Nevertheless, the reliability of cloud servers as third-party providers is not always guaranteed. To safeguard against the exposure and misuse of personal privacy information, and achieve secure and efficient retrieval, a secure medical image retrieval based on a multi-attention mechanism and triplet deep hashing is proposed in this paper (abbreviated as MATDH). Specifically, this method first utilizes the contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization method applicable to color images to enhance chest X-ray images. Next, a designed multi-attention mechanism focuses on important local features during the feature extraction stage. Moreover, a triplet loss function is utilized to learn discriminative hash codes to construct a compact and efficient triplet deep hashing. Finally, upsampling is used to restore the original resolution of the images during retrieval, thereby enabling more accurate matching. To ensure the security of medical image data, a lightweight image encryption method based on frequency domain encryption is designed to encrypt the chest X-ray images. The findings of the experiment indicate that, in comparison to various advanced image retrieval techniques, the suggested approach improves the precision of feature extraction and retrieval using the COVIDx dataset. Additionally, it offers enhanced protection for the confidentiality of medical images stored in cloud settings and demonstrates strong practicality.展开更多

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High-resolution remote sensing images(HRSIs)are now an essential data source for gathering surface information due to advancements in remote sensing data capture technologies.However,their significant scale changes and wealth of spatial details pose challenges for semantic segmentation.While convolutional neural networks(CNNs)excel at capturing local features,they are limited in modeling long-range dependencies.Conversely,transformers utilize multihead self-attention to integrate global context effectively,but this approach often incurs a high computational cost.This paper proposes a global-local multiscale context network(GLMCNet)to extract both global and local multiscale contextual information from HRSIs.A detail-enhanced filtering module(DEFM)is proposed at the end of the encoder to refine the encoder outputs further,thereby enhancing the key details extracted by the encoder and effectively suppressing redundant information.In addition,a global-local multiscale transformer block(GLMTB)is proposed in the decoding stage to enable the modeling of rich multiscale global and local information.We also design a stair fusion mechanism to transmit deep semantic information from deep to shallow layers progressively.Finally,we propose the semantic awareness enhancement module(SAEM),which further enhances the representation of multiscale semantic features through spatial attention and covariance channel attention.Extensive ablation analyses and comparative experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.Specifically,our method achieved a mean Intersection over Union(mIoU)of 86.89%on the ISPRS Potsdam dataset and 84.34%on the ISPRS Vaihingen dataset,outperforming existing models such as ABCNet and BANet.

文摘Reversible data hiding(RDH)enables secret data embedding while preserving complete cover image recovery,making it crucial for applications requiring image integrity.The pixel value ordering(PVO)technique used in multi-stego images provides good image quality but often results in low embedding capability.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a high-capacity RDH scheme based on PVO that generates three stego images from a single cover image.The cover image is partitioned into non-overlapping blocks with pixels sorted in ascending order.Four secret bits are embedded into each block’s maximum pixel value,while three additional bits are embedded into the second-largest value when the pixel difference exceeds a predefined threshold.A similar embedding strategy is also applied to the minimum side of the block,including the second-smallest pixel value.This design enables each block to embed up to 14 bits of secret data.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significantly higher embedding capacity and improved visual quality compared to existing triple-stego RDH approaches,advancing the field of reversible steganography.
文摘Colorectal cancer(CRC)with lung oligometastases,particularly in the presence of extrapulmonary disease,poses considerable therapeutic challenges in clinical practice.We have carefully studied the multicenter study by Hu et al,which evaluated the survival outcomes of patients with metastatic CRC who received image-guided thermal ablation(IGTA).These findings provide valuable clinical evidence supporting IGTA as a feasible,minimally invasive approach and underscore the prognostic significance of metastatic distribution.However,the study by Hu et al has several limitations,including that not all pulmonary lesions were pathologically confirmed,postoperative follow-up mainly relied on dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography,no comparative analysis was performed with other local treatments,and the impact of other imaging features on efficacy and prognosis was not evaluated.Future studies should include complete pathological confirmation,integrate functional imaging and radiomics,and use prospective multicenter collaboration to optimize patient selection standards for IGTA treatment,strengthen its clinical evidence base,and ultimately promote individualized decision-making for patients with metastatic CRC.

文摘Alzheimer’s Disease(AD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly affects cognitive function,making early and accurate diagnosis essential.Traditional Deep Learning(DL)-based approaches often struggle with low-contrast MRI images,class imbalance,and suboptimal feature extraction.This paper develops a Hybrid DL system that unites MobileNetV2 with adaptive classification methods to boost Alzheimer’s diagnosis by processing MRI scans.Image enhancement is done using Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE)and Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks(ESRGAN).A classification robustness enhancement system integrates class weighting techniques and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient(MCC)-based evaluation method into the design.The trained and validated model gives a 98.88%accuracy rate and 0.9614 MCC score.We also performed a 10-fold cross-validation experiment with an average accuracy of 96.52%(±1.51),a loss of 0.1671,and an MCC score of 0.9429 across folds.The proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models with a 98%weighted F1-score while decreasing misdiagnosis results for every AD stage.The model demonstrates apparent separation abilities between AD progression stages according to the results of the confusion matrix analysis.These results validate the effectiveness of hybrid DL models with adaptive preprocessing for early and reliable Alzheimer’s diagnosis,contributing to improved computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems in clinical practice.

文摘The visual noise of each light intensity area is different when the image is drawn by Monte Carlo method.However,the existing denoising algorithms have limited denoising performance under complex lighting conditions and are easy to lose detailed information.So we propose a rendered image denoising method with filtering guided by lighting information.First,we design an image segmentation algorithm based on lighting information to segment the image into different illumination areas.Then,we establish the parameter prediction model guided by lighting information for filtering(PGLF)to predict the filtering parameters of different illumination areas.For different illumination areas,we use these filtering parameters to construct area filters,and the filters are guided by the lighting information to perform sub-area filtering.Finally,the filtering results are fused with auxiliary features to output denoised images for improving the overall denoising effect of the image.Under the physically based rendering tool(PBRT)scene and Tungsten dataset,the experimental results show that compared with other guided filtering denoising methods,our method improves the peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)metrics by 4.2164 dB on average and the structural similarity index(SSIM)metrics by 7.8%on average.This shows that our method can better reduce the noise in complex lighting scenesand improvethe imagequality.

文摘The fusion of infrared and visible images should emphasize the salient targets in the infrared image while preserving the textural details of the visible images.To meet these requirements,an autoencoder-based method for infrared and visible image fusion is proposed.The encoder designed according to the optimization objective consists of a base encoder and a detail encoder,which is used to extract low-frequency and high-frequency information from the image.This extraction may lead to some information not being captured,so a compensation encoder is proposed to supplement the missing information.Multi-scale decomposition is also employed to extract image features more comprehensively.The decoder combines low-frequency,high-frequency and supplementary information to obtain multi-scale features.Subsequently,the attention strategy and fusion module are introduced to perform multi-scale fusion for image reconstruction.Experimental results on three datasets show that the fused images generated by this network effectively retain salient targets while being more consistent with human visual perception.

文摘In the field of image forensics,image tampering detection is a critical and challenging task.Traditional methods based on manually designed feature extraction typically focus on a specific type of tampering operation,which limits their effectiveness in complex scenarios involving multiple forms of tampering.Although deep learningbasedmethods offer the advantage of automatic feature learning,current approaches still require further improvements in terms of detection accuracy and computational efficiency.To address these challenges,this study applies the UNet 3+model to image tampering detection and proposes a hybrid framework,referred to as DDT-Net(Deep Detail Tracking Network),which integrates deep learning with traditional detection techniques.In contrast to traditional additive methods,this approach innovatively applies amultiplicative fusion technique during downsampling,effectively combining the deep learning feature maps at each layer with those generated by the Bayar noise stream.This design enables noise residual features to guide the learning of semantic features more precisely and efficiently,thus facilitating comprehensive feature-level interaction.Furthermore,by leveraging the complementary strengths of deep networks in capturing large-scale semantic manipulations and traditional algorithms’proficiency in detecting fine-grained local traces,the method significantly enhances the accuracy and robustness of tampered region detection.Compared with other approaches,the proposed method achieves an F1 score improvement exceeding 30% on the DEFACTO and DIS25k datasets.In addition,it has been extensively validated on other datasets,including CASIA and DIS25k.Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves outstanding performance across various types of image tampering detection tasks.

文摘Medical institutions frequently utilize cloud servers for storing digital medical imaging data, aiming to lower both storage expenses and computational expenses. Nevertheless, the reliability of cloud servers as third-party providers is not always guaranteed. To safeguard against the exposure and misuse of personal privacy information, and achieve secure and efficient retrieval, a secure medical image retrieval based on a multi-attention mechanism and triplet deep hashing is proposed in this paper (abbreviated as MATDH). Specifically, this method first utilizes the contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization method applicable to color images to enhance chest X-ray images. Next, a designed multi-attention mechanism focuses on important local features during the feature extraction stage. Moreover, a triplet loss function is utilized to learn discriminative hash codes to construct a compact and efficient triplet deep hashing. Finally, upsampling is used to restore the original resolution of the images during retrieval, thereby enabling more accurate matching. To ensure the security of medical image data, a lightweight image encryption method based on frequency domain encryption is designed to encrypt the chest X-ray images. The findings of the experiment indicate that, in comparison to various advanced image retrieval techniques, the suggested approach improves the precision of feature extraction and retrieval using the COVIDx dataset. Additionally, it offers enhanced protection for the confidentiality of medical images stored in cloud settings and demonstrates strong practicality.
文摘The segmentation process requires separating the image region into sub-regions of similar properties.Each sub-region has a group of pixels having the same characteristics,such as texture or intensity.This paper suggests an efficient hybrid segmentation approach for different medical image modalities based on particle swarm optimization(PSO)and improved fast fuzzy C-means clustering(IFFCM)algorithms.An extensive comparative study on different medical images is presented between the proposed approach and other different previous segmentation techniques.The existing medical image segmentation techniques incorporate clustering,thresholding,graph-based,edge-based,active contour,region-based,and watershed algorithms.This paper extensively analyzes and summarizes the comparative investigation of these techniques.Finally,a prediction of the improvement involves the combination of these techniques is suggested.The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid medical image segmentation approach provides superior outcomes in terms of the examined evaluation metrics compared to the preceding segmentation techniques.

文摘Image segmentation is attracting increasing attention in the field of medical image analysis.Since widespread utilization across various medical applications,ensuring and improving segmentation accuracy has become a crucial topic of research.With advances in deep learning,researchers have developed numerous methods that combine Transformers and convolutional neural networks(CNNs)to create highly accurate models for medical image segmentation.However,efforts to further enhance accuracy by developing larger and more complex models or training with more extensive datasets,significantly increase computational resource consumption.To address this problem,we propose BiCLIP-nnFormer(the prefix"Bi"refers to the use of two distinct CLIP models),a virtual multimodal instrument that leverages CLIP models to enhance the segmentation performance of a medical segmentation model nnFormer.Since two CLIP models(PMC-CLIP and CoCa-CLIP)are pre-trained on large datasets,they do not require additional training,thus conserving computation resources.These models are used offline to extract image and text embeddings from medical images.These embeddings are then processed by the proposed 3D CLIP adapter,which adapts the CLIP knowledge for segmentation tasks by fine-tuning.Finally,the adapted embeddings are fused with feature maps extracted from the nnFormer encoder for generating predicted masks.This process enriches the representation capabilities of the feature maps by integrating global multimodal information,leading to more precise segmentation predictions.We demonstrate the superiority of BiCLIP-nnFormer and the effectiveness of using CLIP models to enhance nnFormer through experiments on two public datasets,namely the Synapse multi-organ segmentation dataset(Synapse)and the Automatic Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge dataset(ACDC),as well as a self-annotated lung multi-category segmentation dataset(LMCS).

文摘Karst fractures serve as crucial seepage channels and storage spaces for carbonate natural gas reservoirs,and electrical image logs are vital data for visualizing and characterizing such fractures.However,the conventional approach of identifying fractures using electrical image logs predominantly relies on manual processes that are not only time-consuming but also highly subjective.In addition,the heterogeneity and strong dissolution tendency of karst carbonate reservoirs lead to complexity and variety in fracture geometry,which makes it difficult to accurately identify fractures.In this paper,the electrical image logs network(EILnet)da deep-learning-based intelligent semantic segmentation model with a selective attention mechanism and selective feature fusion moduledwas created to enable the intelligent identification and segmentation of different types of fractures through electrical logging images.Data from electrical image logs representing structural and induced fractures were first selected using the sliding window technique before image inpainting and data augmentation were implemented for these images to improve the generalizability of the model.Various image-processing tools,including the bilateral filter,Laplace operator,and Gaussian low-pass filter,were also applied to the electrical logging images to generate a multi-attribute dataset to help the model learn the semantic features of the fractures.The results demonstrated that the EILnet model outperforms mainstream deep-learning semantic segmentation models,such as Fully Convolutional Networks(FCN-8s),U-Net,and SegNet,for both the single-channel dataset and the multi-attribute dataset.The EILnet provided significant advantages for the single-channel dataset,and its mean intersection over union(MIoU)and pixel accuracy(PA)were 81.32%and 89.37%,respectively.In the case of the multi-attribute dataset,the identification capability of all models improved to varying degrees,with the EILnet achieving the highest MIoU and PA of 83.43%and 91.11%,respectively.Further,applying the EILnet model to various blind wells demonstrated its ability to provide reliable fracture identification,thereby indicating its promising potential applications.
