The harsh marine atmospheric conditions, including high temperatures, humidity, and salt spray, prevalent in the coastal areas of Hainan, pose a significant challenge to the durability of ground facilities and equipment, often resulting in corrosion and functional degradation. Hence, accurate monitoring of corrosion is paramount for maintaining coastal engineering structures. This study leveraged data from the Chinese National Center for Materials Corrosion and Protection Science to extract corrosion morphology features using image analysis techniques. Subsequently, a corrosion identification model was developed using machine learning algorithms. The model's accuracy was validated through various evaluation metrics. The research outcomes have practical applications in the maintenance and management of coastal engineering structures by providing automatic corrosion morphology recognition. This enables maintenance personnel to promptly undertake repair measures, thereby reducing maintenance costs and enhancing structural sustainability.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have recently become a hot research topic;however, they have been studied since 2014, and a large number of algorithms have been proposed. Nevertheless, few comprehensive studies explain the connections among different GAN variants and how they have evolved. In this paper, we attempt to provide a review of the various GAN methods from the perspectives of algorithms, theory, and applications. First, the motivations, mathematical representations, and structures of most GAN algorithms are introduced in detail, and we compare their commonalities and differences. Second, theoretical issues related to GANs are investigated. Finally, typical applications of GANs in imageprocessing and computer vision, natural language processing, music, speech and audio, the medical field, and data science are discussed.

Biological vision systems inspire processing methods in computer visionapplications. This paper employs the insights of vision systems in hardware and presents a pixel-parallel, reconfigurable, and layer-based hierarchical architecture for smart image sensors. The architecture aims to bring computation close to the sensor to achieve high acceleration for different machinevisionapplications while consuming low power. We logically divide the image into multiple regions and perform pixel-level and region-level processing after removing spatiotemporal redundancy. Those processors use bio-inspired algorithms to activate the regions with region of interest of a scene. The hierarchical processing breaks the traditional sequential imageprocessing and introduces parallelism for machinevisionapplications. Also, we make the hardware design reconfigurable even after fabrication to make the hardware reusable for different applications. Simulation results show that the area overhead and power penalty for adding reconfigurable features stay in an acceptable range. We emphasize to maximize the operating speed and obtain 800 MHz. Besides, the design saves 84.01% and 96.91% dynamic power at the first and second stages of the hierarchy by removing redundant information. Furthermore, the sequential deployment of high-level reasoning only on the selected regions of the image becomes computationally inexpensive to execute a complex task in real time.

Eccentricity measurement of annular parts with millimeter scale and micrometer precision requirements is widely used in mechanical engineering applications. To realize accurate eccentricity measurement for large-scaled annular parts, a vision-based and sub-pixel dimensional measurement method is proposed. First, to facilitate the eccentricity measurement, an improved auto focus algorithm is introduced to provide better focused images of the measured parts. Then the traditional Canny operator is modified in gradient direction calculation and a double threshold process to locate the pixel edge more accurately. Next, a model-based sub-pixel edge detection method is studied to extract the sub-pixel edge coordinates. Finally, the eccentricity is calculated according to these sub-pixel edge coordinates. To guarantee measurement accuracy, the pixel equivalent and manual installation error of three degree of freedom (DOF) stages are calibrated, and the verification experiments indicate that the measurement error of the proposed method is better than 1.0 mu m.

Metasurfaces for edge detection through spatial analog calculations have attracted much attention due to advantages such as a flexible design and small footprint. Up until now, most studies have focused on single-wavelength operation in the near-infrared or visible regions, while little work has been done in the ultraviolet band. It is of significance to explore metasurfaces for edge detection in the ultraviolet band for their great potential in highresolution imaging and lithography. Here, we propose a dual-wavelength HfO2 metasurface for edge detection working at 273 nm and 293 nm, with 25% and 72% efficiency, respectively, controlled by the linear polarization of the incident light. The efficient dual-wavelength second-order differential calculation in the ultraviolet band of the metasurface has been confirmed by 1D signal and 2D imageprocessing. It may find applications in the fields of computer vision and bioimaging. (c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group

The omnipresence and deep impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in today's society are undeniable. While the technology has already established itself as a powerful tool in several industries, more recently it has also started to change the practice of medicine. The aim of this review is to provide healthcare providers working in the field of cardiovascular medicine with an overview of AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms that have passed the initial tests and made it into contemporary clinical practice. The following domains where AI/ML could revolutionize cardiology are covered: (i) signal processing, (ii) imageprocessing, (iii) clinical risk stratification, (iv) natural language processing, and (v) fundamental clinical discoveries.
