MCCA-VNet: A Vit-Based Deep Learning Approach for Micro-Expression Recognition Based on Facial Coding.

In terms of facial expressions, micro-expressions are more realistic than macro-expressions and provide more valuable information, which can be widely used in psychological counseling and clinical diagnosis. In the past few years, deep learning methods based on optical flow and Transformer have achieved excellent results in this field, but most of the current algorithms are mainly concentrated on establishing a serialized token through the self-attention model, and they do not take into account the spatial relationship between facial landmarks. For the locality and changes in the micro-facial conditions themselves, we propose the deep learning model MCCA-VNET on the basis of Transformer.

Adaptive Kernel Convolutional Stereo Matching Recurrent Network.

For binocular stereo matching techniques, the most advanced method currently is using an iterative structure based on GRUs. Methods in this class have shown high performance on both high-resolution images and standard benchmarks. However, simply replacing cost aggregation with a GRU iterative method leads to the original cost volume for disparity calculation lacking non-local geometric and contextual information.

An Improved TransMVSNet Algorithm for Three-Dimensional Reconstruction in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Remote Sensing Domain.

It is important to achieve the 3D reconstruction of UAV remote sensing images in deep learning-based multi-view stereo (MVS) vision. The lack of obvious texture features and detailed edges in UAV remote sensing images leads to inaccurate feature point matching or depth estimation. To address this problem, this study improves the TransMVSNet algorithm in the field of 3D reconstruction by optimizing its feature extraction network and costumed body depth prediction network.

Single-Frame Infrared Image Non-Uniformity Correction Based on Wavelet Domain Noise Separation.

In the context of non-uniformity correction (NUC) within infrared imaging systems, current methods frequently concentrate solely on high-frequency stripe non-uniformity noise, neglecting the impact of global low-frequency non-uniformity on image quality, and are susceptible to ghosting artifacts from neighboring frames. In response to such challenges, we propose a method for the correction of non-uniformity in single-frame infrared images based on noise separation in the wavelet domain. More specifically, we commence by decomposing the noisy image into distinct frequency components through wavelet transformation.

Deep Learning Based Real-Time Semantic Segmentation of Cerebral Vessels and Cranial Nerves in Microvascular Decompression Scenes.

Automatic extraction of cerebral vessels and cranial nerves has important clinical value in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) and hemifacial spasm (HFS). However, because of the great similarity between different cerebral vessels and between different cranial nerves, it is challenging to segment cerebral vessels and cranial nerves in real time on the basis of true-color microvascular decompression (MVD) images. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, fast semantic segmentation Microvascular Decompression Network (MVDNet) for MVD scenarios which achieves a good trade-off between segmentation accuracy and speed.

Deep Neural Network-Based Semantic Segmentation of Microvascular Decompression Images.

Image semantic segmentation has been applied more and more widely in the fields of satellite remote sensing, medical treatment, intelligent transportation, and virtual reality. However, in the medical field, the study of cerebral vessel and cranial nerve segmentation based on true-color medical images is in urgent need and has good research and development prospects. We have extended the current state-of-the-art semantic-segmentation network DeepLabv3+ and used it as the basic framework.

Comparison of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma and Chitosan in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to study the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injected into the upper cavity of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) on the treatment of TMJ osteoarthritis.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 27 patients with TMJ osteoarthritis treated at the China Medical University Hospital of Stomatology from September 2018 to September 2019. Maximal interincisal opening, pain intensity, and TMJ sounds were recorded and compared before treatment and at the 3rd and 6th months after the treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical value of sialendoscopy in the treatment of Stensen's duct injury.

Patients And Methods: A total of 5 patients with Stensen's duct injuries who had been treated from December 2017 to April 2019 were included in the present study. The operations were performed with the help of a sialendoscope.

Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections on Pain Reduction in Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthrosis: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Aims: To study the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections on pain reduction in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA).

Statistical Scene-Based Non-Uniformity Correction Method with Interframe Registration.

The non-uniform response in infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) detectors inevitably produces corrupted images with a fixed-pattern noise. In this paper, we present a novel and adaptive scene-based non-uniformity correction (NUC) method called Correction method with Statistical scene-based and Interframe Registration (CSIR) , which realizes low delay calculation of correction coefficient for infrared image. This method combines the statistical method and registration method to achieve a better NUC performance.

Expression and influence of BMP-4 in human dental pulp cells cultured .

Effects of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-4 on proliferation and differentiation capacities of dental pulp cells through BMP-4 acting on human dental pulp cells cultured were investigated. Dental pulp tissues of lesion-free teeth extracted from patients due to orthodontics were taken, and human dental pulp cells were cultured using the tissue explant method. Immunocytochemical staining was used for the identification of vimentin and keratin.
