Defocus blur is a persistent problem in microscope imaging that poses harm to pathology interpretation and medical intervention in cell microscopy and microscope surgery. To address this problem, a unified framework including the multi-pyramid transformer (MPT) and extended frequency contrastive regularization (EFCR) is proposed to tackle two outstanding challenges in microscopy deblur: longer attention span and data deficiency. The MPT employs an explicit pyramid structure at each network stage that integrates the cross-scale window attention (CSWA), the intra-scale channel attention (ISCA), and the feature-enhancing feed-forward network (FEFN) to capture long-range cross-scale spatial interaction and global channel context. The EFCR addresses the data deficiency problem by exploring latent deblur signals from different frequency bands. It also enables deblur knowledge transfer to learn cross-domain information from extra data, improving deblur performance for labeled and unlabeled data. Extensive experiments and downstream task validation show the framework achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple datasets. Project page: https://github.com/PieceZhang/MPT-CataBlur.

Sensor drift is a long-existing unpredictable problem that deteriorates the performance of gaseous substance recognition, calling for an antidrift domain adaptation algorithm. However, the prerequisite for traditional methods to achieve fine results is to have data from both nondrift distributions (source domain) and drift distributions (target domain) for domain alignment, which is usually unrealistic and unachievable in real-life scenarios. To compensate for this, in this paper, deep learning based on a target-domain-free domain adaptation convolutional neural network (TDACNN) is proposed. The main concept is that CNNs extract not only the domain-specific features of samples but also the domain-invariant features underlying both the source and target domains. Making full use of these various levels of embedding features can lead to comprehensive utilization of different levels of characteristics, thus achieving drift compensation by the extracted intermediate features between two domains. In the TDACNN, a flexible multibranch backbone with a multiclassifier structure is proposed under the guidance of bionics, which utilizes multiple embedding features comprehensively without involving target domain data during training. A classifier ensemble method based on maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) is proposed to evaluate all the classifiers jointly based on the credibility of the pseudolabel. To optimize network training, an additive angular margin softmax loss with parameter dynamic adjustment is utilized. Experiments on two drift datasets under different settings demonstrate the superiority of TDACNN compared with several state-of-the-art methods.
