Schizophrenia (SC) is a complex mental disorder with diverse symptoms that make diagnosis challenging. This study aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy for SC using deep learning techniques applied to resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) data, capturing both spatial and temporal features of brain activity. We introduced a novel slice-wise classification approach using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze brain activity from rsfMRI images. Preprocessing included normalization, noise reduction, and contrast enhancement. The study utilized data from 158 subjects, including 83 schizophrenia patients and 75 healthy controls. We combined CNN-extracted features with traditional machine learning models such as support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting (GB) to boost classification performance. Transfer learning using pre-trained models like VGG16, ResNet50, and Xception was applied to leverage advanced feature extraction. Model performance was evaluated based on precision, accuracy, recall, and F1 score. The CNN-based approach achieved significant improvements in classification accuracy, with a peak accuracy of 98.67%. The hybrid models combining CNN features with SVM, RF, and GB achieved accuracies of 97.01%, 98.44%, and 98.84%, respectively. The CNN model alone achieved a precision of 0.9826, recall of 1.0, and F1 score of 0.9912. Pre-trained models also demonstrated high performance, with ResNet50 achieving an accuracy of 98.71%. Brain regions such as the frontal lobe (slices 5 and 9) and temporal lobe (slices 15 and 25) were identified as key areas with significant differences between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of deep learning models, particularly CNNs and hybrid approaches with traditional machine learning models, in enhancing schizophrenia diagnosis using rsfMRI data. Identifying key brain regions provides insights into schizophrenia’s neurobiological underpinnings. Fu

Vision sensors are versatile and can capture a wide range of visual cues, such as color, texture, shape, and depth. This versatility, along with the relatively inexpensive availability of machine vision cameras, played an important role in adopting vision-based environment perception systems in autonomous vehicles (AVs). However, vision-based perception systems can be easily affected by glare in the presence of a bright source of light, such as the sun or the headlights of the oncoming vehicle at night or simply by light reflecting off snow or ice-covered surfaces;scenarios encountered frequently during driving. In this paper, we investigate various glare reduction techniques, including the proposed saturated pixel-aware glare reduction technique for improved performance of the computer vision (CV) tasks employed by the perception layer of AVs. We evaluate these glare reduction methods based on various performance metrics of the CV algorithms used by the perception layer. Specifically, we considered object detection, object recognition, object tracking, depth estimation, and lane detection which are crucial for autonomous driving. The experimental findings validate the efficacy of the proposed glare reduction approach, showcasing enhanced performance across diverse perception tasks and remarkable resilience against varying levels of glare.

High-dimensional and incomplete(HDI) matrices are primarily generated in all kinds of big-data-related practical applications. A latent factor analysis(LFA) model is capable of conducting efficient representation learning to an HDI matrix,whose hyper-parameter adaptation can be implemented through a particle swarm optimizer(PSO) to meet scalable ***, conventional PSO is limited by its premature issues,which leads to the accuracy loss of a resultant LFA model. To address this thorny issue, this study merges the information of each particle's state migration into its evolution process following the principle of a generalized momentum method for improving its search ability, thereby building a state-migration particle swarm optimizer(SPSO), whose theoretical convergence is rigorously proved in this study. It is then incorporated into an LFA model for implementing efficient hyper-parameter adaptation without accuracy loss. Experiments on six HDI matrices indicate that an SPSO-incorporated LFA model outperforms state-of-the-art LFA models in terms of prediction accuracy for missing data of an HDI matrix with competitive computational ***, SPSO's use ensures efficient and reliable hyper-parameter adaptation in an LFA model, thus ensuring practicality and accurate representation learning for HDI matrices.
