It is influenced by multi-source data which need to be combined for the dynamic liquid level real-time calculation. In this paper, the multi-source data are regarded as the different views including the load of the sucker rod and liquid in the wellbore, the image of the dynamometer card and production dynamics parameters. These views can be fused by the multi-branch neural network with special fusion layer. With this method, the features of different views can be extracted by considering the difference of the modality and physical meaning between them. Then, the extraction results which are selected by multinomial sampling can be the input of the fusion layer.During the fusion process, the availability under different views determines whether the views are fused in the fusion layer or not. In this way, not only the correlation between the views can be considered, but also the missing data can be processed automatically. The results have shown that the load and production features fusion(the method proposed in this paper) performs best with the lowest mean absolute error(MAE) 39.63 m, followed by the features concatenation with MAE 42.47 m. They both performed better than only a single view and the lower MAE of the features fusion indicates that its generalization ability is stronger. In contrast, the image feature as a single view contributes little to the accuracy improvement after fused with other views with the highest MAE. When there is data missing in some view, compared with the features concatenation, the multi-view features fusion will not result in the unavailability of a large number of samples. When the missing rate is 10%, 30%, 50% and 80%, the method proposed in this paper can reduce MAE by 5.8, 7, 9.3 and 20.3 m respectively. In general, the multi-view features fusion method proposed in this paper can improve the accuracy obviously and process the missing data effectively, which helps provide technical support for real-time monitoring of the dynamic liquid level in oil fields.展开更多

文摘In recent years,with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence,object detection algorithms have made significant strides in accuracy and computational efficiency.Notably,research and applications of Anchor-Free models have opened new avenues for real-time target detection in optical remote sensing images(ORSIs).However,in the realmof adversarial attacks,developing adversarial techniques tailored to Anchor-Freemodels remains challenging.Adversarial examples generated based on Anchor-Based models often exhibit poor transferability to these new model architectures.Furthermore,the growing diversity of Anchor-Free models poses additional hurdles to achieving robust transferability of adversarial attacks.This study presents an improved cross-conv-block feature fusion You Only Look Once(YOLO)architecture,meticulously engineered to facilitate the extraction ofmore comprehensive semantic features during the backpropagation process.To address the asymmetry between densely distributed objects in ORSIs and the corresponding detector outputs,a novel dense bounding box attack strategy is proposed.This approach leverages dense target bounding boxes loss in the calculation of adversarial loss functions.Furthermore,by integrating translation-invariant(TI)and momentum-iteration(MI)adversarial methodologies,the proposed framework significantly improves the transferability of adversarial attacks.Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves superior adversarial attack performance,with adversarial transferability rates(ATR)of 67.53%on the NWPU VHR-10 dataset and 90.71%on the HRSC2016 dataset.Compared to ensemble adversarial attack and cascaded adversarial attack approaches,our method generates adversarial examples in an average of 0.64 s,representing an approximately 14.5%improvement in efficiency under equivalent conditions.

文摘Camouflaged Object Detection(COD)aims to identify objects that share highly similar patterns—such as texture,intensity,and color—with their surrounding environment.Due to their intrinsic resemblance to the background,camouflaged objects often exhibit vague boundaries and varying scales,making it challenging to accurately locate targets and delineate their indistinct edges.To address this,we propose a novel camouflaged object detection network called Edge-Guided and Multi-scale Fusion Network(EGMFNet),which leverages edge-guided multi-scale integration for enhanced performance.The model incorporates two innovative components:a Multi-scale Fusion Module(MSFM)and an Edge-Guided Attention Module(EGA).These designs exploit multi-scale features to uncover subtle cues between candidate objects and the background while emphasizing camouflaged object boundaries.Moreover,recognizing the rich contextual information in fused features,we introduce a Dual-Branch Global Context Module(DGCM)to refine features using extensive global context,thereby generatingmore informative representations.Experimental results on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that EGMFNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods across five evaluation metrics.Specifically,on COD10K,our EGMFNet-P improves F_(β)by 4.8 points and reduces mean absolute error(MAE)by 0.006 compared with ZoomNeXt;on NC4K,it achieves a 3.6-point increase in F_(β).OnCAMO and CHAMELEON,it obtains 4.5-point increases in F_(β),respectively.These consistent gains substantiate the superiority and robustness of EGMFNet.

文摘This research centers on structural health monitoring of bridges,a critical transportation infrastructure.Owing to the cumulative action of heavy vehicle loads,environmental variations,and material aging,bridge components are prone to cracks and other defects,severely compromising structural safety and service life.Traditional inspection methods relying on manual visual assessment or vehicle-mounted sensors suffer from low efficiency,strong subjectivity,and high costs,while conventional image processing techniques and early deep learning models(e.g.,UNet,Faster R-CNN)still performinadequately in complex environments(e.g.,varying illumination,noise,false cracks)due to poor perception of fine cracks andmulti-scale features,limiting practical application.To address these challenges,this paper proposes CACNN-Net(CBAM-Augmented CNN),a novel dual-encoder architecture that innovatively couples a CNN for local detail extraction with a CBAM-Transformer for global context modeling.A key contribution is the dedicated Feature FusionModule(FFM),which strategically integratesmulti-scale features and focuses attention on crack regions while suppressing irrelevant noise.Experiments on bridge crack datasets demonstrate that CACNNNet achieves a precision of 77.6%,a recall of 79.4%,and an mIoU of 62.7%.These results significantly outperform several typical models(e.g.,UNet-ResNet34,Deeplabv3),confirming their superior accuracy and robust generalization,providing a high-precision automated solution for bridge crack detection and a novel network design paradigm for structural surface defect identification in complex scenarios,while future research may integrate physical features like depth information to advance intelligent infrastructure maintenance and digital twin management.

文摘Human Action Recognition(HAR)is an active research topic in machine learning for the last few decades.Visual surveillance,robotics,and pedestrian detection are the main applications for action recognition.Computer vision researchers have introduced many HAR techniques,but they still face challenges such as redundant features and the cost of computing.In this article,we proposed a new method for the use of deep learning for HAR.In the proposed method,video frames are initially pre-processed using a global contrast approach and later used to train a deep learning model using domain transfer learning.The Resnet-50 Pre-Trained Model is used as a deep learning model in this work.Features are extracted from two layers:Global Average Pool(GAP)and Fully Connected(FC).The features of both layers are fused by the Canonical Correlation Analysis(CCA).Then features are selected using the Shanon Entropy-based threshold function.The selected features are finally passed to multiple classifiers for final classification.Experiments are conducted on five publicly available datasets as IXMAS,UCF Sports,YouTube,UT-Interaction,and KTH.The accuracy of these data sets was 89.6%,99.7%,100%,96.7%and 96.6%,respectively.Comparison with existing techniques has shown that the proposed method provides improved accuracy for HAR.Also,the proposed method is computationally fast based on the time of execution.

文摘Image classification based on bag-of-words（BOW）has a broad application prospect in pattern recognition field but the shortcomings such as single feature and low classification accuracy are apparent.To deal with this problem,this paper proposes to combine two ingredients：（i）Three features with functions of mutual complementation are adopted to describe the images,including pyramid histogram of words（PHOW）,pyramid histogram of color（PHOC）and pyramid histogram of orientated gradients（PHOG）.（ii）An adaptive feature-weight adjusted image categorization algorithm based on the SVM and the decision level fusion of multiple features are employed.Experiments are carried out on the Caltech101 database,which confirms the validity of the proposed approach.The experimental results show that the classification accuracy rate of the proposed method is improved by 7%-14%higher than that of the traditional BOW methods.With full utilization of global,local and spatial information,the algorithm is much more complete and flexible to describe the feature information of the image through the multi-feature fusion and the pyramid structure composed by image spatial multi-resolution decomposition.Significant improvements to the classification accuracy are achieved as the result.

文摘Regular inspection of bridge cracks is crucial to bridge maintenance and repair.The traditional manual crack detection methods are timeconsuming,dangerous and subjective.At the same time,for the existing mainstream vision-based automatic crack detection algorithms,it is challenging to detect fine cracks and balance the detection accuracy and speed.Therefore,this paper proposes a new bridge crack segmentationmethod based on parallel attention mechanism and multi-scale features fusion on top of the DeeplabV3+network framework.First,the improved lightweight MobileNetv2 network and dilated separable convolution are integrated into the original DeeplabV3+network to improve the original backbone network Xception and atrous spatial pyramid pooling(ASPP)module,respectively,dramatically reducing the number of parameters in the network and accelerates the training and prediction speed of the model.Moreover,we introduce the parallel attention mechanism into the encoding and decoding stages.The attention to the crack regions can be enhanced from the aspects of both channel and spatial parts and significantly suppress the interference of various noises.Finally,we further improve the detection performance of the model for fine cracks by introducing a multi-scale features fusion module.Our research results are validated on the self-made dataset.The experiments show that our method is more accurate than other methods.Its intersection of union(IoU)and F1-score(F1)are increased to 77.96%and 87.57%,respectively.In addition,the number of parameters is only 4.10M,which is much smaller than the original network;also,the frames per second(FPS)is increased to 15 frames/s.The results prove that the proposed method fits well the requirements of rapid and accurate detection of bridge cracks and is superior to other methods.

文摘Real-time detection of driver fatigue status is of great significance for road traffic safety.In this paper,a proposed novel driver fatigue detection method is able to detect the driver’s fatigue status around the clock.The driver’s face images were captured by a camera with a colored lens and an infrared lens mounted above the dashboard.The landmarks of the driver’s face were labeled and the eye-area was segmented.By calculating the aspect ratios of the eyes,the duration of eye closure,frequency of blinks and PERCLOS of both colored and infrared,fatigue can be detected.Based on the change of light intensity detected by a photosensitive device,the weight matrix of the colored features and the infrared features was adjusted adaptively to reduce the impact of lighting on fatigue detection.Video samples of the driver’s face were recorded in the test vehicle.After training the classification model,the results showed that our method has high accuracy on driver fatigue detection in both daytime and nighttime.

文摘In the production of the sucker rod well, the dynamic liquid level is important for the production efficiency and safety in the lifting process. It is influenced by multi-source data which need to be combined for the dynamic liquid level real-time calculation. In this paper, the multi-source data are regarded as the different views including the load of the sucker rod and liquid in the wellbore, the image of the dynamometer card and production dynamics parameters. These views can be fused by the multi-branch neural network with special fusion layer. With this method, the features of different views can be extracted by considering the difference of the modality and physical meaning between them. Then, the extraction results which are selected by multinomial sampling can be the input of the fusion layer.During the fusion process, the availability under different views determines whether the views are fused in the fusion layer or not. In this way, not only the correlation between the views can be considered, but also the missing data can be processed automatically. The results have shown that the load and production features fusion(the method proposed in this paper) performs best with the lowest mean absolute error(MAE) 39.63 m, followed by the features concatenation with MAE 42.47 m. They both performed better than only a single view and the lower MAE of the features fusion indicates that its generalization ability is stronger. In contrast, the image feature as a single view contributes little to the accuracy improvement after fused with other views with the highest MAE. When there is data missing in some view, compared with the features concatenation, the multi-view features fusion will not result in the unavailability of a large number of samples. When the missing rate is 10%, 30%, 50% and 80%, the method proposed in this paper can reduce MAE by 5.8, 7, 9.3 and 20.3 m respectively. In general, the multi-view features fusion method proposed in this paper can improve the accuracy obviously and process the missing data effectively, which helps provide technical support for real-time monitoring of the dynamic liquid level in oil fields.
文摘To solve the problem of low robustness of trackers under significant appearance changes in complex background,a novel moving target tracking method based on hierarchical deep features weighted fusion and correlation filter is proposed.Firstly,multi-layer features are extracted by a deep model pre-trained on massive object recognition datasets.The linearly separable features of Relu3-1,Relu4-1 and Relu5-4 layers from VGG-Net-19 are especially suitable for target tracking.Then,correlation filters over hierarchical convolutional features are learned to generate their correlation response maps.Finally,a novel approach of weight adjustment is presented to fuse response maps.The maximum value of the final response map is just the location of the target.Extensive experiments on the object tracking benchmark datasets demonstrate the high robustness and recognition precision compared with several state-of-the-art trackers under the different conditions.
文摘Signature verification is regarded as the most beneficial behavioral characteristic-based biometric feature in security and fraud protection.It is also a popular biometric authentication technology in forensic and commercial transactions due to its various advantages,including noninvasiveness,user-friendliness,and social and legal acceptability.According to the literature,extensive research has been conducted on signature verification systems in a variety of languages,including English,Hindi,Bangla,and Chinese.However,the Arabic Offline Signature Verification(OSV)system is still a challenging issue that has not been investigated as much by researchers due to the Arabic script being distinguished by changing letter shapes,diacritics,ligatures,and overlapping,making verification more difficult.Recently,signature verification systems have shown promising results for recognizing signatures that are genuine or forgeries;however,performance on skilled forgery detection is still unsatisfactory.Most existing methods require many learning samples to improve verification accuracy,which is a major drawback because the number of available signature samples is often limited in the practical application of signature verification systems.This study addresses these issues by presenting an OSV system based on multifeature fusion and discriminant feature selection using a genetic algorithm(GA).In contrast to existing methods,which use multiclass learning approaches,this study uses a oneclass learning strategy to address imbalanced signature data in the practical application of a signature verification system.The proposed approach is tested on three signature databases(SID)-Arabic handwriting signatures,CEDAR(Center of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition),and UTSIG(University of Tehran Persian Signature),and experimental results show that the proposed system outperforms existing systems in terms of reducing the False Acceptance Rate(FAR),False Rejection Rate(FRR),and Equal Error Rate(ERR).The proposed system achieved 5%improvement.

文摘To explore the influence of the fusion of different features on recognition,this paper took the electromyography(EMG)signals of rectus femoris under different motions(walk,step,ramp,squat,and sitting)as samples,linear features(time-domain features(variance(VAR)and root mean square(RMS)),frequency-domain features(mean frequency(MF)and mean power frequency(MPF)),and nonlinear features(empirical mode decomposition(EMD))of the samples were extracted.Two feature fusion algorithms,the series splicing method and complex vector method,were designed,which were verified by a double hidden layer(BP)error back propagation neural network.Results show that with the increase of the types and complexity of feature fusions,the recognition rate of the EMG signal to actions is gradually improved.When the EMG signal is used in the series splicing method,the recognition rate of time-domain+frequency-domain+empirical mode decomposition(TD+FD+EMD)splicing is the highest,and the average recognition rate is 92.32%.And this rate is raised to 96.1%by using the complex vector method,and the variance of the BP system is also reduced.

文摘Thunderstorm wind gusts are small in scale,typically occurring within a range of a few kilometers.It is extremely challenging to monitor and forecast thunderstorm wind gusts using only automatic weather stations.Therefore,it is necessary to establish thunderstorm wind gust identification techniques based on multisource high-resolution observations.This paper introduces a new algorithm,called thunderstorm wind gust identification network(TGNet).It leverages multimodal feature fusion to fuse the temporal and spatial features of thunderstorm wind gust events.The shapelet transform is first used to extract the temporal features of wind speeds from automatic weather stations,which is aimed at distinguishing thunderstorm wind gusts from those caused by synoptic-scale systems or typhoons.Then,the encoder,structured upon the U-shaped network(U-Net)and incorporating recurrent residual convolutional blocks(R2U-Net),is employed to extract the corresponding spatial convective characteristics of satellite,radar,and lightning observations.Finally,by using the multimodal deep fusion module based on multi-head cross-attention,the temporal features of wind speed at each automatic weather station are incorporated into the spatial features to obtain 10-minutely classification of thunderstorm wind gusts.TGNet products have high accuracy,with a critical success index reaching 0.77.Compared with those of U-Net and R2U-Net,the false alarm rate of TGNet products decreases by 31.28%and 24.15%,respectively.The new algorithm provides grid products of thunderstorm wind gusts with a spatial resolution of 0.01°,updated every 10minutes.The results are finer and more accurate,thereby helping to improve the accuracy of operational warnings for thunderstorm wind gusts.

文摘Solar cell defect detection is crucial for quality inspection in photovoltaic power generation modules.In the production process,defect samples occur infrequently and exhibit random shapes and sizes,which makes it challenging to collect defective samples.Additionally,the complex surface background of polysilicon cell wafers complicates the accurate identification and localization of defective regions.This paper proposes a novel Lightweight Multiscale Feature Fusion network(LMFF)to address these challenges.The network comprises a feature extraction network,a multi-scale feature fusion module(MFF),and a segmentation network.Specifically,a feature extraction network is proposed to obtain multi-scale feature outputs,and a multi-scale feature fusion module(MFF)is used to fuse multi-scale feature information effectively.In order to capture finer-grained multi-scale information from the fusion features,we propose a multi-scale attention module(MSA)in the segmentation network to enhance the network’s ability for small target detection.Moreover,depthwise separable convolutions are introduced to construct depthwise separable residual blocks(DSR)to reduce the model’s parameter number.Finally,to validate the proposed method’s defect segmentation and localization performance,we constructed three solar cell defect detection datasets:SolarCells,SolarCells-S,and PVEL-S.SolarCells and SolarCells-S are monocrystalline silicon datasets,and PVEL-S is a polycrystalline silicon dataset.Experimental results show that the IOU of our method on these three datasets can reach 68.5%,51.0%,and 92.7%,respectively,and the F1-Score can reach 81.3%,67.5%,and 96.2%,respectively,which surpasses other commonly usedmethods and verifies the effectiveness of our LMFF network.

文摘In recent years,fungal diseases affecting grape crops have attracted significant attention.Currently,the assessment of black rot severitymainly depends on the ratio of lesion area to leaf surface area.However,effectively and accurately segmenting leaf lesions presents considerable challenges.Existing grape leaf lesion segmentationmodels have several limitations,such as a large number of parameters,long training durations,and limited precision in extracting small lesions and boundary details.To address these issues,we propose an enhanced DeepLabv3+model incorporating Strip Pooling,Content-Guided Fusion,and Convolutional Block Attention Module(SFC_DeepLabv3+),an enhanced lesion segmentation method based on DeepLabv3+.This approach uses the lightweight MobileNetv2 backbone to replace the original Xception,incorporates a lightweight convolutional block attention module,and introduces a content-guided feature fusion module to improve the detection accuracy of small lesions and blurred boundaries.Experimental results showthat the enhancedmodel achieves a mean Intersection overUnion(mIoU)of 90.98%,amean Pixel Accuracy(mPA)of 94.33%,and a precision of 95.84%.This represents relative gains of 2.22%,1.78%,and 0.89%respectively compared to the original model.Additionally,its complexity is significantly reduced without sacrificing performance,the parameter count is reduced to 6.27 M,a decrease of 88.5%compared to the original model,floating point of operations(GFLOPs)drops from 83.62 to 29.00 G,a reduction of 65.1%.Additionally,Frames Per Second(FPS)increases from 63.7 to 74.3 FPS,marking an improvement of 16.7%.Compared to other models,the improved architecture shows faster convergence and superior segmentation accuracy,making it highly suitable for applications in resource-constrained environments.

文摘Multi-label image classification is a challenging task due to the diverse sizes and complex backgrounds of objects in images.Obtaining class-specific precise representations at different scales is a key aspect of feature representation.However,existing methods often rely on the single-scale deep feature,neglecting shallow and deeper layer features,which poses challenges when predicting objects of varying scales within the same image.Although some studies have explored multi-scale features,they rarely address the flow of information between scales or efficiently obtain class-specific precise representations for features at different scales.To address these issues,we propose a two-stage,three-branch Transformer-based framework.The first stage incorporates multi-scale image feature extraction and hierarchical scale attention.This design enables the model to consider objects at various scales while enhancing the flow of information across different feature scales,improving the model’s generalization to diverse object scales.The second stage includes a global feature enhancement module and a region selection module.The global feature enhancement module strengthens interconnections between different image regions,mitigating the issue of incomplete represen-tations,while the region selection module models the cross-modal relationships between image features and labels.Together,these components enable the efficient acquisition of class-specific precise feature representations.Extensive experiments on public datasets,including COCO2014,VOC2007,and VOC2012,demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.Our approach achieves consistent performance gains of 0.3%,0.4%,and 0.2%over state-of-the-art methods on the three datasets,respectively.These results validate the reliability and superiority of our approach for multi-label image classification.
文摘A heart attack disrupts the normal flow of blood to the heart muscle,potentially causing severe damage or death if not treated promptly.It can lead to long-term health complications,reduce quality of life,and significantly impact daily activities and overall well-being.Despite the growing popularity of deep learning,several drawbacks persist,such as complexity and the limitation of single-model learning.In this paper,we introduce a residual learning-based feature fusion technique to achieve high accuracy in differentiating abnormal cardiac rhythms heart sound.Combining MobileNet with DenseNet201 for feature fusion leverages MobileNet lightweight,efficient architecture with DenseNet201,dense connections,resulting in enhanced feature extraction and improved model performance with reduced computational cost.To further enhance the fusion,we employed residual learning to optimize the hierarchical features of heart abnormal sounds during training.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed fusion method achieved an accuracy of 95.67%on the benchmark PhysioNet-2016 Spectrogram dataset.To further validate the performance,we applied it to the BreakHis dataset with a magnification level of 100X.The results indicate that the model maintains robust performance on the second dataset,achieving an accuracy of 96.55%.it highlights its consistent performance,making it a suitable for various applications.
