Deep learning-based MOS methods, especially deep end-to-end MOS methods, are actively investigated in this field. Foreground segmentation networks (FgSegNets) are representative deep end-to-endMOS methods proposed recently. This study explores a new mechanism to improve the spatial feature learningcapability of FgSegNets with relatively few brought parameters. Specifically, we propose an enhanced attention(EA) module, a parallel connection of an attention module and a lightweight enhancement module, with sequentialattention and residual attention as special cases. We also propose integrating EA with FgSegNet_v2 by taking thelightweight convolutional block attention module as the attention module and plugging EA module after the twoMaxpooling layers of the encoder. The derived new model is named FgSegNet_v2 EA. The ablation study verifiesthe effectiveness of the proposed EA module and integration strategy. The results on the CDnet2014 dataset,which depicts human activities and vehicles captured in different scenes, show that FgSegNet_v2 EA outperformsFgSegNet_v2 by 0.08% and 14.5% under the settings of scene dependent evaluation and scene independent evaluation, respectively, which indicates the positive effect of EA on improving spatial feature learning capability ofFgSegNet_v2.展开更多

文摘With the continuous development of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques,there have been effective methods supporting the work of dermatologist in the field of skin cancer detection.However,object significant challenges have been presented in accurately segmenting melanomas in dermoscopic images due to the objects that could interfere human observations,such as bubbles and scales.To address these challenges,we propose a dual U-Net network framework for skin melanoma segmentation.In our proposed architecture,we introduce several innovative components that aim to enhance the performance and capabilities of the traditional U-Net.First,we establish a novel framework that links two simplified U-Nets,enabling more comprehensive information exchange and feature integration throughout the network.Second,after cascading the second U-Net,we introduce a skip connection between the decoder and encoder networks,and incorporate a modified receptive field block(MRFB),which is designed to capture multi-scale spatial information.Third,to further enhance the feature representation capabilities,we add a multi-path convolution block attention module(MCBAM)to the first two layers of the first U-Net encoding,and integrate a new squeeze-and-excitation(SE)mechanism with residual connections in the second U-Net.To illustrate the performance of our proposed model,we conducted comprehensive experiments on widely recognized skin datasets.On the ISIC-2017 dataset,the IoU value of our proposed model increased from 0.6406 to 0.6819 and the Dice coefficient increased from 0.7625 to 0.8023.On the ISIC-2018 dataset,the IoU value of proposed model also improved from 0.7138 to 0.7709,while the Dice coefficient increased from 0.8285 to 0.8665.Furthermore,the generalization experiments conducted on the jaw cyst dataset from Quzhou People’s Hospital further verified the outstanding segmentation performance of the proposed model.These findings collectively affirm the potential of our approach as a valuable tool in supporting clinical decision-making in the field of skin cancer detection,as well as advancing research in medical image analysis.

文摘In the PSP(Pressure-Sensitive Paint),image deblurring is essential due to factors such as prolonged camera exposure times and highmodel velocities,which can lead to significant image blurring.Conventional deblurring methods applied to PSP images often suffer from limited accuracy and require extensive computational resources.To address these issues,this study proposes a deep learning-based approach tailored for PSP image deblurring.Considering that PSP applications primarily involve the accurate pressure measurements of complex geometries,the images captured under such conditions exhibit distinctive non-uniform motion blur,presenting challenges for standard deep learning models utilizing convolutional or attention-based techniques.In this paper,we introduce a novel deblurring architecture featuring multiple DAAM(Deformable Ack Attention Module).These modules provide enhanced flexibility for end-to-end deblurring,leveraging irregular convolution operations for efficient feature extraction while employing attention mechanisms interpreted as multiple 1×1 convolutions,subsequently reassembled to enhance performance.Furthermore,we incorporate a RSC(Residual Shortcut Convolution)module for initial feature processing,aimed at reducing redundant computations and improving the learning capacity for representative shallow features.To preserve critical spatial information during upsampling and downsampling,we replace conventional convolutions with wt(Haar wavelet downsampling)and dysample(Upsampling by Dynamic Sampling).This modification significantly enhances high-precision image reconstruction.By integrating these advanced modules within an encoder-decoder framework,we present the DFDNet(Deformable Fusion Deblurring Network)for image blur removal,providing robust technical support for subsequent PSP data analysis.Experimental evaluations on the FY dataset demonstrate the superior performance of our model,achieving competitive results on the GOPRO and HIDE datasets.

文摘Advances in optical coherence tomography(OCT)technology allow a clear view of the vitreoretinal interface(VRI).The abnormality of the VRI is one of the common symptoms of high myopia,mainly including posterior vitreous detachment(PVD)and epiretinal membrane(ERM).They can cause severe damage to the structure and function of the retina,leading to permanent vision loss.Therefore,fully automated detection of abnormalities at the VRI is crucial for the management of high myopia.This paper presents a DS-YOLOv7 network aimed at accurately identifying abnormalities,including partial PVD,complete PVD,and ERM from retinal OCT images.Built upon the YOLOv7 network,the proposed model integrates the advanced dynamic snake convolution(DSConv)module to capture the curvilinear characteristics of lesions,and the mixture of attention and convolution(ACMix)module to improve the precision and robustness of feature extraction through effective fusion of self-attention mechanisms and convolution.Moreover,the introduction of the efficient complete intersection-over-union(ECIoU)loss function further enhances the coordinate regression capability of the model.Threefold cross-validation on a dataset with 1973 OCT B-scans from 46 patients shows that the DS-YOLOv7 achieved superior performance in vitreoretinal interface abnormality detection,with mAP@0.5 of 0.714,mAP@0.75 of 0.438,and mAP@0.5:0.95 of 0.424.The proposed model can provide an accurate and efficient diagnostic tool for patients with high myopia.
文摘Facial Expression Recognition(FER)has been an interesting area of research in places where there is human-computer interaction.Human psychol-ogy,emotions and behaviors can be analyzed in FER.Classifiers used in FER have been perfect on normal faces but have been found to be constrained in occluded faces.Recently,Deep Learning Techniques(DLT)have gained popular-ity in applications of real-world problems including recognition of human emo-tions.The human face reflects emotional states and human intentions.An expression is the most natural and powerful way of communicating non-verbally.Systems which form communications between the two are termed Human Machine Interaction(HMI)systems.FER can improve HMI systems as human expressions convey useful information to an observer.This paper proposes a FER scheme called EECNN(Enhanced Convolution Neural Network with Atten-tion mechanism)to recognize seven types of human emotions with satisfying results in its experiments.Proposed EECNN achieved 89.8%accuracy in classi-fying the images.

文摘Health monitoring of electro-mechanical actuator(EMA)is critical to ensure the security of airplanes.It is difficult or even impossible to collect enough labeled failure or degradation data from actual EMA.The autoencoder based on reconstruction loss is a popular model that can carry out anomaly detection with only consideration of normal training data,while it fails to capture spatio-temporal information from multivariate time series signals of multiple monitoring sensors.To mine the spatio-temporal information from multivariate time series signals,this paper proposes an attention graph stacked autoencoder for EMA anomaly detection.Firstly,attention graph con-volution is introduced into autoencoder to convolve temporal information from neighbor features to current features based on different weight attentions.Secondly,stacked autoencoder is applied to mine spatial information from those new aggregated temporal features.Finally,based on the bench-mark reconstruction loss of normal training data,different health thresholds calculated by several statistic indicators can carry out anomaly detection for new testing data.In comparison with tra-ditional stacked autoencoder,the proposed model could obtain higher fault detection rate and lower false alarm rate in EMA anomaly detection experiment.

文摘Moving object segmentation (MOS) is one of the essential functions of the vision system of all robots,including medical robots. Deep learning-based MOS methods, especially deep end-to-end MOS methods, are actively investigated in this field. Foreground segmentation networks (FgSegNets) are representative deep end-to-endMOS methods proposed recently. This study explores a new mechanism to improve the spatial feature learningcapability of FgSegNets with relatively few brought parameters. Specifically, we propose an enhanced attention(EA) module, a parallel connection of an attention module and a lightweight enhancement module, with sequentialattention and residual attention as special cases. We also propose integrating EA with FgSegNet_v2 by taking thelightweight convolutional block attention module as the attention module and plugging EA module after the twoMaxpooling layers of the encoder. The derived new model is named FgSegNet_v2 EA. The ablation study verifiesthe effectiveness of the proposed EA module and integration strategy. The results on the CDnet2014 dataset,which depicts human activities and vehicles captured in different scenes, show that FgSegNet_v2 EA outperformsFgSegNet_v2 by 0.08% and 14.5% under the settings of scene dependent evaluation and scene independent evaluation, respectively, which indicates the positive effect of EA on improving spatial feature learning capability ofFgSegNet_v2.

文摘Brain tumors,one of the most lethal diseases with low survival rates,require early detection and accurate diagnosis to enable effective treatment planning.While deep learning architectures,particularly Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),have shown significant performance improvements over traditional methods,they struggle to capture the subtle pathological variations between different brain tumor types.Recent attention-based models have attempted to address this by focusing on global features,but they come with high computational costs.To address these challenges,this paper introduces a novel parallel architecture,ParMamba,which uniquely integrates Convolutional Attention Patch Embedding(CAPE)and the Conv Mamba block including CNN,Mamba and the channel enhancement module,marking a significant advancement in the field.The unique design of ConvMamba block enhances the ability of model to capture both local features and long-range dependencies,improving the detection of subtle differences between tumor types.The channel enhancement module refines feature interactions across channels.Additionally,CAPE is employed as a downsampling layer that extracts both local and global features,further improving classification accuracy.Experimental results on two publicly available brain tumor datasets demonstrate that ParMamba achieves classification accuracies of 99.62%and 99.35%,outperforming existing methods.Notably,ParMamba surpasses vision transformers(ViT)by 1.37%in accuracy,with a throughput improvement of over 30%.These results demonstrate that ParMamba delivers superior performance while operating faster than traditional attention-based methods.
文摘Object detection plays a critical role in drone imagery analysis,especially in remote sensing applications where accurate and efficient detection of small objects is essential.Despite significant advancements in drone imagery detection,most models still struggle with small object detection due to challenges such as object size,complex backgrounds.To address these issues,we propose a robust detection model based on You Only Look Once(YOLO)that balances accuracy and efficiency.The model mainly contains several major innovation:feature selection pyramid network,Inner-Shape Intersection over Union(ISIoU)loss function and small object detection head.To overcome the limitations of traditional fusion methods in handling multi-level features,we introduce a Feature Selection Pyramid Network integrated into the Neck component,which preserves shallow feature details critical for detecting small objects.Additionally,recognizing that deep network structures often neglect or degrade small object features,we design a specialized small object detection head in the shallow layers to enhance detection accuracy for these challenging targets.To effectively model both local and global dependencies,we introduce a Conv-Former module that simulates Transformer mechanisms using a convolutional structure,thereby improving feature enhancement.Furthermore,we employ ISIoU to address object imbalance and scale variation This approach accelerates model conver-gence and improves regression accuracy.Experimental results show that,compared to the baseline model,the proposed method significantly improves small object detection performance on the VisDrone2019 dataset,with mAP@50 increasing by 4.9%and mAP@50-95 rising by 6.7%.This model also outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms,demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness in both small object detection and remote sensing image fusion tasks.

文摘With the development of anti-virus technology,malicious documents have gradually become the main pathway of Advanced Persistent Threat(APT)attacks,therefore,the development of effective malicious document classifiers has become particularly urgent.Currently,detection methods based on document structure and behavioral features encounter challenges in feature engineering,these methods not only have limited accuracy,but also consume large resources,and usually can only detect documents in specific formats,which lacks versatility and adaptability.To address such problems,this paper proposes a novel malicious document detection method-visualizing documents as GGE images(Grayscale,Grayscale matrix,Entropy).The GGE method visualizes the original byte sequence of the malicious document as a grayscale image,the information entropy sequence of the document as an entropy image,and at the same time,the grayscale level co-occurrence matrix and the texture and spatial information stored in it are converted into grayscale matrix image,and fuses the three types of images to get the GGE color image.The Convolutional Block Attention Module-EfficientNet-B0(CBAM-EfficientNet-B0)model is then used for classification,combining transfer learning and applying the pre-trained model on the ImageNet dataset to the feature extraction process of GGE images.As shown in the experimental results,the GGE method has superior performance compared with other methods,which is suitable for detecting malicious documents in different formats,and achieves an accuracy of 99.44%and 97.39%on Portable Document Format(PDF)and office datasets,respectively,and consumes less time during the detection process,which can be effectively applied to the task of detecting malicious documents in real-time.

文摘Multiple reflections in seismic exploration data severely degrade subsurface imaging accuracy and interpretation reliability.Traditional multiple attenuation methods exhibit limited performance under complex geological conditions,while existing deep learning approaches struggle to simultaneously suppress high-energy multiples and preserve the structural continuity and amplitude fidelity of primary reflections.This paper proposes an enhanced U-Net architecture termed Seismic-CBAM-UNet,employing a two-stage cascaded strategy of“frequency-domain preprocessing+attention-enhanced network”.The method first applies spectral subtraction in the frequency domain to preprocess raw seismic data,specifically targeting multiples concentrated in the low-frequency band.Subsequently,Convolutional Block Attention Modules are embedded within the network architecture,integrating both channel and spatial attention mechanisms to enable adaptive focusing on geologically significant reflection events.Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms Wiener filtering and wavelet thresholding across multiple evaluation metrics:achieving 1.62 dB SNR improvement,61.3%multiple attenuation rate,92.10%primary preservation rate,and 0.798 structural similarity index.The proposed approach effectively suppresses multiple interference while precisely maintaining geological structure continuity and amplitude characteristics,providing reliable technical support for high-precision imaging in complex seismic environments.
