R2H-Diff: Guided Spectral Diffusion Model for RGB-to-Hyperspectral Reconstruction

RGB-to-hyperspectral image reconstruction is a highly ill-posed inverse problem, since multiple plausible spectral distributions may correspond to the same RGB observation. Existing regression-based methods usually learn a deterministic mapping, which limits their ability to model reconstruction uncertainty and often leads to over-smoothed spectral responses. Although diffusion models provide strong distribution modeling capability, their direct application to hyperspectral reconstruction remains challenging due to the high spectral dimensionality, strong inter-band correlations, and strict requirement for spectral fidelity. To this end, we propose R2H-Diff, an efficient diffusion-based framework tailored for RGB-to-HSI reconstruction. Specifically, R2H-Diff formulates spectral recovery as a conditional iterative refinement process, enabling progressive reconstruction under RGB guidance. We proposed a Guided Spectral Refinement Module for RGB-conditioned feature fusion and a Hyperspectral-Adaptive Transposed Attention module for efficient spatial--spectral dependency modeling. Furthermore, a normalization-free denoising backbone is adopted to preserve spectral amplitude consistency, while a task-adapted linear noise schedule enables high-quality reconstruction with only five denoising steps. Extensive experiments on NTIRE2022, CAVE, and Harvard demonstrate that R2H-Diff achieves a favorable balance between reconstruction quality and computational efficiency. Notably, on NTIRE2022, R2H-Diff obtains 35.37 dB PSNR with a sub-million-parameter model of 0.58M parameters and 12.25G FLOPs, achieving the lowest model complexity among the evaluated methods while maintaining strong reconstruction fidelity.

IGADA-IoT: IoT Sensor Energy Optimization in Wireless Sensor Networks Driven by Automatic Data Augmentation

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), data augmentation is a novel method to improve sampling-frequency decision performance, thereby enabling energy optimization for IoT (Internet of Things) sensors. However, existing methods rely on a single generator and empirically determined quantities, failing to establish a mapping between dynamic information gaps and multiple generators, and overlooking the heterogeneity of generated samples. Moreover, an evaluation and a closed-loop method that jointly considers the information gap and the model performance are lacking. To address these issues, we propose an information gap-guided IoT sensor automatic data augmentation framework (IGADA-IoT) with hierarchical multi-generator collaboration and scheduling over multiple rounds. Capabilities of different generators are jointly utilized to reduce the information gaps. In the IGADA-IoT, a hierarchical multi-generator collaboration and scheduling strategy (HMGCS) is proposed to enhance the targetedness and rationality of generated sample allocation. An information gap-model performance joint evaluation and closed-loop method (IGMP-EC) is proposed to enhance the accuracy of augmentation decisions, and to mitigate the risks of under-augmentation and over-augmentation. Experimental results show that the IGADA-IoT improves the average accuracy of multiple downstream models by 7.27%. Compared with advanced data augmentation methods, the average accuracy is improved by 8.67%. Compared with the individual generators, the average accuracy is improved by 7.24%. Furthermore, public IoT sensor datasets from the UCR Archive and real-world deployments demonstrate the accuracy and generalizability of the proposed method.

Feature Recalibration Based Olfactory-Visual Multimodal Model for Enhanced Rice Deterioration Detection

Multimodal methods are widely used in rice deterioration detection, but they exhibit limited capability in representing and extracting fine-grained abnormal features. Moreover, these methods rely on devices such as hyperspectral cameras and mass spectrometers, which increase detection costs and prolong data acquisition time. To address these issues, we propose a feature recalibration based olfactory-visual multimodal model for enhanced rice deterioration detection. A fine-grained deterioration embedding constructor (FDEC) is proposed to reconstruct the labeled multimodal embedded feature dataset, thereby enhancing sample representation. A fine-grained deterioration recalibration attention network (FDRA-Net) is proposed to emphasize signal variations and improve sensitivity to fine-grained deterioration on the rice surface. Compared with SS-Net, the proposed method improves classification accuracy by 8.67%, with an average improvement of 11.51% over other traditional baseline models, while simultaneously simplifying the detection procedure. Furthermore, field detection results demonstrate advantages in both accuracy and operational simplicity. The proposed method can also be extended to other agrifood applications in agriculture and the food industry.

IT-OSE: Exploring Optimal Sample Size for Industrial Data Augmentation

In industrial scenarios, data augmentation is an effective approach to improve model performance. However, its benefits are not unidirectionally beneficial. There is no theoretical research or established estimation for the optimal sample size (OSS) in augmentation, nor is there an established metric to evaluate the accuracy of OSS or its deviation from the ground truth. To address these issues, we propose an information-theoretic optimal sample size estimation (IT-OSE) to provide reliable OSS estimation for industrial data augmentation. An interval coverage and deviation (ICD) score is proposed to evaluate the estimated OSS intuitively. The relationship between OSS and dominant factors is theoretically analyzed and formulated, thereby enhancing the interpretability. Experiments show that, compared to empirical estimation, the IT-OSE increases accuracy in classification tasks across baseline models by an average of 4.38%, and reduces MAPE in regression tasks across baseline models by an average of 18.80%. The improvements in downstream model performance are more stable. ICDdev in the ICD score is also reduced by an average of 49.30%. The determinism of OSS is enhanced. Compared to exhaustive search, the IT-OSE achieves the same OSS while reducing computational and data costs by an average of 83.97% and 93.46%. Furthermore, practicality experiments demonstrate that the IT-OSE exhibits generality across representative sensor-based industrial scenarios.

DS-Diffusion: Data Style-Guided Diffusion Model for Time-Series Generation

Diffusion models are the mainstream approach for time series generation tasks. However, existing diffusion models for time series generation require retraining the entire framework to introduce specific conditional guidance. There also exists a certain degree of distributional bias between the generated data and the real data, which leads to potential model biases in downstream tasks. Additionally, the complexity of diffusion models and the latent spaces leads to an uninterpretable inference process. To address these issues, we propose the data style-guided diffusion model (DS-Diffusion). In the DS-Diffusion, a diffusion framework based on style-guided kernels is developed to avoid retraining for specific conditions. The time-information based hierarchical denoising mechanism (THD) is developed to reduce the distributional bias between the generated data and the real data. Furthermore, the generated samples can clearly indicate the data style from which they originate. We conduct comprehensive evaluations using multiple public datasets to validate our approach. Experimental results show that, compared to the state-of-the-art model such as ImagenTime, the predictive score and the discriminative score decrease by 5.56% and 61.55%, respectively. The distributional bias between the generated data and the real data is further reduced, the inference process is also more interpretable. Moreover, by eliminating the need to retrain the diffusion model, the flexibility and adaptability of the model to specific conditions are also enhanced.
