This paper proposes a Mamba-based Hybrid Dual-Branch Network (MHDBN) for high-quality multi-focus image fusion (MFIF). The network employs a parallel Mamba-ConvNeXt architecture. The Mamba branch efficiently captures long-range dependencies, while the ConvNeXt branch reinforces local texture representation. These branches are progressively aligned in the Hierarchical Feature Interaction Module (HFIM) and leverage the Multi-Scale Feature Aggregation Module (MSFAM) to adaptively emphasize in-focus regions. Finally, aided by an upsampling module, the model generates precise decision maps and fused outputs. On the three public datasets of Lytro, MFFW and SAVIC, a systematic comparison with 13 of the latest MFIF methods on 12 objective metrics demonstrate that MHDBN achieves the best performance on 6, 10, and 9 metrics, respectively. Notably, on SAVIC MHDBN improves mutual information (MI) by 17.4 % over the second-best method. Extensive quantitative and qualitative results collectively validate the overall superiority of MHDBN.

Limited depth of field in modern optical imaging systems often results in partially focused images. Multi-focus image fusion (MFF) addresses this by synthesizing an all-in-focus image from multiple source images captured at different focal planes. While deep learning-based MFF methods have shown promising results, existing approaches face significant challenges.

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) combines the high contrast of optical imaging with deep tissue penetration via ultrasound detection. However, hardware limitations often cause sparse sampling during image acquisition, resulting in disruptive streak artifacts that many current deep-learning methods fail to remove effectively. In this paper, we introduce Residual Condition Optimal Transport Mamba (RCMamba)-a novel framework that enhances residual optimal transport by integrating wavelet-based analysis with a hybrid multi-scale state space model backbone, specifically designed for sparse PAT image restoration.

Motor imagery (MI) decoding remains a critical challenge in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems due to the low signal-to-noise ratio, non-stationarity, and complex spatiotemporal dynamics of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Although deep learning architectures have advanced MI-EEG decoding, existing approaches-including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Transformers, and recurrent neural networks (RNNs)-still face limitations in capturing global temporal dependencies, maintaining positional coherence, and ensuring computational efficiency. To address these challenges, we propose MIFNet, a MamBa-based Interactive Frequency Convolutional Neural Network that systematically integrates spectral, spatial, and temporal feature extraction.

In medical image segmentation, traditional CNN-based models excel at extracting local features but have limitations in capturing global features. Conversely, Mamba, a novel network framework, effectively captures long-range feature dependencies and excels in processing linearly arranged image inputs, albeit at the cost of overlooking fine spatial relationships and local pixel interactions. This limitation highlights the need for hybrid approaches that combine the strengths of both architectures.
