The scarcity of annotated infrared (IR) image datasets limits deep learning networks from achieving performances comparable to those achieved with RGB data. To address this, we introduce a novel semi-supervised RGB-to-IR Image-to-Image Translation model (SSL-RGB2IR) that generates synthetic IR data from RGB images. Our model effectively preserves the IR characteristics in the generated images from both synthetic and real-world data. Compared to existing image-to-image translation techniques, training models on this generated IR data significantly improves performance in downstream tasks like segmentation and detection. Notably, in sim-to-real transfer, the segmentation model trained on SSL-RGB2IR generated IR images outperforms baselines and other Image-to-Image (I2I) models. Furthermore, for real-world applications utilizing EO/IR fusion images, this approach solves the well-known challenge of co-registering EO and IR images, which often have inherent misalignment’s due to differing sensor characteristics.

As a crucial component of multi-energy systems (MES), the energy hub significantly enhances their performance and reliability. In the energy system, the utilization of renewable energy sources (RES) can presents a significant optimization problem, capable of substantially reducing environmental pollution and lowering energy costs for users. This paper presents an optimal load dispatch model incorporating a collection of wind turbines, aimed at reducing the overall cost of operating an energy hub. It is also proposes a hub structure based on wind, natural gas, and electricity as a combined heat and power system, utilizing converters and energy storage mechanisms to obtain electricity, thermal, and cooling energy. To accomplish this, two situations are executed in the network, aiming to minimize costs by applying a problem-solving approach to the installation of wind turbines at an energy hub. After implementing energy hub management in the optimal mode, the system’s operating costs are reduced by $16 \%$, demonstrating its advantage.

In this paper, we have applied a density-based regression technique to predict the age of a human brain based on Magnetic Resonance Images. We propose four different multivariate discrete distributions to accommodate different mean-covariance and correlation structures, given the challenging nature of medical datasets. Then, we use a novel Minorization-Maximization framework to address the issue of high dimensional optimization. Finally, to handle the time and memory requirements of processing large amounts of high-resolution images, we have adopted a real-time framework, where the learning behavior is gradually improved as new data become available.

The nexus of water, food, and energy constitutes a fundamental aspect of sustainable development. Furthermore, the demand for water and energy is becoming more pronounced. Moreover, there is a growing importance placed on studying cyber security within the water-energy nexus. This research investigates the interdependence of these two systems, conceptualizing them as a water-energy nexus and effort has been conducted on optimizing the economic efficiency of electricity and water systems in order to minimize operating expenses. Subsequently, external interventions, such as the simultaneous injection of false data on both water and energy demand, were addressed through an optimization process in GAMS software. The results suggest that the value of the cost objective function remains constant when inaccurate data is introduced, which hinders the accurate estimation of the system by the system operator. in this system, both water and power loads are directly impacted by these interventions. In particular, the power and water load of the system have exhibited changes ranging from 1.5% to 17.99% for electric load and 3.87% to 17.1% for water load, in comparison to the previous state.

Motion planning at intersections is a challenging problem in autonomous driving due to the complicated interactions. The existing pipeline of "planning after predicting" is too conservative, can reduce traffic efficiency. Using game theory to model the non-cooperative coupling relationships between multiple vehicles can resolve the above problems, but such methods cannot guarantee safety without collision. This paper presents motion planning for autonomous driving with safe differential games based on control Barrier Function (CBF), and also provides a safety-critical generalized Nash equilibrium seeking algorithm. We handle the hard CBF constraints through augmented Lagrangian multiplier method. Motivated by iterative Linear-Quadratic Game (iLQG) algorithm, we use the Taylor expansion method to approximate the model into an Linear-Quadratic (LQ) structure, and then incrementally solve this problem with an iterative feedback LQ game algorithm. Through Carla simulation and hardware testing, our results indicate that the algorithm can find a balance between safety and efficiency while maintaining real-time implementation performance.

Pediatric bone age prediction is a crucial task in clinical practice that can help diagnose endocrine disorders and provide insight into a child’s growth and development. However, conventional bone age prediction methods are often labor-intensive and require specialized radiological expertise. This paper presents a Deep Learning (DL)-based approach to pediatric bone age prediction using EfficientNet with Additive Attention, a state-of-the-art neural network architecture for image classification and regression tasks. The method utilizes over 12,000 X-ray images from the RSNA bone age dataset. It involves image preprocessing, transforming them into three-channel images, and training a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to automatically learn the features of hand bone images. This approach provides a more effective and accurate solution for predicting bone age, which is critical in diagnosing pediatric endocrine diseases. This work uses two variations of the EfficientNet model (B0 and B4), where EfficientNetB4 is also finetuned with the Additive Attention mechanism. These three models predict the age for the original age, and their comparison is shown in curves. The predicted ages depict that in most cases, EfficientNetB4 and EfficientNetB4 with Additive Attention (EN-AA) successfully predicted the bone ages more accurately regarding the original age, and their performance was better than the EfficientNetB0. Specific performance metrics are provided to underscore this improvement. Learning curves for training and validation loss confirm effective learning without overfitting or underfitting, further validating our approach’s efficacy in pediatric endocrine disease diagnosis.
