Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar has the characteristic of multiple antenna channels, bringing on a big data volume for signal processing. Therefore, the trade-off between detection ability and computational efficiency is always considered. In this article, an optimisation system is proposed to enhance the real-time performance of frequency division MIMO radar without compromising accuracy. For the scenario of low-altitude small target detection, a signal processing.acceleration method is proposed and a MIMO radar optimisation system based on graphics processing.unit (GPU) architecture is built. The signal model of frequency division MIMO radar is first established, improving the classical signal processing.flow efficiency from the perspective of reducing fast Fourier transform (FFT) times and windowing operation times. To achieve an advanced acceleration, the parallel architecture of ArrayFire-library in GPU is then employed. Distinct minimum parallel units are extracted by analysing the principle of digital beamforming (DBF), pulse compression, moving target detection (MTD), and constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) algorithms. And the corresponding parallel algorithms are designed to constitute a parallel acceleration system of frequency division MIMO. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method significantly improves the efficiency of MIMO system with a maximum acceleration ratio of 65 times, meeting the real-time processing.requirements.

The objective of this study was to classify blueberry cultivars based on image texture parameters using models built using traditional machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The blueberries belonging to highbush cultivars ('Bluecrop', 'Herbert', 'Jersey', and 'Nelson') and lowbush cultivars ('Emil' and 'Putte') were subjected to imaging using a digital camera. The texture parameters from blueberry images in color channels R, G, B, L, a, b, X, Y, Z, U, V, and S were determined. After selection image textures were used to build models for the classification of all highbush and lowbush blueberry cultivars, and highbush blueberry cultivars and lowbush blueberry cultivars, separately. In the case of distinguishing all cultivars, such as 'Bluecrop', 'Herbert', 'Jersey', and 'Nelson', 'Emil' and 'Putte', the classification accuracy reached 92.33% for a model built using a deep learning algorithm. Models built to distinguish only highbush cultivars provided an average accuracy of up to 91.25% (WiSARD). For models developed to classify two lowbush cultivars, an average accuracy reaching 96% (WiSARD) was found. The applied procedure can be used in practice to distinguish blueberry cultivars before their consumption or processing.

In recent years, the growing awareness of public health has brought attention to low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans. However, the CT image generated in this way contains a lot of noise or artifacts, which make increasing researchers to investigate methods to enhance image quality. The advancement of deep learning technology has provided researchers with novel approaches to enhance the quality of LDCT images. In the past, numerous studies based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) have yielded remarkable results in LDCT image reconstruction. Nonetheless, they all tend to continue to design new networks based on the fixed network architecture of UNet shape, which also leads to more and more complex networks. In this paper, we proposed a novel network model with a reverse U-shape architecture for the noise reduction in the LDCT image reconstruction task. In the model, we further designed a novel multi-scale feature extractor and edge enhancement module that yields a positive impact on CT images to exhibit strong structural characteristics. Evaluated on a public dataset, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the compared algorithms based on traditional U-shaped architecture in terms of preserving texture details and reducing noise, as demonstrated by achieving the highest PSNR, SSIM and RMSE value. This study may shed light on the reverse U-shaped network architecture for CT image reconstruction, and could investigate the potential on other medical imageprocessing.

Significant advancements have been achieved in road surface extraction based on high-resolution remote sensingimageprocessing. Most current methods rely on fully supervised learning, which necessitates enormous humaneffort to label the image. Within this field, other research endeavors utilize weakly supervised methods. Theseapproaches aim to reduce the expenses associated with annotation by leveraging sparsely annotated data, such asscribbles. This paper presents a novel technique called a weakly supervised network using scribble-supervised andedge-mask (WSSE-net). This network is a three-branch network architecture, whereby each branch is equippedwith a distinct decoder module dedicated to road extraction tasks. One of the branches is dedicated to generatingedge masks using edge detection algorithms and optimizing road edge details. The other two branches supervise themodel’s training by employing scribble labels and spreading scribble information throughout the image. To addressthe historical flaw that created pseudo-labels that are not updated with network training, we use mixup to blendprediction results dynamically and continually update new pseudo-labels to steer network training. Our solutiondemonstrates efficient operation by simultaneously considering both edge-mask aid and dynamic pseudo-labelsupport. The studies are conducted on three separate road datasets, which consist primarily of high-resolutionremote-sensing satellite photos and drone images. The experimental findings suggest that our methodologyperforms better than advanced scribble-supervised approaches and specific traditional fully supervised methods.

image demosaicing is an important step in the imageprocessing.pipeline for digital cameras. In data centric approaches, such as deep learning, the distribution of the dataset used for training can impose a bias on the networks' outcome. For example, in natural images most patches are smooth, and high-content patches are much rarer. This can lead to a bias in the performance of demosaicing algorithms. Most deep learning approaches address this challenge by utilizing specific losses or designing special network architectures. We propose a novel approach SDAT, Sub-Dataset Alternation Training, that tackles the problem from a training protocol perspective. SDAT is comprised of two essential phases. In the initial phase, we employ a method to create sub-datasets from the entire dataset, each inducing a distinct bias. The subsequent phase involves an alternating training process, which uses the derived sub-datasets in addition to training also on the entire dataset. SDAT can be applied regardless of the chosen architecture as demonstrated by various experiments we conducted for the demosaicing task. The experiments are performed across a range of architecture sizes and types, namely CNNs and transformers. We show improved performance in all cases. We are also able to achieve state-of-the-art results on three highly popular image demosaicing benchmarks.

image data is frequently processed in multimedia, wireless, mobile communication etc. The digitalimages transmitted over the internet are prone to security threats and thus providing security for the images and videos becomes an essential issue for individuals, business and governments. Moreover, applications in the automobile, banking, medical, construction and fashion industry require designs, scanned data, and blue-prints to be protected against attackers. Though many cryptographic algorithms are proposed in literatures, there is no much effort concentrated on the design of low-power hardware-efficient cryptosystem architectures. In this work, we propose a novel crypto architecture using multiple Boolean reversible blocks with logic control inputs derived from standard test images. The pre-processing.and shuffling on the control pixel bits decide the depth of logic operation of the crypto system. The proposed design involves Gray Code image Scrambling block for pre-processing. Reversible Shuffling Unit for bit plane modification and final merger for plane regrouping and is designated as Reversible Logic-image Key (RL-IK) design. The use of reversible logic unit for shuffling combined with Gray code image scrambling in key generation improves the security of the processed images from the encryption unit at the expense of increase in area. To optimize the proposed RL-IK design in terms of area and security metrics, Gray Code bit plane processing.is eliminated in the least n/2-1 bits as the contribution of least significant bits in the pixel intensity is less. The proposed Area and Security Optimized RL-IK architecture (AS-RL-IK) involves same process as that of its standard counterpart in n/2 + 1 Most Significant Bits bits. As the weight based shuffling block is the critical unit of the proposed architecture that contributes for high delay and hardware area, for portable non-critical applications high speed hardware efficient variant of RL-IK is proposed.

Detecting sources in digitalimages and videos is crucial to multimedia forensics research. The inherent physical properties of imaging sensors result in the presence of Photo Response Non-Uniformity Noise (PRNU) within the captured multimedia content. This particular noise, often called the "fingerprint," is a unique and stable feature for identifying the source camera. However, the compression of images by platform codecs on social network media introduces varying degrees of quantization noise, making to address this issue, a noise extractor based on variance stabilizing transform and adaptive block clustering principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed, along with an enhanced processing.model that incorporates cyclic residual recycling. Firstly, the GAT and adaptive block clustering PCA filtering are applied to extract noises from the images. The obtained noises are then subjected to zero-mean and diagonal artifact elimination processing. Next, the real and imaginary parts of the noise spectrum are individually subjected to real-time iterative least squares smoothing based on half-quadratic optimization. Due to the presence of PRNU information in the residual between the pre-smoothed and post-smoothed signals, additional cyclic smoothing is applied to refine the signal further. Finally, the smoothed signals are accumulated to obtain the enhanced PRNU noise. Experimental comparisons conducted on the public dataset Dresden demonstrate that the proposed model significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of source camera identification for low-resolution and strong JPEG compression images.

Mechanical drilling-induced burr in carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is one of the most sig-nificant macro-geometrical failures of CFRP composites;nevertheless, burr prediction in quasi-randomly oriented chopped fibre reinforced composites is not supported yet. To explore this issue, the main aim of the present research work was to develop a method to predict drilling-induced burrs in chopped CFRPs based on digitalimageprocessing. First, an indexable light source captured digitalimages of a chopped CFRP plate in different lighting conditions. Then, the fibre orientation of each visible chopped fibre group was determined in each image through digitalimageprocessing.algorithms. These images were then associated based on the superposition principle. Finally, the burr-dangerous regions were predicted by the local properties of chopped fibres. The prediction accuracy of the algorithm is tested by drilling experiments in chopped CFRP plates using solid carbide drills. The experimental results show that the mechanical drilling-induced burr prediction accuracy is 64-97%. By applying the proposed method, burrs can be estimated without machining experiments in chopped CFRPs.

images with complementary spectral information can be recorded using image sensors that can identify visible and near-infrared spectrum. The fusion of visible and near-infrared (NIR) aims to enhance the quality of images acquired by video monitoring systems for the ease of user observation and data processing. Unfortunately, current fusion algorithms produce artefacts and colour distortion since they cannot make use of spectrum properties and are lacking in information complementarity. Therefore, an information complementarity fusion (ICF) model is designed based on physical signals. In order to separate high-frequency noise from important information in distinct frequency layers, the authors first extracted texture-scale and edge-scale layers using a two-scale filter. Second, the difference map between visible and near-infrared was filtered using the extended-DoG filter to produce the initial visible-NIR complementary weight map. Then, to generate a guide map, the near-infrared image with night adjustment was processed as well. The final complementarity weight map was subsequently derived via an arctanI function mapping using the guide map and the initial weight maps. Finally, fusion images were generated with the complementarity weight maps. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art in both avoiding artificial colours as well as effectively utilising information complementarity.
