    Abstract Few of the known quantum algorithms can be reliably executed on a quantum computer. Therefore, as an extension, we propose a Parallel Quantum Hough transform (PQHT) algorithm that we execute on a quantum computer. We give its implementation and discuss the results obtained. The PQHT algorithm is conceptually divided into a parallel rotation stage consisting of a set of connected programmable $\texttt{RZ}$ rotation gates, with adjustable node connections of coincidence detectors realized with quantum logic gates. The modules were developed using IBM Quantum Composer and tested using the IBM QASM simulator. Finally, the modules were programmed using the Python package Qiskit and the jobs were sent to distributed IBM Q System One quantum computers. The successful run results on Fraunhofer Q System One in Ehningen will be presented as a proof of concept for the PQHT algorithm.

    Abstract The row-column addressed array is an emerging probe for ultrafast 3-D ultrasound imaging. It achieves this with far fewer independent electronic channels and a wider field of view than traditional 2-D matrix arrays, of the same channel count, making it a good candidate for clinical translation. However, the image quality of row-column arrays is generally poor, particularly when investigating tissue. Ultrasound localisation microscopy allows for the production of super-resolution images even when the initial image resolution is not high. Unfortunately, the row-column probe can suffer from imaging artefacts that can degrade the quality of super-resolution images as `secondary' lobes from bright microbubbles can be mistaken as microbubble events, particularly when operated using plane wave imaging. These false events move through the image in a physiologically realistic way so can be challenging to remove via tracking, leading to the production of 'false vessels'. Here, a new type of rolling window image reconstruction procedure was developed, which integrated a row-column array-specific coherence-based beamforming technique with acoustic sub-aperture processing for the purposes of reducing `secondary' lobe artefacts, noise and increasing the effective frame rate. Using an {\it{in vitro} cross tube, it was found that the procedure reduced the percentage of `false' locations from $\sim$26\% to $\sim$15\% compared to traditional orthogonal plane wave compounding. Additionally, it was found that the noise could be reduced by $\sim$7 dB and that the effective frame rate could be increased to over 4000 fps. Subsequently, {\it{in vivo} ultrasound localisation microscopy was used to produce images non-invasively of a rabbit kidney and a human thyroid.

Using an in vitro cross tube, it was found that the procedure reduced the percentage of 'false' locations from approximately 26% to approximately 15% compared to traditional orthogonal plane wave compounding. Additionally, it was found that the noise could be reduced by approximately 7 dB and that the effective frame rate could be increased to over 4000 fps.

    Abstract In coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) systems, a core problem is to recover the 3D hyperspectral image (HSI) from the 2D measurement. Current deep unfolding networks (DUNs) for the HSI reconstruction mainly suffered from three issues. Firstly, in previous DUNs, the DNNs across different stages were unable to share the feature representations learned from different stages, leading to parameter sparsity, which in turn limited their reconstruction potential. Secondly, previous DUNs fail to estimate degradation-related parameters within a unified framework, including the degradation matrix in the data subproblem and the noise level in the prior subproblem. Consequently, either the accuracy of solving the data or the prior subproblem is compromised. Thirdly, exploiting both local and non-local priors for the HSI reconstruction is crucial, and it remains a key issue to be addressed. In this paper, we first transform the DUN into a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) by sharing parameters across stages, which allows the DNN in each stage could learn feature representation from different stages, enhancing the representativeness of the DUN. Secondly, we incorporate the Degradation Estimation Network into the RNN (DERNN), which simultaneously estimates the degradation matrix and the noise level by residual learning with reference to the sensing matrix. Thirdly, we propose a Local and Non-Local Transformer (LNLT) to effectively exploit both local and non-local priors in HSIs. By integrating the LNLT into the DERNN for solving the prior subproblem, we propose the DERNN-LNLT, which achieves state-of-the-art performance.
    摘要 在coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging(CASSI)系统中,核心问题是从2D测量数据中回归3D彩色спектраль成像(HSI)。目前的深度 unfolding network(DUN)for HSI重建主要受到以下三个问题的限制:首先,在前一代DUN中,不同阶段的神经网络(DNN)无法共享不同阶段学习的特征表示,导致参数稀缺,从而限制了重建的潜力。第二,前一代DUN无法在一个框架下 simultanously 估计数据偏移矩阵和噪声水平,这两者都是重建HSI的关键参数。如果仅仅解决数据问题或先验问题,则其准确性将受到限制。第三,在HSIs中利用本地和非本地的假设是重要的,但是在前一代DUN中,这些假设并未得到充分利用。在本文中,我们首先将DUN转换为回归神经网络(RNN),使得不同阶段的DNN可以共享特征表示,从而提高DUN的表现。其次,我们将偏移估计网络(DERNN) incorporated into RNN,以同时估计数据偏移矩阵和噪声水平,通过对准测试矩阵的学习。最后,我们提出了本地和非本地转换器(LNLT),以有效地利用HSIs中的本地和非本地假设。通过将LNLTintegrated into DERNN,我们提出了DERNN-LNLT,实现了state-of-the-art的性能。
