many unfortunate incidents in which children have died in abandoned underground wells. Providing topographical
information for these wells is a prerequisite to protecting people from the dangers of falling into them, especially
since most of these wells become buried over time. Many solutions have been developed recently, most with the
aim of exploring these well areas. However, these systems suffer from several limitations, including high complexity,

Abstract Recently, the demand for renewable energy has increased due to its environmental and economic needs. Solar
panels are the mainstay for dealing with solar energy and converting it into another form of usable energy. Solar
panels work under suitable climatic conditions that allow the light photons to access the solar cells, as any blocking
of sunlight on these cells causes a halt in the panels work and restricts the carry of these photons. Thus, the panels
are unable to work under these conditions. A layer of snow forms on the solar panels due to snowfall in areas with

Abstract The Bald Eagle Search algorithm (BES) is an emerging meta-heuristic algorithm. The algorithm simulates the
hunting behavior of eagles, and obtains an optimal solution through three stages, namely selection stage, search
stage and swooping stage. However, BES tends to drop-in local optimization and the maximum value of search
space needs to be improved. To fill this research gap, we propose an improved bald eagle algorithm (CABES) that
integrates Cauchy mutation and adaptive optimization to improve the performance of BES from local optima.
Firstly, CABES introduces the Cauchy mutation strategy to adjust the step size of the selection stage, to select… More >

Abstract Heterogeneous multicore clusters are becoming more popular for high-performance computing due to their great computing power and cost-to-performance effectiveness nowadays. Nevertheless, parallel efficiency degradation is still a problem in large-scale structural analysis based on heterogeneous multicore clusters. To solve it, a hybrid hierarchical parallel algorithm (HHPA) is proposed on the basis of the conventional domain decomposition algorithm (CDDA) and the parallel sparse solver. In this new algorithm, a three-layer parallelization of the computational procedure is introduced to enable the separation of the communication of inter-nodes, heterogeneous-core-groups (HCGs) and inside-heterogeneous-core-groups through mapping computing tasks to various hardware layers.

Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become a significant cause of heart attack, especially among those 40 years old or younger. There is a need to develop new technologies and methods to deal with this disease. Many researchers have proposed image processing-based solutions for CAD diagnosis, but achieving highly accurate results for angiogram segmentation is still a challenge. Several different types of angiograms are adopted for CAD diagnosis. This paper proposes an approach for image segmentation using Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) for diagnosing coronary artery disease to achieve state-of-the-art results. We have collected the 2D X-ray images from the hospital, and… More >

Abstract The field of healthcare is considered to be the most promising application of intelligent sensor networks. However, the security and privacy protection of medical images collected by intelligent sensor networks is a hot problem that has attracted more and more attention. Fortunately, digital watermarking provides an effective method to solve this problem. In order to improve the robustness of the medical image watermarking scheme, in this paper, we propose a novel zero-watermarking algorithm with the integer wavelet transform (IWT), Schur decomposition and image block energy. Specifically, we first use IWT to extract low-frequency information and divide them into non-overlapping blocks,… More >

Abstract A qualia role-based entity-dependency graph (EDG) is proposed to represent and extract quantity relations for solving algebra story problems stated in Chinese. Traditional neural solvers use end-to-end models to translate problem texts into math expressions, which lack quantity relation acquisition in sophisticated scenarios.

Abstract Monocular depth estimation is the basic task in computer vision. Its accuracy has tremendous improvement in the decade with the development of deep learning. However, the blurry boundary in the depth map is a serious problem. Researchers find that the blurry boundary is mainly caused by two factors. First, the low-level features, containing boundary and structure information, may be lost in deep networks during the convolution process. Second, the model ignores the errors introduced by the boundary area due to the few portions of the boundary area in the whole area, during the backpropagation. Focusing on the factors mentioned above.… More >

However, these local optimal solutions are too difficult to jump out of their current relative geometry relationships, significantly limiting their further improvement in performance indicators. Therefore, considering the geometric diversity of layout schemes is put forward to alleviate this limitation.
