AbstractGhost imaging (GI) facilitates image acquisition under low-light conditions by single-pixel measurements and thus has great potential in applications in various fields ranging from biomedical imaging to remote sensing. However, GI usually requires a large amount of single-pixel samplings in order to reconstruct a high-resolution image, imposing a practical limit for its applications. Here we propose a far-field super-resolution GI technique that incorporates the physical model for GI image formation into a deep neural network. The resulting hybrid neural network does not need to pre-train on any dataset, and allows the reconstruction of a far-field image with the resolution beyond the diffraction limit. Furthermore, the physical model imposes a constraint to the network output, making it effectively interpretable. We experimentally demonstrate the proposed GI technique by imaging a flying drone, and show that it outperforms some other widespread GI techniques in terms of both spatial resolution and sampling ratio. We believe that this study provides a new framework for GI, and paves a way for its practical applications.

Residential load forecasting is important for many entities in the electricity market, but the load profile of single residence shows more volatilities and uncertainties. Due to the difficulty in producing reliable point forecasts, probabilistic load forecasting becomes more popular as a result of catching the volatility and uncertainty by intervals, density, or quantiles. In this paper, we propose a unified quantile regression deep neural network with time-cognition for tackling this challenging issue. At first, a convolutional neural network with multiscale convolution is devised for extracting more behavioral features from the historical load sequence. In addition, a novel periodical coding method marks the model to enhance its ability of capturing regular load pattern. Then, features generated from both subnetworks are fused and fed into the forecasting model with an end-to-end manner. Besides, a globally differentiable quantile loss function constrains the whole network for training. At last, forecasts of multiple quantiles are directly generated in one shot. With ablation experiments, the proposed model achieved the best results in the AQS, AACE, and inversion error, and especially the average of the AACE is grown by 34.71%, 75.22%, and 32.44% compared with QGBRT, QCNN, and QLSTM, respectively, indicating that our method has excellent reliability and robustness rather than the state-of-the-art models obviously. Meanwhile, great performances of efficient time response demonstrate that our proposed work has promising prospects in practical applications.

DEM super resolution is proposed in our previous publication to improve the resolution for a DEM on basis of some learning examples. Meanwhile, the nonlocal algorithm is introduced to deal with it and lots of experiments show that the strategy is feasible. In our publication, the learning examples are defined as the partial original DEM and their related high measurements due to this way can avoid the incompatibility between the data to be processed and the learning examples. To further extent the applications of this new strategy, the learning examples should be diverse and easy to obtain. Yet, it may cause the problem of incompatibility and unrobustness. To overcome it, we intend to investigate a convolutional neural network based method. The input of the convolutional neural network is a low resolution DEM and the output is expected to be its high resolution one. A three layers model will be adopted. The first layer is used to detect some features from the input, the second integrates the detected features to some compressed ones and the final step transforms the compressed features as a new DEM. According to this designed structure, some learning DEMs will be taken to train it. Specifically, the designed network will be optimized by minimizing the error of the output and its expected high resolution DEM. In practical applications, a testing DEM will be input to the convolutional neural network and a super resolution will be obtained. Many experiments show that the CNN based method can obtain better reconstructions than many classic interpolation methods.
