文摘Retinal vessel segmentation in fundus images plays an essential role in the screening,diagnosis,and treatment of many diseases.The acquired fundus images generally have the following problems:uneven illumination,high noise,and complex structure.It makes vessel segmentation very challenging.Previous methods of retinal vascular segmentation mainly use convolutional neural networks on U Network(U-Net)models,and they have many limitations and shortcomings,such as the loss of microvascular details at the end of the vessels.We address the limitations of convolution by introducing the transformer into retinal vessel segmentation.Therefore,we propose a hybrid method for retinal vessel segmentation based on modulated deformable convolution and the transformer,named DT-Net.Firstly,multi-scale image features are extracted by deformable convolution and multi-head selfattention(MHSA).Secondly,image information is recovered,and vessel morphology is refined by the proposed transformer decoder block.Finally,the local prediction results are obtained by the side output layer.The accuracy of the vessel segmentation is improved by the hybrid loss function.Experimental results show that our method obtains good segmentation performance on Specificity(SP),Sensitivity(SE),Accuracy(ACC),Curve(AUC),and F1-score on three publicly available fundus datasets such as DRIVE,STARE,and CHASE_DB1.
文摘In order to solve the shortcomings of current fatigue detection methods such as low accuracy or poor real-time performance,a fatigue detection method based on multi-feature fusion is proposed.Firstly,the HOG face detection algorithm and KCF target tracking algorithm are integrated and deformable convolutional neural network is introduced to identify the state of extracted eyes and mouth,fast track the detected faces and extract continuous and stable target faces for more efficient extraction.Then the head pose algorithm is introduced to detect the driver’s head in real time and obtain the driver’s head state information.Finally,a multi-feature fusion fatigue detection method is proposed based on the state of the eyes,mouth and head.According to the experimental results,the proposed method can detect the driver’s fatigue state in real time with high accuracy and good robustness compared with the current fatigue detection algorithms.
文摘Document images often contain various page components and complex logical structures,which make document layout analysis task challenging.For most deep learning-based document layout analysis methods,convolutional neural networks(CNNs)are adopted as the feature extraction networks.In this paper,a hybrid spatial-channel attention network(HSCA-Net)is proposed to improve feature extraction capability by introducing attention mechanism to explore more salient properties within document pages.The HSCA-Net consists of spatial attention module(SAM),channel attention module(CAM),and designed lateral attention connection.CAM adaptively adjusts channel feature responses by emphasizing selective information,which depends on the contribution of the features of each channel.SAM guides CNNs to focus on the informative contents and capture global context information among page objects.The lateral attention connection incorporates SAM and CAM into multiscale feature pyramid network,and thus retains original feature information.The effectiveness and adaptability of HSCA-Net are evaluated through multiple experiments on publicly available datasets such as PubLayNet,ICDAR-POD,and Article Regions.Experimental results demonstrate that HSCA-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance on document layout analysis task.

文摘Background Recurrent recovery is a common method for video super-resolution(VSR)that models the correlation between frames via hidden states.However,the application of this structure in real-world scenarios can lead to unsatisfactory artifacts.We found that in real-world VSR training,the use of unknown and complex degradation can better simulate the degradation process in the real world.Methods Based on this,we propose the RealFuVSR model,which simulates real-world degradation and mitigates artifacts caused by the VSR.Specifically,we propose a multiscale feature extraction module(MSF)module that extracts and fuses features from multiple scales,thereby facilitating the elimination of hidden state artifacts.To improve the accuracy of the hidden state alignment information,RealFuVSR uses an advanced optical flow-guided deformable convolution.Moreover,a cascaded residual upsampling module was used to eliminate noise caused by the upsampling process.Results The experiment demonstrates that RealFuVSR model can not only recover high-quality videos but also outperforms the state-of-the-art RealBasicVSR and RealESRGAN models.
文摘Space-time video super-resolution(STVSR)serves the purpose to reconstruct high-resolution high-frame-rate videos from their low-resolution low-frame-rate counterparts.Recent approaches utilize end-to-end deep learning models to achieve STVSR.They first interpolate intermediate frame features between given frames,then perform local and global refinement among the feature sequence,and finally increase the spatial resolutions of these features.However,in the most important feature interpolation phase,they only capture spatial-temporal information from the most adjacent frame features,ignoring modelling long-term spatial-temporal correlations between multiple neighbouring frames to restore variable-speed object movements and maintain long-term motion continuity.In this paper,we propose a novel long-term temporal feature aggregation network(LTFA-Net)for STVSR.Specifically,we design a long-term mixture of experts(LTMoE)module for feature interpolation.LTMoE contains multiple experts to extract mutual and complementary spatial-temporal information from multiple consecutive adjacent frame features,which are then combined with different weights to obtain interpolation results using several gating nets.Next,we perform local and global feature refinement using the Locally-temporal Feature Comparison(LFC)module and bidirectional deformable ConvLSTM layer,respectively.Experimental results on two standard benchmarks,Adobe240 and GoPro,indicate the effectiveness and superiority of our approach over state of the art.

文摘The YOLOv5 algorithm is widely used in edge computing systems for object detection.However,the limited computing resources of embedded devices and the large model size of existing deep learning based methods increase the difficulty of real-time object detection on edge devices.To address this issue,we propose a smaller,less computationally intensive,and more accurate algorithm for object detection.Multi-scale Feature Fusion-YOLO(MFF-YOLO)is built on top of the YOLOv5s framework,but it contains substantial improvements to YOLOv5s.First,we design the MFF module to improve the feature propagation path in the feature pyramid,which further integrates the semantic information from different paths of feature layers.Then,a large convolution-kernel module is used in the bottleneck.The structure enlarges the receptive field and preserves shallow semantic information,which overcomes the performance limitation arising from uneven propagation in Feature Pyramid Networks(FPN).In addition,a multi-branch downsampling method based on depthwise separable convolutions and a bottleneck structure with deformable convolutions are designed to reduce the complexity of the backbone network and minimize the real-time performance loss caused by the increased model complexity.The experimental results on PASCAL VOC and MS COCO datasets show that,compared with YOLOv5s,MFF-YOLO reduces the number of parameters by 7%and the number of FLoating point Operations Per second(FLOPs)by 11.8%.The mAP@0.5 has improved by 3.7%and 5.5%,and the mAP@0.5:0.95 has improved by 6.5%and 6.2%,respetively.Furthermore,compared with YOLOv7-tiny,PP-YOLO-tiny,and other mainstream methods,MFF-YOLO has achieved better results on multiple indicators.
