Optimization-based algorithms for image reconstruction in multispectral (or photon-counting) computed tomography (MCT) remains a topic of active research. The challenge optimization-based MCT stems from the inherently non-linear data model that can lead to non-convex optimization program which no mathematically exact solver seems exist achieving globally optimal solutions. In this work, based upon model, we design program, derive its first-order-optimality conditions, and propose an...
This survey presents a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon hallucination in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), also known as Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), which have demonstrated significant advancements and remarkable abilities tasks. Despite these promising developments, MLLMs often generate outputs that are inconsistent with visual content, challenge hallucination, poses substantial obstacles to their practical deployment raises concerns regarding reliability...
Increasing interest in optimization-based reconstruction research on, and applications of, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) exists because it has been shown to have potential reduce artifacts observed reconstructions obtained with the Feldkamp–Davis–Kress (FDK) algorithm (or its variants), which is used extensively for image current CBCT applications.
