In the absence of paralysis compensation, noise in basis material images shows sharp increases at moderate flux (near the characteristic count rate) due to contrast inversion and again at high flux. The pileup trigger reduces noise at high flux but does not eliminate contrast inversion. The retrigger architecture eliminates contrast inversion but does not reduce noise at high flux. Our proposed retrigger architecture with dedicated secondary counters reduce noise at both moderate and high flux.Computer-aided translation tools based on translation memories are widely used to assist professional translators. A translation memory (TM) consists of a set of translation units (TU) made up of source- and target-language segment pairs. For the translation of a new source segment s', these tools search the TM and retrieve the TUs (s,t) whose source segments are more similar to s'. The translator then chooses a TU and edit the target segment t to turn it into an adequate translation of s'. Fuzzy-match repair (FMR) techniques can be used to automatically modify the parts of t that need to be edited. We describe a language-independent FMR method that first uses machine translation to generate, given s' and (s,t), a set of candidate fuzzy-match repaired segments, and then chooses the best one by estimating their quality. An evaluation on three different language pairs shows that the selected candidate is a good approximation to the best (oracle) candidate produced and is closer to reference translations than machine-translated segments and unrepaired fuzzy matches (t). In addition, a single quality estimation model trained on a mix of data from all the languages performs well on any of the languages used.Generative adversarial networks conditioned on textual image descriptions are capable of generating realistic-looking images. However, current methods still struggle to generate images based on complex image captions from a heterogeneous domain. Furthermore, quantitatively evaluating these text-to-image models is challenging, as most evaluation metrics only judge image quality but not the conformity between the image and its caption. To address these challenges we introduce a new model that explicitly models individual objects within an image and a new evaluation metric called Semantic Object Accuracy (SOA) that specifically evaluates images given an image caption. The SOA uses a pre-trained object detector to evaluate if a generated image contains objects that are mentioned in the image caption, e.g. whether an image generated from "a car driving down the street" contains a car. We perform a user study comparing several text-to-image models and show that our SOA metric ranks the models the same way as humans, whereas other metrics such as the Inception Score do not. Our evaluation also shows that models which explicitly model objects outperform models which only model global image characteristics.Super-Resolution convolutional neural networks have recently demonstrated high-quality restoration for single images. However, existing algorithms often require very deep architectures and long training times. Furthermore, current convolutional neural networks for super-resolution are unable to exploit features at multiple scales and weigh them equally or at only static scale only, limiting their learning capability. In this exposition, we present a compact and accurate super-resolution algorithm, namely, Densely Residual Laplacian Network (DRLN). The proposed network employs cascading residual on the residual structure to allow the flow of low-frequency information to focus on learning high and mid-level features. In addition, deep supervision is achieved via the densely concatenated residual blocks settings, which also helps in learning from high-level complex features. Moreover, we propose Laplacian attention to model the crucial features to learn the inter and intra-level dependencies between the feature maps. Furthermore, comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations on low-resolution, noisy low-resolution, and real historical image benchmark datasets illustrate that our DRLN algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods visually and accurately.High-quality reconstruction of 3D geometry and texture plays a vital role in providing immersive perception of the real world. Additionally, online computation enables the practical usage of 3D reconstruction for interaction. We present an RGBD-based globally-consistent dense 3D reconstruction approach, accompanying high-resolution ( less then 1 cm) geometric reconstruction and high-quality (the spatial resolution of the RGB image) texture mapping, both of which work online using the CPU computing of a portable device merely. For geometric reconstruction, we introduce a sparse voxel sampling scheme employing the continuous nature of surfaces in 3D space, reducing more than 95% of the computational burden compared with conventional volumetric fusion approaches. For online texture mapping, we propose a simplified incremental MRF solver, which utilizes previous optimization results for faster convergence, and an efficient reference-based color adjustment scheme for texture optimization. Quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that our online scheme achieves a more realistic visualization of the environment with more abundant details, while taking more compact memory consumption and much lower computational complexity than existing solutions.

This paper develops a novel approach for fast and reliable reconstruction of EEG sources in MRI-based head models.

The inverse EEG problem is reduced to the Cauchy problem for an elliptic partial-derivative equation. The problem is transformed into a regularized minimax problem, which is directly approximated in a finite-element space. The resulting numerical method is efficient and easy to program. It eliminates the need to solve forward problems, which can be a tedious task. The method applies to complex anatomical head models, possibly containing holes in surfaces, anisotropic conductivity, and conductivity variations inside each tissue. Ribociclib in vivo The method has been verified on a spherical shell model and an MRI-based head.

Numerical experiments indicate high accuracy of localization of brain activations (both cortical potential and current) and rapid execution time.

This study demonstrates that the proposed approach is feasible for EEG source analysis and can serve as a rapid and reliable tool for EEG source analysis.
