This work introduces clustering to electrical tomography (ET) and first compares the effectiveness of different unsupervised clustering categories in tomographic object detection. First, the one-step linear back projection (LBP) algorithm is applied to reconstruct a rough image. Then, clustering is introduced to detect and refine the objects in the image, and a higher-qualityimage is obtained based on the clustering results. Six unsupervised clustering algorithms belonging to different categories, including K-means, Mini Batch K-means, Agglomerative, density peak clustering (DPC), statistical information grid (STING), gaussian mixture model (GMM), are compared from the aspects of clustering evaluation index, reconstruction quality and reconstruction efficiency. Simulation was carried out based on a capacitively coupled electrical resistance tomography (CCERT) system to collect the projection data under the cases of one to three objects to be detected in the sensing region. The research results show that the quality of object detection and reconstruction can be effectively improved by post-processing the image with clustering. It is found that for the single-object distribution, the grid-based clustering algorithm STING provides images with the highest quality. While for the multi-objects distributions (two or three objects), the Agglomerative algorithm belonging to the hierarchy clustering category shows advantage in achieving good images. Concerning the real-time performance, Agglomerative clustering algorithm is also preferred with less computational time than most of the other clustering algorithms. Therefore, among the combinations investigated in this work, LBP + Agglomerative clustering has the overall best performance in topographic object detection, in regarding of the reconstruction quality and efficiency.

Full-reference imagequality assessment (FR-IQA) models generally operate by measuring the visual differences between a degraded image and its reference. However, existing FR-IQA models including both the classical ones (e.g., PSNR and SSIM) and deep-learning based measures (e.g., LPIPS and DISTS) still exhibit limitations in capturing the full perception characteristics of the human visual system (HVS). In this paper, instead of designing a new FR-IQA measure, we aim to explore a generalized human visual attention estimation strategy to mimic the process of human quality rating and enhance existing IQA models. In particular, we model human attention generation by measuring the statistical dependency between the degraded image and the reference image. The dependency is captured in a training-free manner by our proposed sliced maximal information coefficient and exhibits surprising generalization in different IQA measures. Experimental results verify the performance of existing IQA models can be consistently improved when our attention module is incorporated. The source code is available at https://***/KANGX99/SMIC.

Finger vein recognition, an emerging biometric technique, has been widely applied across various domains. imagequality significantly impacts vein recognition systemperformance, prompting considerable attention to finger vein imagequality assessment. However, most existing methods for assessing finger vein imagequality are limited to evaluating imagequality levels and lack robustness and practicality. Furthermore, existing finger vein image datasets used for model training not only lack quality labels but also exhibit significant heterogeneity. Moreover, privacy concerns often constrain their creation and usage, further complicating imagequality assessment. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a federated learning for unsupervised finger vein imagequality assessment (Fed-UIQA). This method computes image spatial distances and relative classifiability to obtain imagequality scores, enabling unsupervised quality assessment. Local incremental models are designed on the client-side to address heterogeneous vein datasets to enhance the global model aggregated on the server, thereby improving its adaptability to local data. Finally, extensive experiments conducted on five datasets validate the superiority of the proposed approach.

Recommender systems play a crucial role in providing personalized services but face significant challenges from data sparsity and long-tail bias. Researchers have sought to address these issues using self-supervised contrastive learning. Current contrastive learning primarily relies on self-supervised signals to enhance embedding quality. Despite performance improvement, task-independent contrastive learning contributes limited to the recommendation task. In an effort to adapt contrastive learning to the task, we propose a preference contrastive learning (PCL) model by contrasting preferences of user-items pairs to model users' interests, instead of the self-supervised user-user/item-item discrimination. The supervised contrastive manner works in a single view of the interaction graph and does not require additional data augmentation and multi-view contrasting anymore. performance on public datasets shows that the proposed PCL outperforms the state-of-the-art models, demonstrating that preference contrast betters self-supervised contrast for personalized recommendation.

Emerging Learned image Compression (LC) achieves significant improvements in coding efficiency by end-to-end training of neural networks for compression. An important benefit of this approach over traditional codecs is that any optimization criteria can be directly applied to the encoder-decoder networks during training. Perceptual optimization of LC to comply with the Human Visual system (HVS) is among such criteria, which has not been fully explored yet. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a novel framework to integrate Just Noticeable Distortion (JND) principles into LC. Leveraging existing JND datasets, three perceptual optimization methods are proposed to integrate JND into the LC training process: (1) Pixel-Wise JND Loss (PWL) prioritizes pixel-by-pixel fidelity in reproducing JND characteristics, (2) image-Wise JND Loss (IWL) emphasizes on overall imperceptible degradation levels, and (3) Feature-Wise JND Loss (FWL) aligns the reconstructed image features with perceptually significant features. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of JND integration, highlighting improvements in rate-distortion performance and visual quality, compared to baseline methods. The proposed methods add no extra complexity after training.

The ultrasound robotic system (URS) is of tremendous importance for assisting sonographers to diagnose various diseases. Generally, the quality of ultrasound image which is evaluated through confidence map has a high dependency on the experience of sonographers. In order to obtain high-quality ultrasound image under URS, we take confidence map into consideration of control frame and propose confidence-driven adaptive optimal impedance learning scheme. By introducing an appropriate performance function which blends both confidence value and contacting force, an iterative learning strategy is conducted to achieve favorable scanning performance. Finally, we show the experiment results on the human volunteer.
