Abstract: An audio visual haptic signal reconstruction method includes first utilizing a large-scale audio-visual database stored in a central cloud to learn knowledge, and transferring same to an edge node; then combining, by means of the edge node, a received audio-visual signal with knowledge in the central cloud, and fully mining semantic correlation and consistency between modals; and finally fusing the semantic features of the obtained audio and video signals and inputting the semantic features to a haptic generation network, thereby realizing the reconstruction of the haptic signal. The method effectively solves the problems that the number of audio and video signals of a multi-modal dataset is insufficient, and semantic tags cannot be added to all the audio-visual signals in a training dataset by means of manual annotation. Also, the semantic association between heterogeneous data of different modals are better mined, and the heterogeneity gap between modals are eliminated.

Abstract: A system and a method for cell statistics based on image recognition is disclosed. A microscope captures the full image of a microslide, selects an interest region from the full image, and divides the region into sub-regions. A camera scans and transits the sub-regions to a host. The host performs image recognition on the scanned images to recognize various cells, and accumulates the number of the various cells in each of the scanned images to obtain a cell ratio of each type of the cells. When the number is accumulated and a difference among the cell ratios of the N consecutive scanned images is less than a preset value, the host stops scanning the remains of the sub-regions and outputs the cell ratio of each type of the presently-accumulated cells. The method can obtain various cell ratios of tissue samples for diagnosis.

Abstract: A method for cancelling radio frequency interference (RFI) and a communication system thereof are provided. In the communication system, digital signals of a frequency domain are converted from analog signals and received by the communication system generally carry RFI, and the signals are processed by an equalizer and a far-end crosstalk canceller. Then, for preventing erroneous signals from forming due to an occurrence of a notch, masking parameters applied to the equalizer and the far-end crosstalk canceller are modified for not processing frequency bands that are RFI-affected. The frequency bands can be ignored by masking corresponding bins in the frequency domain after a fast Fourier transformation. The signals processed by the equalizer and the far-end crosstalk canceller are then outputted to an RFI canceller, and the signals with RFI cancellation can be obtained.
