Joint face super-resolution and frontalization of non-frontal low-resolution faces is of significant importance for many face analysis applications. However, at the same time, it is a challenging task. In this paper, a novel Guided Transformative Generative Adversarial Network (GT-GAN) is proposed to address the challenge of generating frontal high-resolution face images from non-frontal low-resolution face images. Existing methods usually treat super-resolution and frontalization as two separate tasks, leading to unsatisfactory processing results. GTG AN innovatively achieves both goals within a unified frame-work. Specifically, we propose Profile Attention Guidance (PAG) to generate landmark heatmaps that provide a priori pose information to the generative network and direct its attention to critical facial regions. In addition, an Attention Fusion Transformation Module (AFTM) is proposed to significantly improve the hallucination performance of the network by utilizing the attention mechanism and STNs, combined with sequential feature enhancement strategies. The experimental results show that GT-GAN exhibits superior performance in the joint face super-resolution and frontalization task on the public face dataset Multi-PIE, which provides new ideas and references for this challenging topic.

This paper tackles the challenge of achieving prescribed-time synchronization (PTS) for stochastic complex networks (SCNs) under the framework of aperiodically intermittent control (AIC). The adoption of a time-varying function ensures all states of the SCNs reach synchronization at the preset time. Compared with the PTS under the framework of deterministic systems, the introduction of stochastic disturbances has more practical significance. Introducing an auxiliary function makes the Lyapunov method mentioned in this paper valid under the AIC framework. Moreover, the AIC proposed in this paper relies on the average control rate instead of the infimum control rate, leading to less conservative results. At last, the viability of the theoretical results is confirmed by a simulation of a strongly connected digraph.

Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) and its variants have shown remarkable performance in scenarios characterized by a scarcity of labeled data during the training phase of machine learning models. Despite these successes, MAML-based approaches encounter significant challenges when there is a substantial discrepancy in the distribution of training and testing tasks, resulting in inefficient learning and limited generalization across domains. Inspired by classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control theory, this study introduces a Layer-Adaptive PID (LA-PID) Optimizer, a MAML-based optimizer that employs efficient parameter optimization methods to dynamically adjust task-specific PID control gains at each layer of the network, conducting a first-principles analysis of optimal convergence conditions. A series of experiments conducted on four standard benchmark datasets demonstrate the efficacy of the LA-PID optimizer, indicating that LA-PID achieves state-of-the-art performance in few-shot classification and cross-domain tasks, accomplishing these objectives with fewer training steps.

Image steganography is the process of hiding secret information into an image while still keeping its original appearance intact. It plays a crucial role in secure communication and data storage. While deep learning-based techniques have shown notable progress in the field of image steganography, they still face challenges in extraction accuracy and robust security. This paper introduces an innovative image steganography method utilizing the diffusion model, which is the most powerful technique of image generation. Our method utilizes the sampling process of the diffusion model to hide the secret image in the generated image, and the receiver uses the secret key to extract the secret data accurately. The results of our experiments validate the effectiveness of our approach, outperforming existing methods in security, capacity, and extraction precision, which shows the potential for practical applications.

Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft has gained significant attention as a basic element of urban air mobility (UAM), a potential solution for urban transportation challenges using low-altitude urban airspace. Ensuring the safe operation of eVTOL is crucial for UAM applications, which are related to various professional fields such as aerodynamics, control, structures, and power systems. This article systematically analyzes the characteristics of different design configurations, including multi-rotor, lift+cruise, and tilt-rotor types of eVTOL. The advantages and limitations of each type of eVTOL are analyzed. After that, the overall design problems are analyzed, and challenges of eVTOL control system design are discussed from aspects of overall control structure and subsystems, such as controller, sensors, actuators, and command generator. This article tries to fill the gap in the eVTOL design from a control perspective and provides some resolutions for the eVTOL application. IEEE
