Multimodal Phase-Space Dynamics Fusion for Robust Ischemia Screening: An Edge-AI Paradigm with SERF Magnetocardiography

Background: Myocardial ischemia (MI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and requires timely and reliable detection. Although Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free (SERF) magnetocardiography (MCG) provides femtotesla-level sensiti...

Generative Adversarial Networks in Computer Vision

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been extensively studied in the past few years. Arguably their most significant impact has been in the area of computer vision where great advances have been made in challenges such as plausible i...

Object detection in crowded scenes via joint prediction

Detecting highly-overlapped objects in crowded scenes remains a challenging problem, especially for one-stage detector. In this paper, we extricate YOLOv4 from the dilemma in a crowd by fine-tuning its detection scheme, named YOLO-CS. Speci...

Resting Posture Recognition Method for Suckling Piglets Based on Piglet Posture Recognition (PPR)–You Only Look Once

The resting postures of piglets are crucial indicators for assessing their health status and environmental comfort. This study proposes a resting posture recognition method for piglets during lactation based on the PPR-YOLO model, aiming to...

Aphid-ResNetSwin: An Image Recognition Method with Improved Attention Mechanism for Graded Identification of <i>Myzus persicae</i>

Spatiotemporal patterns induced by four mechanisms in a tussock sedge model with discrete time and space variables

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the spatiotemporal patterns of a freshwater tussock sedge model with discrete time and space variables. We first analyze the kinetic system and show the parametric conditions for flip and Neimark–Sacke...

Deeply Exploiting Long-Term View Dependency for 3D Shape Recognition

Recognition of 3D shapes is a fundamental task in computer vision. In recent years, view-based deep learning has emerged as an effective approach for 3D shape recognition. Most existing view-based methods treat the views of an object as an ...

Overcomplete graph convolutional denoising autoencoder for noisy skeleton action recognition

Abstract Current skeleton‐based action recognition methods usually assume the input skeleton is complete and noise‐free. However, it is inevitable that the captured skeletons are incomplete due to occlusions or noisy due to changes in the e...

SFCN: Symmetric feature comparison network for detecting ischemic stroke lesions on CT images

Abstract Ischemic stroke is the most common stroke and the leading cause of disability and death in the world. Computed tomography (CT) is a popular and economical diagnostic device for the stroke, However the ischemic stroke lesions are no...
