A set of non-configurable transversely-displaced masks has been designed and fabricated to generate high-quality X-ray illumination patterns for use in imaging techniques such as ghost imaging (GI), ghost projection, and speckle tracking. The designs include a range of random binary and orthogonal patterns, fabricated through a combination of photolithography and gold electroplating techniques. We experimentally demonstrated that a single wafer can be used as an illumination mask for GI, employing individual illumination patterns and also a mixture of patterns, using a laboratory X-ray source. The quality of the reconstructed X-ray ghost images has been characterized and evaluated through a range of metrics.

TCSRNet: a lightweight tobacco leaf curing stage recognition network model.

Front Plant Sci

December 2024

Jiangxi Branch of China National Tobacco Corporation, Nanchang, China.

Due to the constraints of the tobacco leaf curing environment and computational resources, current image classification models struggle to balance recognition accuracy and computational efficiency, making practical deployment challenging. To address this issue, this study proposes the development of a lightweight classification network model for recognizing tobacco leaf curing stages (TCSRNet). Firstly, the model utilizes an Inception structure with parallel convolutional branches to capture features at different receptive fields, thereby better adapting to the appearance variations of tobacco leaves at different curing stages.

Chemotherapy is essential for treating tumors, including head and neck cancer (HNC). However, the toxic side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs limit their widespread use. Therefore, a targeted delivery system that can transport the drug to the pathological site while minimizing damage to healthy tissues is urgently needed.

The intelligent identification of wear particles in ferrography is a critical bottleneck that hampers the development and widespread adoption of ferrography technology. To address challenges such as false detection, missed detection of small wear particles, difficulty in distinguishing overlapping and similar abrasions, and handling complex image backgrounds, this paper proposes an algorithm called TCBGY-Net for detecting wear particles in ferrography images. The proposed TCBGY-Net uses YOLOv5s as the backbone network, which is enhanced with several advanced modules to improve detection performance.

This study presents a cutting-edge imaging technique for special unmanned vehicles (UAVs) designed to enhance tunnel inspection capabilities. This technique integrates ghost imaging inspired by the human visual system with lateral inhibition and variable resolution to improve environmental perception in challenging conditions, such as poor lighting and dust. By emulating the high-resolution foveal vision of the human eye, this method significantly enhances the efficiency and quality of image reconstruction for fine targets within the region of interest (ROI).

 The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity and inter-reader reliability of previously known "ghost sign" and "penumbra sign" on T1-weighted (T1W) imaging and "ghost sign" on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map in osteomyelitis (OM) of the extremities.  In this cross-sectional retrospective study, two fellowship-trained musculoskeletal readers blinded to final diagnosis of OM versus no OM were asked to report the penumbra sign and ghost sign on T1W images and ghost sign on ADC map, as well as diagnosis of OM. Cohen's kappa was used.
