HECATE: A long lived particle detector concept for the FCC-ee or CEPC [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C volume 81, Article number: 546
(2021), 2020 The next generation of circular high energy collider is expected to be a lepton collider, FCC-ee at CERN or CEPC in China. However, the civil engineering concepts foresee to equip these colliders with bigger detector caverns than one would need for a lepton collider, so that they can be used for a hadron collider that may be installed in the same ...

State of the Art of Augmented Reality (AR) Capabilities for Civil Infrastructure Applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology superimposing interactional virtual objects onto a real environment. Since the beginning of the millennium, AR technologies have shown rapid growth, with significant research publications in engineering and science. However, the civil infrastructure community has minimally implemented AR technologies to date.

Model-Assisted Labeling via Explainability for Visual Inspection of Civil Infrastructures [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Labeling images for visual segmentation is a time-consuming task which can be costly, particularly in application domains where labels have to be provided by specialized expert annotators, such as civil engineering. In this paper, we propose to use attribution methods to harness the valuable interactions between expert annotators and the data to be ...
