Abstract Parametric curves such as Bézier and B-splines, originally developed for the design of automobile bodies, are now also used in image processing and computer vision. For example, reconstructing an object shape in an image, including different translations, scales, and orientations, can be performed using these parametric curves. For this, Bézier and B-spline curves can be generated using a point set that belongs to the outer boundary of the object. The resulting object shape can be used in computer vision fields, such as searching and segmentation methods and training machine learning algorithms. The prerequisite for reconstructing the shape with parametric curves… More >

Abstract A two-layer implicit difference scheme is employed in the present study to determine the temperature distribution in an asphalt pavement. The calculation of each layer only needs four iterations to achieve convergence. Furthermore, in order to improve the calculation accuracy a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm is also exploited to inversely analyze the laws by which the thermal physical parameters of the asphalt pavement materials change with temperature. Using the basic cuckoo and the gray wolf algorithms, an adaptive hybrid optimization algorithm is obtained and used to determine the relationship between the thermal diffusivity of two types of asphalt pavement materials… More >

Abstract In this paper, we proposed a combined PCA-LPP algorithm to improve 3D face reconstruction performance. Principal component analysis (PCA) is commonly used to compress images and extract features. One disadvantage of PCA is local feature loss. To address this, various studies have proposed combining a PCA-LPP-based algorithm with a locality preserving projection (LPP). However, the existing PCA-LPP method is unsuitable for 3D face reconstruction because it focuses on data classification and clustering. In the existing PCA-LPP, the adjacency graph, which primarily shows the connection relationships between data, is composed of the e-or k-nearest neighbor techniques. By contrast, in this study,… More >

Abstract Three dimensional (3D) echocardiogram enables cardiologists to visualize suspicious cardiac structures in detail. In recent years, this three-dimensional echocardiogram carries important clinical value in virtual surgical simulation. However, this 3D echocardiogram involves a trade-off difficulty between accuracy and efficient computation in clinical diagnosis. This paper presents a novel Flip Directional 3D Volume Reconstruction (FD-3DVR) method for the reconstruction of echocardiogram images. The proposed method consists of two main steps: multiplanar volumetric imaging and 3D volume reconstruction. In the creation of multiplanar volumetric imaging, two-dimensional (2D) image pixels are mapped into voxels of the volumetric grid. As the obtained slices are… More >

Abstract 3D reconstruction based on single view aims to reconstruct the entire 3D shape of an object from one perspective. When existing methods reconstruct the mesh surface of complex objects, the surface details are difficult to predict and the reconstruction visual effect is poor because the mesh representation is not easily integrated into the deep learning framework; the 3D topology is easily limited by predefined templates and inflexible, and unnecessary mesh self-intersections and connections will be generated when reconstructing complex topology, thus destroying the surface details; the training of the reconstruction network is limited by the large amount of information attached… More >

Abstract Blockchain merges technology with the Internet of Things (IoT) for addressing security and privacy-related issues. However, conventional blockchain suffers from scalability issues due to its linear structure, which increases the storage overhead, and Intrusion detection performed was limited with attack severity, leading to performance degradation. To overcome these issues, we proposed MZWB (Multi-Zone-Wise Blockchain) model. Initially, all the authenticated IoT nodes in the network ensure their legitimacy by using the Enhanced Blowfish Algorithm (EBA), considering several metrics. Then, the legitimately considered nodes for network construction for managing the network using Bayesian-Direct Acyclic Graph (B-DAG), which considers several metrics. The intrusion… More >

Abstract Single image super resolution (SISR) techniques produce images of high resolution (HR) as output from input images of low resolution (LR). Motivated by the effectiveness of deep learning methods, we provide a framework based on deep learning to achieve super resolution (SR) by utilizing deep singular-residual neural network (DSRNN) in training phase. Residuals are obtained from the difference between HR and LR images to generate LR-residual example pairs. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied to each LR-residual image pair to decompose into subbands of low and high frequency components. Later, DSRNN is trained on these subbands through input and output… More >

Abstract Discrete Tomography (DT) is a technology that uses image projection to reconstruct images. Its reconstruction problem, especially the binary image (0–1 matrix) has attracted strong attention. In this study, a fixed point iterative method of integer programming based on intelligent optimization is proposed to optimize the reconstructed model. The solution process can be divided into two procedures. First, the DT problem is reformulated into a polyhedron judgment problem based on lattice basis reduction. Second, the fixed-point iterative method of Dang and Ye is used to judge whether an integer point exists in the polyhedron of the previous program. All the… More >

Abstract Machine learning tasks such as image classification need to select the features that can describe the image well. The image has individual features and common features, and they are interdependent. If only the individual features of the image are emphasized, the neural network is prone to overfitting. If only the common features of images are emphasized, neural networks will not be able to adapt to diversified learning environments. In order to better integrate individual features and common features, based on skeleton and edge individual features extraction, this paper designed a mixed feature extraction method based on resonance filtering, named resonance… More >

Abstract Great achievements have been made during the last decades in the field of Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) image reconstruction. However, there is still a need to make these image reconstruction results faster and of better quality. Recently, Deep Learning (DL) is flourishing and is adopted in many fields. The DL is very good at dealing with complex nonlinear functions and it is built using several series of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). An ECT image reconstruction model using DNN is proposed in this paper. The proposed model mainly uses Residual Autoencoder called (ECT_ResAE). A large-scale dataset of 320 k instances have… More >
