Optical performance monitoring (OPM) underpins quality of transmission in modern elastic optical networks. This paper introduces MT-OPMNet, a multi-task deep learning framework for joint optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) estimation and modulation format identification (MFI) from asynchronous amplitude histog...

Generative models that maximize model likelihood have gained traction in many practical settings. Among them, perturbation-based approaches underpin many state-of-the-art likelihood estimation models, yet they often face slow convergence and limited theoretical understanding. In this paper, we derive a...

The images captured by Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) always exhibit specular reflections, and removing highlights while preserving the color and texture in the region remains a challenge. To address this issue, this paper proposes a highlight removal method for capsule endoscopy images.&#...

To address the issue of increased triangulation uncertainty caused by selecting views with small camera baselines in Structure from Motion (SFM) view selection, this paper proposes a robust error-resistant view selection method. The method utilizes a triangulation-based computation to obtain an&#...

In this paper, we present an autonomous control system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), specifically designed to inspect a detected suspicious vessel and capture information-rich images in a maritime environment. The maritime environment is ever-changing and uncertain, making it challenging t...

In Visual SLAM, achieving accurate feature matching consumes a significant amount of time, severely impacting the real-time performance of the system. This paper proposes an accelerated method for Visual SLAM by integrating GMS (Grid-based Motion Statistics) with RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus)&...

To address the issue of feature descriptors being ineffective in representing grayscale feature information when images undergo high affine transformations, leading to a rapid decline in feature matching accuracy, this paper proposes a region feature descriptor based on simulating affine transfor...

To address the poor performance of navigation line extraction for agricultural robots in complex open-field corn (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) environments during the 6–8 leaf growth stage, this study proposes an accurate and efficient navigation baseline extraction method based on an imp...
