settings as in previous works.

Object detection is an extensively researched field in computer vision and deep learning-related use cases. Popular frameworks such as YOLO, RCNN, SSD, FPN, RetinaNet, etc., and other cutting-edge detection systems are extensively used in various applications, such as autonomous vehicle driving scenarios and surveillance systems. However, in practical applications, the performance of the generic object detection systems suffers when subject to images with insufficient or poor lighting due to adverse weather conditions and various external factors. Several frameworks utilizing different deep learning and image processing-based approaches have been presented to enhance object detection considering recent advancements in this field. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of several contemporary techniques under various challenging lighting and weather situations. This study also talks about several public benchmark datasets and applications where varying illumination, or adverse weather conditions play a crucial role in estimating the efficacy of detection. Finally, the study summarizes the future scope and research direction.

Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) can display 3D profiles of microscopic objects and is expected to be used in a wide range of fields such as microbiology, microstructural investigation, and disease diagnosis. Since these fields require detailed information of the object, acquiring an accurate 3D profile is the most important. However, DHM requires several experimental equipments, and it does not define appropriate lasers for interferometers. Therefore, in this paper, we implement an experiment and find the optimum laser for the most accurate 3D profiles of interferometers by comparing 3D profiles using two types of interferometers and three types of lasers with different wavelengths. The results show that the relationship between the laser's coherence length and the optical path length of the interferometer is related to the accuracy of the 3D profiles. They also show that the accuracy of the 3D profile is higher when the coherence length is longer than the optical path length plus twice the height of the object.
