US Patent Issued to NEC on Nov. 4 for "Source-free cross domain detection method with strong data augmentation and self-trained mean teacher modeling" (New Jersey Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,462,538, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to NEC Corp. (Tokyo).

"Source-free cross domain detection method with strong data augmentation and self-trained mean teacher modeling" was invented by Kai Li (Princeton, N.J.), Renqiang Min (Princeton, N.J.) and Hans Peter Graf (South Amboy, N.J.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for implementing source-free domain adaptive detection is presented. The method includes, in a pretraining phase, applying strong data augmentation to labeled source images to produce perturbed labeled source images and training an object detection model by using the perturbed labeled source images to generate a sourc...
