Image dehazing method based on haze-line and color attenuation prior by Miao LIAO, Yan LU, Jin ZHANG, Yuqian ZHAO, Shuanhu DI

“…To solve the problems caused by the existing image dehazing methods, such as color over-saturation, detail loss, and artifacts, a dehazing method was proposed based on haze-line and color attenuation prior.Firstly, haze-line prior and Hough vote were used to estimate the atmospheric light.Then, a nonlinear model on scene depth was constructed according to color attenuation prior theory to achieve transmission accurately.Finally, the haze was removed from the image by inversely solving the atmospheric scattering model, so as to obtain the dehazed image with rich details.The proposed method was tested on public RESIDE dataset in comparison with many existing methods.Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively remove the haze from image and obtain a clear and natural dehazed image, which has higher time and space efficiency than other methods.…”

The Evolution of the Concept of Prison in Viktor Pelevin’s Works by Tomas Čenys

“…Using the evolution of the heroes as a model, the article shows how in Pelevin’s early stories the prison becomes a place from which one can escape, a metaphor for Soviet and post-Soviet society of the 90s, and the heroes of early Pelevin are able to escape with the help of their connection to culture and clues scattered in the surrounding world. The heroes of the story Stolypin – oligarchs, in spite of staying within the same student–teacher paradigm, represent a deconstruction of their predecessors, devoid of any interests other than mercantile ones, and in many ways parody the heroes of The Yellow Arrow and Hermit and the Six-Toes. …”

Survey of the research and development on the maritime communication technology by Hao DONG, Liang SONG, Cunqing HUA, Lingya LIU, Junhua TANG

“…With the increasing frequency of maritime activities, the development of the maritime communication technology plays an important role.However, due to the complex and changeable maritime environment and the inconsistent communication system standards, the development of maritime communications has significantly lagged.Firstly, maritime communications were divided into four main components, including airspace, land, sea, and crossdomain coordination, according to the difference in communication methods.Then, the development process and research status on a global scale were summarized from the industrial and academic perspectives.Moreover, the main problems existing in the maritime communication were analyzed based on the connections and differences between the different systems.Finally, the technical challenges in the new generation of maritime communication systems were specifically elaborated, including the study of wave motion models learning, maritime channel modeling, atmospheric duct effects, and microwave scattering effects.…”

GPU-Accelerated Finite Element Method for Modelling Light Transport in Diffuse Optical Tomography by Martin Schweiger

“…We introduce a GPU-accelerated finite element forward solver for the computation of light transport in scattering media. The forward model is the computationally most expensive component of iterative methods for image reconstruction in diffuse optical tomography, and performance optimisation of the forward solver is therefore crucial for improving the efficiency of the solution of the inverse problem. …”
