Existing multi-exposure fusion (MEF) algorithms for gray images under low-illumination cannot preserve details in dark and highlighted regions very well, and the fusion image noise is large. To address these problems, an MEF method is proposed. First, the latent low-rank representation (LatLRR) is used on low-dynamic images to generate low-rank parts and saliency parts to reduce noise after fusion. Then, two components are fused separately in Laplace multi-scale space. Two different weight maps are constructed according to features of gray images under low illumination. At the same time, an energy equation is designed to obtain the optimal ratio of different weight factors. An improved guided filtering based on an adaptive regularization factor is proposed to refine the weight maps to maintain spatial consistency and avoid artifacts. Finally, a high dynamic image is obtained by the inverse transform of low-rank part and saliency part. The experimental results show that the proposed method has advantages both in subjective and objective evaluation over state-of-the-art multi-exposure fusion methods for gray images under low-illumination imaging.

We cannot be sure exactly what will happen, we can only estimate by using a particular method, where each method must have the formula to create a regression equation and a formula to calculate the confidence level of the estimated value. This paper conveys a method of estimating the future values, in which the formula for creating a regression equation is based on the assumption that the future value will depend on the difference of the past values divided by a weight factor which corresponding to the time span to the present, and the formula for calculating the level of confidence is to use "the Haryadi Index". The advantage of this method is to remain accurate regardless of the sample size and may ignore the past value that is considered irrelevant.

With the increasing deployment of IoT devices and applications, a large number of devices that can sense and monitor the environment in IoT network are needed. This trend also brings great challenges, such as data explosion and energy insufficiency. This paper proposes a system that integrates mobile edge computing (MEC) technology and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology to improve the service supply capability of WSN-assisted IoT applications. A novel optimization problem is formulated to minimize the total system energy consumption under the constraints of data transmission rate and transmitting power requirements by jointly considering power allocation, CPU frequency, offloading weight factor and energy harvest weight factor. Since the problem is non-convex, we propose a novel alternate group iteration optimization (AGIO) algorithm, which decomposes the original problem into three subproblems, and alternately optimizes each subproblem using the group interior point iterative algorithm. Numerical simulations validate that the energy consumption of our proposed design is much lower than the two benchmark algorithms. The relationship between system variables and energy consumption of the system is also discussed.
