Polymer nanocomposites typically possess heterogeneous microstructures that significantly affect structure-property relationships of these material systems. Various microscopic imaging techniques, such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray microscopy, are essential for characterizing nanocomposite material systems and have provided informative insights of microstructural features. However, microscopic imaging through experiments can be expensive when large amounts of microstructural data are needed. One promising approach to address the imaging limitation and more efficiently generate large microstructural dataset is to statistically reconstruct similar images from a single original input image. A common method used to generate statistically equivalent images is the simulated annealing optimization algorithm. However, due to the high computational cost associated with the stochastic search path used in the simulated annealing algorithm, it can be challenging to reconstruct images with a high degree of agreement. Thus, in this study, a novel and more efficient image reconstruction method was developed by optimizing the simulated annealing algorithm through the manipulation of search path domain and available statistical information. The optimization technique was implemented to reconstruct several example two-dimensional (2D) images to evaluate its capabilities.

Nowadays neural networks are omnipresent thanks to the amazing adaptability they possess, despite their poor interpretability and the difficulties they give when manipulating the parameters. On the other side, we have the classical variational approach, where the restoration is obtained as the solution of a given optimization problem. The bilevel approach is connected to both approaches and consists first in devising a parametric formulation of the variational problem, then in optimizing these parameters with respect to a given dataset of training data. In this work we analyze the classical bilevel approach in combination with unrolling techniques, where the parameters of the variational problem are trained with respect to the results obtained after a fixed number of iterations of an optimization method applied to it. This results in a large scale optimization problem which can be solved by means of stochasticmethods;as we observed in our numerical experiments, the stochastic approach can produce medium accuracy results in very few epochs. Moreover, our experiments also show that the unrolling approach leads to results which are comparable with those of the original bilevel method in terms of accuracy.
Unrolled optimization methods have emerged as a way to combine classical iterative optimization techniques with learned priors to efficiently solve image restoration problems. However, learning the regularization prio...

In this paper, we propose the Variance Reduced Randomized Kaczmarz (VR-RK) algorithm for XFEL signal particle imaging phase retrieval. The VR-RK algorithm is inspired by the randomized Kaczmarz algorithm and the variance reduction in stochastic gradient methods. The formulations of the VR-RK algorithm under the L-1 and L-2 constraints are also presented. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the VR-RK method has a faster convergence rate compared with the randomized Kaczmarz method. Tests on the synthetic signal particle imaging data and the PR772 XFEL real imaging data show that the VR-RK algorithm can recover information with higher accuracy. It is useful for biological data processing.

This research study analyzes the multidimensional landscape of steganography, examining its historical roots, theoretical background, contemporary approaches, and various applications. Beginning with a historical overview, this study investigates the evolution of steganography from its ancient roots to its present iterations in the digital world. Next, the study progresses towards analyzing the fundamental principles and theoretical frameworks that underpin steganographic systems, such as cryptography and digital signal processing. Finally, this study presents a thorough evaluation of contemporary steganographic technologies, which range from simple LSB (Least Significant Bit) substitution techniques to advanced adaptive algorithms and machine learning methods by including deep-learning based steganography and coverless steganography. Notably, this study identifies key challenges, including detection resistance, payload capacity, and robustness against attacks. Overall, this study presents a thorough understanding of steganography, emphasizing its significance as a versatile tool for communication in the digital era, while also highlighting the challenges that pave way for future innovations.

With the development of machine learning techniques in the imageprocessing field, research related to semantic segmentation has attracted much attention. Especially in medical image segmentation requires highly pixel-by-pixel accurate results. Given that it is difficult to obtain test images with their ground truth in the medical field, we aim to develop a robust method in an environment with few test images. Specifically, we improve Textonboost by using differential evolution and stochastic hill climbing methods. Experimental results showed that the proposed method outperformed conventional methods in terms of accuracy.
