To overcome these challenges, this study introduces Adaptive Efficient and Dynamic-YOLO11 (AED-YOLO11), a novel detection framework built upon the YOLO11 architecture with specialized enhancements for small object recognition. Specifically, the model introduces the following innovations: First, the Adaptive Frequency Domain Aggregation (AFDA) module dynamically aggregates features using frequency-domain information and channel-wise weighting, resolving frequency inconsistencies in small object images. Second, the Efficient Attention Compression (EAC) module significantly reduces computational costs by compressing channel dimensions and fusing features, thereby improving feature extraction capabilities. Third, the Dynamic Upsampling (DySample) module enhances spatial transformation capabilities through dynamic sampling of input feature maps. Finally, the Wise-IoU(WIoU) loss function is applied to improve detection performance on low-quality samples. Additionally, the detection head structure is optimized to better suit small object detection needs. Collectively, these improvements enhance the model's accuracy and computational efficiency, demonstrating superior performance in complex scenarios.

First, the decomposition network decouples the input image into reflectance and illumination components while preserving structural features. Then, a diffusion model is introduced to progressively denoise the reflectance component, with a customized denoising loss designed to enhance detail restoration. Finally, DT-Retinex adopts an encoder-decoder architecture for illumination enhancement: the encoder extracts multi-level features and leverages the LIT module to model global illumination, while the decoder incorporates CBAM attention to emphasize key regions and adaptively adjust lighting information during spatial reconstruction. Experimental results show that DT-Retinex outperforms existing methods on several benchmark datasets, achieving excellent performance on PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS, as well as better perceptual naturalness and consistency under no-reference metrics such as NIQE and BRISQUE.

In this study, we introduce Dual Dynamic Kernel Filtering (2DKF) for time-frequency decomposition, emphasizing how kernel selection influences signal representation, reconstruction accuracy, and overall filtering performance. To overcome the limitations associated with signal-dependent single-kernel methods, we propose an innovative Dual hybrid kernel strategy that adaptively integrates multiple kernel functions to capture a wide array of signal characteristics. This approach significantly improves temporal alignment via Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), robustly preserves signal distributions as evidenced by quantile-quantile (QQ) plot analyses, and maintains high frequency fidelity during the filtering process. Extensive experimental comparisons against traditional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and S-transform filtering, conducted under varying noise conditions, including synthetic noisy ECG with white noise, colored noise (brown and pink), and naturally noisy ECG, demonstrate that our dual hybrid kernel method substantially enhances robustness and consistency in signal reconstruction. Furthermore, we compare our approach with Recursive Multikernel Filtering (RMKF) technique for a benchmark nonlinear signal corrupted by structured noise, alongside wavelet and S-transform techniques. Evaluation metrics, including normalized mean square error (nMSE), root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficients, confirm the superior performance of the proposed approach.

However, in actual communication environments, the AMR method is required to have strong generalization ability due to the complexity and variability of multipath channels. Thus, we propose a sample-transferable and branch-scalable method suitable for signals in different multipath channels. According to the generation principle of multipath signals, we first estimate the multipath signals based on the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm to obtain characteristic parameters such as the number of paths and the direction of arrival. Then we decompose the multipath signals into multi-branch single-path signals using the estimation results. On this basis, we propose a multi-branch neural network trained with signals in the AWGN channel, with the decomposed multi-branch single-path signals serving as inputs. Hence, sample transfer from the training signals in the AWGN channel to the test signals in the multipath channel can be realized, significantly improving the generalization ability of the network. Moreover, we introduce the attention mechanism module to perform feature-level fusion on multi-branch signals, and use multipath signals to obtain additional recognition gain compared to single-path signals. In response to the uncertainty of multipath number in complex multipath channel environments, we propose a branch-scalable dynamic neural network (BSDNN) with novel “dual-branch training, multi-branch recognition”, and realize the recognition of multipath signals with arbitrary path number using the network structure trained with dual-branch signals. The experimental results show that our proposed BSDNN trained with the dual-branch signals in the AWGN channel can successfully transfer to modulation recognition of multipath signals with any number of paths.
