In view of the poor performance of traditional feature point detection methods in low-texture situations, we design a new self-supervised feature extraction network that can be applied to the visual odometer (VO) front-end feature extraction module based on the deep learning method. First, the network uses the feature pyramid structure to perform m...

In recent years, deep learning has made brilliant achievements in Environmental Microorganism (EM) image classification. However, image classification of small EM datasets has still not obtained good research results. Therefore, researchers need to spend a lot of time searching for models with good classification performance and suitable for the cu...

Due to the high heterogeneity of brain tumors, automatic segmentation of brain tumors remains a challenging task. In this paper, we propose RDAU-Net by adding dilated feature pyramid blocks with 3D CBAM blocks and inserting 3D CBAM blocks after skip-connection layers. Moreover, a CBAM with channel attention and spatial attention facilitates the com...

The phase sensitivity of photonic NOON states scales O(1/N), which reaches the Heisenberg limit and indicates a great potential in high-quality optical phase sensing. However, the NOON states with large photon number N are experimentally difficult both to prepare and to operate. Such a fact severely limits their practical use. In this article, we s...

In the medical imaging domain, deep learning-based methods have yet to see widespread clinical adoption, in part due to limited generalization performance across different imaging devices and acquisition protocols. The deviation between estimated brain age and biological age is an established biomarker of brain health and such models may benefit fr...

The problem of the automatic determination of the first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) from cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) still leads to controversy. The reliability of the gold standard methodology (i.e. expert visual inspection) feeds into the debate and several authors call for more objective automatic methods to be used ...

Background Magnetic resonance (MR) images generated by different scanners generally have inconsistent contrast properties, making it difficult to perform a combined quantitative analysis of images from a range of scanners. In this study, we aimed to develop an automatic brain image segmentation model to provide a more reliable analysis of MR images...

Acute brainstem infarctions can lead to serious functional impairments. We aimed to predict functional outcomes in patients with acute brainstem infarction using deep neuroimaging features extracted by convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This nationwide multicenter stroke registry study included 1482 patients with acute brainstem infarction. We a...

Maintaining accurate and fast transient stability is essential for safe operation of the power system. With the development of wide-area measurement system, machine learning–based transient stability assessment has become the trend. However, in realistic application of the power system, the impacts on evaluation rules between critical samples and n...

The mortality risk factors for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) must be early predicted, especially for severe cases, to provide intensive care before they develop to critically ill immediately. This paper aims to develop an optimized convolution neural network (CNN) for predicting mortality risk factors for COVID-19 patients. The proposed model supp...
