Quantum Neural Network for Accelerated Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

Magnetic resonance image reconstruction starting from undersampled k-space data requires the recovery of many potential nonlinear features, which is very difficult for algorithms to recover these features. In recent years, the development of quantum computing has discovered that quantum convolution can improve network accuracy, possibly due to potential quantum advantages. This article proposes a hybrid neural network containing quantum and classical networks for fast magnetic resonance imaging, and conducts experiments on a quantum computer simulation system. The experimental results indicate that the hybrid network has achieved excellent reconstruction results, and also confirm the feasibility of applying hybrid quantum-classical neural networks into the image reconstruction of rapid magnetic resonance imaging.

JEVQA - Video Quality from Metadata, Bitstream, and Pixel Features with a General-Purpose Decision Model

Instrumental quality models for video quality prediction are usually trained for a fixed set of codecs or other input features, and every new input variable requires retraining. Novel, general-purpose decision models can answer questions without task-specific training, but it is unclear whether they can judge video quality. We evaluate Jev, a commercial ``System One'' model that returns probability distributions over a provided answer scale, as a zero-shot video quality model. We call the resulting method JEVQA. In a first study on 1,936 AV1, H.264, HEVC, and VP9 encodes of 22 sources, scored against VMAF as ground truth, using encoding metadata only, JEVQA reached a Pearson correlation of 0.737, on par with the standardized ITU-T P.1204.1 model (0.733). Giving the model bitstream data raised the accuracy to 0.797, and combined pixel-based and bitstream features raised it to 0.824. A pixel-only variant failed in our tests. In a second study, using H.264, HEVC, and VP9 encodes in the AVT-VQDB-UHD-1 database, the metadata-only model reached a correlation of 0.879 with MOS, close to P.1204.1 (0.898). Bitstream statistics did not help there. Our results show that trained models on the same features remain clearly ahead in both studies, but that zero-shot classifiers are promising.

Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks for LiDAR-Based Attitude Initialization of Rotating Spacecraft

Accurate attitude estimation is essential for autonomous in-orbit servicing and proximity operations. This work proposes a Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN) used in coarse attitude initialization of known, possibly tumbling spacecraft using LiDAR-derived depth images. By processing temporal sequences of 2D point-cloud projections, the RCNN effectively handles symmetries, occlusions, and degraded sensing. Simulations across various spacecraft geometries, angular velocities, and ranges show that the RCNN yields lower initialization errors and higher convergence rates than conventional CNN baseline within the adopted experimental framework, with performance varying across angular velocity conditions.

Flexible-Region Based Adaptive In-Loop Filter for Video Coding

Adaptive loop filter (ALF) for video coding, which is designed to minimize the mean square error between original and reconstructed samples by using Wiener-based filter, has attracted increasing attention for its significant capability in improving coding efficiency. In the second and third Audio Video Coding Standard, i.e., AVS2 and AVS3, ALF is adopted as one of the in-loop filters. In current design, each frame is divided into 16 regions at most and corresponding filter coefficients are then derived and utilized to reconstruct each region. In this paper, a flexible-region based ALF (FRALF) scheme is proposed to improve the adaptability of existing ALF in AVS3, which introduces multiple region partition templates, such as $2\times4$, $4\times4$, $4\times8$ and $8\times8$. We subsequently propose the filter coefficients merging algorithm to further improve coding efficiency by estimating the distortion level of different partition regions. The proposed FRALF can fully consider the local texture characteristics as well as non-local similarities synthetically. The experimental results show that FRALF outperforms the existing region-based ALF in AVS3 with relatively low complexity increasing.
