A core challenge for signal data recovery is to model the distribution of signal matrix (SM) data based on measured low-quality data in biomedical engineering of magnetic particle imaging (MPI). For acquiring the high-resolution (high-quality) SM, the number of meticulous measurements at numerous positions in the field-of-view proves time-consuming (measurement of a 37x37x37 SM takes about 32 hours). To improve reconstructed signal quality and shorten SM measurement time, existing methods explore to generating high-resolution SM based on time-saving measured low-resolution SM (a 9x9x9 SM just takes about 0.5 hours). However, previous methods show poor performance for high-frequency signal recovery in SM. To achieve a high-resolution SM recovery and shorten its acquisition time, we propose a frequency-domain structure consistency loss function and data component embedding strategy to model global and local structural information of SM. We adopt a transformer-based network to evaluate this function and the strategy. We evaluate our methods and state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods on the two simulation datasets and four public measured SMs in Open MPI Data. The results show that our method outperforms the SOTA methods in high-frequency structural signal recovery. Additionally, our method can recover a high-resolution SM with clear high-frequency structure based on a down-sampling factor of 16 less than 15 seconds, which accelerates the acquisition time over 60 times faster than the measurement-based HR SM with the minimum error (nRMSE=0.041). Moreover, our method is applied in our three in-house MPI systems, and boost their performance for signal reconstruction.
Can We Transfer Noise Patterns? A Multi-environment Spectrum Analysis Model Using Generated Cases

Spectrum analysis systems in online water quality testing are designed to detect types and concentrations of pollutants and enable regulatory agencies to respond promptly to pollution incidents. However, spectral data-based testing devices suffer from complex noise patterns when deployed in non-laboratory environments. To make the analysis model applicable to more environments, we propose a noise patterns transferring model, which takes the spectrum of standard water samples in different environments as cases and learns the differences in their noise patterns, thus enabling noise patterns to transfer to unknown samples. Unfortunately, the inevitable sample-level baseline noise makes the model unable to obtain the paired data that only differ in dataset-level environmental noise. To address the problem, we generate a sample-to-sample case-base to exclude the interference of sample-level noise on dataset-level noise learning, enhancing the system's learning performance. Experiments on spectral data with different background noises demonstrate the good noise-transferring ability of the proposed method against baseline systems ranging from wavelet denoising, deep neural networks, and generative models. From this research, we posit that our method can enhance the performance of DL models by generating high-quality cases.
