Optimized Design of 3D Spatial Images Based on Kalman Filter Equation by Wei Shan

“…To address the problem that the Kalman filter recovery method has the advantage of short computation time but the recovery effect is not as good as the Wiener recovery method, an improved Kalman filter recovery algorithm is proposed, which overcomes the fact that the Kalman filter recovery only targets the rows and columns of the image matrix for noise reduction and cannot utilize the pixel point information among the neighboring rows and columns. …”

A Parallel Image Denoising Network Based on Nonparametric Attention and Multiscale Feature Fusion by Jing Mao, Lianming Sun, Jie Chen, Shunyuan Yu

“…Convolutional neural networks have achieved excellent results in image denoising; however, there are still some problems: (1) The majority of single-branch models cannot fully exploit the image features and often suffer from the loss of information. (2) Most of the deep CNNs have inadequate edge feature extraction and saturated performance problems. …”

The mechanism of the social state and the place of the pension system in it: theoretical and legal aspects by S. S. Polesov

“…It is demonstrated that pension provision as a set of legal relations and a real legal phenomenon in the substantive and ontological dimension cannot be identified either with the process of providing an individual with a set of certain social and material services (procedural approach), or with a set of measures taken by the State to meet the needs of an individual for adequate material security upon reaching retirement age or due to adverse social circumstances which exclude their opportunities for active participation in economic and social life. …”

Determination of Vibration Properties and Reliable Frequency Estimation for Synchronous Vibrations Through Improved Blade Tip Timing Techniques Without a Once-per-Revolution Sensor by Marios Sasakaros, Luca Mann, Markus Schafferus, Manfred Wirsum

“…Moreover, the implementation possibilities of BTT are improved, allowing its application in systems, where an OPR sensor cannot be instrumented due to space constraints. Subsequently, the vibration frequencies are accurately estimated, by employing an improved Multi-Sampling method based on Non-Uniform Fast Fourier Transform. …”

Damage Identification in Large-Scale Structures Using Time Series Analysis and Improved Sparse Regularization by Huihui Chen, Xiaojing Yuan

“…Compared to the moth-flame optimization (MFO) algorithm and traditional regularization methods, for both noise-free and noise polluted data, the iteration curves illustrate that the proposed method can achieve convergence within about 200 iterations, while the MFO algorithm is always trapped into local optima; meanwhile, the traditional regularization method needs more iterations or even cannot meet the preset tolerance. Furthermore, regarding the numerical example, the damage identification results show that the max identification errors of the proposed method are 6% among the three cases under noise-free and noise-polluted data, while the max identification errors for MFO and the regularization method are 15% and 10%, respectively. …”
