Quantisation‐based target detection for cooperative multiple input multiple output radar and communications with multiple stations by Zhen Wang, Qian He

“…Three strategies for the quantisation and fusion are considered, where for the first method, local sensors quantise their test statistics, which are linearly fused at the FC (quantising test statistics and linear combination fusion), for the second method, the test statistics are quantised at the local sensors and optimally fused at the FC (quantising test statistics and optimal fusion), and for the third method, the received signals are quantizsd at the local sensors and optimally fused at the FC (quantising received signals and optimal fusion). …”

GeoAT: Geometry-Aware Attention Feature Matching Network by Yan Li, Yingdan Wu, Yang Ming, Yong Zhang, Zhesheng Cheng

“…To address this, we propose a geometry-aware attention-based matching method called GeoAT. This method leverages low-resolution image features to obtain global geometric constraint information between images and uses an affine transformation matrix to guide the subsequent attention computation on high-resolution features, achieving efficient and accurate matching in a coarse-to-fine manner. …”

Identification of Nanoparticle Agglomeration in Polymer Plates Reinforced with Carbon Nanotubes by Use of Active Thermography and Deep Learning-Based Image Processing by Mazharul Islam, Raihan Sarker

“…An eight-layer DCNN framework was implemented using three different window sizes of 41×41, 51×51, and 61×61 pixels, which was trained using 175,598 segments of images, of which 85% was made available for training, while 15% was used for evaluation. Compared to conventional thermographic inspection methods that rely on manual interpretation, the proposed approach enhances defect detection by combining active infrared imaging with deep learning, providing automated, high-resolution classification of nanoparticle agglomeration zones for more accurate and scalable evaluation of nanocomposites.…”
