Recently, unsupervised learning is proposed to avoid the performance degrading caused by synthesized paired computed tomography (CT) images. However, existing unsupervised methods for metal artifact reduction (MAR) only use features in image space, which is not enough to restore regions heavily corrupted by metal artifacts. Besides, they lack the distinction and selection for effective features. To address these issues, we propose an attention-embedded decomposed network to reduce metal artifacts in both image space and sinogram space with unpaired images.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) often rely on GPS for navigation. GPS signals, however, are very low in power and easily jammed or otherwise disrupted. This paper presents a method for determining the navigation errors present at the beginning of a GPS-denied period utilizing data from a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system. This is accomplished by comparing an online-generated SAR image with a reference image obtained a priori.

Microphone array calibration is required to accurately capture the information in an audio source recording. Existing calibration methods require expensive hardware and setup procedures to compute filters for correcting microphone responses. Typically, such methods struggle to extend measurement accuracy to low frequencies. As a result, the error due to microphone gain mismatch propagates to all the modes in the spherical harmonic domain representation of a signal.

Visualizing the features captured by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is one of the conventional approaches to interpret the predictions made by these models in numerous image recognition applications. Grad-CAM is a popular solution that provides such a visualization by combining the activation maps obtained from the model.However, the average gradient-based terms deployed in this method under-estimates the contribution of the representations discovered by the model to its predictions.

Explainable AI (XAI) is an active research area to interpret a neural network’s decision by ensuring transparency and trust in the task-specified learned models.Recently,perturbation-based model analysis has shown better interpretation, but back-propagation techniques are still prevailing because of their computational efficiency. In this work, we combine both approaches as a hybrid visual explanation algorithm and propose an efficient interpretation method for convolutional neural networks.

Existing physical model-based imaging methods for ultrasound elasticity reconstruction utilize fixed variational regularizers that may not be appropriate for the application of interest or may not capture complex spatial prior information about the underlying tissues. On the other hand, end-to-end learning-based methods count solely on the training data, not taking advantage of the governing physical laws of the imaging system.

Hypernasality refers to the perception of abnormal nasal resonances in vowels and voiced consonants. Estimation of hypernasality severity from connected speech samples involves learning a mapping between the frame-level features and utterance-level clinical ratings of hypernasality. However, not all speech frames contribute equally to the perception of hypernasality.
