Recently, deep learning-based image deblurring and deraining have been well developed. However, most of these methods fail to distill the useful features. What is more, exploiting the detailed image features in a deep learning framework always requires a mass of parameters, which inevitably makes the network suffer from a high computational burden. We propose a lightweight fusion distillation network (LFDN) for image deblurring and deraining to solve the above problems. The proposed LFDN is designed as an encoder–decoder architecture. In the encoding stage, the image feature is reduced to various small-scale spaces for multi-scale information extraction and fusion without much information loss. Then, a feature distillation normalization block is designed at the beginning of the decoding stage, which enables the network to distill and screen valuable channel information of feature maps continuously. Besides, an information fusion strategy between distillation modules and feature channels is also carried out by the attention mechanism. By fusing different information in the proposed approach, our network can achieve state-of-the-art image deblurring and deraining results with a smaller number of parameters and outperform the existing methods in model complexity.

Fusion Framework

AbstractImage fusion integrates information from multiple images (of the same scene) to generate a (more informative) composite image suitable for human and computer vision perception. The method based on multiscale decomposition is one of the commonly fusion methods. In this study, a new fusion framework based on the octave Gaussian pyramid principle is proposed. In comparison with conventional multiscale decomposition, the proposed octave Gaussian pyramid framework retrieves more information by decomposing an image into two scale spaces (octave and interval spaces). Different from traditional multiscale decomposition with one set of detail and base layers, the proposed method decomposes an image into multiple sets of detail and base layers, and it efficiently retains high- and low-frequency information from the original image. The qualitative and quantitative comparison with five existing methods (on publicly available image databases) demonstrate that the proposed method has better visual effects and scores the highest in objective evaluation.

AbstractWhen fitting archaeological artifacts, one would like to have a representation that simplifies fragments while preserving their complementarity. In this paper, we propose to employ the scale-spaces of mathematical morphology to hierarchically simplify potentially fitting fracture surfaces. We study the masking effect when morphological operations are applied to selected subsets of objects. Since fitting locally depends on the complementarity of fractures only, we introduce ‘Boundary Morphology’ on surfaces rather than volumes. Moreover, demonstrating the Lipschitz nature of the terracotta fractures informs our novel extrusion method to compute both closing and opening operations simultaneously. We also show that in this proposed representation the effects of abrasion and uncertainty are naturally bounded, justifying the morphological approach. This work is an extension of our contribution earlier published in the proceedings of ISMM2019 [10].

Summary Scale can cause flow assurance issues because of damage to the near-wellbore region and in production facilities. Scale inhibitors are often used to help mitigate these problems. The main focus of this proof-of-concept study is to examine the ability of a newly developed crosslinked nanosized scale inhibitor (NSI) particle to inhibit scale formation through sustained release of scale inhibitor into a model brine and increase scale inhibitor treatment lifetime. Results from minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) measurements showed that, at 95°C, the MIC decreased gradually from 10 ppm at day 0 to 5 ppm after 9 days and eventually reached a very low MIC of 2 ppm after 49 days. These findings are consistent with our hypothesis that the sustained release of linear scale inhibitor from the NSI would result in a decrease in MIC over time caused by an increased amount of linear scale inhibitor being released into the model brine. Also, attaching 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic functional group (AMPS) to NSI successfully inhibits the pseudoscale formation when the scale inhibitor comes into contact with the calcium and magnesium in the model brine. Results from sandpack floods showed that NSI increased the treatment lifetime from 3 pore volumes (PV) postflush throughput, for the traditional scale inhibitor, to 35 to 105 PV postflush throughput. These results support our hypothesis that sustained release of the trapped NSI nanoparticles can improve the treatment lifetime.
