We propose a new approach using Deep Convolution Neural Network (DCNN) to correct for image degradations due to statistical noise and photon attenuation in Emission Tomography (ET). The proposed approach first reconstructs an image by the standard Filtered Backprojection (FBP) without correcting for the degradations followed by inputting the degraded image into DCNN to obtain an improved image. We consider two different scenarios. The first scenario inputs an ET image only into DCNN, whereas the second scenario inputs a pair of degraded ET image and CT/MRI image to improve accuracy of the correction. The simulation result demonstrates that both the scenarios can improve image quality compared to the FBP without correction, and, in particular, accuracy of the second scenario is comparable to that of the standard iterative reconstruction such as Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximization (MLEM) and Ordered-Subsets EM (OSEM) methods. The proposed method is able to output an image in very short time, because it does not rely on iterative computations.
In this paper, a new efficient Gaussian noise removal algorithm is proposed that removes the Gaussian noises from the noisy images. This proposed method depends on statistical parameters like local standard deviation ...

To overcome the oscillation problem in the classical momentum-based optimizer, recent work associates it with the proportional-integral (PI) controller, and artificially adds D term producing a PID controller. It suppresses oscillation with the sacrifice of introducing extra hyper-parameter. In this paper, we analyze that the fluctuation problem relates to the lag effect of the integral (I) term, and propose SPI-Optimizer, an integral-Separated PI controller based optimizer WITHOUT introducing extra hyper-parameter. It separates momentum term adaptively when the inconsistency of current and historical gradient direction occurs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SPI-Optimizer generalizes well on popular network architectures to eliminate the oscillation, and owns competitive performance with faster convergence speed (up to 40% epochs reduction ratio) and more accurate classification result on MNIST, CIFAR10, and CIFAR100 (up to 27.5% error reduction ratio) than state-of-the-art methods.

Commodity imaging systems rely on hardware image signal processing (ISP) pipelines. These low-level pipelines consist of a sequence of processing blocks that, depending on their hyperparameters, reconstruct a color image from RAW sensor measurements. Hardware ISP hyperparameters have a complex interaction with the output image, and therefore with the downstream application ingesting these images. Traditionally, ISPs are manually tuned in isolation by imaging experts without an end-to-end objective. Very recently, ISPs have been optimized with 1st-order methods that require differentiable approximations of the hardware ISP. Departing from such approximations, we present a hardware-in-the-loop method that directly optimizes hardware imageprocessing pipelines for end-to-end domain-specific losses by solving a nonlinear multi-objective optimization problem with a novel 0th-order stochastic solver directly interfaced with the hardware ISP. We validate the proposed method with recent hardware ISPs and 2D object detection, segmentation, and human viewing as end-to-end downstream tasks. For automotive 2D object detection, the proposed method outperforms manual expert tuning by 30% mean average precision (mAP) and recent methods using ISP approximations by 18% mAP.

Monocular absolute 3D fish pose estimation allows for efficient fish length measurement in the longline fisheries, where fishes are under severe deformation during the catching process. This task is challenging since it requires locating absolute 3D fish keypoints based on a short monocular video clip. Unlike related works, which either require expensive 3D ground-truth data and/or multiple-view images to provide depth information, or are limited to rigid objects, we propose a novel frame-based method to estimate the absolute 3D fish pose and fish length from a single-view 2D segmentation mask. We first introduce a relative 3D fish template. By minimizing an objective function, our method systematically estimates the relative 3D pose of the target fish and fish 2D keypoints in the image. Finally, with a closed-form solution, the relative 3D fish pose can help locate absolute 3D keypoints, resulting in the frame-based absolute fish length measurement, which is further refined based on the statistical temporal inference for the optimal fish length measurement from the video clip. Our experiments show that this method can accurately estimate the absolute 3D fish pose and further measure the absolute length, even outperforming the state-of-the-art multi-view method.

The imageprocessing technique described in this paper can be used for the classification of photographs that display an object of interest. Spots on the object having distinct color surrounded by a potential halo are segmented. The gray level, area and the number of the spots can determine the class of the object displayed in the photograph. The color histograms of the regions of interest are expected to have similar form in different photographs belonging to the same class. Instead of employing complicated pattern matching algorithms simple features are used including the position and the peaks of the lobes. Plant or skin disease diagnosis are indicative applications that can benefit from the proposed method. High speed classification is achieved with good accuracy in the cases where the proposed methods have been employed. However, their main advantage is the simplicity that allows extensibility since new classes can be supported after a draft statisticalprocessing of a small number of photographs.

Recently big data is a hot topic in many fields. Here we use distributed algorithms to treat big data in Chinese stock market. First the two stock indexes (Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Composite indexes) from 1990-2019 are collected. Then the data are divided to several subsets and are analyzed separately via computer programs. Finally the results for every subset are combined due to distributed algorithms theory. In addition to big data scheme, we adopt stochastic processes theory and moment equations methods.

State-of-the-art models often make use of superficial patterns in the data that do not generalize well to out-of-domain or adversarial settings. For example, textual entailment models often learn that particular key words imply entailment, irrespective of context, and visual question answering models learn to predict prototypical answers, without considering evidence in the image. In this paper, we show that if we have prior knowledge of such biases, we can train a model to be more robust to domain shift. Our method has two stages: we (1) train a naive model that makes predictions exclusively based on dataset biases, and (2) train a robust model as part of an ensemble with the naive one in order to encourage it to focus on other patterns in the data that are more likely to generalize. Experiments on five datasets with out-of-domain test sets show significantly improved robustness in all settings, including a 12 point gain on a changing priors visual question answering dataset and a 9 point gain on an adversarial question answering test set.

This paper considers problems regarding the development of stochastic models consistent with the results of character image recognition in video stream. Assumptions about their structure and properties are formulated for the constructed models. The description of the model components defines the Dirichlet distribution and its generalizations. The parameters of these distributions are determined using statistical estimation methods. The Akaike information criterion is used to rank models. The verification of the agreement of the proposed theoretical distributions to the sample data is carried out.
