Beam scanning for joint detection and communication in integrated sensing and communication(ISAC) systems plays a critical role in continuous monitoring and rapid adaptation to dynamic environments. However, the design of sequential scanning beams for target detection with the required sensing resolution has not been tackled in the *** bridge this gap, this paper introduces a resolution-aware beam scanning design. In particular, the transmit information beamformer, the covariance matrix of the dedicated radar signal, and the receive beamformer are jointly optimized to maximize the average sum rate of the system while satisfying the sensing resolution and detection probability requirements.A block coordinate descent(BCD)-based optimization framework is developed to address the non-convex design problem. By exploiting successive convex approximation(SCA), S-procedure, and semidefinite relaxation(SDR), the proposed algorithm is guaranteed to converge to a stationary solution with polynomial time complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed design can efficiently handle the stringent detection requirement and outperform existing antenna-activation-based methods in the literature by exploiting the full degrees of freedom(DoFs) brought by all antennas.

Purpose: Ultrasound (US) elastography is a technique for non-invasive quantification of material properties, such as stiffness, from ultrasound images of deforming tissue. The material properties are calculated by solving the inverse problem on the measured displacement field from the ultrasound images. The limitations of traditional inverse problem techniques in US elastography are either slow and computationally intensive (iterative techniques) or sensitive to measurement noise and dependent on full displacement field data (direct techniques). Thus, we develop and validate a deep learning approach for solving the inverse problem in US elastography. This involves recovering the spatial modulus distribution of the elastic modulus from one component of the US-measured displacement field. Approach: We present a U-Net-based deep learning neural network to address the inverse problem in ultrasound elastography. This approach diverges from traditional methods by focusing on a data-driven model. The neural network is trained using data generated from a forward finite element model. This simulation incorporates variations in the displacement fields that correspond to the elastic modulus distribution, allowing the network to learn without the need for extensive real-world measurement data. The inverse problem of predicting the modulus spatial distribution from ultrasound-measured displacement fields is addressed using a trained neural network. The neural network is evaluated with mean squared error (MSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) metrics. To extend our model to practical purposes, we conduct phantom experiments and also apply our model to clinical data. Results: Our simulated results indicate that our deep learning (DL) model effectively reconstructs modulus distributions, as evidenced by low MSE and MAPE evaluation metrics. We obtain a mean MAPE of 0.32% for a hard inclusion and 0.39% for a soft inclusion. Similarly, in our phantom studies, the predicted mo

In task offloading, the movement of vehicles causes the switching of connected RSUs and servers, which may lead to task offloading failure or high service delay. In this paper, we analyze the impact of vehicle movements on task offloading and reveal that data preparation time for task execution can be minimized via forward-looking scheduling. Then, a Bi-LSTM-based model is proposed to predict the trajectories of vehicles. The service area is divided into several equal-sized grids. If the actual position of the vehicle and the predicted position by the model belong to the same grid, the prediction is considered correct, thereby reducing the difficulty of vehicle trajectory prediction. Moreover, we propose a scheduling strategy for delay optimization based on the vehicle trajectory prediction. Considering the inevitable prediction error, we take some edge servers around the predicted area as candidate execution servers and the data required for task execution are backed up to these candidate servers, thereby reducing the impact of prediction deviations on task offloading and converting the modest increase of resource overheads into delay reduction in task offloading. Simulation results show that, compared with other classical schemes, the proposed strategy has lower average task offloading delays.

Underwater image enhancement and object detection has great potential for studying underwater environments. It has been utilized in various domains, including image-based underwater monitoring and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)-driven applications such as underwater terrain surveying. It has been observed that underwater images are not clear due to several factors such as low light, the presence of small particles, different levels of refraction of light, etc. Extracting high-quality features from these images to detect objects is a significant challenging task. To mitigate this challenge, MIRNet and the modified version of YOLOv3 namely Underwater-YOLOv3 (U-YOLOv3) is proposed. The MIRNet is a deep learning-based technology for enhancing underwater images. while using YOLOv3 for underwater object detection it lacks in detection of very small objects and huge-size objects. To address this problem proper anchor box size, quality feature aggregation technique, and during object classification image resizing is required. The proposed U-YOLOv3 has three unique features that help to work with the above specified issue like accurate anchor box determination using the K-means++ clustering algorithm, introduced Spatial Pyramid Pooling (SPP) layer during feature extraction which helps in feature aggregation, and added downsampling and upsampling to improve the detection rate of very large and very small size objects. The size of the anchor box is crucial in detecting objects of different sizes, SPP helps in aggregation of features, while down and upsampling changes sizes of objects during object detection. Precision, recall, F1-score and mAP are used as assessment metrics to assess proposed work. The proposed work compared with SSD, Tiny-YOLO, YOLOv2, YOLOv3, YOLOv4, YOLOv5, KPE-YOLOv5, YOLOv7, YOLOv8 and YOLOv9 single stage object detectors. The experiment on the Brackish and Trash ICRA19 datasets shows that our proposed method enhances the mean average precision for b
