Here, we present a novel near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 900–1880nm) fluorescence volumetric microscopic imaging method that combines an electrically tunable lens (ETL) with deep learning approaches for rapid 3D imaging. The technology achieves volumetric imaging at 4.2 frames per second (fps) across a 200 μm depth range in live mouse brain vasculature. Two specialized neural networks are utilized: a scale-recurrent network (SRN) for image enhancement and a cerebral vessel interpolation (CVI) network that enables 16-fold axial upsampling. The SRN, trained on two-photon fluorescence microscopic data, improves both lateral and axial resolution of NIR-II fluorescence wide-field microscopic images. The CVI network, adapted from video interpolation techniques, generates intermediate frames between acquired axial planes, resulting in smooth and continuous 3D vessel reconstructions. Using this integrated system, we visualize and quantify blood flow dynamics in individual vessels and are capable of measuring blood velocity at different depths. This approach maintains high lateral resolution while achieving rapid volumetric imaging, and is particularly suitable for studying dynamic vascular processes in deep tissue. Our method demonstrates the potential of combining optical engineering with artificial intelligence to advance biological imaging capabilities.展开更多

The new condensed overlapped matrices are then designed to shorten and optimize encoding of the overlapped patterns, which are shown to be much superior to the random matrices. In addition, we apply deep learning to image the target, and use the signal acquired by the bucket detector and corresponding real image to train the neural network. Detailed comparisons show that our new method can improve the imaging speed by as much as an order of magnitude, and improve the image quality as well.展开更多

文摘Purpose:To assess the clinical efficacy of integrating deep learning reconstruction(DLR)with contrast-enhancement-boost(CE-boost)in 80 kVp head and neck CT angiography(CTA)using substantially lowered radiation and contrast medium(CM)doses,compared to the standard 100 kVp protocol using hybrid iterative reconstruction(HIR).Methods:Sixty-six patients were prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to one of two groups:the low-dose group(n=33),receiving 80 kVp and 28 mL contrast medium(CM)with a noise index(NI)of 15;and the regular-dose group(n=33),receiving 100 kVp and 40 mL CM with an NI of 10.For the lowdose group,images underwent reconstruction using both hybrid iterative reconstruction(HIR)and deep learning reconstruction(DLR)at mild-,standard-,and strong-strength levels,both before and after combination with contrast enhancement-boost(CE-boost).This generated eight distinct datasets:L-HIR,L-DLR_(mild),L-DLR_(standard),L-DLR_(strong),L-HIR-CE,L-DLR_(mild)-CE,L-DLR_(standard)-CE,and L-DLR_(strong)-CE.Images for the regular-dose group were reconstructed solely with HIR(R-HIR).Quantitative analysis involved calculating and comparing CT attenuation,image noise,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)within six key vessels:the aortic arch(AA),internal carotid artery(ICA),external carotid artery(ECA),vertebral arteries(VA),basilar artery(BA),and middle cerebral artery(MCA).Two radiologists independently assessed subjective image quality using a 5-point scale,with statistical significance defined as P<0.05.Results:Compared to the regular-dose group,the low-dose protocol achieved a substantial reduction in contrast media volume(28 mL versus 40 mL,a 30%decrease)and radiation exposure((0.41±0.08)mSv versus(1.18±0.12)mSv,a 65%reduction).Both L-DLR_(standard) and L-DLR_(strong) delivered comparable or superior SNR and CNR across all vascular segments relative to R-HIR.However,subjective image quality scores for L-DLR at all strength levels fell below those for R-HIR(all P<0.05 for both readers).Combining CE-boost with the low-dose protocol significantly enhanced the objective image performance of L-DLR_(strong)-CE(all P<0.05)and produced subjective image scores comparable to R-HIR(reader 1:P=0.15;reader 2:P=0.06).Conclusion:When compared to the standard 100 kVp head and neck CTA,the combination of the DLR and CE-boost techniques at 80 kVp can achieve a 30%reduction in contrast dose and a 65%reduction in radiation dose,while maintaining both objective and subjective image quality.

文摘Objective To compare the impact of different reconstruction algorithms on the image quality of 60 kVp head and neck CT angiography(CTA)using subjective and objective metrics,with a focus on vessel edge sharpness.Methods This prospective study enrolled 45 patients who underwent ultra-low-voltage(60 kVp)head and neck CTA.Image datasets were reconstructed with filtered back-projection(FBP),ClearView(CV)and ClearInfinity(CI)algorithms at low(30%),medium(50%),and high(70%)strengths.Image quality was assessed subjectively and objectively via the Kruskal‒Wallis test for multiple comparisons.Objective parameters,including edge rise slope(ERS)and edge rise distance(ERD),were analyzed via the Friedman test of multiple comparisons statistics.Results Subjective assessments favored the CI50 reconstruction algorithm,demonstrating superior or satisfactory results compared to the other algorithms,with significantly better vessel delineation,edge definition and diagnostic confidence(all P<0.05).Objective analysis revealed that the CV50 and CV70 algorithms significantly reduced ERS and/or elevated ERD(both P<0.05).However,the CI50 algorithm maintained comparable vessel edge sharpness(P>0.05)across all evaluated head and neck vascular segments when compared with the FBP algorithm.Conclusions The CI50 reconstruction algorithm optimizes image quality in 60 kVp head and neck CTA.It provides vessel edge sharpness comparable to FBP while offering superior vessel delineation,edge definition,and diagnostic confidence compared to FBP and CV algorithm.These findings suggest that CI50 has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy in low-dose vascular imaging.

文摘With increasingly more smart cameras deployed in infrastructure and commercial buildings,3D reconstruction can quickly obtain cities’information and improve the efficiency of government services.Images collected in outdoor hazy environments are prone to color distortion and low contrast;thus,the desired visual effect cannot be achieved and the difficulty of target detection is increased.Artificial intelligence(AI)solutions provide great help for dehazy images,which can automatically identify patterns or monitor the environment.Therefore,we propose a 3D reconstruction method of dehazed images for smart cities based on deep learning.First,we propose a fine transmission image deep convolutional regression network(FT-DCRN)dehazing algorithm that uses fine transmission image and atmospheric light value to compute dehazed image.The DCRN is used to obtain the coarse transmission image,which can not only expand the receptive field of the network but also retain the features to maintain the nonlinearity of the overall network.The fine transmission image is obtained by refining the coarse transmission image using a guided filter.The atmospheric light value is estimated according to the position and brightness of the pixels in the original hazy image.Second,we use the dehazed images generated by the FT-DCRN dehazing algorithm for 3D reconstruction.An advanced relaxed iterative fine matching based on the structure from motion(ARI-SFM)algorithm is proposed.The ARISFM algorithm,which obtains the fine matching corner pairs and reduces the number of iterations,establishes an accurate one-to-one matching corner relationship.The experimental results show that our FT-DCRN dehazing algorithm improves the accuracy compared to other representative algorithms.In addition,the ARI-SFM algorithm guarantees the precision and improves the efficiency.

文摘Every day,websites and personal archives create more and more photos.The size of these archives is immeasurable.The comfort of use of these huge digital image gatherings donates to their admiration.However,not all of these folders deliver relevant indexing information.From the outcomes,it is dif-ficult to discover data that the user can be absorbed in.Therefore,in order to determine the significance of the data,it is important to identify the contents in an informative manner.Image annotation can be one of the greatest problematic domains in multimedia research and computer vision.Hence,in this paper,Adap-tive Convolutional Deep Learning Model(ACDLM)is developed for automatic image annotation.Initially,the databases are collected from the open-source system which consists of some labelled images(for training phase)and some unlabeled images{Corel 5 K,MSRC v2}.After that,the images are sent to the pre-processing step such as colour space quantization and texture color class map.The pre-processed images are sent to the segmentation approach for efficient labelling technique using J-image segmentation(JSEG).Thefinal step is an auto-matic annotation using ACDLM which is a combination of Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and Honey Badger Algorithm(HBA).Based on the proposed classifier,the unlabeled images are labelled.The proposed methodology is imple-mented in MATLAB and performance is evaluated by performance metrics such as accuracy,precision,recall and F1_Measure.With the assistance of the pro-posed methodology,the unlabeled images are labelled.
文摘The use of massive image databases has increased drastically over the few years due to evolution of multimedia technology.Image retrieval has become one of the vital tools in image processing applications.Content-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR)has been widely used in varied applications.But,the results produced by the usage of a single image feature are not satisfactory.So,multiple image features are used very often for attaining better results.But,fast and effective searching for relevant images from a database becomes a challenging task.In the previous existing system,the CBIR has used the combined feature extraction technique using color auto-correlogram,Rotation-Invariant Uniform Local Binary Patterns(RULBP)and local energy.However,the existing system does not provide significant results in terms of recall and precision.Also,the computational complexity is higher for the existing CBIR systems.In order to handle the above mentioned issues,the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM)with Deep Learning based Enhanced Convolution Neural Network(DLECNN)is proposed in this work.The proposed system framework includes noise reduction using histogram equalization,feature extraction using GLCM,similarity matching computation using Hierarchal and Fuzzy c-Means(HFCM)algorithm and the image retrieval using DLECNN algorithm.The histogram equalization has been used for computing the image enhancement.This enhanced image has a uniform histogram.Then,the GLCM method has been used to extract the features such as shape,texture,colour,annotations and keywords.The HFCM similarity measure is used for computing the query image vector's similarity index with every database images.For enhancing the performance of this image retrieval approach,the DLECNN algorithm is proposed to retrieve more accurate features of the image.The proposed GLCM+DLECNN algorithm provides better results associated with high accuracy,precision,recall,f-measure and lesser complexity.From the experimental results,it is clearly observed that the proposed system provides efficient image retrieval for the given query image.

文摘Three-dimensional (3D) visualization of dynamic biological processes in deep tissue remains challenging due to the trade-off between temporal resolution and imaging depth. Here, we present a novel near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 900–1880nm) fluorescence volumetric microscopic imaging method that combines an electrically tunable lens (ETL) with deep learning approaches for rapid 3D imaging. The technology achieves volumetric imaging at 4.2 frames per second (fps) across a 200 μm depth range in live mouse brain vasculature. Two specialized neural networks are utilized: a scale-recurrent network (SRN) for image enhancement and a cerebral vessel interpolation (CVI) network that enables 16-fold axial upsampling. The SRN, trained on two-photon fluorescence microscopic data, improves both lateral and axial resolution of NIR-II fluorescence wide-field microscopic images. The CVI network, adapted from video interpolation techniques, generates intermediate frames between acquired axial planes, resulting in smooth and continuous 3D vessel reconstructions. Using this integrated system, we visualize and quantify blood flow dynamics in individual vessels and are capable of measuring blood velocity at different depths. This approach maintains high lateral resolution while achieving rapid volumetric imaging, and is particularly suitable for studying dynamic vascular processes in deep tissue. Our method demonstrates the potential of combining optical engineering with artificial intelligence to advance biological imaging capabilities.

文摘The Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager(AGRI)is a mission-critical instrument for the Fengyun series of satellites.AGRI acquires full-disk images every 15 min and views East Asia every 5 min through 14 spectral bands,enabling the detection of highly variable aerosol optical depth(AOD).Quantitative retrieval of AOD has hitherto been challenging,especially over land.In this study,an AOD retrieval algorithm is proposed that combines deep learning and transfer learning.The algorithm uses core concepts from both the Dark Target(DT)and Deep Blue(DB)algorithms to select features for the machinelearning(ML)algorithm,allowing for AOD retrieval at 550 nm over both dark and bright surfaces.The algorithm consists of two steps:①A baseline deep neural network(DNN)with skip connections is developed using 10 min Advanced Himawari Imager(AHI)AODs as the target variable,and②sunphotometer AODs from 89 ground-based stations are used to fine-tune the DNN parameters.Out-of-station validation shows that the retrieved AOD attains high accuracy,characterized by a coefficient of determination(R2)of 0.70,a mean bias error(MBE)of 0.03,and a percentage of data within the expected error(EE)of 70.7%.A sensitivity study reveals that the top-of-atmosphere reflectance at 650 and 470 nm,as well as the surface reflectance at 650 nm,are the two largest sources of uncertainty impacting the retrieval.In a case study of monitoring an extreme aerosol event,the AGRI AOD is found to be able to capture the detailed temporal evolution of the event.This work demonstrates the superiority of the transfer-learning technique in satellite AOD retrievals and the applicability of the retrieved AGRI AOD in monitoring extreme pollution events.

文摘Deep learning(DL)has shown unprecedented performance for many image analysis and image enhancement tasks.Yet,solving large-scale inverse problems like tomographic reconstruction remains challenging for DL.These problems involve non-local and space-variant integral transforms between the input and output domains,for which no efficient neural network models are readily available.A prior attempt to solve tomographic reconstruction problems with supervised learning relied on a brute-force fully connected network and only allowed reconstruction with a 128^(4)system matrix size.This cannot practically scale to realistic data sizes such as 512^(4)and 512^(6)for three-dimensional datasets.Here we present a novel framework to solve such problems with DL by casting the original problem as a continuum of intermediate representations between the input and output domains.The original problem is broken down into a sequence of simpler transformations that can be well mapped onto an efficient hierarchical network architecture,with exponentially fewer parameters than a fully connected network would need.We applied the approach to computed tomography(CT)image reconstruction for a 5124 system matrix size.This work introduces a new kind of data-driven DL solver for full-size CT reconstruction without relying on the structure of direct(analytical)or iterative(numerical)inversion techniques.This work presents a feasibility demonstration of full-scale learnt reconstruction,whereas more developments will be needed to demonstrate superiority relative to traditional reconstruction approaches.The proposed approach is also extendable to other imaging problems such as emission and magnetic resonance reconstruction.More broadly,hierarchical DL opens the door to a new class of solvers for general inverse problems,which could potentially lead to improved signal-to-noise ratio,spatial resolution and computational efficiency in various areas.
文摘AIM:To establish pupil diameter measurement algorithms based on infrared images that can be used in real-world clinical settings.METHODS:A total of 188 patients from outpatient clinic at He Eye Specialist Shenyang Hospital from Spetember to December 2022 were included,and 13470 infrared pupil images were collected for the study.All infrared images for pupil segmentation were labeled using the Labelme software.The computation of pupil diameter is divided into four steps:image pre-processing,pupil identification and localization,pupil segmentation,and diameter calculation.Two major models are used in the computation process:the modified YoloV3 and Deeplabv 3+models,which must be trained beforehand.RESULTS:The test dataset included 1348 infrared pupil images.On the test dataset,the modified YoloV3 model had a detection rate of 99.98% and an average precision(AP)of 0.80 for pupils.The DeeplabV3+model achieved a background intersection over union(IOU)of 99.23%,a pupil IOU of 93.81%,and a mean IOU of 96.52%.The pupil diameters in the test dataset ranged from 20 to 56 pixels,with a mean of 36.06±6.85 pixels.The absolute error in pupil diameters between predicted and actual values ranged from 0 to 7 pixels,with a mean absolute error(MAE)of 1.06±0.96 pixels.CONCLUSION:This study successfully demonstrates a robust infrared image-based pupil diameter measurement algorithm,proven to be highly accurate and reliable for clinical application.

文摘Hyperspectral remote sensing/imaging spectroscopy is a novel approach to reaching a spectrum from all the places of a huge array of spatial places so that several spectral wavelengths are utilized for making coherent images.Hyperspectral remote sensing contains acquisition of digital images from several narrow,contiguous spectral bands throughout the visible,Thermal Infrared(TIR),Near Infrared(NIR),and Mid-Infrared(MIR)regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.In order to the application of agricultural regions,remote sensing approaches are studied and executed to their benefit of continuous and quantitativemonitoring.Particularly,hyperspectral images(HSI)are considered the precise for agriculture as they can offer chemical and physical data on vegetation.With this motivation,this article presents a novel Hurricane Optimization Algorithm with Deep Transfer Learning Driven Crop Classification(HOADTL-CC)model onHyperspectralRemote Sensing Images.The presentedHOADTL-CC model focuses on the identification and categorization of crops on hyperspectral remote sensing images.To accomplish this,the presentedHOADTL-CC model involves the design ofHOAwith capsule network(CapsNet)model for generating a set of useful feature vectors.Besides,Elman neural network(ENN)model is applied to allot proper class labels into the input HSI.Finally,glowworm swarm optimization(GSO)algorithm is exploited to fine tune the ENNparameters involved in this article.The experimental result scrutiny of the HOADTL-CC method can be tested with the help of benchmark dataset and the results are assessed under distinct aspects.Extensive comparative studies stated the enhanced performance of the HOADTL-CC model over recent approaches with maximum accuracy of 99.51%.

文摘We report an overlapping sampling scheme to accelerate computational ghost imaging for imaging moving targets,based on reordering a set of Hadamard modulation matrices by means of a heuristic algorithm. The new condensed overlapped matrices are then designed to shorten and optimize encoding of the overlapped patterns, which are shown to be much superior to the random matrices. In addition, we apply deep learning to image the target, and use the signal acquired by the bucket detector and corresponding real image to train the neural network. Detailed comparisons show that our new method can improve the imaging speed by as much as an order of magnitude, and improve the image quality as well.
文摘Now a days,Remote Sensing(RS)techniques are used for earth observation and for detection of soil types with high accuracy and better reliability.This technique provides perspective view of spatial resolution and aids in instantaneous measurement of soil’s minerals and its characteristics.There are a few challenges that is present in soil classification using image enhancement such as,locating and plotting soil boundaries,slopes,hazardous areas,drainage condition,land use,vegetation etc.There are some traditional approaches which involves few drawbacks such as,manual involvement which results in inaccuracy due to human interference,time consuming,inconsistent prediction etc.To overcome these draw backs and to improve the predictive analysis of soil characteristics,we propose a Hybrid Deep Learning improved BAT optimization algorithm(HDIB)for soil classification using remote sensing hyperspectral features.In HDIB,we propose a spontaneous BAT optimization algorithm for feature extraction of both spectral-spatial features by choosing pure pixels from the Hyper Spectral(HS)image.Spectral-spatial vector as training illustrations is attained by merging spatial and spectral vector by means of priority stacking methodology.Then,a recurring Deep Learning(DL)Neural Network(NN)is used for classifying the HS images,considering the datasets of Pavia University,Salinas and Tamil Nadu Hill Scene,which in turn improves the reliability of classification.Finally,the performance of the proposed HDIB based soil classifier is compared and analyzed with existing methodologies like Single Layer Perceptron(SLP),Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)and Deep Metric Learning(DML)and it shows an improved classification accuracy of 99.87%,98.34%and 99.9%for Tamil Nadu Hills dataset,Pavia University and Salinas scene datasets respectively.

文摘4-Dimensional cone-beam computed tomography(4D-CBCT)offers several key advantages over conventional 3DCBCT in moving target localization/delineation,structure de-blurring,target motion tracking,treatment dose accumulation and adaptive radiation therapy.However,the use of the 4D-CBCT in current radiation therapy practices has been limited,mostly due to its sub-optimal image quality from limited angular sampling of conebeam projections.In this study,we summarized the recent developments of 4D-CBCT reconstruction techniques for image quality improvement,and introduced our developments of a new 4D-CBCT reconstruction technique which features simultaneous motion estimation and image reconstruction(SMEIR).Based on the original SMEIR scheme,biomechanical modeling-guided SMEIR(SMEIR-Bio)was introduced to further improve the reconstruction accuracy of fine details in lung 4D-CBCTs.To improve the efficiency of reconstruction,we recently developed a U-net-based deformation-vector-field(DVF)optimization technique to leverage a population-based deep learning scheme to improve the accuracy of intra-lung DVFs(SMEIR-Unet),without explicit biomechanical modeling.Details of each of the SMEIR,SMEIR-Bio and SMEIR-Unet techniques were included in this study,along with the corresponding results comparing the reconstruction accuracy in terms of CBCT images and the DVFs.We also discussed the application prospects of the SMEIR-type techniques in image-guided radiation therapy and adaptive radiation therapy,and presented potential schemes on future developments to achieve faster and more accurate 4D-CBCT imaging.
文摘Computed tomography(CT)has seen a rapid increase in use in recent years.Radiation from CT accounts for a significant proportion of total medical radiation.However,given the known harmful impact of radiation exposure to the human body,the excessive use of CT in medical environments raises concerns.Concerns over increasing CT use and its associated radiation burden have prompted efforts to reduce radiation dose during the procedure.Therefore,low-dose CT has attracted major attention in the radiology,since CT-associated x-ray radiation carries health risks for patients.The reduction of the CT radiation dose,however,compromises the signal-to-noise ratio,which affects image quality and diagnostic performance.Therefore,several denoising methods have been developed and applied to image processing technologies with the goal of reducing image noise.Recently,deep learning applications that improve image quality by reducing the noise and artifacts have become commercially available for diagnostic imaging.Deep learning image reconstruction shows great potential as an advanced reconstruction method to improve the quality of clinical CT images.These improvements can provide significant benefit to patients regardless of their disease,and further advances are expected in the near future.
