Held in Lingshui, Hainan, China, in December 14–16, 2023, the conference's website, http://www.iccip.org/, serves as a repository of invaluable information.

ICCIP 2023 is dedicated to exploring cutting-edge theories and mathematical applications within communication and information processing technologies, intending to revolutionize future developments.

Featuring world-class plenary speakers, technical symposiums, and specialized tracks, ICCIP 2023 invites original mathematical papers for inclusion in its proceedings. This international conference provides a pivotal platform for researchers to converge and explore mathematical complexities across diverse areas within this field.

Moreover, this Special Issue warmly invites manuscripts that complement the conference's themes and keywords, specifically focusing on mathematical aspects not previously presented at ICCIP 2023. Such contributions are encouraged to further the mathematical underpinnings of Communication and Information Processing: Theories and Applications.

In this paper, we introduce new constructions of one-coincidence frequency-hopping sequence (OC-FHS) sets over integer rings. These OC-FHSs are designed to minimize interference in frequency-hopping multiple access (FHMA) systems, which are widely used in various communication applications. By leveraging the properties of primitive elements in integer ring Zpn, we develop OC-FHS sets with lengths mpn1 for m dividing (p1), along with constructions with composite lengths based on linear functions. The proposed OC-FHS sets include parameters not previously addressed in the literature and encompass some known cases as special cases. Full article

Vehicle re-identification employs computer vision to determine the presence of specific vehicles in images or video sequences, often using vehicle appearance for identification due to the challenge of capturing complete license plate information. Addressing the performance issues caused by fog, such as image blur and loss of key positional information, this paper introduces a multi-task learning framework incorporating a multi-scale fusion defogging method (MsF). This method effectively mitigates image blur to produce clearer images, which are then processed by the re-identification branch. Additionally, a phase attention mechanism is introduced to adaptively preserve crucial details. Utilizing advanced artificial intelligence techniques and deep learning algorithms, the framework is evaluated on both synthetic and real datasets, showing significant improvements in mean average precision (mAP)—an increase of 2.5% to 87.8% on the synthetic dataset and 1.4% to 84.1% on the real dataset. These enhancements demonstrate the method’s superior performance over the semi-supervised joint defogging learning (SJDL) model, particularly under challenging foggy conditions, thus enhancing vehicle re-identification accuracy and deepening the understanding of applying multi-task learning frameworks in adverse visual environments.

As an immensely important characteristic of natural images, the nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) prior has demonstrated great promise in a variety of inverse problems. Unfortunately, most current methods utilize either the internal or the external NSS prior learned from the degraded image or training images. The former is inevitably disturbed by degradation, while the latter is not adapted to the image to be restored. To mitigate such problems, this work proposes to learn a hybrid NSS prior from both internal images and external training images and employs it in image restoration tasks. To achieve our aims, we first learn internal and external NSS priors from the measured image and high-quality image sets, respectively. Then, with the learned priors, an efficient method, involving only singular value decomposition (SVD) and a simple weighting method, is developed to learn the HNSS prior for patch groups. Subsequently, taking the learned HNSS prior as the dictionary, we formulate a structural sparse representation model with adaptive regularization parameters called HNSS-SSR for image restoration, and a general and efficient image restoration algorithm is developed via an alternating minimization strategy. The experimental results indicate that the proposed HNSS-SSR-based restoration method exceeds many existing competition algorithms in PSNR and SSIM values. Full article
