Jointly Resampling and Reconstructing Corrupted Images for Image Classification using Frequency-Selective Mesh-to-Grid Resampling

Abstract

Neural networks became the standard technique for image classification throughout the last years. They are extracting image features from a large number of images in a training phase. In a following test phase, the network is applied to the problem it was trained for and its performance is measured. In this paper, we focus on image classification. The amount of visual data that is interpreted by neural networks grows with the increasing usage of neural networks. Mostly, the visual data is transmitted from the application side to a central server where the interpretation is conducted. If the transmission is disturbed, losses occur in the transmitted images. These losses have to be reconstructed using postprocessing. In this paper, we incorporate the widely applied bilinear and bicubic interpolation and the high-quality reconstruction Frequency-Selective Reconstruction (FSR) for the reconstruction of corrupted images. However, we propose to use Frequency-Selective Mesh-to-Grid Resampling (FSMR) for the joint reconstruction and resizing of corrupted images. The performance in terms of classification accuracy of EfficientNetB0, DenseNet121, DenseNet201, ResNet50 and ResNet152 is examined. Results show that the reconstruction with FSMR leads to the highest classification accuracy for most networks. Average improvements of up to 6.7 percentage points are possible for DenseNet121.

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.
