As a classic and effective edge detection operator, the Sobel operator has been widely used in image segmentation and other image processing technologies. This operator has obvious advantages in the speed of extracting the edge of images, but it also has the disadvantage that the detection effect is not ideal when the image contains noise. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an optimized scheme for edge detection. In this scheme, the weighted nuclear norm minimization (WNNM) image denoising algorithm is combined with the Sobel edge detection algorithm, and the excellent denoising performance of the WNNM algorithm in a noise environment is utilized to improve the anti-noise performance of the Sobel operator. The experimental results show that the optimization algorithm can obtain better detection results when processing noisy images, and the advantages of the algorithm become more obvious with the increase of noise intensity.

The wide variety of crops in the image of agricultural products and the confusion with the surrounding environment information makes it difficult for traditional methods to extract crops accurately and efficiently. In this paper, an automatic extraction algorithm is proposed for crop images based on Mask RCNN. First, the Fruits 360 Dataset label is set with Labelme. Then, the Fruits 360 Dataset is preprocessed. Next, the data are divided into a training set and a test set. Additionally, an improved Mask RCNN network model structure is established using the PyTorch 1.8.1 deep learning framework, and path aggregation and features are added to the network design enhanced functions, optimized region extraction network, and feature pyramid network. The spatial information of the feature map is saved by the bilinear interpolation method in ROIAlign. Finally, the edge accuracy of the segmentation mask is further improved by adding a micro-fully connected layer to the mask branch of the ROI output, employing the Sobel operator to predict the target edge, and adding the edge loss to the loss function. Compared with FCN and Mask RCNN and other image extraction algorithms, the experimental results demonstrate that the improved Mask RCNN algorithm proposed in this paper is better in the precision, Recall, Average precision, Mean Average Precision, and F1 scores of crop image extraction results.

A new image recognition system based on multiple linear regression is proposed. Particularly, there are a number of innovations in image segmentation and recognition system. In image segmentation, an improved histogram segmentation method which can calculate threshold automatically and accurately is proposed. Meanwhile, the regional growth method and true color image processing are combined with this system to improve the accuracy and intelligence. While creating the recognition system, multiple linear regression and image feature extraction are utilized. After evaluating the results of different image training libraries, the system is proved to have effective image recognition ability, high precision, and reliability.

Symbiotic radio (SR) is a new paradigm of spectrum sharing that allows passive Internet-of-Things (IoT) device to transmit messages over the ambient RF signal. Considering that the reader needs to collect information from multiple IoT devices in practice, and the traditional multiple access schemes that require coordination among users are unaffordable for the passive devices, we propose a random code assisted multiple access scheme, in which each backscatter device (BD) independently chooses a random code to spread its signal and the incident signal is backscattered. To avoid the need of the instantaneous information, including the specific codes and the instantaneous channel state information of the backscatter links, and to optimize the transmit power and the BD reflection coefficients, we derive the asymptotic BD signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) by employing the large-dimension random matrix theory. We formulate the joint optimization problem to maximize the minimum asymptotic SINR among BDs with guaranteeing the primary target rate. By investigating the property of the problem, the original problem is transformed and solved by the proposed iterative-based algorithm. Extensive simulations are executed to verify our theoretical analysis and demonstrate the outperformance of the proposed algorithm.

Collaborative filtering (CF) has successfully achieved application in personalized recommendation systems. The singular value decomposition (SVD)++ algorithm is employed as an optimized SVD algorithm to enhance the accuracy of prediction by generating implicit feedback. However, the SVD++ algorithm is limited primarily by its low efficiency of calculation in the recommendation. To address this limitation of the algorithm, this study proposes a novel method to accelerate the computation of the SVD++ algorithm, which can help achieve more accurate recommendation results. The core of the proposed method is to conduct a backtracking line search in the SVD++ algorithm, optimize the recommendation algorithm, and find the optimal solution via the backtracking line search on the local gradient of the objective function. The algorithm is compared with the conventional CF algorithm in the FilmTrust, MovieLens 1 M and 10 M public datasets. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the root mean square error, absolute mean error and recall rate simulation results.

Recently, the residual learning strategy has been integrated into the convolutional neural network (CNN) for single image super-resolution (SISR), where the CNN is trained to estimate the residual images. Recognizing that a residual image usually consists of high-frequency details and exhibits cartoon-like characteristics, in this paper, we propose a deep shearlet residual learning network (DSRLN) to estimate the residual images based on the shearlet transform. The proposed network is trained in the shearlet transform-domain which provides an optimal sparse approximation of the cartoon-like image. Specifically, to address the large statistical variation among the shearlet coefficients, a dual-path training strategy and a data weighting technique are proposed. Extensive evaluations on general natural image datasets as well as remote sensing image datasets show that the proposed DSRLN scheme achieves close results in PSNR to the state-of-the-art deep learning methods, using much less network parameters.
