Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is widely used to visualise cardiac motion and diagnose heart disease. However, standard CMR imaging requires patients to lie still in a confined space inside a loud machine for 40-60 min, which increases patient discomfort. In addition, shorter scan times decrease either or both the temporal and spatial resolutions of cardiac motion, and thus, the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure. Of these, we focus on reduced temporal resolution and propose a neural network called FusionNet to obtain four-dimensional (4D) cardiac motion with high temporal resolution from CMR images captured in a short period of time. The model estimates intermediate 3D heart shapes based on adjacent shapes. The results of an experimental evaluation of the proposed FusionNet model showed that it achieved a performance of over 0.897 in terms of the Dice coefficient, confirming that it can recover shapes more precisely than existing methods.

Autonomous systems in the road transportation network require intelligent mechanisms that cope with uncertainty to foresee the future. In this paper, we propose a multi-stage probabilistic approach for trajectory forecasting: trajectory transformation to displacement space, clustering of displacement time series, trajectory proposals, and ranking proposals. We introduce a new deep feature clustering method, underlying self-conditioned GAN, which copes better with distribution shifts than traditional methods. Additionally, we propose novel distance-based ranking proposals to assign probabilities to the generated trajectories that are more efficient yet accurate than an auxiliary neural network. The overall system surpasses context-free deep generative models in human and road agents trajectory data while performing similarly to point estimators when comparing the most probable trajectory.
