Abstract Transformer models have emerged as dominant networks for various tasks in computer vision compared to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The transformers demonstrate the ability to model long-range dependencies by utilizing a self-attention mechanism. This study aims to provide a comprehensive survey of recent transformer-based approaches in image and video applications, as well as diffusion models. We begin by discussing existing surveys of vision transformers and comparing them to this work. Then, we review the main components of a vanilla transformer network, including the self-attention mechanism, feed-forward network, position encoding, etc. In the main part of More >

Abstract Multi-modal histological image registration tasks pose significant challenges due to tissue staining operations causing partial loss and folding of tissue. Convolutional neural network (CNN) and generative adversarial network (GAN) are pivotal in medical image registration. However, existing methods often struggle with severe interference and deformation, as seen in histological images of conditions like Cushing’s disease. We argue that the failure of current approaches lies in underutilizing the feature extraction capability of the discriminator in GAN. In this study, we propose a novel multi-modal registration approach GAN-DIRNet based on GAN for deformable histological image registration. To… More >

Abstract While single-modal visible light images or infrared images provide limited information, infrared light captures significant thermal radiation data, whereas visible light excels in presenting detailed texture information. Combining images obtained from both modalities allows for leveraging their respective strengths and mitigating individual limitations, resulting in high-quality images with enhanced contrast and rich texture details. Such capabilities hold promising applications in advanced visual tasks including target detection, instance segmentation, military surveillance, pedestrian detection, among others. This paper introduces a novel approach, a dual-branch decomposition fusion network based on AutoEncoder (AE), which decomposes multi-modal features into intensity… More >

Abstract To address the problems of network congestion and spectrum resources shortage in multi-user large-scale scenarios, this paper proposes a twice random access OFDMA-NOMA-RA protocol combining the advantages of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). The idea of this protocol is that OFMDA is used to divide the entire frequency field into multiple orthogonal resource units (RUs), and NOMA is used on each RU to enable more users to access the channel and improve spectrum efficiency. Based on the protocol designed in this paper, in the case of imperfect successive interference… More >

Abstract In this paper, a generalized th-order perturbation method based on the isogeometric boundary element method is proposed for the uncertainty analysis of broadband structural acoustic scattering problems. The Burton-Miller method is employed to solve the problem of non-unique solutions that may be encountered in the external acoustic field, and the th-order discretization formulation of the boundary integral equation is derived. In addition, the computation of loop subdivision surfaces and the subdivision rules are introduced. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the algorithm, the computed results are contrasted and analyzed with the results under Monte More >

Abstract Text classification, by automatically categorizing texts, is one of the foundational elements of natural language processing applications. This study investigates how text classification performance can be improved through the integration of entity-relation information obtained from the Wikidata (Wikipedia database) database and BERT-based pre-trained Named Entity Recognition (NER) models. Focusing on a significant challenge in the field of natural language processing (NLP), the research evaluates the potential of using entity and relational information to extract deeper meaning from texts. The adopted methodology encompasses a comprehensive approach that includes text preprocessing, entity detection, and the integration of… More >

Abstract Wheat is a critical crop, extensively consumed worldwide, and its production enhancement is essential to meet escalating demand. The presence of diseases like stem rust, leaf rust, yellow rust, and tan spot significantly diminishes wheat yield, making the early and precise identification of these diseases vital for effective disease management. With advancements in deep learning algorithms, researchers have proposed many methods for the automated detection of disease pathogens; however, accurately detecting multiple disease pathogens simultaneously remains a challenge. This challenge arises due to the scarcity of RGB images for multiple diseases, class imbalance in existing… More >

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. This disease causes loss of heart muscles and is also responsible for the death of heart cells, sometimes damaging their functionality. A person’s life may depend on receiving timely assistance as soon as possible. Thus, minimizing the death ratio can be achieved by early detection of heart attack (HA) symptoms. In the United States alone, an estimated 610,000 people die from heart attacks each year, accounting for one in every four fatalities. However, by identifying and reporting heart attack symptoms early on, it is possible to… More >
