Remote sensing (RS) images contain a wealth of information with expansive potential for applications in image segmentation. However, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) face challenges in fully harnessing the global contextual information. Leveraging the formidable capabilities of global information modeling with Swin-Transformer, a novel RS images segmentation model with CNN (GLE-Net) was introduced.

Therefore, it is crucial to explore suitable methods to increase the resolution of MRI images. Recently, deep learning has yielded many impressive results in MRI image super-resolution (SR) reconstruction.

Aim: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the public health burden and brought profound disaster to humans. For the particularity of the COVID-19 medical images with blurred boundaries, low contrast and different infection sites, some researchers have improved the accuracy by adding more complexity. Also, they overlook the complexity of lesions, which hinder their ability to capture the relationship between segmentation sites and the background, as well as the edge contours and global context.

Super-resolution (SR) MR image reconstruction has shown to be a very promising direction to improve the spatial resolution of low-resolution (LR) MR images. In this paper, we presented a novel MR image SR method based on a dense convolutional neural network (DDSR), and its enhanced version called EDDSR. There are three major innovations: first, we re-designed dense modules to extract hierarchical features directly from LR images and propagate the extracted feature maps through dense connections.

First, the pretrained VGG19 is used to extract deep feature maps of medical images, which are fused into the feature image. Second, the feature image is transformed by Fourier transform, and low-frequency coefficients of the Fourier transform are selected to construct the feature matrix of the medical image.

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a fundamental and key step for implementing other tasks in bioinformatics, such as phylogenetic analyses, identification of conserved motifs and domains, structure prediction, etc. Despite the fact that there are many methods to implement MSA, biologically perfect alignment approaches are not found hitherto. This paper proposes a novel idea to perform MSA, where MSA is treated as a multiobjective optimization problem.
