Abstract

This paper set out to supplement new studies with a brief and comprehensible review of the advanced development in the area of the navigation system, starting from a single robot, multi-robot, and swarm robots from a particular perspective by taking insights from these biological systems. The inspiration is taken from nature by observing the human and the social animal that is believed to be very beneficial for this purpose. The intelligent navigation system is developed based on an individual characteristic or a social animal biological structure. The discussion of this paper will focus on how simple agent’s structure utilizes flexible and potential outcomes in order to navigate in a productive and unorganized surrounding. The combination of the navigation system and biologically inspired approach has attracted considerable attention, which makes it an important research area in the intelligent robotic system. Overall, this paper explores the implementation, which is resulted from the simulation performed by the embodiment of robots operating in real environments.

Abstract

Ultrasonography, a medical imaging technique, is often affected by various types of noise and low brightness, which can result in low image quality. These drawbacks can significantly impede accurate interpretation and hinder effective medical diagnoses. Therefore, improving image quality is an essential aspect of the field of ultrasound systems. This study aims to enhance the quality of ultrasound images using deep learning (DL). The experiment is conducted using a custom dataset consisting of 2,175 infant heart ultrasound images collected from Indonesian hospitals, and the model is subsequently generalized using other datasets. We propose enhanced deep residual network combined convolutional neural networks (EDR-CNNs) to improve the image quality. After the enhancement process, our model achieved peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index metrics (SSIM) scores of 38.35 and 0.92 respectively, outperforming other methods. The benchmarking with other ultrasound medical images indicates that our proposed model produces good performance, as evidenced by higher PSNR, lower SSIM, a decrease in mean square error (MSE), and a lower contrast improvement index (CII). In conclusion, this study encapsulates the forthcoming trends in advancing low-illumination image enhancement, along with exploring the prevailing challenges and potential directions for further research.
