Hierarchical structure and different semantic roles of joints in human skeleton convey important information for action recognition. Conventional graph convolution methods for modeling skeleton structure consider only physically connected neighbors of each joint, and the joints of the same type, thus failing to capture highorder information. In this work, we propose a novel model with motif-based graph convolution to encode hierarchical spatial structure, and a variable temporal dense block to exploit local temporal information over different ranges of human skeleton sequences. Moreover, we employ a non-local block to capture global dependencies of temporal domain in an attention mechanism. Our model achieves improvements over the stateof-the-art methods on two large-scale datasets.

During the imaging process, hyperspectral image (HSI) is inevitably affected by various noises, such as Gaussian noise, impulse noise, stripes or deadlines. As one of the pre-processing steps, the removal of mixed noise for HSI has a vital impact on subsequent applications, and it is also one of the most challenging tasks. In this paper, a novel spectral-smoothness and non-local self-similarity regularized subspace low-rank learning (termed SNSSLrL) method was proposed for the mixed noise removal of HSI. First, under the subspace decomposition framework, the original HSI is decomposed into the linear representation of two low-dimensional matrices, namely the subspace basis matrix and the coefficient matrix. To further exploit the essential characteristics of HSI, on the one hand, the basis matrix is modeled as spectral smoothing, which constrains each column vector of the basis matrix to be a locally continuous spectrum, so that the subspace formed by its column vectors has continuous properties. On the other hand, the coefficient matrix is divided into several non-local block matrices according to the pixel coordinates of the original HSI data, and block-matching and 4D filtering (BM4D) is employed to reconstruct these self-similar non-local block matrices. Finally, the formulated model with all convex items is solved efficiently by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Extensive experiments on two simulated datasets and one real dataset verify that the proposed SNSSLrL method has greater advantages than the latest state-of-the-art methods.

Recently, low voltage (≤5kV) scanning electron microscopes have become popular because of their unprecedented advantages, such as minimized charging effects and smaller specimen damage, etc. Perhaps the most important advantage of LVSEM is that they may be able to provide ultrahigh resolution since the interaction volume decreases when electron energy is reduced. It is obvious that no matter how low the operating voltage is, the resolution is always poorer than the probe radius. To achieve 10Å resolution at 5kV (including non-local effects), we would require a probe radius of 5∽6 Å. At low voltages, we can no longer ignore the effects of chromatic aberration because of the increased ratio δV/V. The 3rd order spherical aberration is another major limiting factor. The optimized aperture should be calculated as

For scanning electron microscopes, it is plausible that by lowering the primary electron energy, one can decrease the volume of interaction and improve resolution. As shown by Crewe /1/, at V0 =5kV a 10Å resolution (including non-local effects) is possible. To achieve this, we would need a probe size about 5Å. However, at low voltages, the chromatic aberration becomes the major concern even for field emission sources. In this case, δV/V = 0.1 V/5kV = 2x10-5. As a rough estimate, it has been shown that /2/ the chromatic aberration δC should be less than ⅓ of δ0 the probe size determined by diffraction and spherical aberration in order to neglect its effect. But this did not take into account the distribution of electron energy. We will show that by using a wave optical treatment, the tolerance on the chromatic aberration is much larger than we expected.
