Deep Image Translation With an Affinity-Based Change Prior for Unsupervised Multimodal Change Detection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-17)Image translation with convolutional neural networks has recently been used as an approach to multimodal change detection. Existing approaches train the networks by exploiting supervised information of the change areas, which, however, is not always available. A main challenge in the unsupervised problem setting is to avoid that change pixels affect the learning of the translation function. We propose ... -
Behind the scenes of spin-forbidden decay pathways in transition metal complexes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-10)The interpretation of the ultrafast photophysics of transition metal complexes following photo-absorption is quite involved as the heavy metal center leads to a complicated and entangled singlet–triplet manifold. This opens up multiple pathways for deactivation, often with competitive rates. As a result, intersystem crossing (ISC) and phosphorescence are commonly observed in transition metal complexes. ... -
