Learning-Based Image Restorations of Sparse-View CT Data: Is It Reliable? by Philip Maurice Trapp, Elias Eulig, Joscha Maier, Frederic Ballach, Raoul Christoph, Ralf Christoph, Marc Kachelrieß

“…  Learning-based methods for the restoration of computed tomography (CT) images promise very good image quality even in areas with insufficient data sampling and thus suggest enormous savings in measurement time. This work shows by means of restorations of sparse-view CT data that such methods must be evaluated thoroughly and in a task-specific manner, as details of the workpiece may not be exactly reconstructed. …”

Research on range matching for wire-speed hardware NIDS by CHEN Shu-hui, SUN Zhi-gang, SU Jin-shu

“…To solve the rule matching problem of hardware NIDS,a range matching algorithm LRC-RM was proposed,with more efficient memory utilization.The approach mapped the port range into a compressed bit vector and organized the bit vectors as an extended balanced binary tree.Experiments were employed to show that NIDS using this approach can perform wire-speed range matching for OC-192 links,while saving 99% memory resource comparing to the existing methods.The algorithm is easy to be implemented within a chip without additional RAM.…”

Preserving source-location privacy efficiently based on attack-perceiving in wireless sensor network by Qian ZHOU, Xiaolin QIN, Youwei DING

“…Sensors’ ability was utilized to perceive the mobile attacker nearby,and SPA (silent-pool approach) was proposed,which was able to hinder or reduce the packets hunted by the attacker by controlling the forwarding state of the nodes.In addition,a novel DPIOP (dummy packet injection out pool) method was proposed to entice the adversary far away from the transmission path without changing the original routing path.Through simulation studies and experiments,the outstanding performance of SPA and DPIOP in privacy preservation were demonstrated,with saving energy by about 63%,and reducing delay by about 35%.…”
