The recognition of steel microstructure images plays a crucial role in the metallographic analysis process. Although some progress has been made through the application of artificial intelligence algorithms, several challenges remain. First, existing algorithms exhibit weak nonlinear feature extraction capabilities and noticeable limitations. Second, they overlook the intrinsic noise and redundant interference present in microscopic images. To address these issues, this paper investigates the automatic recognition of metallographic tissues by leveraging residual structures in deep neural networks. An enhanced residual network model based on transfer learning is proposed, which utilizes the pre-trained weights from the ImageNet dataset to facilitate learning with small sample data. This network offers higher classification accuracy and higher F1 scores. In addition, a deep residual shrinkage network model based on an attention mechanism is proposed. This model incorporates an attention sub-network into the original residual module and employs a soft threshold function to eliminate redundant features, including noise. The proposed algorithms are evaluated against various convolutional neural networks using 20 types of metallographic test sets. The experimental results showed that both methods have high accuracy rates of 95% and 94.44%, respectively, and F1 scores of 0.9464 and 0.9419. While maintaining the complexity of the model, there has been a significant improvement in accuracy, and the models exhibit strong generalization capabilities. Our research contributes to enhancing production efficiency, strengthening quality control, and improving material performance through computer vision technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The demands of high-quality videos captured by camera become bigger due to the rapid development of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. Video denoising is the key technology to obtain clear videos. However, the research on video denoising is far from enough now. In this paper, we propose a video denoising method based on convolutional neural network architecture to reduce the noise from the sensor system. We improve the loss function of noise estimation by imposing adaptive penalty on under-estimation error of noise level which makes our method perform robustly. Furthermore, we make use of multi-level features to guide the spatial denoising, where multilayer semantic information of the image is regarded as the perceptual loss. Instead of relying on Optical Flow solving the characterization of inter-frame information, we utilize U-Net-like structure to handle motion implicitly. It is less computationally expensive and avoids distortions caused by inaccurate flow and object occlusion. In order to locate temporal features and suppress useless information, the attention mechanism is introduced to the skip connections of the U-Net-like structure. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outputs more convincing results in both peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) indexes when processing Gaussian noise, synthetic real noise, and real noise compared with selected approaches.

The goal of computer-aided diagnosis is to predict patient's diseases based on patient's clinical data. The development of deep learning technology provides new help for clinical diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a new sequence generation model for multi-disease diagnosis prediction based on numerical feature transformation. Our model simultaneously uses patient's laboratory test results and clinical text as input to diagnose and predict the disease that the patient may have. According to medical knowledge, our model can transform numerical features into descriptive text features, thereby enriching the semantic information of clinical texts. Besides, our model uses attention-based sequence generation methods to achieve the diagnosis of multiple diseases and better utilizes the correlation information between multiple diseases. We evaluate our model's performance on a dataset of respiratory diseases from the real world, and experimental results show that our model's accuracy reaches 42.75%, and the F 1 score reaches 65.65%, which is better than many other methods. It is suitable for the accurate diagnosis of multiple diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
