Purpose: Using computer-assisted means to process a large amount of heart image data in order to speed up the diagnosis efficiency and accuracy of medical doctors has become a research worthy of investigation.

Method: Based on the U-Net model, this paper proposes a multi-input fusion network (MIFNet) model based on multi-scale input and feature fusion, which automatically extracts and fuses features of different input scales to realize the detection of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images (CMRI). The MIFNet model is trained and verified on the public data set, and then compared with the segmentation models, namely the Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) and DeepLab v1.

Results: MIFNet model segmentation of CMRI significantly improved the segmentation accuracy, and the Dice value reached 97.238%. Compared with FCN and DeepLab v1, the average Hausdorff distance (HD) was reduced by 16.425%. The capacity parameter of FCN is 124.86% of MIFNet, DeepLab v1 is 103.22% of MIFNet.

Conclusion: Our proposed MIFNet model reduces the amount of parameters and improves the training speed while ensuring the simultaneous segmentation of overlapping targets. It can help clinicians to more quickly check the patient's CMRI focus area, and thereby improving the efficiency of diagnosis.

One of the precursors of lung cancer is the presence of lung nodules, and accurate identification of their benign or malignant nature is important for the long-term survival of patients. With the development of artificial intelligence, deep learning has become the main method for lung nodule classification. However, successful deep learning models usually require large number of parameters and carefully annotated data.

In recent years, significant progress has been witnessed in the field of deep learning-based object detection. As a subtask in the field of object detection, traffic sign detection has great potential for development. However, the existing object detection methods for traffic sign detection in real-world scenes are plagued by issues such as the omission of small objects and low detection accuracies.

Due to the limitations of single-source data, joint classification using multisource remote sensing data has received increasing attention. However, existing methods still have certain shortcomings when faced with feature extraction from single-source data and feature fusion between multisource data. In this article, a method based on multiscale interactive information extraction (MIFNet) for hyperspectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification is proposed.
