Defocus blur detection, as an important pre-processing step of image processing, has attracted more and more attention. Albeit great success has been made, there are still several challenges for accurate defocus blur detection, such as the interference of background clutter, sensitivity to scales, missing boundary details and large computational burden. For handling these issues, we present a deep neural network which hierarchically embeds residual learning blocks for defocus blur detection. Based on the feature pyramid structure, we extract deep features with varying scales via utilizing a backbone fully convolutional network and generate a coarse score map by using the last layer of feature maps. Then we design a hierarchical residual embedding module to fuse different levels of features in a layer-wise manner. By embedding different layer-wise features in the top-down pathway, coarse-level semantic information from the deep layers can be seamlessly propagated to shallow layers, while fine details in the shallow layers can be used to refine the boundary between out-of-focus and in-focus regions. For each layer, a side output is generated by using a residual learning block. For capturing multi-scale information, the multiple side outputs of different layers are fed into a designed fusion block for yielding the final blur map result. Experimental results on two commonly used datasets show that our proposed network can more accurately locate the defocus blur regions with sharpened details being well preserved when compared to other previous state-of-the-arts. In addition, our approach is fast as well and can run at a speed of more than 25 FPS when processing an image with size 427 x 640.

The article deals with the actual problem of identification of probabilistic processes as a result of the operation of drilling rigs in the oil industry. The world experience of finding ways to solve optimal forecasting tools using machine learning is summarized. Mnemonic rule for the implementation of classification and ranking systems in the detection of feedbacks as probable indicators of complications of ongoing technological processes is implemented through the description of the formal model of the drilling process in form of a hidden Markov model. The results of evaluation of the developed mathematical apparatus in the form of predictive analytics and a cut of basic complications in the drilling process are presented. An infological diagram of the developed architectural solution of the analysis project is proposed. The results of the control algorithms formalization are given in conclusion. These results allow to ensure the effective procees modes of equipment operation and make it possible to save electricity and water.

The development of robotic systems with a certain level of autonomy to be used in critical scenarios, such as an operating room, necessarily requires a seamless integration of multiple state-of-the-art technologies. In this paper we propose a cognitive robotic architecture that is able to help an operator accomplish a specific task. The architecture integrates an action recognition module to understand the scene, a supervisory control to make decisions, and a model predictive control to plan collision-free trajectory for the robotic arm taking into account obstacles and model uncertainty. The proposed approach has been validated on a simplified scenario involving only a da VinciO surgical robot and a novel manipulator holding standard laparoscopic tools.

In this note, we correct a wrong result in a paper of Das et al. with regard to the comparison between the Wiener index and the Zagreb indices for trees (Das K C, Jeon H, Trinajstic N. The comparison between the Wiener index and the Zagreb indices and the eccentric connectivity index for trees. Discrete Appl. Math., 2014, 171:35 41), and give a simple way to compare the Wiener index and the Zagreb indices for trees. Moreover, the comparison between the Wiener index and the Zagreb indices for unicyclic graphs is carried out.

We analyze certain aspects of the group-theoretical approach to Bell inequalities proposed by Güney and Hillery. The general procedure for constructing the relevant group orbits is described. Using Hall theorem we determine the form of Bell inequality in the single-orbit case. It is shown that in this case the Bell inequality is not violated for a maximally entangled state generating trivial subrepresentation if the representation under consideration is real.

In multi-criteria decision support methods a significant participation of the decision maker is required. The obtained assessment is subjective, and the decision-making process is usually difficult to automate. Limiting interaction with the decision-maker, while maintaining the characteristics of multi-criteria analysis seems to be a desirable direction of methodological research. One of the solutions going in this direction is the original multi-criteria PVM method. The applicability of the method has been verified in the context of research on the assessment of EU countries in terms of ensuring healthy living conditions.
