Low-resolution medical images can seriously interfere with the medical diagnosis, and poor image quality can lead to loss of detailed information. Therefore, improving the quality of medical images and accelerating the reconstruction is of particular importance for diagnosis. To solve this problem, we propose a wavelet-based mini-grid network medical image super-resolution (WMSR) method, which is similar to the three-layer hidden-layer-based super-resolution convolutional neural network (SRCNN) method. Due to the amplification characteristics of wavelets, a stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is used instead of a discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Also, due to the nature of redundant (scale-by-scale) wavelets, it is possible to retain additional information about the image and restore high-resolution images in detail. For a large amount of training data, wavelet sub-band images, including approximation and frequency subbands are combined into a predefined full-scale factor. The mapping between the wavelet sub-band image and its approximate image is then determined. In order to ensure the reproducibility of the image, a method of adding a sub-pixel layer is proposed to realize the hidden layer, and replacing the small mini-grid-network on the hidden layer is of considerable significance to speed up the image recovery speed. Experimental results on the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) show that the model has better performance.

This paper analyzes the mechanism of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks initiated by hackers from the perspective of computer networks. In order to effectively estimate the performance error generated by the T-S fuzzy networked control systems (NCSs) under DoS attacks, we transform the performance error estimation (PEE) problem into the one of finding ellipsoid constraints $\mathfrak {J}(P_{i})$. First, improved Lyapunov-Krasovskii functions (LKFs) based on fuzzy membership functions (FMFs) are constructed, which combine the characteristics of nonlinear problems in the system to reduce the initial constraints. Then, a second-order weight method (SOWM) is introduced to divide the time interval of sampling meticulously. Besides, the information stored in the LKFs is enhanced. Furthermore, we construct the novel looped functions by relying on the SOWM. Next, a suitable integral elastic event trigger mechanism (EIETM) is established to ensure that the performance errors caused by the attacks are estimated. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by a two-degree-of-freedom helicopter system (2-DoF HS).
The scattering of atmospheric particles significantly alters images captured under hazy weather condition. Images appear distorted, blurry and low in contrast attenuation, which extensively affects computer vision systems. There has been development of several prior based methods to address this problem. However, these methods come at a high computational cost. We present a fast, single image dehazing method based on dark channel prior and Rayleigh scattering. Firstly, we present a simple but effective methodology for estimating the atmospheric light through the computation of average, minimum and maximum of the pixels in each of the three RGB colour channels. Then, using the theory of Rayleigh scattering, we model a scattering coefficient to estimate the initial transmission map. Also, a fast-guided filter is adopted to refine the initial transmission map due to inaccurate halo edges. Finally, we restore the haze-free image through the atmospheric scattering model. Extensive qualitative and computational experiments on hazy outdoor images demonstrate that the proposed method produces excellent results whiles achieving a faster processing time.
