文摘To deal with the low location accuracy issue of existing underwater navigation technologies in autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs),a distributed fusion algorithm which combines the model's analysis method with a multi-scale transformation method is proposed for integrated navigation system based on AUV.First,integrated navigation system theory and system error sources are introduced in details.Secondly,a navigation system's observation equation on the original scale is decomposed into different scales by the discrete wavelet transform method,and noise reduction is performed by setting the wavelet de-noising threshold.At last,the dynamic equation and observation equations are fused on different scales by the wavelet transformation and Kalman filter.The results show that the proposed algorithm has smaller navigation error and higher navigation accuracy.
文摘The demand for the exploration of ocean resources is increasing exponentially.Underwater image data plays a significant role in many research areas.Despite this,the visual quality of underwater images is degraded because of two main factors namely,backscattering and attenuation.Therefore,visual enhancement has become an essential process to recover the required data from the images.Many algorithms had been proposed in a decade for improving the quality of images.This paper aims to propose a single image enhancement technique without the use of any external datasets.For that,the degraded images are subjected to two main processes namely,color correction and image fusion.Initially,veiling light and transmission light is estimated tofind the color required for correction.Veiling light refers to unwanted light,whereas transmission light refers to the required light for color correction.These estimated outputs are applied in the scene recovery equation.The image obtained from color correction is subjected to a fusion process where the image is categorized into two versions and applied to white balance and contrast enhancement techniques.The resultants are divided into three weight maps namely,luminance,saliency,chromaticity and fused using the Laplacian pyramid.The results obtained are graphically compared with their input data using RGB Histogram plot.Finally,image quality is measured and tabulated using underwater image quality measures.

文摘Images taken in dim environments frequently exhibit issues like insufficient brightness,noise,color shifts,and loss of detail.These problems pose significant challenges to dark image enhancement tasks.Current approaches,while effective in global illumination modeling,often struggle to simultaneously suppress noise and preserve structural details,especially under heterogeneous lighting.Furthermore,misalignment between luminance and color channels introduces additional challenges to accurate enhancement.In response to the aforementioned difficulties,we introduce a single-stage framework,M2ATNet,using the multi-scale multi-attention and Transformer architecture.First,to address the problems of texture blurring and residual noise,we design a multi-scale multi-attention denoising module(MMAD),which is applied separately to the luminance and color channels to enhance the structural and texture modeling capabilities.Secondly,to solve the non-alignment problem of the luminance and color channels,we introduce the multi-channel feature fusion Transformer(CFFT)module,which effectively recovers the dark details and corrects the color shifts through cross-channel alignment and deep feature interaction.To guide the model to learn more stably and efficiently,we also fuse multiple types of loss functions to form a hybrid loss term.We extensively evaluate the proposed method on various standard datasets,including LOL-v1,LOL-v2,DICM,LIME,and NPE.Evaluation in terms of numerical metrics and visual quality demonstrate that M2ATNet consistently outperforms existing advanced approaches.Ablation studies further confirm the critical roles played by the MMAD and CFFT modules to detail preservation and visual fidelity under challenging illumination-deficient environments.
文摘With the rapid expansion of drone applications,accurate detection of objects in aerial imagery has become crucial for intelligent transportation,urban management,and emergency rescue missions.However,existing methods face numerous challenges in practical deployment,including scale variation handling,feature degradation,and complex backgrounds.To address these issues,we propose Edge-enhanced and Detail-Capturing You Only Look Once(EHDC-YOLO),a novel framework for object detection in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)imagery.Based on the You Only Look Once version 11 nano(YOLOv11n)baseline,EHDC-YOLO systematically introduces several architectural enhancements:(1)a Multi-Scale Edge Enhancement(MSEE)module that leverages multi-scale pooling and edge information to enhance boundary feature extraction;(2)an Enhanced Feature Pyramid Network(EFPN)that integrates P2-level features with Cross Stage Partial(CSP)structures and OmniKernel convolutions for better fine-grained representation;and(3)Dynamic Head(DyHead)with multi-dimensional attention mechanisms for enhanced cross-scale modeling and perspective adaptability.Comprehensive experiments on the Vision meets Drones for Detection(VisDrone-DET)2019 dataset demonstrate that EHDC-YOLO achieves significant improvements,increasing mean Average Precision(mAP)@0.5 from 33.2%to 46.1%(an absolute improvement of 12.9 percentage points)and mAP@0.5:0.95 from 19.5%to 28.0%(an absolute improvement of 8.5 percentage points)compared with the YOLOv11n baseline,while maintaining a reasonable parameter count(2.81 M vs the baseline’s 2.58 M).Further ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each proposed component,while visualization results highlight EHDC-YOLO’s superior performance in detecting objects and handling occlusions in complex drone scenarios.

文摘Accurate and efficient detection of building changes in remote sensing imagery is crucial for urban planning,disaster emergency response,and resource management.However,existing methods face challenges such as spectral similarity between buildings and backgrounds,sensor variations,and insufficient computational efficiency.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel Multi-scale Efficient Wavelet-based Change Detection Network(MewCDNet),which integrates the advantages of Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformers,balances computational costs,and achieves high-performance building change detection.The network employs EfficientNet-B4 as the backbone for hierarchical feature extraction,integrates multi-level feature maps through a multi-scale fusion strategy,and incorporates two key modules:Cross-temporal Difference Detection(CTDD)and Cross-scale Wavelet Refinement(CSWR).CTDD adopts a dual-branch architecture that combines pixel-wise differencing with semanticaware Euclidean distance weighting to enhance the distinction between true changes and background noise.CSWR integrates Haar-based Discrete Wavelet Transform with multi-head cross-attention mechanisms,enabling cross-scale feature fusion while significantly improving edge localization and suppressing spurious changes.Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate MewCDNet’s superiority over comparison methods:achieving F1 scores of 91.54%on LEVIR,93.70%on WHUCD,and 64.96%on S2Looking for building change detection.Furthermore,MewCDNet exhibits optimal performance on the multi-class⋅SYSU dataset(F1:82.71%),highlighting its exceptional generalization capability.

文摘The fusion of infrared and visible images should emphasize the salient targets in the infrared image while preserving the textural details of the visible images.To meet these requirements,an autoencoder-based method for infrared and visible image fusion is proposed.The encoder designed according to the optimization objective consists of a base encoder and a detail encoder,which is used to extract low-frequency and high-frequency information from the image.This extraction may lead to some information not being captured,so a compensation encoder is proposed to supplement the missing information.Multi-scale decomposition is also employed to extract image features more comprehensively.The decoder combines low-frequency,high-frequency and supplementary information to obtain multi-scale features.Subsequently,the attention strategy and fusion module are introduced to perform multi-scale fusion for image reconstruction.Experimental results on three datasets show that the fused images generated by this network effectively retain salient targets while being more consistent with human visual perception.

文摘Globally,diabetic retinopathy(DR)is the primary cause of blindness,affecting millions of people worldwide.This widespread impact underscores the critical need for reliable and precise diagnostic techniques to ensure prompt diagnosis and effective treatment.Deep learning-based automated diagnosis for diabetic retinopathy can facilitate early detection and treatment.However,traditional deep learning models that focus on local views often learn feature representations that are less discriminative at the semantic level.On the other hand,models that focus on global semantic-level information might overlook critical,subtle local pathological features.To address this issue,we propose an adaptive multi-scale feature fusion network called(AMSFuse),which can adaptively combine multi-scale global and local features without compromising their individual representation.Specifically,our model incorporates global features for extracting high-level contextual information from retinal images.Concurrently,local features capture fine-grained details,such as microaneurysms,hemorrhages,and exudates,which are critical for DR diagnosis.These global and local features are adaptively fused using a fusion block,followed by an Integrated Attention Mechanism(IAM)that refines the fused features by emphasizing relevant regions,thereby enhancing classification accuracy for DR classification.Our model achieves 86.3%accuracy on the APTOS dataset and 96.6%RFMiD,both of which are comparable to state-of-the-art methods.

文摘Research indicates that microbe activity within the human body significantly influences health by being closely linked to various diseases.Accurately predicting microbe-disease interactions(MDIs)offers critical insights for disease intervention and pharmaceutical research.Current advanced AI-based technologies automatically generate robust representations of microbes and diseases,enabling effective MDI predictions.However,these models continue to face significant challenges.A major issue is their reliance on complex feature extractors and classifiers,which substantially diminishes the models’generalizability.To address this,we introduce a novel graph autoencoder framework that utilizes decoupled representation learning and multi-scale information fusion strategies to efficiently infer potential MDIs.Initially,we randomly mask portions of the input microbe-disease graph based on Bernoulli distribution to boost self-supervised training and minimize noise-related performance degradation.Secondly,we employ decoupled representation learning technology,compelling the graph neural network(GNN)to independently learn the weights for each feature subspace,thus enhancing its expressive power.Finally,we implement multi-scale information fusion technology to amalgamate the multi-layer outputs of GNN,reducing information loss due to occlusion.Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that our model significantly surpasses existing top MDI prediction models.This indicates that our model can accurately predict unknown MDIs and is likely to aid in disease discovery and precision pharmaceutical research.Code and data are accessible at:https://github.com/shmildsj/MDI-IFDRL.

文摘Detecting abnormal cervical cells is crucial for early identification and timely treatment of cervical cancer.However,this task is challenging due to the morphological similarities between abnormal and normal cells and the significant variations in cell size.Pathologists often refer to surrounding cells to identify abnormalities.To emulate this slide examination behavior,this study proposes a Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Network(MSFF-Net)for detecting cervical abnormal cells.MSFF-Net employs a Cross-Scale Pooling Model(CSPM)to effectively capture diverse features and contextual information,ranging from local details to the overall structure.Additionally,a Multi-Scale Fusion Attention(MSFA)module is introduced to mitigate the impact of cell size variations by adaptively fusing local and global information at different scales.To handle the complex environment of cervical cell images,such as cell adhesion and overlapping,the Inner-CIoU loss function is utilized to more precisely measure the overlap between bounding boxes,thereby improving detection accuracy in such scenarios.Experimental results on the Comparison detector dataset demonstrate that MSFF-Net achieves a mean average precision(mAP)of 63.2%,outperforming state-of-the-art methods while maintaining a relatively small number of parameters(26.8 M).This study highlights the effectiveness of multi-scale feature fusion in enhancing the detection of cervical abnormal cells,contributing to more accurate and efficient cervical cancer screening.

文摘With the rapid growth of socialmedia,the spread of fake news has become a growing problem,misleading the public and causing significant harm.As social media content is often composed of both images and text,the use of multimodal approaches for fake news detection has gained significant attention.To solve the problems existing in previous multi-modal fake news detection algorithms,such as insufficient feature extraction and insufficient use of semantic relations between modes,this paper proposes the MFFFND-Co(Multimodal Feature Fusion Fake News Detection with Co-Attention Block)model.First,the model deeply explores the textual content,image content,and frequency domain features.Then,it employs a Co-Attention mechanism for cross-modal fusion.Additionally,a semantic consistency detectionmodule is designed to quantify semantic deviations,thereby enhancing the performance of fake news detection.Experimentally verified on two commonly used datasets,Twitter and Weibo,the model achieved F1 scores of 90.0% and 94.0%,respectively,significantly outperforming the pre-modified MFFFND(Multimodal Feature Fusion Fake News Detection with Attention Block)model and surpassing other baseline models.This improves the accuracy of detecting fake information in artificial intelligence detection and engineering software detection.

文摘Segmentation of the retinal vessels in the fundus is crucial for diagnosing ocular diseases.Retinal vessel images often suffer from category imbalance and large scale variations.This ultimately results in incomplete vessel segmentation and poor continuity.In this study,we propose CT-MFENet to address the aforementioned issues.First,the use of context transformer(CT)allows for the integration of contextual feature information,which helps establish the connection between pixels and solve the problem of incomplete vessel continuity.Second,multi-scale dense residual networks are used instead of traditional CNN to address the issue of inadequate local feature extraction when the model encounters vessels at multiple scales.In the decoding stage,we introduce a local-global fusion module.It enhances the localization of vascular information and reduces the semantic gap between high-and low-level features.To address the class imbalance in retinal images,we propose a hybrid loss function that enhances the segmentation ability of the model for topological structures.We conducted experiments on the publicly available DRIVE,CHASEDB1,STARE,and IOSTAR datasets.The experimental results show that our CT-MFENet performs better than most existing methods,including the baseline U-Net.

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.
