Abstract

Surgery planning in patients diagnosed with brain tumor is dependent on their survival prognosis. A poor prognosis might demand for a more aggressive treatment and therapy plan, while a favorable prognosis might enable a less risky surgery plan. Thus, accurate survival prognosis is an important step in treatment planning. Recently, deep learning approaches have been used extensively for brain tumor segmentation followed by the use of deep features for prognosis. However, radiomics-based studies have shown more promise using engineered/hand-crafted features. In this paper, we propose a three-step approach for multi-class survival prognosis. In the first stage, we extract image slices corresponding to tumor regions from multiple magnetic resonance image modalities. We then extract radiomic features from these 2D slices. Finally, we train machine learning classifiers to perform the classification. We evaluate our proposed approach on the publicly available BraTS 2019 data and achieve an accuracy of 76.5% and precision of 74.3% using the random forest classifier, which to the best of our knowledge are the highest reported results yet. Further, we identify the most important features that contribute in improving the prediction.

SCI-Mamba: Unsupervised Learning based Low-Light Image Enhancement for Non-Cooperative Spacecraft

Low-light visual perception acts as the core visual foundation for on-orbit servicing missions targeting non-cooperative spacecraft, supporting autonomous rendezvous, pose estimation, component detection and robotic capture operations. Spaceborne imagery suffers from severe low-light degradation, while the extreme scarcity of paired normal/low-light space samples severely limits the generalization capacity of supervised enhancement algorithms. To address this practical bottleneck, this paper proposes SCI-Mamba, an unsupervised enhancement network for low-light orbital spacecraft observations. The proposed framework unites self-calibrated unsupervised learning, linear-complexity VMamba architecture and Retinex physical priors, delivering a lightweight enhancement pipeline adaptable to resource-limited spaceborne hardware. We construct Space Dark-1.0, a dedicated low-light spacecraft dataset integrating real orbital footage, darkroom hardware-in-the-loop measurements and physically constrained synthetic data covering diverse illumination, motion and attitude conditions. Comprehensive comparisons with CNN-, Transformer- and prevailing Mamba-based approaches verify the advantages of SCI-Mamba in visual authenticity, color fidelity and inference speed. The proposed framework provides a practical low-light enhancement solution for close-proximity non-cooperative space operations. The code is available at https://github.com/bitswh/SCI-Mamba

Recursive Uncertainty-Gated Image Registration for Learning-based Algorithms

Conventional image registration algorithms are robust to domain shifts and achieve low errors, but they are slow and computationally expensive. Deep-learning methods are efficient at inference-time, but face challenges in out-of-domain samples. We propose Recursive Uncertainty-Gated Image Registration (RUGI), an algorithm for iteratively refining deformation fields predicted by learning-based registration models. At each iteration, the registration model predicts an incremental deformation, and a gating map modulates the update. Refinements are hence concentrated in regions that remain difficult to register. We explore two gating strategies: a learned uncertainty-based approach and an image residual error approach. We evaluate RUGI on cardiac MRI and echocardiography datasets and show consistent improvements over single-step inference. Ablation experiments demonstrate that iterative refinement alone improves registration, but informative spatial gating provides a significant additional benefit. The error-gated variant of RUGI can also be applied directly to existing pretrained models; applied to VoxelMorph, TransMorph, and CycleMorph, it yields MSE reductions of 27-37% with no modification to the original training procedure. The improvements in registration performance are reflected in decreased errors in ejection fraction estimation relative to ground truths. These results demonstrate that spatially selective iterative refinement provides an effective strategy to improve registration accuracy at inference-time.

STAMBRIDGE: Spectral-Temporal Amplitude-aware Mid-Feature Bridge for EEG Visual Decoding

Electroencephalography (EEG) visual decoding remains challenging due to the modality gap between low-SNR neural signals and highly structured vision--language spaces, making direct cross-modal alignment unstable. To address this, we propose STAMBRIDGE, a versatile two-stage framework that sequentially tackles feature conditioning and cross-modal alignment. First, we introduce a Spectral-Temporal Amplitude-aware Modulation (STAM) to extract well-conditioned EEG representations. By replacing hard frequency masking with amplitude-derived soft channel weighting and multi-scale temporal convolutions, STAM explicitly preserves frequency-aware transients while reducing the risk of time-domain ringing artifacts. Building upon these robust neural features, we further introduce a model-agnostic Mid-Feature Semantic Bridge (MFSB) that constructs a regularized intermediate space through directed cross-modal interactions, enabling staged distillation and more stable semantic alignment. Experiments on the THINGS-EEG benchmark show competitive 200-way zero-shot retrieval performance, with 34.50\% Top-1 and 65.95\% Top-5 accuracy. In addition, embeddings learned by STAMBRIDGE produce semantically coherent image reconstructions with a diffusion model, demonstrating robust EEG-to-vision semantic alignment.
