What the human visual system can perceive is strongly limited by the capacity of our working memory and attention. Such limitations result in the human observer’s inability to perceive large-scale changes in a stimulus, a phenomenon known as change blindness. In this paper, we started with the premise that this phenomenon can be exploited in video coding, especially HDR-video compression where the bitrate is high. We designed an HDR-video encoding approach that relies on spatially and temporally varying quantization parameters within the framework of HEVC video encoding. In the absence of a reliable change blindness prediction model, to extract compression candidate regions (CCR) we used an existing saliency prediction algorithm. We explored different configurations and carried out a subjective study to test our hypothesis. While our methodology did not lead to significantly superior performance in terms of the ratio between perceived quality and bitrate, we were able to determine potential flaws in our methodology, such as the employed saliency model for CCR prediction (chosen for computational efficiency, but eventually not sufficiently accurate), as well as a very strong subjective bias due to observers priming themselves early on in the experiment about the type of artifacts they should look for, thus creating a scenario with little ecological validity.

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world, and it poses major health risks due to its ability to spread quickly and metastasize. Early and accurate identification is crucial for treatment success and improved patient outcomes. This proposed work combines the MobileNetV2 and Vision Transformer (ViT) architectures to create a hybrid automated skin cancer classification technique. This technique aims to increase the accuracy and efficiency of dermatological diagnosis tools by combining MobileNetV2’s effective feature extraction capabilities with ViT’s self-attention mechanism. After testing on the HAM10000 dataset, this hybrid model outperformed individual models with a remarkable $96.3 \%$ classification accuracy. Not only did the integration of ViT and MobileNetV2 improve the classification accuracy but it also demonstrated how various deep-learning architectures work together to tackle complex image analysis tasks. Classifying skin cancers is critical to the medical industry because it allows for the early diagnosis of various dermatological disorders, allowing prompt intervention and treatment. These benefits can eventually improve patient outcomes and save lives in huge numbers. The findings of this research highlight the potential of deep learning to transform dermatological diagnostics and open the door to creating systems that will significantly impact clinical practice by detecting skin cancer with greater accuracy and efficiency.

There has been a major change in the financial environment with the recent transition of traditional banking systems towards Decentralized Finance (DeFi). A decentralized alternative that includes DeFi, lessens conventional financial institutions’ drawbacks and improves privacy, transparency, transaction speed, and worldwide accessibility. The work presented here shows an Intelligent NFT-Backed Loans Framework for valuing and managing risk in the DeFi ecosystem. The architecture uses blockchain technology, smart contracts, and artificial intelligence to assure transaction security and integrity. In DeFi, we use Google Colaboratory to build a framework and evaluate its performance across five crossvalidation folds. With a maximum accuracy of 87.35 %, the framework demonstrates its efficacy and consistency over a wide range of data subsets. Using performance evaluation over 5 cross folds for training and validation data, this model enhances loan transaction security by identifying benign nodes for efficient valuation and compliance. Performance evaluation for DeFi extends to training and validation accuracy and loss over 5 folds, and also testing accuracy for 5 folds. This methodology maintains the integrity and security of NFT-backed loans by detecting unauthorized nodes on Proof of Stake permissionless blockchains.

In this work, we present the modeling of the dynamics of a robot manipulator using the Newton-Euler algorithm in the conformal algebra framework. The modeling of the dynamics of robot manipulators is currently done using the Euler-Lagrange formulation which is a batch type of computation. In contrast, in this paper, we propose a recursive algorithm for the modeling of the dynamics of robot manipulators using the Newton-Euler algorithm in the conformal geometric algebra framework.
