Latest Patents

Ren is associated with 1 patent: “Reservoir Area Water Bloom Rapid Monitoring Method and Device Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarm Coordination.” The invention uses local update quantification to reduce communication between UAVs and a central server while maintaining the accuracy of the monitoring model. It defines a loss-function queue for each UAV and uses the relationship between historical and current loss functions to quantify model updates. The approach is designed to address the difficulty of uploading large volumes of images, high communication demands, and slow model convergence caused by frequent communication.
