Cross-Parallel Vision Transformers for Medical Image Segmentation
Medical image segmentation primarily utilizes a hybrid model consisting of a Convolutional Neural Network and sequential Transformers. The latter leverage multi-head self-attention mechanisms to achieve comprehensive global context modelling. However, despite their success in semantic segmentation, the feature extraction process is inefficient and demands more computational resources, which hinders the network’s robustness. To address this issue, this research presents two innovative methods: PTransUNet (PT model) and C-PTransUNet (C-PT model). The C-PT module refines the Vision Transformer by substituting a sequential design with a parallel one. This boosts the feature extraction capabilities of Multi-Head Self-Attention via self-correlated feature attention and channel feature interaction, while also streamlining the Feed-Forward Network to lower computational demands.

Automatic Navigation Approaches for Flying Robots
Various approaches to achieve autonomous flight have been proposed in the literature, which can be broadly categorized into the following three types: (1) Trajectory-based optimization methods: These methods involve designing a set of optimal trajectories that the robot should follow to reach its destination; (2) Imitation-learning-based methods; (3) Reinforcement-learning-based methods.

Vision-Based Pose Estimation of Non-Cooperative Target
In the realm of non-cooperative space security and on-orbit service, a significant challenge is accurately determining the pose of abandoned satellites using imaging sensors. Traditional methods for estimating the position of the target encounter problems with stray light interference in space, leading to inaccurate results.

A Unified Framework for RGB-Infrared Transfer
Infrared(IR) images (both 0.7-3 µm and 8-15 µm) offer radiation intensity texture information that visible images lack, making them particularly helpful in daytime, nighttime, and complex scenes. Many researchers are studying how to translate RGB images into infrared images for deep learning-based visual tasks such as object tracking, crowd counting, panoramic segmentation, and image fusion in urban scenarios. The utilization of the RGB-IR dataset in the aforementioned tasks holds the potential to provide comprehensive multi-band fusion data for urban scenes, thereby facilitating precise modeling across different scenarios. In addressing the challenge of accurately generating high-radiance textures for the targets in the infrared spectrum, the proposed approach aims to ensure alignment between the generated infrared images and the radiation feature of ground-truth IR images.

Blockchain-Based Identity and Access Management
Identity and Access Management (IAM) has the ability to provide defense against a great number of security threats. While decentralization of IoT seems to be a solution for improved resource management and scalability, most of the services remain centralized exposing IoT systems to malicious attacks. Blockchain however, is a technology which can natively support decentralization as well as access and authorization management techniques, by using the corresponding programmable logic and leveraging cryptographic mechanisms for privacy and security. Using standardized frameworks (e.g., Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials), a blockchain-based access and authorization solution can present the basis for a uniform decentralized IAM framework not only for IoT, but for decentralized systems in general. The two main issues which stand between such a radical system and its broad use are firstly, to be able to seamlessly integrate blockchain and provide the basis for a decentralized IAM framework, while secondly (and most importantly) resolving the challenge of integrating within existing IoT (or other) systems, avoiding redesigning and redeveloping on behalf of the manufacturers.
