With the development of deep learning techniques, single-image super-resolution methods based on deep learning have made great progress, enabling significant improvements in image quality and detail reproduction. However, deep convolutional neural networks are often complicated and hard to be understood, and the computational cost limits the application of the models in practical situations. In order to deploy the network on mobile devices with very limited computing power, we build a refined image super-resolution model based on shuffle learning. Based on extensive experimental results on image super-resolution using three widely used datasets, our model not only achieves high scores on the peak signal-to-noise ratio/structural similarity index matrix, but also is simpler and easier to be implemented than other image super-resolution models.

Cutting-edge medical image analysis, driven by quantum-based techniques, offers automated information extraction from images, revolutionizing health care. Traditional methods are being outpaced by the demand for advanced real-time digital imageprocessing. This article introduces an innovative approach to medical image edge detection based on entropy. In recent years, various quantum representation models have emerged, addressing the complex nature of medical images characterized by dark backgrounds and low contrast. To enhance image quality, the article introduces the novel enhanced quantum representation model, which leverages the colour operations of Caraiman's quantum image representation model to improve the greyscale values of individual pixels. However, the article acknowledges that quantum noise remains a challenge in imageprocessing due to statistical fluctuations in medical imaging. To combat this, the article introduces a neural network-based hybrid filter, comprising neural edge enhancers and bilateral filters. The neural filter acts as a fusion operator, effectively eliminating quantum noise from the output image. Another challenge addressed in this work is the time complexity of edge detection. The article presents a novel methodology for edge extraction based on Hill entropy for medical images, which involves segmenting the image into objects and backgrounds using a threshold value. This method aims to reduce computation time while producing high-quality edge detection. The proposed algorithm is implemented using MATLAB software and evaluated on various images. The results demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness, with a notably higher peak signal-to-noise ratio of 41.5312%, a lower mean square error of 0.0214%, and an improved contrast-to-noise ratio of 42.59%. These outcomes underscore the algorithm's superior performance in edge detection for medical images, offering a remarkable accuracy of 97.5% compared to traditional methods.

stochastic graph neural networks (SGNNs) are information processing architectures that learn representations from data over random graphs. SGNNs are trained with respect to the expected performance, which comes with no guarantee about deviations of particular output realizations around the optimal expectation. To overcome this issue, we propose a variance-constrained optimization problem for SGNNs, balancing the expected performance and the stochastic deviation. An alternating primal-dual learning procedure is undertaken that solves the problem by updating the SGNN parameters with gradient descent and the dual variable with gradient ascent. To characterize the explicit effect of the variance-constrained learning, we analyze theoretically the variance of the SGNN output and identify a trade-off between the stochastic robustness and the discrimination power. We further analyze the duality gap of the variance-constrained optimization problem and the converging behavior of the primal-dual learning procedure. The former indicates the optimality loss induced by the dual transformation and the latter characterizes the limiting error of the iterative algorithm, both of which guarantee the performance of the variance-constrained learning. Through numerical simulations, we corroborate our theoretical findings and observe a strong expected performance with a controllable variance.

Low-rank matrix approximation has been widely applied in image compressed sensing. However, existing methods often suffer from high computational cost and the need for manual parameter tuning. In this letter, we propose a manifold and sparse low-rank unfolding network (MSLR-Net). We design a pyramid rank residual tensor learning module that approximates low-rank matrices by summing the weights of several rank-1 component tensors. Additionally, we introduce a sparse module based on convolutional dictionary learning, which explicitly enforces sparse priors and explores non-local topological low-rank features in a low-dimensional manifold space using graph convolution. The proposed MSLR-Net integrates optimization methods into an iterative unfolding framework within a neural network, offering an end-to-end structure with high interpretability and easy extensibility to other applications. Extensive experiments show that MSLR-Net demonstrates the effectiveness of its three priors and outperforms state-of-the-art approaches.

Deep learning research has gained significant popularity recently, finding applications in various domains such as image preprocessing, segmentation, object recognition, and semantic analysis. Deep learning has gradually replaced traditional algorithms such as color-based methods, contour-based methods, and motion-based methods. In the context of hand gesture recognition, traditional algorithms heavily rely on depth information for accuracy, but their performance is often subpar. This paper introduces a novel approach using a deep neural network for hand gesture recognition, requiring only a single complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera to operate amidst complex backgrounds. The neural network design incorporates depthwise separable convolutional layers, dividing the model into segmentation and recognition components. As our proposed single-stage model, we avoid the use of the whole model and thus reduce the number of weights and calculations. Additionally, in the training phase, the data augmentation and iterative training strategy further increase recognition accuracy. The results show that the proposed work uses little parameter usage while still having a higher gesture recognition rate than the other works.

The safety of the airspace could be improved by the use of visual methods for the detection and tracking of aircraft. However, in the case of the small angular size of airplanes and the high noise level in the image, sufficient use of such methods might be difficult. By using the ConvNN (Convolutional neural Network), it is possible to obtain a detector that performs the segmentation task for aircraft images that are very small and lost in the background noise. In the learning process, a database of actual aircraft images was used. Using the Monte Carlo method, four types of Max algorithms, i.e., Pixel Value, Min. Pixel Value, and Max. Abs. Pixel Value, were compared with ConvNN's forward architecture. The obtained results showed superior detection with ConvNN. For example, if the standard deviation equals 0.1, it was twice as large. Deep dream analysis for network layers is presented, which shows a preference for images with horizontal contrast lines. The proposed solution uses the processed image values for the tracking process with the raw data using the Track-Before-Detect method.

Deep learning (DL) models have emerged as alternative methods to conventional ultrasound (US) signalprocessing, offering the potential to mimic signalprocessing chains, reduce inference time, and enable the portability of processing chains across hardware. This article proposes a DL model that replicates the fine-tuned BMode signalprocessing chain of a high-end US system and explores the potential of using it with a different probe and a lower end system. A deep neural network (DNN) was trained in a supervised manner to map raw beamformed in-phase and quadrature component data into processed images. The dataset consisted of 30 000 cardiac image frames acquired using the GE HealthCare Vivid E95 system with the 4Vc-D matrix array probe. The signalprocessing chain includes depth-dependent bandpass filtering, elevation compounding, frequency compounding, and image compression and filtering. The results indicate that a lightweight DL model can accurately replicate the signalprocessing chain of a commercial scanner for a given application. Evaluation on a 15-patient test dataset of about 3000 image frames gave a structural similarity index measure (SSIM) of 98.56 +/- 0.49. Applying the DL model to data from another probe showed equivalent or improved image quality. This indicates that a single DL model may be used for a set of probes on a given system that targets the same application, which could be a cost-effective tuning and implementation strategy for vendors. Furthermore, the DL model enhanced image quality on a Verasonics dataset, suggesting the potential to port features from high-end US systems to lower end counterparts.

Previous researchers' Bearing Fault Diagnosis (BFD) methods often employ signalprocessing techniques to handle one-dimensional vibration signals, enabling the emergence of recognizable Bearing Fault Features (BFFs) in the Cartesian coordinate system. However, due to noise interference or limited by the manifestation of BFFs, these BFFs often require highly specialized personnel to identify and extract them, making the achievement of fully automated bearing fault diagnosis extremely challenging. Hence, a fully automatic BFD method based on Improved Polar Coordinate (IPC) image texture is proposed. Firstly, the proposed IPC algorithm transforms vibration signals into IPC images with easily recognizable BFFs in the polar coordinate system. Then, automatic image filtering, image texture enhancement, and texture feature extraction are achieved through methods in the field of imageprocessing. Finally, automatic BFD experiments are conducted using extracted IPC image texture features and a neural network. The entire BFD process is fully automatic, and the methods employed are relatively simple and easy to implement, which is highly advantageous for promoting and implementing a real-time fault monitoring system. Experimental results show that the proposed fully automated BFD method based on IPC image texture is effective, achieving an average diagnostic accuracy of 99.4%. This surpasses the 95.0% accuracy of a similar method based on symmetrical polar coordinate image texture and the 98.9% accuracy of an advanced method based on refined composite multi-scale dispersion entropy. Moreover, the proposed method also has significant advantages in diagnosis efficiency compared to the advanced method.

The spread of infectious diseases poses a threat to people's health. Screening and diagnosis using deep learning techniques can alleviate the pressure of the condition, especially medical image segmentation techniques, which can assist doctors inefficiently diagnosing and treating patients. However, most existing deep learning segmentation methods for medical images are mainly designed by experts based on their expertise. This paper proposes a novel wormhole and salp swarm strategy enhanced tree-seed algorithm (WSTSA). With its high efficiency, this algorithm could provide a sense of reassurance to the medical imaging field, instilling confidence in its potential. Secondly, WSTSA is integrated with a genetic algorithm to develop an automatic deep-learning neural architecture search model. Within this model, WSTSA optimizes hyperparameters during architecture search to enhance search accuracy, while the genetic algorithm explores the optimal convolutional neural network within a predefined search space. Finally, extensive experiments validate the performance of WSTSA and the proposed neural architecture search model. Statistical analyses demonstrate the superiority of WSTSA over existing state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the neural architecture search model effectively discovers excellent neural networks for medical image segmentation.
