  • Publication number: 20230060736
    Abstract: A single image deraining method is proposed. A wavelet transforming step processes an initial rain image to generate an i-th stage low-frequency rain image and a plurality of i-th stage high-frequency rain images. An image deraining step inputs the i-th stage low-frequency rain image to a low-frequency deraining model to output an i-th stage low-frequency derain image. A first inverse wavelet transforming step recombines the n-th stage low-frequency derain image with the n-th stage high-frequency derain images to form an n-th stage derain image. A weighted blending step blends a (n?1)-th stage low-frequency derain image with the n-th stage derain image to generate a (n?1)-th stage blended derain image. A second inverse wavelet transforming step recombines the (n?1)-th stage high-frequency derain images with the (n?1)-th stage blended derain image to form a (n?1)-th stage derain image, and sets n to n?1 and repeats the last two steps.

  • Patent number: 11539434
    Abstract: A dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing service path design microservice (ddSPDmS) can provide a scalable self-contained meta-data driven approach for a flexible implementation of a dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) service path design solution. The service plan design solution can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with a network management application. In order to manage a large volume of circuit designs, multiple microservices can accept application program interface (API) requests in a cloud environment. Permission can then be given to any application to use the API to make a call to the design and inventory. Additionally, metadata templates can be designed to support a node, a link, and/or a topology for the microservices.
