Despite recent advances in semantic segmentation, an inevitable challenge is the performance degradation caused by the domain shift in real applications. Current dominant approach to solve this problem is unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). However, the absence of labeled target data in UDA is overly restrictive and limits performance. To overcome this limitation, a more practical scenario called semi-supervised domain adaptation (SSDA) has been proposed. Existing SSDA methods are derived from the UDA paradigm and primarily focus on leveraging the unlabeled target data and source data. In this paper, we highlight the significance of exploiting the intra-domain information between the labeled target data and unlabeled target data. Instead of solely using the scarce labeled target data for supervision, we propose a novel SSDA framework that incorporates both Inter and Intra Domain Mixing (IIDM), where inter-domain mixing mitigates the source-target domain gap and intra-domain mixing enriches the available target domain information, and the network can capture more domain-invariant features. We also explore different domain mixing strategies to better exploit the target domain information. Comprehensive experiments conducted on the GTA5 to Cityscapes and SYNTHIA to Cityscapes benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of IIDM, surpassing previous methods by a large margin.

While our world is filled with its own natural sounds that we can't resist enjoying, it is also chock-full of other sounds that can be irritating, this is noise. Noise not only influences the working efficiency but also the human's health. The problem of reducing noise is one of great importance and great difficulty. The problem has been addressed in many ways over the years. The current methods for noise reducing mostly rely on the materials and transmission medium, which are only effective to some extent for the high frequency noise. However, the effective reduction noise method especially for low frequency noise is very limited. Here we come up with a noise reduction system consist of a sensor to detect the noise in the environment. Then the noise will be sent to an electronic control system to process the noise, which will generate a reverse phase frequency signal to counteract the disturbance. Finally, the processed smaller noise will be broadcasted by the speaker. Through this smart noise reduction system, even the noise with low-frequency can be eliminated. The system is also integrated with sleep tracking and music player applications. It can also remember and store settings for the same environment, sense temperature, and smart control of home furniture, fire alarm, etc. This smart system can transfer data easily by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and controlled by its APP. In this project, we will present a model of the above technology which can be used in various environments to prevent noise pollution and provide a solution to the people who have difficulties finding a peaceful and quiet environment for sleep, work or study.
