Garlic (Allium sativum), an asexually propagated vegetable and medicinal crop, has abundant genetic variation.Genetic diversity evaluation based on molecular markers has apparent advantages since their genomic abundance, environment insensitivity, and non-tissue specific features.However, the limited number of available DNA markers, especially SSR
MotivationImage dehazing, as a key prerequisite of high-level computer vision tasks, has gained extensive attention in recent years.Traditional model-based methods acquire dehazed images via the atmospheric scattering model, which dehazed favorably but often causes artifacts due to the error of parameter estimation.By contrast, recent model-free me
