    Abstract In acute intestinal ischemia, the progression of ischemia varies across different layers of intestinal tissue. We established a mouse model and used swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) to observe the intestinal ischemic process longitudinally in different tissue layers. Employing a method that combines asymmetric gradient filtering with adaptive weighting, we eliminated the vessel trailing phenomenon in OCT angiograms, reducing the confounding effects of superficial vessels on the imaging of deeper vasculature. We quantitatively assessed changes in vascular perfusion density (VPD), vessel length, and vessel average diameter across various intestinal layers. Our results showed a significant reduction in VPD in all layers during ischemia. The mucosa layer experienced the most significant impact, primarily due to disrupted capillary blood flow, followed by the submucosa layer, where vascular constriction or decreased velocity was the primary factor.

    Abstract Weakly supervised video anomaly detection (WS-VAD) aims to identify the snippets involving anomalous events in long untrimmed videos, with solely video-level binary labels. A typical paradigm among the existing WS-VAD methods is to employ multiple modalities as inputs, e.g., RGB, optical flow, and audio, as they can provide sufficient discriminative clues that are robust to the diverse, complicated real-world scenes. However, such a pipeline has high reliance on the availability of multiple modalities and is computationally expensive and storage demanding in processing long sequences, which limits its use in some applications. To address this dilemma, we propose a privileged knowledge distillation (KD) framework dedicated to the WS-VAD task, which can maintain the benefits of exploiting additional modalities, while avoiding the need for using multimodal data in the inference phase. We argue that the performance of the privileged KD framework mainly depends on two factors: 1) the effectiveness of the multimodal teacher network and 2) the completeness of the useful information transfer. To obtain a reliable teacher network, we propose a cross-modal interactive learning strategy and an anomaly normal discrimination loss, which target learning task-specific cross-modal features and encourage the separability of anomalous and normal representations, respectively. Furthermore, we design both representation-and logits-level distillation loss functions, which force the unimodal student network to distill abundant privileged knowledge from the well-trained multimodal teacher network, in a snippet-to-video fashion. Extensive experimental results on three public benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed privileged KD framework can train a lightweight yet effective detector, for localizing anomaly events under the supervision of video-level annotations.

    Abstract Monitoring ground-level ozone concentrations is a critical aspect of atmospheric environmental studies. Given the existing limitations of satellite data products, especially the lack of ground-level ozone characterization, and the discontinuity of ground observations, there is a pressing need for high-precision models to simulate ground-level ozone to assess surface ozone pollution. In this study, we have compared several widely utilized ensemble learning and deep learning methods for ground-level ozone simulation. Furthermore, we have thoroughly contrasted the temporal and spatial generalization performances of the ensemble learning and deep learning models. The 3-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (3-D CNN) model has emerged as the optimal choice for evaluating the daily maximum 8-h average ozone in Yunnan Province. The model has good performance: a spatial resolution of 0.05° × 0.05° and strong predictive power, as indicated by a Coefficient of Determination (R

    Abstract Compliance control strategies have been utilised for the ultraprecision polishing process for many years. Most researchers execute active compliance control strategies by employing impedance control law on a robot development platform. However, these methods are limited by the load capacity, positioning accuracy, and repeatability of polishing mechanisms. Moreover, a sophisticated actuator mounted at the end of the end-effector of robots is difficult to maintain in the polishing scenario. In contrast, a hybrid mechanism for polishing that possesses the advantages of serial and parallel mechanisms can mitigate the above problems, especially when an active compliance control strategy is employed. In this research, a high-frequency-impedance robust force control strategy is proposed. It outputs a position adjustment value directly according to a contact pressure adjustment value. An open architecture control system with customised software is developed to respond to external interrupts during the polishing procedure, implementing the active compliance control strategy on a hybrid mechanism. Through this method, the hybrid mechanism can adapt to the external environment with a given contact pressure automatically instead of relying on estimating the environment stiffness. Experimental results show that the proposed strategy adapts the unknown freeform surface without overshooting and improves the surface quality. The average surface roughness value decreases from 0.057 um to 0.027 um.

    Abstract Background: Serum ferritin levels have a clinical application in diagnosing diseases. However, the clinical standard levels and distribution characteristics of serum ferritin based on reference intervals (RIs) in the geriatric Han Chinese population in the East China region have not previously been well reported. This work aimed to investigate the correlation between serum ferritin levels and 14 metabolic markers, analyse the distribution of serum ferritin, and establish serum ferritin RIs for geriatric (> 60 years) individuals in Shanghai.
    Methods: Four hundred and sixty-nine healthy Chinese Han subjects (age, 61 - 95 years; median, 71 years) were recruited from the Health Examination Center of Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital in 2021. Serum ferritin was measured on a Roche Cobas 8000 e602, and 14 biochemical parameters were measured on a Siemens Atellica CH-930 to analyse distributions and correlations and to establish serum ferritin RIs for the elderly population in Shanghai.
    Results: Serum ferritin levels were significantly different between genders (p = 0.06). The established RIs for serum ferritin were 24.44 - 627.09 ng/mL and 48.18 - 554.88 ng/mL in males and females, respectively. Correlation analyses revealed that ferritin levels were correlated with 7 parameters, including body mass index (BMI, p = 0.02), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT, p < 0.01), alanine aminotransferase (ALT, p < 0.01), triglycerides (TGs, p < 0.01), high-density lipoprotein (HDL, p < 0.01), total protein (TP, p < 0.01) and prealbumin (PAB, p < 0.01). When the participants were further divided by BMI, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was an additional variable that was positively correlated only in the overweight/obese group (p = 0.04), while globulin (GLO) was an additional variable that was positively correlated only in the other group (p < 0.01).
    Conclusions: Nutrition and metabolism may play a great role in the regulation of serum ferritin levels in geriatric individuals in vivo. The RIs established for serum ferritin may provide precise references for further studies on ferritin-related disease in geriatric individuals.

    Abstract Monocular depth estimation has a wide range of applications in the field of autostereoscopic displays, while accuracy and robustness in complex scenes are still a challenge. In this paper, we propose a depth estimation network for autostereoscopic displays, which aims at improving the accuracy of monocular depth estimation by fusing Vision Transformer (ViT) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our approach feeds the input image as a sequence of visual features into the ViT module and utilizes its global perception capability to extract high-level semantic features of the image. The relationship between the losses is quantified by adding a weight correction module to improve robustness of the model. Experimental evaluation results on several public datasets show that AMENet exhibits higher accuracy and robustness than existing methods in different scenarios and complex conditions. In addition, a detailed experimental analysis was conducted to verify the effectiveness and stability of our method. The accuracy improvement on the KITTI dataset compared to the baseline method is 4.4%. In summary, AMENet is a promising depth estimation method with sufficient high robustness and accuracy for monocular depth estimation tasks.

    Abstract The popularity of wearable devices has increased the demands for the research on first-person activity recognition. However, most of the current first-person activity datasets are built based on the assumption that only the human-object interaction (HOI) activities, performed by the camera-wearer, are captured in the field of view. Since humans live in complicated scenarios, in addition to the first-person activities, it is likely that third-person activities performed by other people also appear. Analyzing and recognizing these two types of activities simultaneously occurring in a scene is important for the camera-wearer to understand the surrounding environments. To facilitate the research on concurrent first- and third-person activity recognition (CFT-AR), we first created a new activity dataset, namely PolyU concurrent first- and third-person (CFT) Daily, which exhibits distinct properties and challenges, compared with previous activity datasets. Since temporal asynchronism and appearance gap usually exist between the first- and third-person activities, it is crucial to learn robust representations from all the activity-related spatio-temporal positions. Thus, we explore both holistic scene-level and local instance-level (person-level) features to provide comprehensive and discriminative patterns for recognizing both first- and third-person activities. On the one hand, the holistic scene-level features are extracted by a 3-D convolutional neural network, which is trained to mine shared and sample-unique semantics between video pairs, via two well-designed attention-based modules and a self-knowledge distillation (SKD) strategy. On the other hand, we further leverage the extracted holistic features to guide the learning of instance-level features in a disentangled fashion, which aims to discover both spatially conspicuous patterns and temporally varied, yet critical, cues. Experimental results on the PolyU CFT Daily dataset validate that our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.
