文摘Images taken in dim environments frequently exhibit issues like insufficient brightness,noise,color shifts,and loss of detail.These problems pose significant challenges to dark image enhancement tasks.Current approaches,while effective in global illumination modeling,often struggle to simultaneously suppress noise and preserve structural details,especially under heterogeneous lighting.Furthermore,misalignment between luminance and color channels introduces additional challenges to accurate enhancement.In response to the aforementioned difficulties,we introduce a single-stage framework,M2ATNet,using the multi-scale multi-attention and Transformer architecture.First,to address the problems of texture blurring and residual noise,we design a multi-scale multi-attention denoising module(MMAD),which is applied separately to the luminance and color channels to enhance the structural and texture modeling capabilities.Secondly,to solve the non-alignment problem of the luminance and color channels,we introduce the multi-channel feature fusion Transformer(CFFT)module,which effectively recovers the dark details and corrects the color shifts through cross-channel alignment and deep feature interaction.To guide the model to learn more stably and efficiently,we also fuse multiple types of loss functions to form a hybrid loss term.We extensively evaluate the proposed method on various standard datasets,including LOL-v1,LOL-v2,DICM,LIME,and NPE.Evaluation in terms of numerical metrics and visual quality demonstrate that M2ATNet consistently outperforms existing advanced approaches.Ablation studies further confirm the critical roles played by the MMAD and CFFT modules to detail preservation and visual fidelity under challenging illumination-deficient environments.

文摘Lateral movement represents the most covert and critical phase of Advanced Persistent Threats(APTs),and its detection still faces two primary challenges:sample scarcity and“cold start”of new entities.To address these challenges,we propose an Uncertainty-Driven Graph Embedding-Enhanced Lateral Movement Detection framework(UGEA-LMD).First,the framework employs event-level incremental encoding on a continuous-time graph to capture fine-grained behavioral evolution,enabling newly appearing nodes to retain temporal contextual awareness even in the absence of historical interactions and thereby fundamentally mitigating the cold-start problem.Second,in the embedding space,we model the dependency structure among feature dimensions using a Gaussian copula to quantify the uncertainty distribution,and generate augmented samples with consistent structural and semantic properties through adaptive sampling,thus expanding the representation space of sparse samples and enhancing the model’s generalization under sparse sample conditions.Unlike static graph methods that cannot model temporal dependencies or data augmentation techniques that depend on predefined structures,UGEA-LMD offers both superior temporaldynamic modeling and structural generalization.Experimental results on the large-scale LANL log dataset demonstrate that,under the transductive setting,UGEA-LMD achieves an AUC of 0.9254;even when 10%of nodes or edges are withheld during training,UGEA-LMD significantly outperforms baseline methods on metrics such as recall and AUC,confirming its robustness and generalization capability in sparse-sample and cold-start scenarios.

文摘The enhancement of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA)is critical for the continuous growth of magnetic memory density.Material systems that possess high interfacial PMA typically involve strong spin-orbit coupling(SOC)or transition metal/oxide interfaces.In contrast,the role of 3d light metals in enhancing the interfacial PMA has been less investigated.This study demonstrated that the insertion of a few atomic Cr layers into Pt/Co/Pt/Ta heterostructures with Cr between the 1 atomic Pt layer and the 3 nm Ta overlayer enhanced the effective PMA energy(K_(eff))by a factor of 4.First-principles calculations revealed that the underlying mechanism originated from Cr-Pt d-orbital hybridization,leading to a corresponding orbital redistribution and significantly increasing the magnetic anisotropy energy.The progressive reduction in the spin-orbit torque(SOT)efficiency with increasing Cr thickness might stem from the enhanced orbital Rashba–Edelstein effect at the Pt/Cr interface.Furthermore,the wedging of a few atomic Cr layers caused the robust field-free SOT switching of perpendicular magnetization,which was due to the lateral PMA gradients enabled by the strong dependence of the PMA on the Cr thickness.The results provide a method for interfacial PMA enhancement by d-orbital hybridization of 3d–5d electrons and an alternative to field-free SOT switching towards low-power and high-density memory applications.

文摘Underwater images frequently suffer from chromatic distortion,blurred details,and low contrast,posing significant challenges for enhancement.This paper introduces AquaTree,a novel underwater image enhancement(UIE)method that reformulates the task as a Markov Decision Process(MDP)through the integration of Monte Carlo Tree Search(MCTS)and deep reinforcement learning(DRL).The framework employs an action space of 25 enhancement operators,strategically grouped for basic attribute adjustment,color component balance,correction,and deblurring.Exploration within MCTS is guided by a dual-branch convolutional network,enabling intelligent sequential operator selection.Our core contributions include:(1)a multimodal state representation combining CIELab color histograms with deep perceptual features,(2)a dual-objective reward mechanism optimizing chromatic fidelity and perceptual consistency,and(3)an alternating training strategy co-optimizing enhancement sequences and network parameters.We further propose two inference schemes:an MCTS-based approach prioritizing accuracy at higher computational cost,and an efficient network policy enabling real-time processing with minimal quality loss.Comprehensive evaluations on the UIEB Dataset and Color correction and haze removal comparisons on the U45 Dataset demonstrate AquaTree’s superiority,significantly outperforming nine state-of-the-art methods across five established underwater image quality metrics.

文摘MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)catalysts for the low-temperature selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO remain vulnerable to water and sulfur poisoning,limting their practical applications.Herein,we report a hydrophobic-modified MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)catalyst that achieves enhanced NO conversion rate and stability under harsh conditions.The catalyst was synthesized by decorating MnOx crystals with amorphous CeO_(2),followed by loading hydrophobic silica on the external surfaces.The hydrophobic silica allowed the adsorption of NH_(3)and NO and diffusion of H,suppressed the adsorption of H_(2)O,and prevented SO_(2)interaction with the Mn active sites,achieving selective molecular discrimination at the catalyst surface.At 120℃,under H_(2)O and SO_(2)exposure,the optimal hydrophobic catalyst maintains 82%NO conversion rate compared with 69%for the unmodified catalyst.The average adsorption energies of NH_(3),H_(2)O,and SO_(2)decreased by 0.05,0.43,and 0.52 eV,respectively.The NO reduction pathway follows the Eley-Rideal mechanism,NH_(3)^(*)+*→NH_(2)^(*)+H^(*)followed by NH_(2)^(*)+NO^(*)→N_(2)^(*)+H_(2)O^(*),with NH_(3)dehydrogenation being the rate determining step.Hydrophobic modification increased the activation energy for H atom transfer,leading to a minor decrease in the NO conversion rate at 120℃.This work demonstrates a viable strategy for developing robust NH_(3)-S CR catalysts capable of efficient operation in water-and sulfur-rich environments.

文摘The unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)images captured under low-light conditions are often suffering from noise and uneven illumination.To address these issues,we propose a low-light image enhancement algorithm for UAV images,which is inspired by the Retinex theory and guided by a light weighted map.Firstly,we propose a new network for reflectance component processing to suppress the noise in images.Secondly,we construct an illumination enhancement module that uses a light weighted map to guide the enhancement process.Finally,the processed reflectance and illumination components are recombined to obtain the enhancement results.Experimental results show that our method can suppress the noise in images while enhancing image brightness,and prevent over enhancement in bright regions.Code and data are available at https://gitee.com/baixiaotong2/uav-images.git.

文摘Underwater images are inherently degraded by color distortion,contrast reduction,and uneven brightness,primarily due to light absorption and scattering in water.To mitigate these challenges,a novel enhancement approach is proposed,integrating Local Adaptive Color Correction(LACC)with contrast enhancement based on adaptive Rayleigh distribution stretching and CLAHE(LACC-RCE).Conventional color correction methods predominantly employ global adjustment strategies,which are often inadequate for handling spatially varying color distortions.In contrast,the proposed LACC method incorporates local color analysis,tone-weighted control,and spatially adaptive adjustments,allowing for region-specific color correction.This approach effectively enhances color fidelity and perceptual naturalness,addressing the limitations of global correction techniques.For contrast enhancement,the proposed method leverages the global mapping characteristics of the Rayleigh distribution to improve overall contrast,while CLAHE is employed to adaptively enhance local regions.A weighted fusion strategy is then applied to synthesize high-quality underwater images.Experimental results indicate that LACC-RCE surpasses conventional methods in color restoration,contrast optimization,and detail preservation,thereby enhancing the visual quality of underwater images.This improvement facilitates more reliable inputs for underwater object detection and recognition tasks.

文摘In this paper,we propose a symmetric difference data enhancement physics-informed neural network(SDE-PINN)to study soliton solutions for discrete nonlinear lattice equations(NLEs).By considering known and unknown symmetric points,numerical simulations are conducted to one-soliton and two-soliton solutions of a discrete KdV equation,as well as a one-soliton solution of a discrete Toda lattice equation.Compared with the existing discrete deep learning approach,the numerical results reveal that within the specified spatiotemporal domain,the prediction accuracy by SDE-PINN is excellent regardless of the interior or extrapolation prediction,with a significant reduction in training time.The proposed data enhancement technique and symmetric structure development provides a new perspective for the deep learning approach to solve discrete NLEs.The newly proposed SDE-PINN can also be applied to solve continuous nonlinear equations and other discrete NLEs numerically.
文摘Single-photon sensors are novel devices with extremely high single-photon sensitivity and temporal resolution.However,these advantages also make them highly susceptible to noise.Moreover,single-photon cameras face severe quantization as low as 1 bit/frame.These factors make it a daunting task to recover high-quality scene information from noisy single-photon data.Most current image reconstruction methods for single-photon data are mathematical approaches,which limits information utilization and algorithm performance.In this work,we propose a hybrid information enhancement model which can significantly enhance the efficiency of information utilization by leveraging attention mechanisms from both spatial and channel branches.Furthermore,we introduce a structural feature enhance module for the FFN of the transformer,which explicitly improves the model's ability to extract and enhance high-frequency structural information through two symmetric convolution branches.Additionally,we propose a single-photon data simulation pipeline based on RAW images to address the challenge of the lack of single-photon datasets.Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in various noise levels and exhibits a more efficient capability for recovering high-frequency structures and extracting information.
