Injecting prior frequency information in DETR for wheat head detection

Wheat is among the most important grains worldwide. For the assessment of wheat fields, image detection of spikes atop the plant containing grain is used. Previous work in deep learning for precision agriculture employs the already established object detectors, Faster R-CNN and YOLO, adapted for the given context. However, these models suffer...

Assessing the Effects of Deafness on Cortical Activity Peaks in the Developing Human Auditory System Measured by an EEG Neuroimaging Method

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) can restore hearing in deaf children, by electrically stimulating the auditory pathways. The effects of long-term deafness have been extensively studied and it is well known that deafness leads to cross-modal reorganization of the brain. However, the short term effects of CI use on the developing auditory...

Three-dimensional structured illumination microscopy using Lukosz bound apodization reduces pixel negativity at no resolution cost

The quality of the reconstructed image in structured illumination microscopy (SIM) depends on various aspects of the image filtering process. To optimize the trade-off between resolution and ringing artifacts, which lead to negative intensities, we extend Lukosz-bound filtering to 3D SIM and derive the parametrization of the 3D SIM cut-off. We...

An ultra low power CMOS pA/V transconductor and its application to wavelet filters

Two compact ultra low-power CMOS triode transconductor topologies denoted VLPT-g(m) and Delta-g(m) are proposed. In both circuits, input transistors are kept in the triode region to benefit from the lowest g(m)/I-D ratio. This allows achieving a small-signal transconductance g(m) down to hundreds of pA/V, making such transconductors attractive...
