This study investigated the effects of image resizing vs cropping on the performance of state-of-the-art models for the brain tumor segmentation task. This is particularly important since many studies simply resize the image without thinking about potential effects of image distortion on the model's segmentation performance. Since the objective of tumor segmentation is to predict the pixels that comprise the actual tumor, image cropping was performed in order to focus more on the brain and the tumor and not on the background. This conjecture was tested using state-of-the-art models namely 2D U-Net, 2D U- Net with VGG19 as backbone, 2D U-Net with InceptionV3 ad backbone, and 2D U-Net with InceptionResNetV2 as backbone. Three different configurations were designed for this purpose. The first configuration used resized images while the second configuration used cropped images. The third configuration used pretrained weights of models of trained on the resized images and then applied them on the cropped images. Overall, the top three models are 2D U-Net with InceptionResNetV2 as backbone trained using the resized images followed by 2D U-Net trained also using the resized images and then finally by 2D U-Net trained using the cropped images. As to why cropping did not perform well in this experiment, several plausible explanations were provided in this study.

LiDAR is a new type of sensor used for gait recognition. Previous LiDAR-based state-of-the-art methods mostly exploit gait features from the depth maps generated by projecting point clouds in a 3D-to-2D manner, rather than directly using the raw 3D point data. However, these projection-based methods require an additional preprocessing step, which obstructs the universality of the method among different types of LiDARs. On the other hand, while existing point-based methods have achieved promising results in 3D object recognition, they have underperformed in 3D gait recognition, indicating the presence of a domain gap between coarse-grained 3D object classification and fine-grained 3D pedestrians recognition. By analyzing the success achieved by camera-based methods, we perceive that point-based gait recognition fails mainly because of neglecting to capture local representation. To address this issue, we propose an end-to-end 3D gait recognition framework named PointGait, which can directly capture informative gait features from point cloud data. Specifically, PointGait is a multi-stream model consisting of a Global and Local Gait Feature Extractor to extract holistic and fine-grained spatial features. Besides, a Personalized Motion Extractor is introduced to capture inter-frame motion features. Our experimental results on a LiDAR gait dataset, SUSTech1K, outperform all popular point-based methods, demonstrating the effectiveness and potential of our approach. In conclusion, the proposed PointGait promotes the development of point-based gait recognition by highlighting the importance of incorporating fine-grained spatiotemporal information.

The least squares estimator is the most popular identification method. In the absence of prior knowledge on the unknown noise, uniform weights on all samples are often as-sumed. In reality, potentially unknown contamination is always present and the uniform weights are not necessarily the best. Further, explicit information about the nature of contamination is usually absent. To this end, a relaxed-tilted least squares method is proposed here to assign unequal weights so that the effect of undesired noise contamination can be mitigated. The relaxed-tilted least squares method tilts the uniform prior on the samples so as to move the uniform distribution in a direction that enjoys the smallest estimation error in the neighborhood of the uniform distribution. Theoretical results are established including the ability of outlier removal and the guaranteed parameter convergence in the presence of outliers. Numerical algorithms are proposed and simulated, which support the theoretical derivations.

The early detection of colorectal polyps is crucial for the reduction of mortality rates. However, manually identifying polyps is time-consuming and expensive, increasing the risk of missing them. Our paper aims to address this issue by presenting an automated segmentation approach for colorectal polyps. This paper proposes a method that combines a skip connection with hybrid attention guidance (AG) using attention guidance (AG) and residual path frameworks to identify salient features. Furthermore, we augment test samples using original, horizontal flip, and vertical flip transformations to enhance model robustness through Test Time Augmentation (TTA). The model was trained with Kvasir-seg samples and evaluated on Kvasir-seg and CVC-ClinicDB datasets to gauge generalizability. A significant accuracy (0.9546), a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 0.8557, a Cross-section over Union (IoU) of 0.8824, a Recall (0.8221), a Precision (0.8922), an area under Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC-AUC) of 0.9454, and an area under Precision-Recall (AUC-PR) of 0.8717 were achieved without TTA. Through TTA integration, accuracy (0.9993), DSC (0.8663), IoU (0.8277), Recall (0.8060), Precision (0.9364), and ROC-AUC (0.9587) have been improved. A comparison of our framework with state-of-the-art models demonstrated its effectiveness and segmentation capabilities. Additionally, the proposed model contains only 0.47 million parameters and a weight size of 6.71 MB, illustrating its potential for clinical diagnostics. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system improves patient outcomes by detecting colorectal polyps early and improving segmentation accuracy.

Preparing and manipulating N-dimensional flying qudits as well as subsequently establishing their entanglement are still challenging tasks. Here, using an integrated approach, we explore the synergy from two degrees of freedom of light, spatial mode and polarization, to generate, encode, and manipulate flying photon qudits in a four-dimensional Hilbert space with high quantum fidelity, intrinsically enabling enhanced noise resilience and higher quantum data rates.

In this paper, the inverse Kalman filtering problem is addressed using a duality-based framework, where certain statistical properties of uncertainties in a dynamical model are recovered from observations of its posterior estimates. The duality relation in inverse filtering and inverse optimal control is established. It is shown that the inverse Kalman filtering problem can be solved using results from a well-posed inverse linear quadratic regulator. Identifiability of the considered inverse filtering model is proved and a unique covariance matrix is recovered by a least squares estimator, which is also shown to be statistically consistent. Effectiveness of the proposed methods is illustrated by numerical simulations.
