Lamb wave imaging has a resolution limit due to the guided wave dispersion characteristics and Rayleigh criterion limitations. In this paper, a full convolutional network is designed to segment and reconstruct the received signals, enabling the automatic identification of target modalities. This approach eliminates clutter and mode conversion interference when calculating direct and accompanying acoustic fields in time-domain topological energy(TDTE) imaging.Subsequently, the measured accompanying acoustic field is reversed for adaptive focusing on defects and enhance the imaging quality. To circumvent the limitations of the Rayleigh criterion, the direct acoustic field and the accompanying acoustic field were fused to characterize the pixel distribution in the imaging region, achieving Lamb wave super-resolution imaging. Experimental results indicate that compared to the sign coherence factor-total focusing method(SCF-TFM),the proposed method achieves a 31.41% improvement in lateral resolution and a 29.53% increase in signal-to-noise ratio for single-blind-hole defects. In the case of multiple-blind-hole defects with spacings greater than the Rayleigh criterion resolution limit, it exhibits a 27.23% enhancement in signal-to-noise ratio. On the contrary, when the defect spacings are relatively smaller than the limit, this method has a higher resolution limit than SCF-TFM in super-resolution imaging.展开更多

Ther...As the density of wireless networks increases globally, the vulnerability of overlapped dense wireless communications to interference by hidden nodes and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is becoming more apparent. There exists a gap in research on the detection and response to attacks on Medium Access Control (MAC) mechanisms themselves, which would lead to service outages between nodes. Classifying exploitation and deceptive jamming attacks on control mechanisms is particularly challengingdue to their resemblance to normal heavy communication patterns. Accordingly, this paper proposes a machine learning-based selective attack mitigation model that detects DoS attacks on wireless networks by monitoring packet log data. Based on the type of detected attack, it implements effective corresponding mitigation techniques to restore performance to nodes whose availability has been compromised. Experimental results reveal that the accuracy of the proposed model is 14% higher than that of a baseline anomaly detection model. Further, the appropriate mitigation techniques selected by the proposed system based on the attack type improve the average throughput by more than 440% compared to the case without a response.展开更多

文摘The evaluation of adsorption states and shale gas content in shale fractures and pores relies on the analysis of these fractures and pores.Scanning electron microscopy images are commonly used for shale analysis;however,their low resolution,particularly the loss of high-frequency information at pore edges,presents challenges in analyzing fractures and pores in shale gas reservoirs.This study introduced a novel neural network called the spatial-spectral domain attention network(SSDAN),which employed spatial and spectral domain attention mechanisms to extract features and restore information in parallel.The network generated super-resolution images through a fusion module that included CNN-based spatial blocks for pixel-level image information recovery,spectral blocks to process Fourier transform information of images and enhance high-frequency recovery,and an adaptive vision transformer to process Fourier transform block information,eliminating the need for a preset image size.The SSDAN model demonstrated exceptional performance in comparative experiments on marine shale and marine continental shale datasets,achieving optimal performance on key indicators such as peak signal-to-noise ratio,structural similarity,learned perceptual image patch similarity,and Frechet inception distance while also exhibiting superior visual performance in pore recovery.Ablation experiments further confirmed the effectiveness of the spatial blocks,channel attention,spectral blocks,and frequency loss function in the model.The SSDAN model showed remarkable capability in enhancing the resolution of shale gas reservoir images and restoring high-frequency information at pore edges,thereby validating its effectiveness in unconventional natural gas reservoir analyses.

文摘Infrared imaging technology has been widely adopted in various fields,such as military reconnaissance,medical diagnosis,and security monitoring,due to its excellent ability to penetrate smoke and fog.However,the prevalent low resolution of infrared images severely limits the accurate interpretation of their contents.In addition,deploying super-resolution models on resource-constrained devices faces significant challenges.To address these issues,this study proposes a lightweight super-resolution network for infrared images based on an adaptive attention mechanism.The network’s dynamic weighting module automatically adjusts the weights of the attention and nonattention branch outputs based on the network’s characteristics at different levels.Among them,the attention branch is further subdivided into pixel attention and brightness-texture attention,which are specialized for extracting the most informative features in infrared images.Meanwhile,the non-attention branch supplements the extraction of those neglected features to enhance the comprehensiveness of the features.Through ablation experiments,we verify the effectiveness of the proposed module.Finally,through experiments on two datasets,FLIR and Thermal101,qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that the model can effectively recover high-frequency details of infrared images and significantly improve image resolution.In detail,compared with the suboptimal method,we have reduced the number of parameters by 30%and improved the model performance.When the scale factor is 2,the peak signal-tonoise ratio of the test datasets FLIR and Thermal101 is improved by 0.09 and 0.15 dB,respectively.When the scale factor is 4,it is improved by 0.05 and 0.09 dB,respectively.In addition,due to the lightweight design of the network structure,it has a low computational cost.It is suitable for deployment on edge devices,thus effectively enhancing the sensing performance of infrared imaging devices.

文摘Deep convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have demonstrated remarkable performance in video super-resolution(VSR).However,the ability of most existing methods to recover fine details in complex scenes is often hindered by the loss of shallow texture information during feature extraction.To address this limitation,we propose a 3D Convolutional Enhanced Residual Video Super-Resolution Network(3D-ERVSNet).This network employs a forward and backward bidirectional propagation module(FBBPM)that aligns features across frames using explicit optical flow through lightweight SPyNet.By incorporating an enhanced residual structure(ERS)with skip connections,shallow and deep features are effectively integrated,enhancing texture restoration capabilities.Furthermore,3D convolution module(3DCM)is applied after the backward propagation module to implicitly capture spatio-temporal dependencies.The architecture synergizes these components where FBBPM extracts aligned features,ERS fuses hierarchical representations,and 3DCM refines temporal coherence.Finally,a deep feature aggregation module(DFAM)fuses the processed features,and a pixel-upsampling module(PUM)reconstructs the high-resolution(HR)video frames.Comprehensive evaluations on REDS,Vid4,UDM10,and Vim4 benchmarks demonstrate well performance including 30.95 dB PSNR/0.8822 SSIM on REDS and 32.78 dB/0.8987 on Vim4.3D-ERVSNet achieves significant gains over baselines while maintaining high efficiency with only 6.3M parameters and 77ms/frame runtime(i.e.,20×faster than RBPN).The network’s effectiveness stems from its task-specific asymmetric design that balances explicit alignment and implicit fusion.

文摘Neutron capture event imaging is a novel technique that has the potential to substantially enhance the resolution of existing imaging systems.This study provides a measurement method for neutron capture event distribution along with multiple reconstruction methods for super-resolution imaging.The proposed technology reduces the point-spread function of an imag-ing system through single-neutron detection and event reconstruction,thereby significantly improving imaging resolution.A single-neutron detection experiment was conducted using a highly practical and efficient^(6)LiF-ZnS scintillation screen of a cold neutron imaging device in the research reactor.In milliseconds of exposure time,a large number of weak light clusters and their distribution in the scintillation screen were recorded frame by frame,to complete single-neutron detection.Several reconstruction algorithms were proposed for the calculations.The location of neutron capture was calculated using several processing methods such as noise removal,filtering,spot segmentation,contour analysis,and local positioning.The proposed algorithm achieved a higher imaging resolution and faster reconstruction speed,and single-neutron super-resolution imaging was realized by combining single-neutron detection experiments and reconstruction calculations.The results show that the resolution of the 100μm thick^(6)LiF-ZnS scintillation screen can be improved from 125 to 40 microns.This indicates that the proposed single-neutron detection and calculation method is effective and can significantly improve imaging resolution.

文摘Monitoring the dynamics of cellular pseudopodia at nanoscale has become essential for understanding their diverse and complex functions in living cells.This is made possible by combining single-molecule localization microscopy(SMLM)with self-blinking dyes.However,existing self-blinking dyes often face limitations,such as nonspecific blinking and low photostability,which can bring background noise and yield erroneous localization signals,hindering their effectiveness for nanoscale visualization.Here,we present a method for long-term SMLM imaging of cellular pseudopodia dynamics using a blinkogenic probe that exhibits self-blinking activation upon molecular recognition.This approach enabled the precise tracking of various pseudopodia structures,including filopodia,lamellipodia,and(tunneling nanotubes)-nanoscale(TNTs),in living cells.We monitored the growth and fusion of filopodia,as well as the extension and shrinkage of lamellipodia,in real-time.Additionally,we identified two distinct fusion modes between filopodia and lamellipodia and captured the formation of TNTs and their interactions with filopodia,demonstrating the probe's utility in visualizing real-time pseudopodia dynamics at nanoscale.

文摘This study proposes a new component of the composite loss function minimised during training of the Super-Resolution(SR)algorithms—the normalised structural similarity index loss LSSIMN,which has the potential to improve the natural appearance of reconstructed images.Deep learning-based super-resolution(SR)algorithms reconstruct high-resolution images from low-resolution inputs,offering a practical means to enhance image quality without requiring superior imaging hardware,which is particularly important in medical applications where diagnostic accuracy is critical.Although recent SR methods employing convolutional and generative adversarial networks achieve high pixel fidelity,visual artefacts may persist,making the design of the loss function during training essential for ensuring reliable and naturalistic image reconstruction.Our research shows on two models—SR and Invertible Rescaling Neural Network(IRN)—trained on multiple benchmark datasets that the function LSSIMN significantly contributes to the visual quality,preserving the structural fidelity on the reference datasets.The quantitative analysis of results while incorporating LSSIMN shows that including this loss function component has a mean 2.88%impact on the improvement of the final structural similarity of the reconstructed images in the validation set,in comparison to leaving it out and 0.218%in comparison when this component is non-normalised.

文摘Ultrasonic Lamb waves undergo complex mode conversion and diffraction at non-penetrating defects, such as plate corrosion and cracks. Lamb wave imaging has a resolution limit due to the guided wave dispersion characteristics and Rayleigh criterion limitations. In this paper, a full convolutional network is designed to segment and reconstruct the received signals, enabling the automatic identification of target modalities. This approach eliminates clutter and mode conversion interference when calculating direct and accompanying acoustic fields in time-domain topological energy(TDTE) imaging.Subsequently, the measured accompanying acoustic field is reversed for adaptive focusing on defects and enhance the imaging quality. To circumvent the limitations of the Rayleigh criterion, the direct acoustic field and the accompanying acoustic field were fused to characterize the pixel distribution in the imaging region, achieving Lamb wave super-resolution imaging. Experimental results indicate that compared to the sign coherence factor-total focusing method(SCF-TFM),the proposed method achieves a 31.41% improvement in lateral resolution and a 29.53% increase in signal-to-noise ratio for single-blind-hole defects. In the case of multiple-blind-hole defects with spacings greater than the Rayleigh criterion resolution limit, it exhibits a 27.23% enhancement in signal-to-noise ratio. On the contrary, when the defect spacings are relatively smaller than the limit, this method has a higher resolution limit than SCF-TFM in super-resolution imaging.
文摘The application of image super-resolution(SR)has brought significant assistance in the medical field,aiding doctors to make more precise diagnoses.However,solely relying on a convolutional neural network(CNN)for image SR may lead to issues such as blurry details and excessive smoothness.To address the limitations,we proposed an algorithm based on the generative adversarial network(GAN)framework.In the generator network,three different sizes of convolutions connected by a residual dense structure were used to extract detailed features,and an attention mechanism combined with dual channel and spatial information was applied to concentrate the computing power on crucial areas.In the discriminator network,using InstanceNorm to normalize tensors sped up the training process while retaining feature information.The experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and structural similarity index measure(SSIM)compared to other methods,resulting in an improved visual quality.

文摘As the density of wireless networks increases globally, the vulnerability of overlapped dense wireless communications to interference by hidden nodes and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is becoming more apparent. There exists a gap in research on the detection and response to attacks on Medium Access Control (MAC) mechanisms themselves, which would lead to service outages between nodes. Classifying exploitation and deceptive jamming attacks on control mechanisms is particularly challengingdue to their resemblance to normal heavy communication patterns. Accordingly, this paper proposes a machine learning-based selective attack mitigation model that detects DoS attacks on wireless networks by monitoring packet log data. Based on the type of detected attack, it implements effective corresponding mitigation techniques to restore performance to nodes whose availability has been compromised. Experimental results reveal that the accuracy of the proposed model is 14% higher than that of a baseline anomaly detection model. Further, the appropriate mitigation techniques selected by the proposed system based on the attack type improve the average throughput by more than 440% compared to the case without a response.
文摘Visual question answering(VQA)is a multimodal task,involving a deep understanding of the image scene and the question’s meaning and capturing the relevant correlations between both modalities to infer the appropriate answer.In this paper,we propose a VQA system intended to answer yes/no questions about real-world images,in Arabic.To support a robust VQA system,we work in two directions:(1)Using deep neural networks to semantically represent the given image and question in a fine-grainedmanner,namely ResNet-152 and Gated Recurrent Units(GRU).(2)Studying the role of the utilizedmultimodal bilinear pooling fusion technique in the trade-o.between the model complexity and the overall model performance.Some fusion techniques could significantly increase the model complexity,which seriously limits their applicability for VQA models.So far,there is no evidence of how efficient these multimodal bilinear pooling fusion techniques are for VQA systems dedicated to yes/no questions.Hence,a comparative analysis is conducted between eight bilinear pooling fusion techniques,in terms of their ability to reduce themodel complexity and improve themodel performance in this case of VQA systems.Experiments indicate that these multimodal bilinear pooling fusion techniques have improved the VQA model’s performance,until reaching the best performance of 89.25%.Further,experiments have proven that the number of answers in the developed VQA system is a critical factor that a.ects the effectiveness of these multimodal bilinear pooling techniques in achieving their main objective of reducing the model complexity.The Multimodal Local Perception Bilinear Pooling(MLPB)technique has shown the best balance between the model complexity and its performance,for VQA systems designed to answer yes/no questions.

文摘Frequency modulated continuous wave(FMCW)radar is an advantageous sensor scheme for target estimation and environmental perception.However,existing algorithms based on discrete Fourier transform(DFT),multiple signal classification(MUSIC)and compressed sensing,etc.,cannot achieve both low complexity and high resolution simultaneously.This paper proposes an efficient 2-D MUSIC algorithm for super-resolution target estimation/tracking based on FMCW radar.Firstly,we enhance the efficiency of 2-D MUSIC azimuth-range spectrum estimation by incorporating 2-D DFT and multi-level resolution searching strategy.Secondly,we apply the gradient descent method to tightly integrate the spatial continuity of object motion into spectrum estimation when processing multi-epoch radar data,which improves the efficiency of continuous target tracking.These two approaches have improved the algorithm efficiency by nearly 2-4 orders of magnitude without losing accuracy and resolution.Simulation experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the algorithm in both single-epoch estimation and multi-epoch tracking scenarios.
文摘Super-resolution techniques are employed to enhance image resolution by reconstructing high-resolution images from one or more low-resolution inputs.Super-resolution is of paramount importance in the context of remote sensing,satellite,aerial,security and surveillance imaging.Super-resolution remote sensing imagery is essential for surveillance and security purposes,enabling authorities to monitor remote or sensitive areas with greater clarity.This study introduces a single-image super-resolution approach for remote sensing images,utilizing deep shearlet residual learning in the shearlet transform domain,and incorporating the Enhanced Deep Super-Resolution network(EDSR).Unlike conventional approaches that estimate residuals between high and low-resolution images,the proposed approach calculates the shearlet coefficients for the desired high-resolution image using the provided low-resolution image instead of estimating a residual image between the high-and low-resolution image.The shearlet transform is chosen for its excellent sparse approximation capabilities.Initially,remote sensing images are transformed into the shearlet domain,which divides the input image into low and high frequencies.The shearlet coefficients are fed into the EDSR network.The high-resolution image is subsequently reconstructed using the inverse shearlet transform.The incorporation of the EDSR network enhances training stability,leading to improved generated images.The experimental results from the Deep Shearlet Residual Learning approach demonstrate its superior performance in remote sensing image recovery,effectively restoring both global topology and local edge detail information,thereby enhancing image quality.Compared to other networks,our proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of image quality,achieving an average peak signal-to-noise ratio of 35 and a structural similarity index measure of approximately 0.9.

文摘At present,super-resolution algorithms are employed to tackle the challenge of low image resolution,but it is difficult to extract differentiated feature details based on various inputs,resulting in poor generalization ability.Given this situation,this study first analyzes the features of some feature extraction modules of the current super-resolution algorithm and then proposes an adaptive feature fusion block(AFB)for feature extraction.This module mainly comprises dynamic convolution,attention mechanism,and pixel-based gating mechanism.Combined with dynamic convolution with scale information,the network can extract more differentiated feature information.The introduction of a channel spatial attention mechanism combined with multi-feature fusion further enables the network to retain more important feature information.Dynamic convolution and pixel-based gating mechanisms enhance the module’s adaptability.Finally,a comparative experiment of a super-resolution algorithm based on the AFB module is designed to substantiate the efficiency of the AFB module.The results revealed that the network combined with the AFB module has stronger generalization ability and expression ability.
