To address this issue, a multi-scale object detection algorithm based on an improved YOLOv8 has been proposed. Firstly, a lightweight attention mechanism, Triplet Attention, is introduced to enhance the algorithm’s ability to extract multi-dimensional and multi-scale features, thereby improving the receptive capability of the feature maps. Secondly, the Diverse Branch Block (DBB) is integrated into the CSP Bottleneck with two Convolutions (C2F) module to strengthen the fusion of semantic information across different layers. Thirdly, a new decoupled detection head is proposed by redesigning the original network head based on the Diverse Branch Block module to improve detection accuracy and reduce missed and false detections. Finally, the Minimum Point Distance based Intersection-over-Union (MPDIoU) is used to replace the original YOLOv8 Complete Intersection-over-Union (CIoU) to accelerate the network’s training convergence. Comparative experiments and dehazing pre-processing tests were conducted on the RTTS and VOC-Fog datasets.

文摘In foggy traffic scenarios, existing object detection algorithms face challenges such as low detection accuracy, poor robustness, occlusion, missed detections, and false detections. To address this issue, a multi-scale object detection algorithm based on an improved YOLOv8 has been proposed. Firstly, a lightweight attention mechanism, Triplet Attention, is introduced to enhance the algorithm’s ability to extract multi-dimensional and multi-scale features, thereby improving the receptive capability of the feature maps. Secondly, the Diverse Branch Block (DBB) is integrated into the CSP Bottleneck with two Convolutions (C2F) module to strengthen the fusion of semantic information across different layers. Thirdly, a new decoupled detection head is proposed by redesigning the original network head based on the Diverse Branch Block module to improve detection accuracy and reduce missed and false detections. Finally, the Minimum Point Distance based Intersection-over-Union (MPDIoU) is used to replace the original YOLOv8 Complete Intersection-over-Union (CIoU) to accelerate the network’s training convergence. Comparative experiments and dehazing pre-processing tests were conducted on the RTTS and VOC-Fog datasets. Compared to the baseline YOLOv8 model, the improved algorithm achieved mean Average Precision (mAP) improvements of 4.6% and 3.8%, respectively. After defogging pre-processing, the mAP increased by 5.3% and 4.4%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the improved algorithm exhibits high practicality and effectiveness in foggy traffic scenarios.

文摘Accurate and real-time road defect detection is essential for ensuring traffic safety and infrastructure maintenance.However,existing vision-based methods often struggle with small,sparse,and low-resolution defects under complex road conditions.To address these limitations,we propose Multi-Scale Guided Detection YOLO(MGD-YOLO),a novel lightweight and high-performance object detector built upon You Only Look Once Version 5(YOLOv5).The proposed model integrates three key components:(1)a Multi-Scale Dilated Attention(MSDA)module to enhance semantic feature extraction across varying receptive fields;(2)Depthwise Separable Convolution(DSC)to reduce computational cost and improve model generalization;and(3)a Visual Global Attention Upsampling(VGAU)module that leverages high-level contextual information to refine low-level features for precise localization.Extensive experiments on three public road defect benchmarks demonstrate that MGD-YOLO outperforms state-of-the-art models in both detection accuracy and efficiency.Notably,our model achieves 87.9%accuracy in crack detection,88.3%overall precision on TD-RD dataset,while maintaining fast inference speed and a compact architecture.These results highlight the potential of MGD-YOLO for deployment in real-time,resource-constrained scenarios,paving the way for practical and scalable intelligent road maintenance systems.

文摘Detecting surface defects on unused rails is crucial for evaluating rail quality and durability to ensure the safety of rail transportation.However,existing detection methods often struggle with challenges such as complex defect morphology,texture similarity,and fuzzy edges,leading to poor accuracy and missed detections.In order to resolve these problems,we propose MSCM-Net(Multi-Scale Cross-Modal Network),a multiscale cross-modal framework focused on detecting rail surface defects.MSCM-Net introduces an attention mechanism to dynamically weight the fusion of RGB and depth maps,effectively capturing and enhancing features at different scales for each modality.To further enrich feature representation and improve edge detection in blurred areas,we propose a multi-scale void fusion module that integrates multi-scale feature information.To improve cross-modal feature fusion,we develop a cross-enhanced fusion module that transfers fused features between layers to incorporate interlayer information.We also introduce a multimodal feature integration module,which merges modality-specific features from separate decoders into a shared decoder,enhancing detection by leveraging richer complementary information.Finally,we validate MSCM-Net on the NEU RSDDS-AUG RGB-depth dataset,comparing it against 12 leading methods,and the results show that MSCM-Net achieves superior performance on all metrics.
文摘Due to multi-scale variations and occlusion problems,accurate traffic road pedestrian detection faces great challenges.This paper proposes an improved pedestrian detection method called Multi Scales Attention-YOLOv5x(MSA-YOLOv5x)based on the YOLOv5x framework.Firstly,by replacing the first convolutional operation of the backbone network with the Focus module,this method expands the number of image input channels to enhance feature expressiveness.Secondly,we construct C3_CBAM module instead of the original C3 module for better feature fusion.In this way,the learning process could achieve more multi-scale features and occluded pedestrian target features through channel attention and spatial attention.Additionally,a new feature pyramid detection layer and a new detection channel are embedded in the feature fusion part for enhancing multi-scale pedestrian detection accuracy.Compared with the baseline methods,experimental results on a public dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves optimal detection accuracy for traffic road pedestrian detection.

文摘As the use of deepfake facial videos proliferate,the associated threats to social security and integrity cannot be overstated.Effective methods for detecting forged facial videos are thus urgently needed.While many deep learning-based facial forgery detection approaches show promise,they often fail to delve deeply into the complex relationships between image features and forgery indicators,limiting their effectiveness to specific forgery techniques.To address this challenge,we propose a dual-branch collaborative deepfake detection network.The network processes video frame images as input,where a specialized noise extraction module initially extracts the noise feature maps.Subsequently,the original facial images and corresponding noise maps are directed into two parallel feature extraction branches to concurrently learn texture and noise forgery clues.An attention mechanism is employed between the two branches to facilitate mutual guidance and enhancement of texture and noise features across four different scales.This dual-modal feature integration enhances sensitivity to forgery artifacts and boosts generalization ability across various forgery techniques.Features from both branches are then effectively combined and processed through a multi-layer perception layer to distinguish between real and forged video.Experimental results on benchmark deepfake detection datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of detection performance,accuracy,and generalization ability.

文摘Remote sensing imagery,due to its high altitude,presents inherent challenges characterized by multiple scales,limited target areas,and intricate backgrounds.These inherent traits often lead to increased miss and false detection rates when applying object recognition algorithms tailored for remote sensing imagery.Additionally,these complexities contribute to inaccuracies in target localization and hinder precise target categorization.This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a solution:The YOLO-MFD model(YOLO-MFD:Remote Sensing Image Object Detection withMulti-scale Fusion Dynamic Head).Before presenting our method,we delve into the prevalent issues faced in remote sensing imagery analysis.Specifically,we emphasize the struggles of existing object recognition algorithms in comprehensively capturing critical image features amidst varying scales and complex backgrounds.To resolve these issues,we introduce a novel approach.First,we propose the implementation of a lightweight multi-scale module called CEF.This module significantly improves the model’s ability to comprehensively capture important image features by merging multi-scale feature information.It effectively addresses the issues of missed detection and mistaken alarms that are common in remote sensing imagery.Second,an additional layer of small target detection heads is added,and a residual link is established with the higher-level feature extraction module in the backbone section.This allows the model to incorporate shallower information,significantly improving the accuracy of target localization in remotely sensed images.Finally,a dynamic head attentionmechanism is introduced.This allows themodel to exhibit greater flexibility and accuracy in recognizing shapes and targets of different sizes.Consequently,the precision of object detection is significantly improved.The trial results show that the YOLO-MFD model shows improvements of 6.3%,3.5%,and 2.5%over the original YOLOv8 model in Precision,map@0.5 and map@0.5:0.95,separately.These results illustrate the clear advantages of the method.

文摘Accurately identifying small objects in high-resolution aerial images presents a complex and crucial task in thefield of small object detection on unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs).This task is challenging due to variations inUAV flight altitude,differences in object scales,as well as factors like flight speed and motion blur.To enhancethe detection efficacy of small targets in drone aerial imagery,we propose an enhanced You Only Look Onceversion 7(YOLOv7)algorithm based on multi-scale spatial context.We build the MSC-YOLO model,whichincorporates an additional prediction head,denoted as P2,to improve adaptability for small objects.We replaceconventional downsampling with a Spatial-to-Depth Convolutional Combination(CSPDC)module to mitigatethe loss of intricate feature details related to small objects.Furthermore,we propose a Spatial Context Pyramidwith Multi-Scale Attention(SCPMA)module,which captures spatial and channel-dependent features of smalltargets acrossmultiple scales.This module enhances the perception of spatial contextual features and the utilizationof multiscale feature information.On the Visdrone2023 and UAVDT datasets,MSC-YOLO achieves remarkableresults,outperforming the baseline method YOLOv7 by 3.0%in terms ofmean average precision(mAP).The MSCYOLOalgorithm proposed in this paper has demonstrated satisfactory performance in detecting small targets inUAV aerial photography,providing strong support for practical applications.
文摘As the main equipment of coal mining production,the anomaly detection of shearer is important to ensure production efficiency and coal mine safety.One key challenge lies in the limited or even absence of labeled monitoring data for the equipment,coupled with the high costs associated with manual annotation.Another challenge stems from the complex structure of the mining machines,making it difficult to reflect the overall operational state through local anomaly detection.Consequently,the application of decoupled local anomaly detection for mining machines in practical production remains challenging.This paper presents an unsupervised learning-based method for detecting anomalies in shearer.The method includes a module for constructing a Multi-scale Correlation Matrix(MSCM)of mining machine operating conditions,as well as the CNN-ConvLSTM Autoencoder(C-CLA)network.The module for constructing an MSCM enhances the representation of interrelationships between various features of the equipment from different perspectives using multiple correlation analysis methods.The C-CLA network integrates convolutional and convolutional recurrent neural networks,with the convolutional structure extracting local spatial features and the ConvLSTM structure further capturing information from different time scales and feature scales,thereby enhancing the model’s perceptual capabilities towards changes in equipment status.Finally,shearer anomaly detection is achieved through the analysis of reconstructed residual matrices.The rationality and practicality of the proposed method have been validated on our dataset,and the model’s generalization capability has been verified through repeated experiments in similar scenarios.However,due to variations in the working environment of different mining faces and differences in equipment models,implementing detection on other mining faces often requires retraining the model with new data.Furthermore,we compared our method with other anomaly detection techniques,and our detection efficiency was superior by approximately 3%.This method effectively detects anomalies in the shearer.

文摘Pine wood nematode infection is a devastating disease.Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)remote sensing enables timely and precise monitoring.However,UAV aerial images are challenged by small target size and complex sur-face backgrounds which hinder their effectiveness in moni-toring.To address these challenges,based on the analysis and optimization of UAV remote sensing images,this study developed a spatio-temporal multi-scale fusion algorithm for disease detection.The multi-head,self-attention mechanism is incorporated to address the issue of excessive features generated by complex surface backgrounds in UAV images.This enables adaptive feature control to suppress redundant information and boost the model’s feature extraction capa-bilities.The SPD-Conv module was introduced to address the problem of loss of small target feature information dur-ing feature extraction,enhancing the preservation of key features.Additionally,the gather-and-distribute mechanism was implemented to augment the model’s multi-scale feature fusion capacity,preventing the loss of local details during fusion and enriching small target feature information.This study established a dataset of pine wood nematode disease in the Huangshan area using DJI(DJ-Innovations)UAVs.The results show that the accuracy of the proposed model with spatio-temporal multi-scale fusion reached 78.5%,6.6%higher than that of the benchmark model.Building upon the timeliness and flexibility of UAV remote sensing,the pro-posed model effectively addressed the challenges of detect-ing small and medium-size targets in complex backgrounds,thereby enhancing the detection efficiency for pine wood nematode disease.This facilitates early preemptive preser-vation of diseased trees,augments the overall monitoring proficiency of pine wood nematode diseases,and supplies technical aid for proficient monitoring.

文摘Many existing efforts have taken advantage of large-scale spatial-temporal data to partition cities via constructed human interaction networks.However,few studies focus on communities emerging between adjacent cities in big urban agglomerations,which we call“cross-city”communities.In this study,we introduce a novel framework to detect cross-city communities in urban agglomerations under different scales leveraging a large number of fine-grained mobile signaling data aiming to break the original administrative boundaries.Taking the Pearl River Delta(PRD)urban agglomeration in China as study area,we investigate the existence of potential communities at three scales,i.e.city-group level,city level and sub-city level.The partition results are expected to benefit transportation planning,urban zoning and administrative boundary re-delineation.The results from our study highlight the necessity of considering cross-city communities and their scale effects when examining urban spatial interactions.

文摘Because of the challenge of compounding lightweight,high-strength Ti/Al alloys due to their considerable disparity in properties,Al 6063 as intermediate layer was proposed to fabricate TC4/Al 6063/Al 7075 three-layer composite plate by explosive welding.The microscopic properties of each bonding interface were elucidated through field emission scanning electron microscope and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).A methodology combining finite element method-smoothed particle hydrodynamics(FEM-SPH)and molecular dynamics(MD)was proposed for the analysis of the forming and evolution characteristics of explosive welding interfaces at multi-scale.The results demonstrate that the bonding interface morphologies of TC4/Al 6063 and Al 6063/Al 7075 exhibit a flat and wavy configuration,without discernible defects or cracks.The phenomenon of grain refinement is observed in the vicinity of the two bonding interfaces.Furthermore,the degree of plastic deformation of TC4 and Al 7075 is more pronounced than that of Al 6063 in the intermediate layer.The interface morphology characteristics obtained by FEM-SPH simulation exhibit a high degree of similarity to the experimental results.MD simulations reveal that the diffusion of interfacial elements predominantly occurs during the unloading phase,and the simulated thickness of interfacial diffusion aligns well with experimental outcomes.The introduction of intermediate layer in the explosive welding process can effectively produce high-quality titanium/aluminum alloy composite plates.Furthermore,this approach offers a multi-scale simulation strategy for the study of explosive welding bonding interfaces.
