Gamma norm minimization based image denoising algorithm by Hongyan WANG, Tuo WANG, Mian PAN, Zumin WANG

“…Focusing on the issue of rather poor denoising performance of the traditional kernel norm minimization based method caused by the biased approximation of kernel norm to rank function,based on the low-rank theory,a gamma norm minimization based image denoising algorithm was developed.The noisy image was firstly divided into some overlapping patches via the proposed algorithm,and then several non-local image patches most similar to the current image patch were sought adaptively based on the structural similarity index to form the similar image patch matrix.Subsequently,the non-convex gamma norm could be exploited to obtain unbiased approximation of the matrix rank function such that the low-rank denoising model could be constructed.Finally,the obtained low-rank denoising optimization issue could be tackled on the basis of singular value decomposition,and therefore the denoised image patches could be re-constructed as a denoised image.Simulation results demonstrate that,compared to the existing state-of-the-art PID,NLM,BM3D,NNM,WNNM,DnCNN and FFDNet algorithms,the developed method can eliminate Gaussian noise more considerably and retrieve the original image details rather precisely.…”

Delay and energy minimization for MEC-based secure communication by Pinyi REN, Qian XU

“…Considering a physical-layer-security-aided confidential document transmission problem,a secure transmission strategy was proposed where the base station equipped with a mobile edge computing (MEC) server served as a relay to help compress,forward,and decompress.First,the Poisson point process was used to calculate the secure transmission probability for the scenario with multiple potential eavesdroppers.Then,a delay and energy minimization problem was formulated under a constraint on the two-hop secure transmission probability.The optimal compression and decompression scheme was obtained using the one-dimensional search combined with linear programming.Simulation results show that the document compression is necessary for the link with small achievable secrecy rate under a given secure transmission probability; otherwise,the document should be directly transmitted without compression.…”

Minimal architectures for landscape – The module as a tool for sustainability by Jorge Garcia Valldecabres, Daniela Besana

“…This paper argues for the opportunity to interpret building design as a circular process that can, at all stages, help designers find conscious and functional answers to the issue of the environmental impact of construction: this calls for a necessary review of the project’s performance requirements, which can find a possible complete and adequate answer in minimal modular architectures. It is indeed believed that the module in architecture can be designed, given the same basic minimum element, as flexible with respect to usage requirements, contexts and achievable performance. …”
