Current public sign language datasets are small and lack diversity, which does not meet the practical application requirements for SLRT. However, making a large-scale and diverse sign language dataset is difficult as sign language data on the Internet is scarce. In making a large-scale and diverse sign language dataset, some sign language data qualities are not up to standard. This paper proposes a two information streams transformer(TIST) model to judge whether the quality of sign language data is qualified. To verify that TIST effectively improves sign language recognition(SLR), we make two datasets, the screened dataset and the unscreened dataset. In this experiment, this paper uses visual alignment constraint(VAC) as the baseline model. The experimental results show that the screened dataset can achieve better word error rate(WER) than the unscreened dataset.展开更多

It has always been a challenge to quantitatively analyze the function and effect of information flow through command, control, communications, computer, kill, intelligence,surveillance, reconnaissance (C4KISR) system. In this work, we propose a framework of force of information influence and the methods for calculating the force of information influence between C4KISR nodes of sensing, intelligence processing,decision making and fire attack. Specifically, the basic concept of force of information influence between nodes in C4KISR system is formally proposed and its mathematical definition is provided. Then, based on the information entropy theory, the model of force of information influence between C4KISR system nodes is constructed. Finally, the simulation experiments have been performed under an air defense and attack scenario. The experimental results show that, with the proposed force of information influence framework, we can effectively evaluate the contribution of information circulation through different C4KISR system nodes to the corresponding tasks. Our framework of force of information influence can also serve as an effective tool for the design and dynamic reconfiguration of C4KISR system architecture.展开更多

Individuals communicate to acquire relevant knowledge about an epidemic, which influences their decisions to adopt protective measures.However, whether to disseminate specific information is also a behavioral decision. In light of this understanding, we develop a coupled information–vaccination–epidemic model to depict these co-evolutionary dynamics in a three-layer network. Negative information dissemination and vaccination are treated as separate decision-making processes. We then examine the combined effects of herd and risk motives on information dissemination and vaccination decisions through the lens of game theory. The microscopic Markov chain approach(MMCA) is used to describe the dynamic process and to derive the epidemic threshold. Simulation results indicate that increasing the cost of negative information dissemination and providing timely clarification can effectively control the epidemic. Furthermore, a phenomenon of diminishing marginal utility is observed as the cost of dissemination increases, suggesting that authorities do not need to overinvest in suppressing negative information. Conversely, reducing the cost of vaccination and increasing vaccine efficacy emerge as more effective strategies for outbreak control. In addition, we find that the scale of the epidemic is greater when the herd motive dominates behavioral decision-making. In conclusion, this study provides a new perspective for understanding the complexity of epidemic spreading by starting with the construction of different behavioral decisions.展开更多

文摘The existing Low-Earth-Orbit(LEO)positioning performance cannot meet the requirements of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)clusters for high-precision real-time positioning in the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)denial conditions.Therefore,this paper proposes a UAV Clusters Information Geometry Fusion Positioning(UC-IGFP)method using pseudoranges from the LEO satellites.A novel graph model for linking and computing between the UAV clusters and LEO satellites was established.By utilizing probability to describe the positional states of UAVs and sensor errors,the distributed multivariate Probability Fusion Cooperative Positioning(PF-CP)algorithm is proposed to achieve high-precision cooperative positioning and integration of the cluster.Criteria to select the centroid of the cluster were set.A new Kalman filter algorithm that is suitable for UAV clusters was designed based on the global benchmark and Riemann information geometry theory,which overcomes the discontinuity problem caused by the change of cluster centroids.Finally,the UC-IGFP method achieves the LEO continuous highprecision positioning of UAV clusters.The proposed method effectively addresses the positioning challenges caused by the strong direction of signal beams from LEO satellites and the insufficient constraint quantity of information sources at the edge nodes of the cluster.It significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of LEO-UAV cluster positioning.The results of comprehensive simulation experiments show that the proposed method has a 30.5%improvement in performance over the mainstream positioning methods,with a positioning error of 14.267 m.

文摘With the rapid development of holographic technology,metasurface-based holographic communication schemes have demonstrated immense potential for electromagnetic(EM)multifunctionality.However,traditional passive metasurfaces are severely limited by their lack of reconfigurability,hindering the realization of versatile holographic applications.Origami,an art form that mechanically induces spatial deformations,serves as a platform for multifunctional devices and has garnered significant attention in optics,physics,and materials science.The Miura-ori folding paradigm,characterized by its continuous reconfigurability in folded states,remains unexplored in the context of holographic imaging.Herein,we integrate the principles of Rosenfeld with L-and D-metal chiral enantiomers on a Miura-ori surface to tailor the aperture distribution.Leveraging the continuously tunable nature of the Miura-ori's folded states,the chiral response of the metallic structures varies across different folding configurations,enabling distinct EM holographic imaging functionalities.In the planar state,holographic encryption is achieved.Under specific folding conditions and driven by spin circularly polarized(CP)waves at a particular frequency,multiplexed holographic images can be reconstructed on designated focal planes with CP selectivity.Notably,the fabricated origami metasurface exhibits a large negative Poisson ratio,facilitating portability and deployment and offering novel avenues for spin-selective systems,camouflage,and information encryption.

文摘The security of information transmission and processing due to unknown vulnerabilities and backdoors in cyberspace is becoming increasingly problematic.However,there is a lack of effective theory to mathematically demonstrate the security of information transmission and processing under nonrandom noise(or vulnerability backdoor attack)conditions in cyberspace.This paper first proposes a security model for cyberspace information transmission and processing channels based on error correction coding theory.First,we analyze the fault tolerance and non-randomness problem of Dynamic Heterogeneous Redundancy(DHR)structured information transmission and processing channel under the condition of non-random noise or attacks.Secondly,we use a mathematical statistical method to demonstrate that for non-random noise(or attacks)on discrete memory channels,there exists a DHR-structured channel and coding scheme that enables the average system error probability to be arbitrarily small.Finally,to construct suitable coding and heterogeneous channels,we take Turbo code as an example and simulate the effects of different heterogeneity,redundancy,output vector length,verdict algorithm and dynamism on the system,which is an important guidance for theory and engineering practice.

文摘Images with complementary spectral information can be recorded using image sensors that can identify visible and near-infrared spectrum.The fusion of visible and nearinfrared(NIR)aims to enhance the quality of images acquired by video monitoring systems for the ease of user observation and data processing.Unfortunately,current fusion algorithms produce artefacts and colour distortion since they cannot make use of spectrum properties and are lacking in information complementarity.Therefore,an information complementarity fusion(ICF)model is designed based on physical signals.In order to separate high-frequency noise from important information in distinct frequency layers,the authors first extracted texture-scale and edge-scale layers using a two-scale filter.Second,the difference map between visible and near-infrared was filtered using the extended-DoG filter to produce the initial visible-NIR complementary weight map.Then,to generate a guide map,the near-infrared image with night adjustment was processed as well.The final complementarity weight map was subsequently derived via an arctanI function mapping using the guide map and the initial weight maps.Finally,fusion images were generated with the complementarity weight maps.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art in both avoiding artificial colours as well as effectively utilising information complementarity.

文摘Information plays a crucial role in guiding behavioral decisions during public health emergencies. Individuals communicate to acquire relevant knowledge about an epidemic, which influences their decisions to adopt protective measures.However, whether to disseminate specific information is also a behavioral decision. In light of this understanding, we develop a coupled information–vaccination–epidemic model to depict these co-evolutionary dynamics in a three-layer network. Negative information dissemination and vaccination are treated as separate decision-making processes. We then examine the combined effects of herd and risk motives on information dissemination and vaccination decisions through the lens of game theory. The microscopic Markov chain approach(MMCA) is used to describe the dynamic process and to derive the epidemic threshold. Simulation results indicate that increasing the cost of negative information dissemination and providing timely clarification can effectively control the epidemic. Furthermore, a phenomenon of diminishing marginal utility is observed as the cost of dissemination increases, suggesting that authorities do not need to overinvest in suppressing negative information. Conversely, reducing the cost of vaccination and increasing vaccine efficacy emerge as more effective strategies for outbreak control. In addition, we find that the scale of the epidemic is greater when the herd motive dominates behavioral decision-making. In conclusion, this study provides a new perspective for understanding the complexity of epidemic spreading by starting with the construction of different behavioral decisions.
