Hyperspectral Image Mixed Denoising via Robust Representation Coefficient Image Guidance and Nonlocal Low-Rank Approximation by Jiawei Song, Baolong Guo, Zhe Yuan, Chao Wang, Fangliang He, Cheng Li

“…However, most of these methods focus on optimizing the denoiser for representation coefficient images (RCIs) without considering how to construct RCIs that better inherit the spatial structure of the clean HSI, thereby affecting subsequent denoising performance. …”

An adaptive radial object recognition algorithm for lightweight drones in different environments by S. Song, J. Liu, M.P. Shleimovich, R.M. Shakirzyanov, S.V. Novikova

“…We proposed three methods: a hybrid FRODAS method combines the FRST and Hough methods to increase accuracy and reduce the time to search for circles in the image; a PaRCIS method based on sequential image compression and reconstruction to increase the speed of searching for multiple circles of different radii and removing noise; an additional modification of LIPIS is used with any of the primary or developed methods to reduce the sensitivity to sharp variations in the frame's brightness. …”
