Filaments are omnipresent features in the solar atmosphere. Their location, properties, and time evolution can provide important information about changes in solar activity and assist in the operational space weather forecast. Therefore, filaments have to be identified in full-disk images and their properties extracted from these images, but manual extraction is tedious and too time-consuming, and extraction with morphological imageprocessing tools produces a large number of false positive detections. Automatic object detection, segmentation, and extraction in a reliable manner would allow for the processing of more data in a shorter time frame. The Chromospheric Telescope (ChroTel;Tenerife, Spain), the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG), and the Kanzelh & ouml;he Observatory for Solar and Environmental Research (KSO;Austria) provide regular full-disk observations of the Sun in the core of the chromospheric H alpha absorption line. In this paper, we present a deeplearning method that provides reliable extractions of solar filaments from H alpha filtergrams. First, we trained the object detection algorithm YOLOv5 with labeled filament data of ChroTel H alpha filtergrams. We used the trained model to obtain bounding boxes from the full GONG archive. In a second step, we applied a semi-supervised training approach where we used the bounding boxes of filaments to train the algorithm on a pixel-wise classification of solar filaments with u-net. We made use of the increased data set size, which avoids overfitting of spurious artifacts from the generated training masks. Filaments were predicted with an accuracy of 92%. With the resulting filament segmentations, physical parameters such as the area or tilt angle could be easily determined and studied. We demonstrated this in an example where we determined the rush-to-the pole for Solar Cycle 24 from the segmented GONG images. In a last step, we applied the filament detection to H alpha observations from KSO and demon

Phase unwrapping is a key step in optical metrology and physical optics to obtain accurate phase distributions. In practice, phase images obtained from electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) exhibit diverse and complex morphology, with significant shape variations and non-uniform densities among different individuals. This takes challenges for accurately extracting phase information and unwrapping the phase. With the progress of deeplearning technology in optical imageprocessing, real-time performance and accuracy have become concerned issues. In this paper, an ESPI phase unwrapping method based on convolutional neural network UNet++ is proposed. The proposed network combines the depthwise separable convolution (DSC), atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP), defined as Depth_ASPP_UNet++. In this model, the use of DSC improves network computational efficiency and provides better feature representation capability. In addition, ASPP is introduced to pay more attention to the phase information of the phase image, and then obtain better phase unwrapping results. The experimental results show that our proposed method can obtain excellent results, especially with various of variable density, different noise levels, and different speckle sizes.

Online path planning for multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (multi-UAV) systems is considered a challenging task. It needs to ensure collision-free path planning in real-time, especially when the multi-UAV systems can become very crowded on certain occasions. In this paper, we presented a vision-based decentralized collision-avoidance policy learning method for multi-UAV systems. The policy takes depth images and inertial measurements as sensory inputs and outputs UAV's steering commands, and it is trained together with the latent representation of depth images using a policy gradient-based reinforcement learning algorithm and autoencoder in the multi-UAV three-dimensional workspaces. Each UAV follows the same trained policy and acts independently to reach the goal without colliding or communicating with other UAVs. We validate our method in various simulated scenarios. The experimental results show that our learned policy can guarantee fully autonomous collision-free navigation for multi-UAV in three-dimensional workspaces, and its navigation performance will not be greatly affected by the increase in the number of UAVs.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that can provide information about dynamic volume changes in the lung. This type of image does not represent structural lung information but provides changes in regions over time. EIT raw datasets or boundary voltages are comprised of two components, termed real and imaginary parts, due to the nature of cell membranes of the lung tissue. In this paper, we present the first use of EIT boundary voltage data obtained from infants for the automatic detection of apnea using machine learning, and investigate which components contain the main features of apnea events. We selected 15 premature neonates with an episode of apnea in their breathing pattern and applied a hybrid classification model that combines two established methods;a pre-trained transfer learning method with a convolutional neural network with 50 layers deep (ResNet50) architecture, and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. ResNet50 training was undertaken using an imageNet dataset. The learnt parameters were fed into the SVM classifier to identify apnea and non-apnea cases from neonates' EIT datasets. The performance of our classification approach on the real part, the imaginary part and the absolute value of EIT boundary voltage datasets were investigated. We discovered that the imaginary component contained a larger proportion of apnea features.

Microfluidic technologies have long enabled the manipulation of flow-driven cells en masse under a variety of force fields with the goal of characterizing them or discriminating the pathogenic ones. On the other hand, a microfluidic platform is typically designed to function under optimized conditions, which rarely account for specimen heterogeneity and internal/external perturbations. In this work, we demonstrate a proof-of-principle adaptive microfluidic system that consists of an integrated network of distributed electrical sensors for on-chip tracking of cells and closed-loop feedback control that modulates chip parameters based on the sensor data. In our system, cell flow speed is measured at multiple locations throughout the device, the data is interpreted in real-time via deeplearning-based algorithms, and a proportional-integral feedback controller updates a programmable pressure pump to maintain a desired cell flow speed. We validate the adaptive microfluidic system with both static and dynamic targets and also observe a fast convergence of the system under continuous external perturbations. With an ability to sustain optimal processing conditions in unsupervised settings, adaptive microfluidic systems would be less prone to artifacts and could eventually serve as reliable standardized biomedical tests at the point of care.

Airborne respirable fibers, such as asbestos are hazardous to health. Occupational health and safety guidelines and laws require detection and identification of all the asbestos containing materials. However, detection and identification of asbestos fibers is a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. In this work, we present a deeplearning based Semantic Segmentation model that is able to automate the asbestos analysis process, reducing the turnaround time from hours to minutes. The proposed deep neural network provides end-to-end automation of the analysis process, starting with transforming the input Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images, to identifying and counting the number of fibers in the image, to masking the identified fiber regions and re-arranging for efficient processing by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Finally, we provide implementation details of a U-Net based Semantic Segmentation model that is able to detect and count asbestos fibers (air sample) in SEM images with up to 95% accuracy.

The morbidity and mortality of lung cancer are increasing rapidly in every country in the world, and pulmonary nodules are the main symptoms of lung cancer in the early stage. If we can diagnose pulmonary nodules in time at the early stage and follow up and treat suspicious patients, we can effectively reduce the incidence of lung cancer. CT (Computed Tomography) has been applied to the screening of many diseases because of its high resolution. Pulmonary nodules show white round shadows in CT images. With the popularity of CT equipment, doctors need to review a large number of imaging results every day. Doctors will misjudge and miss the lesions because of reviewing CT scanning results for a long time. At this time, the method of automatic detection of pulmonary nodules by computer can relieve the pressure of doctors in reviewing CT scan *** lung nodule detection methods, such as gray threshold method and region growing method, divide the detection process into two steps: extracting candidate regions and eliminating false regions. In addition, the traditional detection method can only operate on a single image, which leads to the inability of this method to detect the batch scanning results in realtime. With the continuous development of computer equipment per-formance and artificial intelligence, the relationship between medical imageprocessing and deeplearning is getting closer and closer. In deeplearning, object detection methods such as Faster R-CNN?YOLO can complete parallel detection of batch images, and deep structure can fully extract the features of input images. Compared with traditional lung nodule detection methods, it has the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision. Faster R-CNN is a classical and high-precision two-stage object detection method. In this paper, an improved Faster R-CNN model is proposed. On the basis of Faster R-CNN, multi-scale training strategy is used to fully mine the features of different scale spa
