Brain-Inspired Fast Saliency-Based Filtering Algorithm for Ship Detection in High-Resolution SAR Images
In this article, we aim to improve the performance of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) ship detection under complex conditions. The complex backgrounds are commonly encountered for high-resolution (HR) SAR ship detection data set, and they greatly influence the detection performance of ships. In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) have made substantial improvements on detection by adopting data augmentation. However, the improvement is limited since the models are sensitive to noise. To address this problem, a Fast Saliency-based Filtering algorithm (FSF) is proposed to filter out interference information. The FSF method is inspired by the filtering mechanisms of the human brain, which help people filter out target-irrelevant information fast to better extract target-relevant information. The FSF includes two parts of the bottom-up process and the top-down process. The bottom-up process is used to extract a saliency map of an input image, and the other one is used to filter out target-irrelevant information based on the saliency map. The FSF can be a front-end preprocessing module of DNNs to fast filter out target-irrelevant information and obtain a primary priority map of an input image. Experimental results demonstrate that our brain-inspired FSF method obtains obvious improvement of detection performance on AIR-SARShip-1.0.</p
AMF-Net: An adaptive multisequence fusing neural network for multi-modality brain tumor diagnosis
To precisely diagnose the brain tumor types and grades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is a kind of multisequence imaging technology, is usually applied. However, with the limitations of databases, most current computer-aided brain tumor diagnosis methods employ only a single MRI sequence, and the generalizability of these methods is not ideal. To improve the brain tumor diagnosis performance, an adaptive multisequence fusing neural network (AMF-Net), which can merge the characteristics of different MRI sequences with adaptive weights, is proposed. Inspired by the approximate horizontal symmetry of brains and manual diagnosis process, normalized horizontal differential images are adopted as the spatial attention mechanism, and dense skip connections from T2-weighted (T2-W) sequences are implemented to emphasize the importance of the T2-W sequences. Moreover, to adaptively combine different MRI sequences, an innovative self-learning mechanism, namely adaptive sequence fusion (ASF) module, is proposed. The experimental results show that the average accuracies of the AMF-Net on two databases reach 98.1% and 92.1%, respectively, and the application of the proposed spatial attention mechanism and the ASF module can improve the average accuracy on two databases by 1.7%/1.7% and 1.3%/2.1%, respectively, which indicates that the proposed spatial attention mechanism and the ASF module can improve the performance for brain tumor diagnosis tasks

A Quality-Related Fault Detection Method Based on the Dynamic Data-Driven Algorithm for Industrial Systems
For nearly a decade, quality-related fault detection algorithms have been widely used in industrial systems. However, the majority of these detection strategies rely on static assumptions of the operating environment. In this paper, taking the time series of variables into consideration, a dynamic kernel entropy component regression (DKECR) framework is proposed to address the instability of quality-related fault detection due to the existing dynamic characteristics. Compared with the typical kernel entropy component analysis method, the proposed method constructs the relationship between process states and quality states to further interpret the direct effect on the product taken by the fault. In the proposed approach, process measurements are converted to a lower-dimensional subspace with a specific angular structure that is more comprehensive than traditional subspace approaches. In addition, the angular statistics and their relevant thresholds are exploited to enhance the quality-related fault detection performance. Finally, the proposed method will be compared with three methods by means of a numerical example and two industrial scenarios to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.</p
Bubble-based microrobots enable digital assembly of heterogeneous microtissue modules
The specific spatial distribution of tissue generates a heterogeneous micromechanical environment that provides ideal conditions for diverse functions such as regeneration and angiogenesis. However, to manufacture microscale multicellular heterogeneous tissue modules in vitro and then assemble them into specific functional units is still a challenging task. In this study, a novel method for the digital assembly of heterogeneous microtissue modules is proposed. This technique utilizes the flexibility of digital micromirror device-based optical projection lithography and the manipulability of bubble-based microrobots in a liquid environment. The results indicate that multicellular microstructures can be fabricated by increasing the inlets of the microfluidic chip. Upon altering the exposure time, the Young's modulus of the entire module and different regions of each module can be fine-tuned to mimic normal tissue. The surface morphology, mechanical properties, and internal structure of the constructed bionic peritoneum were similar to those of the real peritoneum. Overall, this work demonstrates the potential of this system to produce and control the posture of modules and simulate peritoneal metastasis using reconfigurable manipulation
Field of experts regularized nonlocal low rank matrix approximation for image denoising
The restoration of image degraded by noise is an essential preprocessing step for various imaging technologies. Nonlocal low rank matrix approximation has been successfully applied to image denoising due to the capability of recovering the underlying low rank structures. Unfortunately, existing rank minimization models ignore the correlation among image patches and their performance is degraded when encountering the heavy noise. To address this, we propose a field of experts regularized nonlocal low rank matrix approximation (RFoE) denoising model, which integrates a global field of experts (FoE) regularization, a fidelity term, and a nonlocal low rank constraint into a unified framework. The weighted nuclear norm is adopted as the low rank constraint while the FoE prior is utilized to capture the global structure information. An alternating direction minimization algorithm based on half quadratic splitting can effectively solve this model. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed RFoE model has a superior performance.</p

Residual Stress Distribution and Dynamic Stress Variation in Aluminum Alloy Round Rods after Laser Shock Peening
Laser shock peening is an advanced surface treatment technology that can significantly improve the performance of metallic components. To study the residual stress distribution and the propagation law of the dynamic stress in a round rod structure after laser shock peening, a laser shock peening finite element model was established for aluminum alloy round rod fatigue test samples. The residual stress distribution of the sample after laser shock peening with different spot sizes was analyzed in three directions. The propagation law of the dynamic stress was analyzed by a simulation of the dynamic stress change process. The accuracy of the model was experimentally verified. The results showed that as the spot size increased, the range of surface residual stress gradually increased in the axial direction. The degree of residual stress range increase in the circumference direction was smaller than the increase in the axial direction. The convergence of the unloaded tensile stress wave and the reflected tensile stress wave led to the formation of tensile residual stress in the round rod center. The compressive stress generated at the impact edge increased the final compressive residual stress. As the spot size decreased, the fatigue life of the samples increased. These conclusions can not only guide the selection of process parameters for a curved surface structure but also provide a reference for the analysis of the laser-induced shock wave propagation mechanism for specific structures.</p
Amplitude of undulating fin in the vicinity of a wall: Influence of unsteady wall effect on marine propulsion
To investigate the role of the amplitude of an object under the unsteady wall effect in fluid dynamics, we modelled an undulating fin near a wall in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The fin was tethered in a uniform flow and controlled by a user-defined function program. The unsteady wall effect improved the propulsion force and propulsion efficiency at different amplitudes, but the lift force behaved differently. We determined the critical amplitude for the model, below which the lift force is positive within an appropriate off wall distance range. At amplitudes larger than the critical amplitude and as the off-wall distance decreases, the average lift force is, however, always negative, causing the undulating fin to overturn towards the wall and lose stability. The essence of propulsion and lift variation lies in the change in the shape of the space between the wall and the fin, which affects the fluid flow structure and pressure distribution. In addition, some interesting phenomena related to the vortex core arrangement and pressure distribution were introduced at different amplitudes caused by the unsteady wall effect. The present results may provide new insights into the behaviours of benthic fish, reducing their undulating amplitudes and pitch angles near walls
