Purpose Improper suturing may cause an inadequate wound healing process and wound dehiscence as well as infection and even graft rejection in case of corneal transplantation. Hence, training surgeons in correct suturing procedures and objectively assessing their surgical skills is desirable. methods Two complementary methods for assessment of suturing skills in two medical fields (general surgery and ocular microsurgery) were demonstrated. Suturing quality is assessed by computer vision software. Evaluation of stitching flow of operation is based on measuring strain induced in an optical fiber that is placed in proximity to the wound and parallel thereto and is pressed and passed by wound stitches. Results Our software generated a score for suturing outcome in both general surgery and ocular microsurgery when the stitching was done on a patch. Every trainee received a score in the range 0-100 that describes his/her performance. Strain values were recognized when using a patch in general surgery and a rubber patch in ocular microsurgery, but were less distinct in (disqualified) human cornea. Conclusions We proved a concept of an objective scoring method (based on various imageprocessing algorithms) for assessment of suturing performance. It was also shown that fiber optic strain sensors are sensitive to the flow of stitching operation on a patch but are less sensitive to the flow of stitching operation on a human cornea. By combining these two methods, we can comprehensively evaluate the suturing performance objectively.

Clear and clean underwater images can provide valuable information, which are crucial for developing, exploring, and protecting the underwater resources. However, the raw underwater image seldom fulfills the requirements concerning the underwater research due to the serious image degradation. To enhance single underwater image, we propose an effective and new method combined on the dehazing and color correction algorithm. First, we obtain the dehazed image by a fusion dehazing method calculated on the difference between maximum green-blue dark channels and maximum red dark channel, and the top 0.1% bright pixels in green-blue dark channels. Second, we obtain the enhanced image via the color restoration method corresponding to the human visual system. Finally, we use an efficient and simple weight fusion strategy to incorporate the dehazed image and the enhanced image for yielding the final high quality underwater image. Subjective assessment demonstrates that our method can remove haze, correct color cast, improve image brightness, and preserve image naturalness. The enhanced results obtain the highest values in terms of entropy, average gradient, UCIQE, UIQM, and CCF, which is superior to several existing underwater enhancement methods. Moreover, our method can improve other degraded image quality, such as low-light image and haze image, and can benefit the application tests, such as key points matching and edge detection.

The image or video input from the camera is one of the important data sources for unmanned vehicles to perceive the environment. However, the 2D/3D bounding box can only provide a very coarse approximation because one box often contains other targets and background. In order to solve the problem of precise target tracking and computing limitations of edge devices, this paper proposes Polarmask-Tracker, a lightweight segmentation-based multi-object tracking network for vehicular edge devices. Polarmask-Tracker extended the lightweight Polarmask segmentation head with tracking vector. The polar mask replaces the traditional mask prediction by regression of a group of fixed edge points in polar coordinate system, which can greatly optimize the computational complexity and regression difficulty of the mask. With an additional tracking vector branch generated based on mask, the model can learn tracking tasks in an end-to-end manner. Finally, we further accelerated the entire model based on TensorRT and achieve real-time tracking on mobile edge computing platform. Different from previous evaluations on the imageNet and COCO datasets, this study uses the KITTI tracking dataset to extend the instance segmentation task to segmentation tracking, also called MOTS. At the same time, the target scales captured from the autonomous vehicle camera are usually smaller, which also brings additional challenges. Evaluations on NVidia Jetson AGX show that the final Polarmask-Tracker can achieve 122.55 FPS, 46.57 mAP for mask segmentation, 56.418 HOTA for tracking.

Dynamic threshold neural P systems (DTNP systems) are a distributedparallel computing model with an interesting mechanism involving the cooperative spiking of neurons in a local region. In this paper, this mechanism is combined with the nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) to develop a novel fusion method for multi-modality medical images. The complementary information of multi-modality images is extracted using an improved novel sum-modified Laplacian (INSML) feature, which is used in the fusion rules for the low-frequency NSCT coefficients. Moreover, the high-frequency NSCT coefficients are extracted using the WLE-INSML features, which are used to construct the fusion rules for these coefficients. The proposed fusion method is evaluated on an open dataset consisting of twelve pairs of multi-modality medical images. In addition, it is compared with nine previously reported fusion methods and four deep learning based fusion methods. The qualitative and quantitative experimental results demonstrate the advantage of the proposed fusion method in terms of the visual quality and fusion performance. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

The multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis is exploited in this paper to localize the target using bistatic range (BR) measurements in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems. Two methods are proposed, which are termed distributed MDS and joint MDS methods, respectively. In the proposed methods, the scalar product matrix in classic MDS framework is formulated using BR measurements. By minimizing the cost function composed of multiple scalar product matrices, a closed-form solution for target location is presented. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
