Attention-guided progressive neural texture fusion for high dynamic range image restoration by Chen, Jie, Yang, Zaifeng, Chan, Tsz Nam, Li, Hui, Hou, Junhui, Chau, Lap-Pui

“…In spite of recent developments in both hardware and algorithm innovations, challenges remain over content association ambiguities caused by saturation, motion, and various artifacts introduced during multi-exposure fusion such as ghosting, noise, and blur. In this work, we propose an Attention-guided Progressive Neural Texture Fusion (APNT-Fusion) HDR restoration model which aims to address these issues within one framework. …”

3D LiDAR Point Cloud Registration Based on IMU Preintegration in Coal Mine Roadways by Lin Yang, Hongwei Ma, Zhen Nie, Heng Zhang, Zhongyang Wang, Chuanwei Wang

“…Therefore, for these environments, the traditional point cloud registration method to register directly will lead to problems, such as a decline in registration accuracy, z-axis drift, and map ghosting.
