Zhenyang Hui, Zhuoxuan Li, Penggen Cheng, Zhaochen Cai, and Xianchun Guo

A point object primitive obtaining method based on multiconstraint graph segmentation is proposed to address these challenges. A graph-based segmentation strategy is adopted for this method. First, constraint conditions of adjacent points are used to construct a network graph structure to reduce the complexity of the graph and improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Subsequently, the angle of the normal vectors of adjacent nodes is constrained using a threshold value to divide the point cloud located in the same plane into the same object primitive. Finally, the maximum side length constraint is performed to separate the building point cloud from its adjacent vegetation points. Three sets of public test data provided by the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) and two datasets located in Wuhan University were selected for testing to verify the validity of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively divide different roof planes of buildings. DBSCAN and spectral clustering methods were used for comparison, and precision, recall, and F1 score were adopted as evaluation indexes. Compared with the other two methods, the proposed method achieves the best overall segmentation results in case of the five datasets with different building environments, with better recall and F1 score..

Guoli Zhang, Shuai Chang, Yansong Song, and Tianci Liu
At present, most of the multi-spectral pedestrian detection algorithms focus on the fusion methods of visible light and infrared images, but the number of parameters to fully fuse multi-spectral images is huge, resulting in lower detection speed.

To solve this problem, we propose a multi-spectral pedestrian detection algorithm based on YOLOv5s with high timeliness. To ensure the detection speed of the algorithm, we select the merging method of visible light and infrared light channel direction as the input of the network, and improve the detection accuracy by improving the traditional algorithm. First, some standard convolution is replaced by deformable convolution to enhance the ability of the network to extract irregular shape feature objects. Second, the spatial pyramid pooling module in the network is replaced by multi-scale residual attention module, which weakens the interference of the background to the pedestrian target and improves the detection accuracy. Finally, by changing the connection mode and adding the large-scale feature splicing layer, the minimum detection scale of the network is increased, and the detection effect of the network for small targets is improved. Experimental results show that the improved algorithm has obvious advantages in detection speed, and improves the mAP@0.5 and mAP@0.5∶0.95 by 5.1 and 1.9 percentage points over the original algorithm, respectively..

The proposed model is a D-shaped structured network comprising a frequency domain prior guidance and feature fusion enhancer subnetworks. First, the original image is transformed from the spatial domain to the frequency domain using Fourier transform, extracting high-frequency edge features and combining the low-level features of the frequency domain prior-guided subnetwork with the corresponding stages of the feature fusion enhancement subnetwork for improving the edge recognition ability. Second, a feature fusion module with local and global attention mechanisms is introduced at the jump connection of the feature fusion enhancer network to extract contextual information and obtain rich texture details. Finally, the Transformer module is introduced at the bottom of the network to further extract long-distance semantic information, enhance the expression ability of the model, and improve segmentation accuracy. Experimental results on the ACDC dataset reveal that compared to existing methods, the proposed method achieves the best results in objective indicators and visual effects. Good cardiac segmentation results can provide reference for subsequent image analysis and clinical diagnosis..

In this study, a low-light image enhancement algorithm based on multiscale depth curve estimation is proposed to address the poor generalization ability of existing algorithms. Low-light image enhancement is achieved by learning the mapping relationship between normal images and low-light images with different scales. The parameter estimation network comprises three encoders with different scales and a fusion module, facilitating the efficient and direct learning for low-light images. Furthermore, each encoder comprises cascaded convolutional and pooling layers, thereby facilitating the reuse of feature layers and improving computational efficiency. To enhance the constraint on image brightness, a bright channel loss function is proposed. The proposed method is validated against six state-of-the-art algorithms on the LIME, LOL, and DICM datasets. Experimental results show that enhanced images with vibrant colors, moderate brightness, and significant details can be obtained using the proposed method, outperforming other conventional algorithms in subjective visual effects and objective quantitative evaluations..

However, common attention modules face issues with the receptive field being too small to focus on overall information. Moreover, existing global attention modules tend to incur high computational costs. To address these challenges, a lightweight, universal attention module, termed"global-sampling spatial-attention module", is introduced herein based on convolution, pooling, and comparison methods. This module relies on the comparison methods to derive spatial-attention maps for intermediate feature maps generated during deep network inference. Moreover, this module can be directly integrated into convolutional neural networks with minimal costs and can be end-to-end trained with the networks. The introduced module was primarily validated using a randomly selected subset of the ImageNet-1K dataset and a proprietary low-slow-small drone dataset. Experimental results show that compared with other modules, this module exhibits an improvement of approximately 1?3 percentage points in tasks related to image classification and small object detection and recognition. These findings underscore the efficacy of the proposed module and its applicability in small object detection..

First, the source images were decomposed into low-rank and sparse matrices using LRSMD. Subsequently, the DCT-based method was designed for detecting the focus regions in the low-rank matrix part and obtaining the initial focus decision map. The decision map was verified using the repeated consistency verification method. Meanwhile, the fusion strategy based on morphological filtering was designed to obtain fusion results of the sparse matrix. Finally, the two parts were fused using the weighted reconstruction method. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of high clarity and full focus in subjective evaluations. The best results for the four metrics, including edge information retention, peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity, and correlation coefficient in objective evaluations, improved by 62.3%, 6.3%, 2.2%, and 6.3%, respectively, compared with the other five mainstream algorithms. These improvement results prove that the proposed algorithm effectively improves focused information extraction from source images and enhances the focused edge detail information. Furthermore, the algorithm is crucial for reducing the artifact and block effects..

The double-layer film is used for displaying halftone light-field-encoded images; the filter is used for generating red, green, and blue channels; and the aspherical cylindrical lens array and the vertical diffusion film are used for controlling the direction of light emission. Dense viewpoints and high-grayscale light-field display are obtained with the double-layer film. The number of viewpoints is increased through light-field encoding, and light-field-encoded images are synthesized on double-layer film structures using a halftone image joint optimization method. Thus, the grayscale range is expanded. In a verification experiment, a three-dimensional light-field display effect with dense viewpoints, high grayscale, and color was realized (165 viewpoints with a grayscale of 256×256×256)..

Vision measurement holds the greatest potential in this regard. However, insufficient assistant artificial targets necessitate the deployment of on-orbit targets to reliably and accurately calibrate the multi-camera vision measurement system. To address this issue, this study proposes an exterior parameter calibration method using fixed stars and scale rulers. First, we propose an imaging model of fixed stars and scale rulers based on relative exterior parameters to solve the problem of multi-camera localization and orientation when there are insufficient artificial target points. Then, we propose a weighted joint bundle adjustment algorithm based on prior error estimation, which fuses three different kinds of observation data to achieve high-precision exterior parameter calibration. Real data experiments demonstrate that this calibration method yields standard deviations of image errors of the fixed stars and the scale ruler endpoints of 0.48 μm (1/7 pixel) and 0.21 μm (1/16 pixel), respectively. In addition, with this calibration method, the standard deviations of spatial coordinate measurement errors along the X, Y, and Z axes are 0.15 mm, 0.04 mm, and 0.05 mm, respectively, within the measurement range of 2.5 m×1.4 m. This study provides a method and reference data for calibrating vision system parameters in on-orbit applications..

Yu Yao, Yang Zheng, Ziyi Cheng, Chao Gao, Xiaoqian Wang, and Zhihai Yao
The conventional edge detection encounters limitations in practical applications due to its low imaging quality. By contrast, the edge detection encounters based on ghost imaging can achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio for the edge imaging of object. Accordingly, this paper proposes a computational ghost imaging basedThe conventional edge detection encounters limitations in practical applications due to its low imaging quality. By contrast, the edge detection encounters based on ghost imaging can achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio for the edge imaging of object. Accordingly, this paper proposes a computational ghost imaging based on the edge detection using the Scharr operator. The Scharr operator has low computational complexity, enhancing its effectiveness for image processing. Hence, a new set of speckle functions is generated by applying the Scharr operator to speckle. When the Scharr operator template is applied to speckle movement, information will miss along a certain direction in edge extraction results. To address this problem, a new operator template is generated by converting the positive and negative values of the operator template. Thus, a new illumination speckle is created by applying the newly generated operator template to the moving speckle, thereby obtaining complete information along all directions in the edge detection results. Additionally, based on the basic method of computational ghost imaging, edges of unknown images are extracted theoretically and experimentally. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain complete and clear edges of the tested object..

Based on the phase edge of the isolated object, the wrapped phase is divided The traditional quality guided phase unwrapping method cannot correctly perform phase unwrapping for multiple objects. To overcome this problem, this study proposes a stereo quality guided phase unwrapping method based on region segmentation. Based on the phase edge of the isolated object, the wrapped phase is divided into several regions, and a stereo matching algorithm establishes the initial point of multi-view binocular phase unwrapping for each isolated region. Furthermore, the quality guided phase unwrapping algorithm realizes the phase unwrapping of multi-view isolated object. A single-frequency fringe structured light three dimensional (3D) measurement based on regional binocular stereo unwrapped phase matching is proposed, which achieves 3D reconstruction of multiple isolated objects under a single-frequency wrapped phase. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a 3D reconstruction of multiple isolated objects in motion. The mean absolute error of diameter for the reconstruction of a standard sphere under four-step phase shifting and single-frame conditions is 0.0135 mm and 0.0347 mm, respectively..

Dynamic virtual spatial distortion is an important factor that affects visual comfort. This study analyzes the processes involved in 3D image acquisition, display, and human eye perception to quantify the spatial distortion of virtual space in 3D imaging accurately. This study also simulates different spatial distortions that may occur in the process. The point cloud data of the object in the virtual space before and after distortion are compared and analyzed by first dividing and then aggregating. The quantitative model of static geometric distortion is thus established. The dynamic geometric distortion quantification model is obtained by combining the static model and the object motion attributes. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulating 10 different degrees of geometric distortion based on six groups of point clouds and comparing the subjective and objective consistencies between the proposed and classical method through subjective evaluation experiments. The results demonstrate that the proposed method has the best index performance in quantifying the geometric distortion of virtual space, and the Pearson's linear correlation coefficient obtained is 0.93, which accurately reflects the geometric distortion perceived by the test subjects. The research will provide a theoretical reference for the research in geometric distortion optimization and visual comfort improvement of 3D displays..

The method utilizes linear discriminant analysis to extract feature vectors from the objects. Based on these feature vectors, the characteristic speckle patterns are designed and applied to a correlation imaging system. By illuminating the objects with the characteristic speckle patterns, the bucket detector values are obtained from the correlation imaging system. The support vector machine is then employed to discriminate and classify the objects based on these bucket detector values. The feasibility of this approach is validated on the MNIST dataset. The results demonstrate that high classification accuracies can be achieved by the proposed method in all ten classification tasks, with an average classification accuracy of 90.5%.

The proposed method can improve the reconstruction quality of ghost images at a low sampling rate. Furthermore, the method concretely comprised the following steps: initially, a barrel detector collected the light intensity of the handwritten digital image irradiated by a series of scattering spots to obtain the total light intensity value; subsequently, a deep convolutional generative adversarial network applicable to the principle of ghost imaging was built, and the light intensity value was used as an input to train the model; finally, comparative analyses were performed with the traditional ghost imaging method and u-net network to verify the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the reconstructed image obtained using the proposed method is considerably superior to the comparison methods. Additionally, at sampling rates of 0.0625 and 0.25, the peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity of reconstructed image are 18.9%/51.9% and 38.29%/42.35% higher than those obtained using the u-net network, respectively..

Hence, achieving 3D display is very difficult. In this paper, a 3D display technology is proposed by integrating the silicon-based micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) 2D scanning platform with the metasurface element. By leveraging the persistence of vision, an on-chip scanning structure was created to realize 3D display. As a result, the object image information was theoretically reconfigured to 3D display. Further, the chromatography method was used to construct 3D display, and the phase value of the single layer 2D image element was obtained using the Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm. Then, 2D metasurface structures were established based on the geometric phase principle, and the corresponding 2D holographic plane images were achieved based on the principle of Fraunhofer diffraction. Finally, a 3D display was built through those above discrete metasurface holograms according to space and time series. The results show that the peak signal-to-noise ratio of 2D holograms is greater than 20 dB. Moreover, the proposed on-chip 2D scanning platform can assemble nine pieces of 2D holograms within 0.1 s, thereby enabling a reconfigured 3D display that can achieve a frame rate of 11 frame/s. Thus, this research findings provide a miniaturized system-level settlement and theoretical model for fast-modulating 3D display..

To meet the diverse needs of drivers for accessing information at various distances—ranging from far to near—during driving, we employ a dual free face-off three-reflection system to design an AR-HUD light path. This design facilitates virtual image distances of 10, 7.5, and 3.5 m, accompanied by corresponding field-of-view angles of 15°×5°, 12°×3°, and 6°×1°, respectively. In this setup, the optical path's image plane at the 3.5 m projection distance shows only essential driving information like speed and fuel level; it is a static image plane. At distances of 7.5 and 10 m, the image planes show additional information such as road conditions, navigation, and other auxiliary driving information. The image plane at a 10-m projection distance can seamlessly integrate virtual imagery with the actual road, with the two image planes dynamically switching based on the proximity to obstacles ahead, effectively alleviating visual fatigue in drivers. Notably, all three light spots at the eye point's center fall within Airy spots while achieving a modulation transfer function closely approaching the diffraction limit. Furthermore, the mesh distortion value is <5%, and the dynamic distortion value is <5′..

Nonetheless, it faces a significant challenge when the object under study experiences motion, as this can alter the phase-shifts between adjacent fringes, introducing periodic errors known as motion-induced errors. A three-dimensional measurement method for moving objects based on color stripe projection is proposed to address the above issues. This method encodes cosine and sine fringes into the red and blue channels of color images, respectively. Then, a phase shift algorithm is used to extract two phase maps with reverse motion errors from the two color channels. Finally, the average phase map is calculated to compensate for periodic motion errors, and the impact of color crosstalk on this method is further analyzed. Both simulation and real experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress motion errors, achieve accurate three-dimensional measurement of moving objects, and is less affected by color crosstalk..

The methodology involves extracting seed targets from dense target images and implementing a four-direction search matching strategy based on target array layout rules. It forms candidate target matching regions from the surrounding four regions of the seed targets, thereby updating the target position index through a re-indexing algorithm and conducting continuous traversing to precisely position all targets. Additionally, to address the difficulty of detecting similar targets, a Transformer self-attention structure is introduced in front of the convolutional neural network to extract correlation features of positions and categories among samples. Subsequently, a classification network based on the twin convolutional Transformer is devised to enhance structured information within adjacent target images, enabling accurate classification of dense and similar targets and thereby accomplishing robust target detection tasks. Experiments are conducted on a large number of dense target image datasets, and the results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the comparison algorithms in accuracy, achieving detection and classification accuracy of 98.71%. Therefore, it can effectively extract targets and conduct precise classification..

First, by expanding the detection scale by adding shallow feature maps to capture small defect information, the ability of the network to detect small targets is improved. Subsequently, the ordinary convolution in the Neck area is replaced with full-dimensional dynamic convolution to enhance the ability of the network to capture contextual printing defect information. Finally, to address the issue of reduced detection speed caused by the aforementioned two modifications, the C3 module in the Neck area is replaced with C3Ghost to improve detection speed to the maximum extent possible with considerably low detection accuracy loss. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a detection speed of 44.1 frame/s, and its mean average precision (mAP) reaches 97.3%, which is 2.9 percentage points and 2.7 percentage points higher than those of the original YOLOv5l algorithm and an existing printing defect detection algorithm-Siamese-YOLOv4, respectively. The proposed algorithm outperforms the original YOLOv5l and Siamese-YOLOv4 algorithms in classifying and locating defects in printed products with high detection accuracy and speed. Thus, the proposed algorithm can be applied to print quality inspection to improve production quality control levels and reduce labor costs..

First, to extract more effective feature information and improve the ability to locate defects, coordinate attention (CA) is used to aggregate coordinate information in the backbone network, and a contextual transformer (CoT) module is added behind the backbone network to increase the global receptive field. Second, it is combined with the weighted bidirectional feature pyramid to adjust the proportion of each branch in the structure to enhance the feature fusion ability of efficient layer aggregation networks. Finally, the loss function is replaced by Focal-EIoU loss to solve the problem of unbalanced samples. The mean average precision (mAP) @0.5 of the improved network increases by 1.2 percentage points to 93.2%, and the recognition speed is 89.3 frames/s. The research content of this paper provides a more efficient method for apple surface defect detection and a more accurate basis for apple grading..

According to tAiming at the problems of low contrast of the optical lens image and low recognition rate of optical lens surface defects under single illumination when detecting optical lens surface defects by machine vision, a visual detection method of optical lens surface defects under dual light source is proposed. According to the scattering imaging principle, the optical lens images containing defects are obtained by using the image sensor under two different illumination modes, the forward light and the backlight, and then the images are fused into one image by the image fusion algorithm. Finally, the defect size information of optical lens surface is obtained by using the recognition algorithm.

Haoyue Liu, Linghui Yang, Luyao Ma, and Yiyuan Fan
The advancement of intelligent, extendable surface measurement, exemplified by high-speed railway and track detection, necessitates improvements in on-line measurement, efficiency, and accuracy. This requirement presents a new challenge to dynamic performance. Multiframe measurement methods using stereoscopic line-scanThe advancement of intelligent, extendable surface measurement, exemplified by high-speed railway and track detection, necessitates improvements in on-line measurement, efficiency, and accuracy. This requirement presents a new challenge to dynamic performance. Multiframe measurement methods using stereoscopic line-scan camera systems facilitates high-resolution and high-speed data acquisition. Similarly, the three-dimensional shape measurement method, which employs fringe projection with line-scan cameras, facilitates high-resolution and rapid data collection. These methods are advantageous for achieving high-quality three-dimensional reconstruction of extendable surfaces in motion. However, a robust fringe projection measurement method requires multiple frames to obtain accurate phase information, leading to low encoding efficiency. Thus, reducing the measurement period and decreasing the number of required image frames remain critical issues for enhancing dynamic performance. To mitigate these challenges, we introduced a dynamic measurement method for extendable surfaces using stereoscopic line-scan cameras and color-encoded three-frequency-fringe projection. We employed composite stripe projection based on color-structured light to minimize the number of projected patterns and three solid color images for effective crosstalk compensation. We sequentially projected a color-encoded sine fringe and white patterns onto the object, incorporating one-dimensional background normalization to mitigate the influence of the object's surface optical properties. This enables the acquisition of unwrapped phases based on color encoding information. Pixels in the images obtained from both cameras that share identical unwrapped phases are identified as corresponding pixels. The proposed method effectively exploits the dynamic capabilities of line-scan technology, thus achieving high-quality contour mapping through two frames and facilitating texture mapping..

Existing research focuses on reducing inter-modal differences by extracting modal shared features, while ignoring the processing of intra-modal differences and background interference. In this regard, a mask reconstruction and dynamic attention (MRDA) network is proposed to eliminate the influence of background clutter by reconstructing the features of human body regions, thereby enhancing the robustness of the network on background changes. In addition, the dynamic attention mechanism is combined to filter irrelevant information, dynamically mine and enhance the discriminating feature representations, and eliminate the influence of intra-modal differences. The experimental results show that the probability the first search result matches successfully (Rank-1) and mean average precision (mAP) in the all-search mode of the SYSU-MM01 dataset reach 70.55% and 63.89%, respectively. The Rank-1 and mAP in the visible-to-infrared retrieval mode of the RegDB dataset reach 91.80% and 82.08%, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on the public datasets..

Xiyang Yin, Pei Zhou, and Jiangping Zhu

Most of the existing point cloud completion methods are limited by the point cloud disorder and irregularity, which makes it difficult to reconstruct the local detail information, thus affecting the completion accuracy. To solve this problem, an attention-based multi-stage network for point cloud completion is proposed. A pyramid feature extractor that satisfies the replacement invariance is designed to establish the dependence between points within a localization as well as the correlation between different localizations, so as to enhance the extraction of local information while extracting global feature information. In the point cloud reconstruction process, a coarse-to-fine completion method is adopted to first generate a low-resolution seed point cloud, and then gradually enrich the local details of the seed point cloud to obtain a finer and denser point cloud. Comparison results of the experiments conducted on the public dataset PCN demonstrate that the proposed network can effectively reconstruct the local detail information, and improves the completion accuracy by at least 5.98% over the existing methods. The ablation experimental results also further validate the effectiveness of the designed attention module..

Global Registration Method for Laser SLAM Point Clouds Based on Graph Optimization
Hao Tang, Dong Li, Cheng Wang, Sheng Nie, Jiayin Liu, and Ye Duan
To address the issue of drift errors and inadequate precision in point clouds produced by laser-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms during lengthy scanning trajectories, this study presents a global point cloud registration approach for laser SLAM that relies on graph optimization. We construcTo address the issue of drift errors and inadequate precision in point clouds produced by laser-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms during lengthy scanning trajectories, this study presents a global point cloud registration approach for laser SLAM that relies on graph optimization. We constructed initial and iterative pose graphs for cascaded optimization in succession for laser SLAM point clouds with specific drift errors. The pose graph is initially created using point cloud similarity and centroid distance of segments to reduce trajectory drift error, resulting in SLAM point clouds with smaller drift errors. From this, iterative pose graphs are formed based on the overlap of point clouds between segments. Subsequently, the point clouds are coarsely and finely adjusted in an iterative manner to produce higher precision SLAM point clouds. Experiments were performed in this paper using one set of handheld and three sets of vehicle-mounted laser SLAM data. After optimization, the point clouds of the four experimental data sets were well overlapped by their respective repeated scans. The distance root mean square error (RMSE) between the matched keypoints is reduced to 0.158, 0.211, 0.218, and 0.157 m from 2.667, 10.348, 19.018, and 3.412 m, respectively, before the optimization. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can resolve the issue of drift error during laser SLAM point cloud long trajectory scanning, ultimately improving the accuracy of the point cloud data..

The system consists of two sets of Alvarez lenses, apertures, focusing lenses, and infrared detectors. Herein, two sets of Alvarez lenses adopt a Kepler-type telescope structure, where the first set of Alvarez lenses functions as the zoom group and the second set of Alvarez lenses serves as the compensation group. The infinitely far incident light passes through two sets of Alvarez lenses and exits, the emitted parallel light is then focused and imaged onto the target surface of the infrared detector through a fixed focal lens. Utilizing Zemax software for optical simulation, our designed optical zoom system covers the 8?12 μm long wave infrared band, with a maximum field of view angle of 6°, a maximum pupil diameter of 6 mm, an F-number of 2, distortion of <2.1%, and a total optical length of ~74 mm. The Alvarez lens only requires to be horizontally moved by ~1 mm to achieve continuous optical magnification from 5× to 15×. Moreover, the modulation transfer function of the proposed optical zoom system can attain up to 0.5@17 lp/mm, assuming a resolution of 320×240 and pixel sizes of 30 μm for the infrared detector. The simulation results indicate that the system has the advantages of high magnification, a compact structure, and high imaging quality, making it a promising candidate for applications in the field of miniaturized infrared zoom imaging..

To improve the flexibility of the loss function of A target detection algorithm based on improved YOLOv8 is proposed to address the issues of high-missed and false-detection rates, inaccurate target positioning, and inability to accurately identify target categories in remote-sensing image target detection algorithms. To improve the flexibility of the loss function of the model in gradient allocation and adapt to various object shapes and sizes, a boundary box regression loss function is designed, which combines a nonmonotonic focusing mechanism with geometric factors of the boundary box. To expand the receptive field of the model and weaken the influence of the remote-sensing image background on the detection target, a residual global attention mechanism is designed by combining global attention mechanism and residual blocks. To adapt the model to the deformation and irregular arrangement of target objects in remote-sensing images, the C2f module in the YOLOv8 model is improved by incorporating deformable convolution and deformable region-of-interest pooling layers. Experimental results show that on DOTA and RSOD datasets, mean average precision (mAP@0.5) of the improved YOLOv8 algorithm reaches 72.1% and 94.6%, which are better than other mainstream algorithms. It improves the accuracy of remote sensing image target detection and provides a new means for remote sensing image target detection..

This network structure features a dual-branch decoder that combines local and global contexts and enhances the semantic information of shallow networks. First, we introduce a local attention embedding mechanism that enhances the embedding of context information and semantic information of high-level features into low-level features. Then, we design a dual-branch decoder that combines Transformer and convolutional neural networks, which extracts global context information and detailed information with different scales, thereby modeling global and local information. Finally, we improve the original loss function and use a joint loss function that combines cross-entropy loss and Dice loss to address the class imbalance problem often encountered in remote sensing datasets and thus improve segmentation accuracy. Our experimental results demonstrate the superiority of TransMANet over MANet and other advanced methods in terms of intersection over union on UAVid, LoveDA, Potsdam, and Vaihingen datasets. This indicates the strong generalization capability of TransMANet and its effectiveness in achieving accurate segmentation results..

The LiDAR system based on SPAD contains various sub-modules, and studying the influence of different types of sub-modules on the performance of LiDAR system can help optimizing the system scheme, improving R&D (research and development) efficiency, and reducing R&D cost. Therefore, according to the feature of sub-modules, we use the time-correlated single-photon counting technology (TCSPC) and the Monte Carlo method to establish the LiDAR model based on SPAD. The effects on system performance of passive reset circuit and active reset circuit, single-event first-photon TDC (time to digital converter) and multi-event TDC are obtained. The results show that the system performance of the active reset circuit and the passive reset circuit is basically the same under the conditions of the time of fight of 20 ns, the ambient light of 50×103 lx, and the target reflectivity of 10%. After the target reflectivity increases to 50%, the system performance of the active reset circuit is better than that of the passive reset circuit. Similarly, the system performance of multi-event TDC is better than that of single-event first-photon TDC, mainly because the noise of multi-event TDC is uniformly distributed, and compared with single-event first-photon TDC, the peak value of signal count of multi-event TDC is more likely to be greater than the peak value of noise floor count, and the corresponding solution range algorithm is simpler and requires less computing power. The simulation results show that in order to optimize the system performance, the sub-module of the SPAD integrated chip should adopt the architecture of active reset circuit and multi-event TDC..

The wavefront shaping technique is emerging as a promising solution to this challenge because optical focusing is achieved through scattering media by compensating phase delays among different scattering paths. The effectiveness of this technique relies on the deterministic design of the scattering medium because even minor changes in scatterers can disrupt phase compensation, thereby resulting in degraded focus quality or complete loss of focus. However, practical applications often involve dynamic scattering processes. For example, physiological activities in living organisms, such as blood flow, heartbeat, and breathing, induce dynamic scattering processes. Consequently, enhancing the modulation speed of the wavefront shaping system is crucial to ensure successful operation in biomedical applications involving live tissues. To address this challenge, this review offers a comprehensive introduction to the state of high-speed wavefront shaping systems, outlines future directions for optimizing system speed, analyzes potential applications in biomedical science, and provides a prospective outlook on the future development of wavefront shaping..
