However, with complicated mechanism, interferometric imaging faces the impact of multi-stage degradation. Most exsiting interferometric spectrum reconstruction methods are based on tradition model-based framework with multiple steps, showing poor efficiency and restricted performance. Thus, we propose an interferometric spectrum reconstruction method based on degradation synthesis and deep learning.Firstly, based on imaging mechanism, we proposed an mathematical model of interferometric imaging to analyse the degradation components as noises and trends during imaging. The model consists of three stages, namely instrument degradation, sensing degradation, and signal-independent degradation process. Then, we designed calibration-based method to estimate parameters in the model, of which the results are used for synthesizing realistic dataset for learning-based algorithms.In addition, we proposed a dual-stage interferogram spectrum reconstruction framework, which supports pre-training and integration of denoising DNNs. Experiments exhibits the reliability of our degradation model and synthesized data, and the effectiveness of the proposed reconstruction method.展开更多

The second-order statistics based on texture features are analyzed to evaluate the scale stationarity of the training image. The multiple-point statistics of the training image are applied to obtain the multiple-point statistics stationarity estimation by the multi-point density function. The results show that the reconstructed 3D structures are closer to reality when the training image has better scale stationarity and multiple-point statistics stationarity by the indications of local percolation probability and two-point probability. Moreover, training images with higher multiple-point statistics stationarity and lower scale stationarity are likely to obtain closer results to the real 3D structure, and vice versa. Thus, stationarity analysis of the training image has far-reaching significance in choosing a better 2D thin section image for the 3D reconstruction of porous media. Especially, high-order statistics perform better than low-order statistics.展开更多

The PICCS-based image reconstruction takes advantage of the compressed sensing theory, a prior image and an optimization algorithm to improve the image quality of CT reconstructions.To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, three optimization algorithms and three prior images are employed and compared in terms of reconstruction accuracy and noise characteristics of the reconstructed images in each energy bin.The experimental simulation results show that the image xbins^W is the best as the prior image in general with respect to the three optimization algorithms; and the SPS algorithm offers the best performance for the simulated phantom with respect to the three prior images. Compared with filtered back-projection（FBP）, the PICCS via the SPS algorithm and xbins^W as the prior image can offer the noise reduction in the reconstructed images up to 80. 46%, 82. 51%, 88. 08% in each energy bin,respectively. M eanwhile, the root-mean-squared error in each energy bin is decreased by 15. 02%, 18. 15%, 34. 11% and the correlation coefficient is increased by 9. 98%, 11. 38%,15. 94%, respectively.展开更多

However, in practical applications of LCT, there are challenges to image reconstruction due to limited-angle and insufficient data. In this paper, a new reconstruction algorithm based on total-variation （TV） minimization is developed to reconstruct images from limited-angle and insufficient data in LCT. The main idea of our approach is to reformulate a TV problem as a linear equality constrained problem where the objective function is separable, and then minimize its augmented Lagrangian function by using alternating direction method （ADM） to solve subproblems. The proposed method is robust and efficient in the task of reconstruction by showing the convergence of ADM. The numerical simulations and real data reconstructions show that the proposed reconstruction method brings reasonable performance and outperforms some previous ones when applied to an LCT imaging problem.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In Hyperspectral Imaging(HSI),the detrimental influence of noise and distortions on data quality is profound,which has severely affected the following-on analytics and decisionmaking such as land mapping.This study presents an innovative framework for assessing HSI band quality and reconstructing the low-quality bands,based on the Prophet model.By introducing a comprehensive quality metric to start,the authors approach factors in both spatial and spectral characteristics across local and global scales.This metric effectively captures the intricate noise and distortions inherent in the HSI data.Subsequently,the authors employ the Prophet model to forecast information within the low-quality bands,leveraging insights from neighbouring high-quality bands.To validate the effectiveness of the authors’proposed model,extensive experiments on three publicly available uncorrected datasets are conducted.In a head-to-head comparison,the framework against six state-ofthe-art band reconstruction algorithms including three spectral methods,two spatialspectral methods and one deep learning method is benchmarked.The authors’experiments also delve into strategies for band selection based on quality metrics and the quality evaluation of the reconstructed bands.In addition,the authors assess the classification accuracy utilising these reconstructed bands.In various experiments,the results consistently affirm the efficacy of the authors’method in HSI quality assessment and band reconstruction.Notably,the authors’approach obviates the need for manually prefiltering of noisy bands.This comprehensive framework holds promise in addressing HSI data quality concerns whilst enhancing the overall utility of HSI.

文摘When detecting objects in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)taken images,large number of objects and high proportion of small objects bring huge challenges for detection algorithms based on the You Only Look Once(YOLO)framework,rendering them challenging to deal with tasks that demand high precision.To address these problems,this paper proposes a high-precision object detection algorithm based on YOLOv10s.Firstly,a Multi-branch Enhancement Coordinate Attention(MECA)module is proposed to enhance feature extraction capability.Secondly,a Multilayer Feature Reconstruction(MFR)mechanism is designed to fully exploit multilayer features,which can enrich object information as well as remove redundant information.Finally,an MFR Path Aggregation Network(MFR-Neck)is constructed,which integrates multi-scale features to improve the network's ability to perceive objects of var-ying sizes.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm increases the average detection accuracy by 14.15%on the Vis Drone dataset compared to YOLOv10s,effectively enhancing object detection precision in UAV-taken images.

文摘This study introduces a novel method for reconstructing the 3D model of aluminum foam using cross-sectional sequence images.Combining precision milling and image acquisition,high-qual-ity cross-sectional images are obtained.Pore structures are segmented by the U-shaped network(U-Net)neural network integrated with the Canny edge detection operator,ensuring accurate pore delineation and edge extraction.The trained U-Net achieves 98.55%accuracy.The 2D data are superimposed and processed into 3D point clouds,enabling reconstruction of the pore structure and aluminum skeleton.Analysis of pore 01 shows the cross-sectional area initially increases,and then decreases with milling depth,with a uniform point distribution of 40 per layer.The reconstructed model exhibits a porosity of 77.5%,with section overlap rates between the 2D pore segmentation and the reconstructed model exceeding 96%,confirming high fidelity.Equivalent sphere diameters decrease with size,averaging 1.95 mm.Compression simulations reveal that the stress-strain curve of the 3D reconstruction model of aluminum foam exhibits fluctuations,and the stresses in the reconstruction model concentrate on thin cell walls,leading to localized deformations.This method accurately restores the aluminum foam’s complex internal structure,improving reconstruction preci-sion and simulation reliability.The approach offers a cost-efficient,high-precision technique for optimizing material performance in engineering applications.
文摘A new method to accelerate the convergent rate of the space-alternatinggeneralized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm is proposed. The new rescaled block-iterativeSAGE (RBI-SAGE) algorithm combines the RBI algorithm with the SAGE algorithm for PET imagereconstruction. In the new approach, the projection data is partitioned into disjoint blocks; eachiteration step involves only one of these blocks. SAGE updates the parameters sequentially in eachblock. In experiments, the RBI-SAGE algorithm and classical SAGE algorithm are compared in theapplication on positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction. Simulation results show thatRBI-SAGE has better performance than SAGE in both convergence and image quality.

文摘In order to obtain a better sandstone three-dimensional （3D） reconstruction result which is more similar to the original sample, an algorithm based on stationarity for a two-dimensional （2D） training image is proposed. The second-order statistics based on texture features are analyzed to evaluate the scale stationarity of the training image. The multiple-point statistics of the training image are applied to obtain the multiple-point statistics stationarity estimation by the multi-point density function. The results show that the reconstructed 3D structures are closer to reality when the training image has better scale stationarity and multiple-point statistics stationarity by the indications of local percolation probability and two-point probability. Moreover, training images with higher multiple-point statistics stationarity and lower scale stationarity are likely to obtain closer results to the real 3D structure, and vice versa. Thus, stationarity analysis of the training image has far-reaching significance in choosing a better 2D thin section image for the 3D reconstruction of porous media. Especially, high-order statistics perform better than low-order statistics.

文摘To improve spectral X-ray CT reconstructed image quality, the energy-weighted reconstructed image xbins^W and the separable paraboloidal surrogates（SPS） algorithm are proposed for the prior image constrained compressed sensing（PICCS）-based spectral X-ray CT image reconstruction. The PICCS-based image reconstruction takes advantage of the compressed sensing theory, a prior image and an optimization algorithm to improve the image quality of CT reconstructions.To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, three optimization algorithms and three prior images are employed and compared in terms of reconstruction accuracy and noise characteristics of the reconstructed images in each energy bin.The experimental simulation results show that the image xbins^W is the best as the prior image in general with respect to the three optimization algorithms; and the SPS algorithm offers the best performance for the simulated phantom with respect to the three prior images. Compared with filtered back-projection（FBP）, the PICCS via the SPS algorithm and xbins^W as the prior image can offer the noise reduction in the reconstructed images up to 80. 46%, 82. 51%, 88. 08% in each energy bin,respectively. M eanwhile, the root-mean-squared error in each energy bin is decreased by 15. 02%, 18. 15%, 34. 11% and the correlation coefficient is increased by 9. 98%, 11. 38%,15. 94%, respectively.

文摘BACKGROUND Deep learning-based super-resolution(SR)reconstruction can obtain high-quality images with more detailed information.AIM To compare multiparametric normal-resolution(NR)and SR magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in predicting the histopathologic grade in hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a total of 826 patients from two medical centers(training 459;validation 196;test 171).T2-weighted imaging,diffusion-weighted imaging,and portal venous phases were collected.Tumor segmentations were conducted automatically by 3D U-Net.Based on generative adversarial network,we utilized 3D SR reconstruction to produce SR MRI.Radiomics models were developed and validated by XGBoost and Catboost.The predictive efficiency was demonstrated by calibration curves,decision curve analysis,area under the curve(AUC)and net reclassification index(NRI).RESULTS We extracted 3045 radiomic features from both NR and SR MRI,retaining 29 and 28 features,respectively.For XGBoost models,SR MRI yielded higher AUC value than NR MRI in the validation and test cohorts(0.83 vs 0.79;0.80 vs 0.78),respectively.Consistent trends were seen in CatBoost models:SR MRI achieved AUCs of 0.89 and 0.80 compared to NR MRI’s 0.81 and 0.76.NRI indicated that the SR MRI models could improve the prediction accuracy by-1.6%to 20.9%compared to the NR MRI models.CONCLUSION Deep learning-based SR MRI could improve the predictive performance of histopathologic grade in HCC.It may be a powerful tool for better stratification management for patients with operable HCC.

文摘In order to improve the reconstruction accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),an accurate natural image compressed sensing(CS)reconstruction network is proposed,which combines the advantages of model-based and deep learning-based CS-MRI methods.In theory,enhancing geometric texture details in linear reconstruction is possible.First,the optimization problem is decomposed into two problems:linear approximation and geometric compensation.Aimed at the problem of image linear approximation,the data consistency module is used to deal with it.Since the processing process will lose texture details,a neural network layer that explicitly combines image and frequency feature representation is proposed,which is named butterfly dilated geometric distillation network.The network introduces the idea of butterfly operation,skillfully integrates the features of image domain and frequency domain,and avoids the loss of texture details when extracting features in a single domain.Finally,a channel feature fusion module is designed by combining channel attention mechanism and dilated convolution.The attention of the channel makes the final output feature map focus on the more important part,thus improving the feature representation ability.The dilated convolution enlarges the receptive field,thereby obtaining more dense image feature data.The experimental results show that the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the network is 5.43 dB,5.24 dB and 3.89 dB higher than that of ISTA-Net+,FISTA and DGDN networks on the brain data set with a Cartesian sampling mask CS ratio of 10%.

文摘Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy(STORM),as a typical technique of single-molecule localization microscopy(SMLM),has overcome the diffraction limit by randomly switching fluorophores between fluorescent and dark states,allowing for the precise localization of isolated emission patterns and the super-resolution reconstruction from millions of localized positions of single fluorophores.A critical factor influencing localization precision is the photo-switching behavior of fluorophores,which is affected by the imaging buffer.The imaging buffer typically comprises oxygen scavengers,photo-switching reagents,and refractive index regulators.Oxygen scavengers help prevent photobleaching,photo-switching reagents assist in facilitating the conversion of fluorophores,and refractive index regulators are used to adjust the refractive index of the solution.The synergistic interaction of these components promotes stable blinking of fluorophores,reduces irreversible photobleaching,and thereby ensures high-quality super-resolution imaging.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the essential compositions and functionalities of imaging buffers used in STORM,serving as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to select appropriate imaging buffers for their experiments.

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Linear scan computed tomography （LCT） is of great benefit to online industrial scanning and security inspection due to its characteristics of straight-line source trajectory and high scanning speed. However, in practical applications of LCT, there are challenges to image reconstruction due to limited-angle and insufficient data. In this paper, a new reconstruction algorithm based on total-variation （TV） minimization is developed to reconstruct images from limited-angle and insufficient data in LCT. The main idea of our approach is to reformulate a TV problem as a linear equality constrained problem where the objective function is separable, and then minimize its augmented Lagrangian function by using alternating direction method （ADM） to solve subproblems. The proposed method is robust and efficient in the task of reconstruction by showing the convergence of ADM. The numerical simulations and real data reconstructions show that the proposed reconstruction method brings reasonable performance and outperforms some previous ones when applied to an LCT imaging problem.

文摘This study systematically investigated the Lean Blowoff(LBO)limits of Two-Dimensional(2D)bluff-body stabilized premixed flames by varying the air mass flow rate,inflowtemperature,bluff-body width,and fuel type.The data of LBO limits were analyzed and fittedaccording to the Damk?hler(Da)and Reynolds(Re)numbers,and the fitting accuracy of LBO datawas highly improved by a modified characteristic length simultaneously considering the length andwidth of the bluff body,which is usually neglected in the previous studies.Moreover,to our knowl-edge,this is the first time that simultaneous transverse and spanwise OH*-Chemiluminescence(CL)imaging has been performed to examine the three-dimensional behavior of the LBO process.The flame stability is heavily affected by the mass and energy transport between reactants andproducts in both directions,potentially leading to the flame pinch-off.The intensity and positionof the upstream flame after pinch-off are decisive to the occurrence of the following LBO.Whenthe upstream flame after pinch-off is weak and close to the bluff body,it cannot re-ignite thedownstream unburnt gas.Subsequently,a permanent downstream extinction occurs,and theLBO takes place.The results help understand the LBO mechanism of 2D bluff-body stabilizedflames.
