Using Super-Resolution for Enhancing Visual Perception and Segmentation Performance in Veterinary Cytology.

The primary objective of this research was to enhance the quality of semantic segmentation in cytology images by incorporating super-resolution (SR) architectures. An additional contribution was the development of a novel dataset aimed at improving imaging quality in the presence of inaccurate focus. Our experimental results demonstrate that the integration of SR techniques into the segmentation pipeline can lead to a significant improvement of up to 25% in the mean average precision (mAP) metric.

Mapping Neural Networks to FPGA-Based IoT Devices for Ultra-Low Latency Processing.

Internet of things (IoT) infrastructure, fast access to knowledge becomes critical. In some application domains, such as robotics, autonomous driving, predictive maintenance, and anomaly detection, the response time of the system is more critical to ensure Quality of Service than the quality of the answer. In this paper, we propose a methodology, a set of predefined steps to be taken in order to map the models to hardware, especially field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), with the main focus on latency reduction.

Protection of Superconducting Industrial Machinery Using RNN-Based Anomaly Detection for Implementation in Smart Sensor.

Sensing the voltage developed over a superconducting object is very important in order to make superconducting installation safe. An increase in the resistive part of this voltage (quench) can lead to significant deterioration or even to the destruction of the superconducting device. Therefore, detection of anomalies in time series of this voltage is mandatory for reliable operation of superconducting machines.
