Previous works, often based on the encoder-decoder structure and utilizing multiple upsampling and downsampling layers, are computationally expensive. To improve efficiency, the paper proposes two modules: the efficient spatial resolution recovery module(ESRR) for upsampling and the efficient depth information augmentation module(EDIA) for downsampling.These modules not only reduce model complexity but also enhance performance. Additionally, the partial feature weight learning module(PFWL) is introduced to reduce the computational burden by applying weight learning across partial dimensions, rather than using full-channel convolution.To overcome the limitations of convolutional neural networks(CNN)-based networks, the haze distribution index transformer(HDIT) is integrated into the decoder. We also propose the physicalbased non-adjacent feature fusion module(PNFF), which leverages the atmospheric scattering model to improve generalization of our MDWR-Net. The MDWR-Net achieves superior dehazing performance with a computational cost of just 2.98×10^(9) multiply-accumulate operations(MACs),which is less than one-tenth of previous methods. Experimental results validate its effectiveness in balancing performance and computational efficiency.展开更多

However, with complicated mechanism, interferometric imaging faces the impact of multi-stage degradation. Most exsiting interferometric spectrum reconstruction methods are based on tradition model-based framework with multiple steps, showing poor efficiency and restricted performance. Thus, we propose an interferometric spectrum reconstruction method based on degradation synthesis and deep learning.Firstly, based on imaging mechanism, we proposed an mathematical model of interferometric imaging to analyse the degradation components as noises and trends during imaging. The model consists of three stages, namely instrument degradation, sensing degradation, and signal-independent degradation process. Then, we designed calibration-based method to estimate parameters in the model, of which the results are used for synthesizing realistic dataset for learning-based algorithms.In addition, we proposed a dual-stage interferogram spectrum reconstruction framework, which supports pre-training and integration of denoising DNNs. Experiments exhibits the reliability of our degradation model and synthesized data, and the effectiveness of the proposed reconstruction method.展开更多

Hyperspectral image super-resolution(HSI SR) has been a very attractive research topic in computer vision, attracting the attention of many researchers. However, most HSI SR methods focus on the tradeoff between spatial resolution and spectral information, and cannot guarantee the efficient extraction of image information. In this paper, a multidimensional features network(MFNet) for HSI SR is proposed, which simultaneously learns and fuses the spatial,spectral, and frequency multidimensional features of HSI. Spatial features contain rich local details,spectral features contain the information and correlation between spectral bands, and frequency feature can reflect the global information of the image and can be used to obtain the global context of HSI. The fusion of the three features can better guide image super-resolution, to obtain higher-quality high-resolution hyperspectral images. In MFNet, we use the frequency feature extraction module(FFEM) to extract the frequency feature. On this basis, a multidimensional features extraction module(MFEM) is designed to learn and fuse multidimensional features. In addition, experimental results on two public datasets demonstrate that MFNet achieves state-of-the-art performance.展开更多

Meanwhile, how to ensure and improve its security has become the focus of international research. We combine DNA codec with quantum Arnold transform(QAr T) to propose a new double encryption algorithm for quantum color images to improve the security and robustness of image encryption. First, we utilize the biological characteristics of DNA codecs to perform encoding and decoding operations on pixel color information in quantum color images, and achieve pixel-level diffusion. Second, we use QAr T to scramble the position information of quantum images and use the operated image as the key matrix for quantum XOR operations. All quantum operations in this paper are reversible, so the decryption operation of the ciphertext image can be realized by the reverse operation of the encryption process. We conduct simulation experiments on encryption and decryption using three color images of “Monkey”, “Flower”, and “House”. The experimental results show that the peak value and correlation of the encrypted images on the histogram have good similarity, and the average normalized pixel change rate(NPCR) of RGB three-channel is 99.61%, the average uniform average change intensity(UACI) is 33.41%,and the average information entropy is about 7.9992. In addition, the robustness of the proposed algorithm is verified by the simulation of noise interference in the actual scenario.展开更多

However, acquiring complete and high-quality panoramic textures is challenging. This paper introduces a method using generative adversarial networks(GANs) and the contrastive language-image pretraining(CLIP) model to restore and control texture in panoramic images. The GAN model captures complex structures and maintains consistency, while CLIP enables fine-grained texture control via semantic text-image associations. GAN inversion optimizes latent codes for precise texture details. The resulting low dynamic range(LDR) images are converted to high dynamic range(HDR) using the Blender engine for seamless texture blending. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of this method in panoramic texture restoration and generation.展开更多

文摘Panoramic images, offering a 360-degree view, are essential in virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR), enhancing realism with high-quality textures. However, acquiring complete and high-quality panoramic textures is challenging. This paper introduces a method using generative adversarial networks(GANs) and the contrastive language-image pretraining(CLIP) model to restore and control texture in panoramic images. The GAN model captures complex structures and maintains consistency, while CLIP enables fine-grained texture control via semantic text-image associations. GAN inversion optimizes latent codes for precise texture details. The resulting low dynamic range(LDR) images are converted to high dynamic range(HDR) using the Blender engine for seamless texture blending. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and flexibility of this method in panoramic texture restoration and generation.
文摘A measurement system for the scattering characteristics of warhead fragments based on high-speed imaging systems offers advantages such as simple deployment,flexible maneuverability,and high spatiotemporal resolution,enabling the acquisition of full-process data of the fragment scattering process.However,mismatches between camera frame rates and target velocities can lead to long motion blur tails of high-speed fragment targets,resulting in low signal-to-noise ratios and rendering conventional detection algorithms ineffective in dynamic strong interference testing environments.In this study,we propose a detection framework centered on dynamic strong interference disturbance signal separation and suppression.We introduce a mixture Gaussian model constrained under a joint spatialtemporal-transform domain Dirichlet process,combined with total variation regularization to achieve disturbance signal suppression.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed disturbance suppression method can be integrated with certain conventional motion target detection tasks,enabling adaptation to real-world data to a certain extent.Moreover,we provide a specific implementation of this process,which achieves a detection rate close to 100%with an approximate 0%false alarm rate in multiple sets of real target field test data.This research effectively advances the development of the field of damage parameter testing.

文摘To solve the problem that the magnetic resonance(MR)image has weak boundaries,large amount of information,and low signal-to-noise ratio,we propose an image segmentation method based on the multi-resolution Markov random field(MRMRF)model.The algorithm uses undecimated dual-tree complex wavelet transformation to transform the image into multiple scales.The transformed low-frequency scale histogram is used to improve the initial clustering center of the K-means algorithm,and then other cluster centers are selected according to the maximum distance rule to obtain the coarse-scale segmentation.The results are then segmented by the improved MRMRF model.In order to solve the problem of fuzzy edge segmentation caused by the gray level inhomogeneity of MR image segmentation under the MRMRF model,it is proposed to introduce variable weight parameters in the segmentation process of each scale.Furthermore,the final segmentation results are optimized.We name this algorithm the variable-weight multi-resolution Markov random field(VWMRMRF).The simulation and clinical MR image segmentation verification show that the VWMRMRF algorithm has high segmentation accuracy and robustness,and can accurately and stably achieve low signal-to-noise ratio,weak boundary MR image segmentation.

文摘As a branch of quantum image processing,quantum image scaling has been widely studied.However,most of the existing quantum image scaling algorithms are based on nearest-neighbor interpolation and bilinear interpolation,the quantum version of bicubic interpolation has not yet been studied.In this work,we present the first quantum image scaling scheme for bicubic interpolation based on the novel enhanced quantum representation(NEQR).Our scheme can realize synchronous enlargement and reduction of the image with the size of 2^(n)×2^(n) by integral multiple.Firstly,the image is represented by NEQR and the original image coordinates are obtained through multiple CNOT modules.Then,16 neighborhood pixels are obtained by quantum operation circuits,and the corresponding weights of these pixels are calculated by quantum arithmetic modules.Finally,a quantum matrix operation,instead of a classical convolution operation,is used to realize the sum of convolution of these pixels.Through simulation experiments and complexity analysis,we demonstrate that our scheme achieves exponential speedup over the classical bicubic interpolation algorithm,and has better effect than the quantum version of bilinear interpolation.

文摘Hyperspectral images typically have high spectral resolution but low spatial resolution,which impacts the reliability and accuracy of subsequent applications,for example,remote sensingclassification and mineral identification.But in traditional methods via deep convolution neural net-works,indiscriminately extracting and fusing spectral and spatial features makes it challenging toutilize the differentiated information across adjacent spectral channels.Thus,we proposed a multi-branch interleaved iterative upsampling hyperspectral image super-resolution reconstruction net-work(MIIUSR)to address the above problems.We reinforce spatial feature extraction by integrat-ing detailed features from different receptive fields across adjacent channels.Furthermore,we pro-pose an interleaved iterative upsampling process during the reconstruction stage,which progres-sively fuses incremental information among adjacent frequency bands.Additionally,we add twoparallel three dimensional(3D)feature extraction branches to the backbone network to extractspectral and spatial features of varying granularity.We further enhance the backbone network’sconstruction results by leveraging the difference between two dimensional(2D)channel-groupingspatial features and 3D multi-granularity features.The results obtained by applying the proposednetwork model to the CAVE test set show that,at a scaling factor of×4,the peak signal to noiseratio,spectral angle mapping,and structural similarity are 37.310 dB,3.525 and 0.9438,respec-tively.Besides,extensive experiments conducted on the Harvard and Foster datasets demonstratethe superior potential of the proposed model in hyperspectral super-resolution reconstruction.

文摘Convolutional neural network(CNN)has excellent ability to model locally contextual information.However,CNNs face challenges for descripting long-range semantic features,which will lead to relatively low classification accuracy of hyperspectral images.To address this problem,this article proposes an algorithm based on multiscale fusion and transformer network for hyperspectral image classification.Firstly,the low-level spatial-spectral features are extracted by multi-scale residual structure.Secondly,an attention module is introduced to focus on the more important spatialspectral information.Finally,high-level semantic features are represented and learned by a token learner and an improved transformer encoder.The proposed algorithm is compared with six classical hyperspectral classification algorithms on real hyperspectral images.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm effectively improves the land cover classification accuracy of hyperspectral images.

文摘Digital in-line holographic microscopy(DIHM)is a widely used interference technique for real-time reconstruction of living cells’morphological information with large space-bandwidth product and compact setup.However,the need for a larger pixel size of detector to improve imaging photosensitivity,field-of-view,and signal-to-noise ratio often leads to the loss of sub-pixel information and limited pixel resolution.Additionally,the twin-image appearing in the reconstruction severely degrades the quality of the reconstructed image.The deep learning(DL)approach has emerged as a powerful tool for phase retrieval in DIHM,effectively addressing these challenges.However,most DL-based strategies are datadriven or end-to-end net approaches,suffering from excessive data dependency and limited generalization ability.Herein,a novel multi-prior physics-enhanced neural network with pixel super-resolution(MPPN-PSR)for phase retrieval of DIHM is proposed.It encapsulates the physical model prior,sparsity prior and deep image prior in an untrained deep neural network.The effectiveness and feasibility of MPPN-PSR are demonstrated by comparing it with other traditional and learning-based phase retrieval methods.With the capabilities of pixel super-resolution,twin-image elimination and high-throughput jointly from a single-shot intensity measurement,the proposed DIHM approach is expected to be widely adopted in biomedical workflow and industrial measurement.

文摘This study investigates the effects of displacement damage on the dark signal of a pinned photodiode CMOS image sensor(CIS)following irradiation with back-streaming white neutrons from white neutron sources at the China spallation neutron source(CSNS)and Xi'an pulsed reactor(XAPR).The mean dark signal,dark signal non-uniformity(DSNU),dark signal distribution,and hot pixels of the CIS were compared between the CSNS back-n and XAPR neutron irradiations.The nonionizing energy loss and energy distribution of primary knock-on atoms in silicon,induced by neutrons,were calculated using the open-source package Geant4.An analysis combining experimental and simulation results showed a noticeable proportionality between the increase in the mean dark signal and the displacement damage dose(DDD).Additionally,neutron energies influence DSNU,dark signal distribution,and hot pixels.High neutron energies at the same DDD level may lead to pronounced dark signal non-uniformity and elevated hot pixel values.

文摘Time-encoded imaging is useful for identifying potential special nuclear materials and other radioactive sources at a distance.In this study,a large field-of-view time-encoded imager was developed for gamma-ray and neutron source hotspot imaging based on a depth-of-interaction(DOI)detector.The imager primarily consists of a DOI detector system and a rotary dual-layer cylindrical coded mask.An EJ276 plastic scintillator coupled with two SiPMs was designed as the DOI detector to increase the field of view and improve the imager performance.The difference in signal time at both ends and the log of the signal amplitude ratio were used to calculate the interaction position resolution.The position resolution of the DOI detector was calibrated using a collimated Cs-137 source,and the full width at half maximum of the reconstruction position of the Gaussian fitting curve was approximately 4.4 cm.The DOI detector can be arbitrarily divided into several units to independently reconstruct the source distribution images.The unit length was optimized via Am-Be source-location experiments.A multidetector filtering method is proposed for image denoising.This method can effectively reduce image noise caused by poor DOI detector position resolution.The vertical field of view of the imager was(-55°,55°)when the detector was placed in the center of the coded mask.A DT neutron source at 20 m standoff could be located within 2400 s with an angular resolution of 3.5°.
