This article propose s a network that is mainly used to deal with a single image polluted by raindrops in rainy weather to get a clean image without raindrops. In the existing solutions, most of the methods rely on paired images, that is, the rain image and the real image without rain in the same scene. However, in many cases, the paired images are difficult to obtain, which makes it impossible to apply the raindrop removal network in many scenarios. Therefore this article proposes a semi-supervised rain-removing network apply to unpaired images. The model contains two parts: a supervised network and an unsupervised network. After the model is trained, the unsupervised network does not require paired images and it can get a clean image without raindrops. In particular, our network can perform training on paired and unpaired samples. The experimental results show that the best results are achieved not only on the supervised rain-removing network, but also on the unsupervised rain-removing network.

Depth is a vital prerequisite for the fulfillment of various tasks such as perception, navigation, and planning. Estimating depth using only a single image is a challenging task since the analytic mapping is not available between the intensity image and its depth where the features cue of the context is usually absent in the single image. Furthermore, most current researchers rely on the supervised Learning approach to handle depth estimation. Therefore, the demand for recorded ground truth depth is important at the training time, which is actually tricky and costly. This study presents two approaches (unsupervised learning and semi-supervised learning) to learn the depth information using only a single RGB-image. The main objective of depth estimation is to extract a representation of the spatial structure of the environment and to restore the 3D shape and visual appearance of objects in imagery.

Background: To clarify the clinical use of sonography for differentiation of edema we tried to answer the question whether a group of doctors can differentiate lymphedema from cardiac, hepatic or venous edema just by analysing sonographic images of the edema. Patients and methods: 38 (70 ± 12 years, 22 (58 %) females) patients with lower limb edema were recruited according the clinical diagnosis: 10 (26 %) lymphedema, 16 (42 %) heart insufficiency, 6 (16 %) venous disorders, 6 (16 %) chronic hepatic disease. Edema was depicted sonographically at the most affected leg in a standardised way at distal and proximal calf. 38 sets of images were anonymised and send to 5 experienced doctors. They were asked whether they can see criteria for lymphedema: 1. anechoic gaps, 2. horizontal gaps and 3. echoic rims. Results: Accepting an edema as lymphedema if only one doctor sees at least one of the three criteria for lymphatic edema on each single image all edema would be classified as lymphatic. Accepting lymphedema only if all doctors see at least one of the three criteria on the distal image of the same patient 80 % of the patients supposed to have lymphedema are classified as such, but also the majority of cardiac, venous and hepatic edema. Accepting lymphedema only if all doctors see all three criteria on the distal image of the same patients no edema would be classified as lymphatic. In addition we separated patients by Stemmers’ sign in those with positive and negative sign. The interpretation of the images was not different between both groups. Conclusions: Our analysis shows that it is not possible to differentiate lymphedema from other lower limb edema sonographically.
