Image registration is a vital research branch in medical image processing and analysis. In this paper, we proposed a new framework for rigid medical image registration. It can also be regarded as a pre-processing of non-rigid image registration algorithms. The interest of the algorithm lies in its simplicity and high e±ciency. In the registration algorithm, we firstly segmented the reference image and °oat image into two parts: tissue parts and background parts. Then the centers of the two images were located through performing distance transform on the two segmented tissue images. Finally, we detected the longest radius of the two tissue regions, by which we determined the rotating angle. We tested the registration algorithm on dozens of medical images, and the experimental results show us that the algorithm is competent for medical image registration.

Ideal interpolation is a generalization of the univariate Hermite interpolation. It is well known that every univariate Hermite interpolant is a pointwise limit of some Lagrange ***, a counterexample provided by Shekhtman Boris shows that, for more than two variables,there exist ideal interpolants that are not the limit of any Lagrange interpolants. So it is natural to consider: Given an ideal interpolant, how to find a sequence of Lagrange interpolants(if any) that converge to it. The authors call this problem the discretization for ideal interpolation. This paper presents an algorithm to solve the discretization problem. If the algorithm returns "True", the authors get a set of pairwise distinct points such that the corresponding Lagrange interpolants converge to the given ideal interpolant.

This paper focuses efforts on the problem of computing the inverse of cardinal direction relations (CRs), which is a fundamental problem in qualitative spatial reasoning. We study the quite expressive cardinal direction relation model for extended objects, known as cardinal direction calculus (CDC). We first concentrate on a set of a special type of CRs defined in CDC, named rectangle-CRs, and compute the inverse of rectangle-CRs by exploiting the evident connection between basic rectangle- CRs and interval relations. Then, we consider progressively the general cardinal direction relations in CDC, or called CDC relations for short, the inverse of which is computed by reducing to the computation of the inverse of rectangle-CRs. This simplifies the computations. Analyzing in theory and the final results both demonstrate that our algorithms are correct and complete and the time complexity is bounded by a constant number of operations.

The low-altitude economy (LAE), as a new economic paradigm, plays an indispensable role in cargo transportation, healthcare, infrastructure inspection, and especially post-disaster communication. Specifically, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as one of the core technologies of the LAE, can be deployed to provide communication coverage, facilitate data collection, and relay data for trapped users, thereby significantly enhancing the efficiency of post-disaster response efforts. However, conventional UAV self-organizing networks exhibit low reliability in long-range cases due to their limited onboard energy and transmit ability. Therefore, in this paper, we design an efficient and robust UAV-swarm enabled collaborative self-organizing network to facilitate post-disaster communications. Specifically, a ground device transmits data to UAV swarms, which then use collaborative beamforming (CB) technique to form virtual antenna arrays and relay the data to a remote access point (AP) efficiently. Then, we formulate a rescue-oriented post-disaster transmission rate maximization optimization problem (RPTRMOP), aimed at maximizing the transmission rate of the whole network. Given the challenges of solving the formulated RPTRMOP by using traditional algorithms, we propose a two-stage optimization approach to address it. In the first stage, the optimal traffic routing and the theoretical upper bound on the transmission rate of the network are derived. In the second stage, we transform the formulated RPTRMOP into a variant named V-RPTRMOP based on the obtained optimal traffic routing, aimed at rendering the actual transmission rate closely approaches its theoretical upper bound by optimizing the excitation current weight and the placement of each participating UAV via a diffusion model-enabled particle swarm optimization (DM-PSO) algorithm. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage optimization approach in improving the transmission rate of the construct

AIM: To explore feasibility and practicability of macula localization independent of macular morphological features. METHODS: A novel method was proposed to identify macula in fundus images by using structure label transfer. Its main idea was to match a processed image with the candidate images with known structures, and then transfer the structure label representing the macular to the processed image as a result of macula localization. In this way, macula localization couldn't be influenced by lesion or other interference any more. RESULTS: The average success rate in four datasets was 98.18%. For accuracy, the average error distance in four datasets was 0.151 optic disc diameter (ODD). Even for severe lesion images, the proposed method can still maintain high success rate and high accuracy, e.g., 95.65% and 0.124 ODD in the case of STARE dataset, respectively, which indicated that the proposed method was highly robust and stable in the complicated situations. CONCLUSION: The proposed method can avoid the interference of lesion to macular morphological features in macula localization, and can locate macula with high accuracy and robustness, verifying its feasibility.

Stochastic variational inference (SVI) can learn topic models with very big corpora. It optimizes the variational objective by using the stochastic natural gradient algorithm with a decreasing learning rate. This rate is crucial for SVI; however, it is often tuned by hand in real applications. To address this, we develop a novel algorithm, which tunes the learning rate of each iteration adaptively. The proposed algorithm uses the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence to measure the similarity between the variational distribution with noisy update and that with batch update, and then optimizes the learning rates by minimizing the KL divergence. We apply our algorithm to two representative topic models: latent Dirichlet allocation and hierarchical Dirichlet process. Experimental results indicate that our algorithm performs better and converges faster than commonly used learning rates.
