The role of face regions in remote photoplethysmography for contactless heart rate monitoring by Maksym Bondarenko, Carlo Menon, Mohamed Elgendi

“…Machine learning-based approaches outperform traditional methods under motion artifacts and poor lighting, achieving Mean Absolute Error and Root Mean Square Error below 1.0 for some datasets. Combining multiple patches improves performance, though increasing ROIs beyond 60 patches results in diminishing returns and higher computational complexity. …”

Application of Macrofiber Composite for Smart Transducer of Lamb Wave Inspection by Gang Ren, Kyung-Young Jhang

“…In this paper, the feasibility of this transducer for the Lamb wave inspection has been experimentally explored. A pair of MFC patches is bonded on a 2 mm thick aluminum plate, and it has been demonstrated that the dispersive characteristics of S0 and A0 modes, generated and detected by MFC patches, agreed well with the theory. …”

Autonomous novel class discovery for vision-based recognition in non-interactive environments by Xuelin Zhang, Feng Liu, Xuelian Cheng, Siyuan Yan, Zhibin Liao, Zongyuan Ge

“…To address the OSC problem, we propose a framework combining three approaches: 1) using selfsupervised vision transformers to mitigate the discard of information needed for clustering unknown classes; 2) adaptive weighting for image patches to prioritize patches with richer textures; and 3) incorporating a temperature scaling strategy to generate more separable feature embeddings for clustering. …”

Unsupervised mapping of rice paddy fields and their inundation patterns using Sentinel-1 SAR images and GIS by Lauren E. McGiven, Marc F. Müller

“…Temporal variations in SAR backscatter are condensed into a custom multi-band image for each planting season, enabling unsupervised classification to delineate rice paddies and flooding patches. This approach achieves high detection accuracy, with overall accuracy rates for paddy detection of 83.8%–89.0% in Japan, 71.5%–83.5% in the Philippines, and 72.3% for rice flooding patches in Bali, Indonesia. …”
