Latest Patents

Gan is named on 1 patent: “Reservoir Area Water Bloom Rapid Monitoring Method and Device Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarm Coordination.” The invention uses local-update quantification in a federated-learning system to reduce communication between UAVs and a central server while maintaining the accuracy of the monitoring model. It quantifies model updates using the relationship between historical and current loss functions. The approach is designed to address the difficulty of uploading large volumes of UAV imagery, high communication demands, and slow model convergence caused by frequent communication.
