In order to deal with nonuniform sampling space and lead to super resolution in the elevation direction, Capon approach is used to focus the SAR data on a certain height. Results obtained on simulated data demonstrate the feasibility of the Capon based algorithm. Compared with the classical Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the Capon based algo-rithm shows better resolution quality.展开更多

Methods： Magnetic resonance images of 286 healthy adults, including 127 males and 159 females, and ranging in age from 20 to 81 years, were investigated. They were classified into 5 age groups （ 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60-81 years old）. Corresponding to the age group sequence above, the male/female ratio of each group respectively was： 25/26, 26/33, 33/50, 32/36, and 11/14. The following dimensions of corpus callosum were systematically measured on the midsagittal Tl-weighted images： frontal to occipital pole （represented as line segment AB）, total longitudinal dimension of the corpus callosum （CD）, the maximum height （EF）, the widths of the genu （CX）, anterior one third （GH）, central region （EZ）, posterior one third （MN） and splenium （YD）. After that, the obtained data was analyzed statistically. Results： （1） The total longitudinal dimension, maximum height, widths of the genu, central region and splenium were proved to be larger in females. But the widths of the anterior one third and posterior one third were similar in-between. In spite of that, a conspicuous sex-related difference was not found. （2） The total longitudinal dimension and the maximum height of the corpus callosum remained stable in all age subgroups. Yet the widths of the genu, anterior one third, central region, posterior one third and splenium had a tendency of decreasing gradually with aging. Statistical difference was seen in the anterior one third, central region, posterior one third （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： There is no sex-related difference in all dimensions of corpus callosum. But, with aging, a significant difference is found in the widths of the anterior one third, central region and posterior one third.展开更多

A novel thermal infrared salient human detection model combined with thermal features called TFSHD is proposed. The TFSHD model is still based on U-Net,but the decoder module structure and model lightweight have been redesigned. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the algorithm in complex scenes,a fusion module composed of thermal branch and saliency branch is added to the decoder of the TFSHD model. Furthermore,a predictive loss function that is more sensitive to high temperature regions of the image is designed. Additionally,for the sake of reducing the computing resource requirements of the algorithm,a model lightweight scheme that includes simplifying the encoder network structure and controlling the number of decoder channels is adopted. The experimental results on four data sets show that the proposed method can not only ensure high detection accuracy and robustness of the algorithm,but also meet the needs of real-time detection of patrol robots with detection speed above 40 f/s.展开更多
