It is difficult to classify targets by the shadow information independently, because the shadow shape is dependent on the radar aspect angle, the depression angle and the resolution. Moreover, the shadow shapes of different targets are similar. When the multiple SAR images of one target from different aspects are available, the performance of the target recognition can be improved. Aimed at the problem, a multi-aspect SAR image recognition technique based on the shadow information is developed. It extracts shadow profiles from SAR images, and takes chain codes as the feature vectors of targets. Then, feature vectors on multiple aspects of the same target are combined with feature sequences, and the hidden Markov model （HMM） is applied to the feature sequences for the target recognition. The simulation result shows the effectiveness of the method.展开更多

However, in real-world FR systems, interferences in images, including illumination condition, occlusion, facial expression and pose variation, make the recognition task challenging. This study explored the impact of those interferences on FR performance and attempted to alleviate it by taking face symmetry into account. A novel and robust FR method was proposed by combining multi-mirror symmetry with local binary pattern(LBP), namely multi-mirror local binary pattern(MMLBP). To enhance FR performance with various interferences, the MMLBP can 1) adaptively compensate lighting under heterogeneous lighting conditions, and 2) generate extracted image features that are much closer to those under well-controlled conditions(i.e., frontal facial images without expression). Therefore, in contrast with the later variations of LBP, the symmetrical singular value decomposition representation(SSVDR) algorithm utilizing the facial symmetry and a state-of-art non-LBP method, the MMLBP method is shown to successfully handle various image interferences that are common in FR applications without preprocessing operation and a large number of training images. The proposed method was validated with four public data sets. According to our analysis, the MMLBP method was demonstrated to achieve robust performance regardless of image interferences.展开更多

文摘The autocollimator is an important device for achieving precise,small-angle,non-contact measurements.It primarily obtains angular parameters of a plane target mirror indirectly by detecting the position of the imaging spot.There is limited report on the core algorithmic techniques in current commercial products and recent scientific research.This paper addresses the performance requirements of coordinate reading accuracy and operational speed in autocollimator image positioning.It proposes a cross-image center recognition scheme based on the Hough transform and another based on Zernike moments and the least squares method.Through experimental evaluation of the accuracy and speed of both schemes,the optimal image recognition scheme balancing measurement accuracy and speed for the autocollimator is determined.Among these,the center recognition method based on Zernike moments and the least squares method offers higher measurement accuracy and stability,while the Hough transform-based method provides faster measurement speed.
文摘Marine environments present significant challenges for image processing due to factors such as low light intensity,suspended particles,and varying degrees of water turbidity.These conditions severely degrade the clarity and quality of captured marine images,making accurate image recognition difficult.The problem is further compounded by the limited availability of high-quality,labeled training samples,which restricts the effectiveness of conventional recognition algorithms.Existing techniques in both academic and industrial settings—such as Principal Component Analysis(PCA),Neural Networks,and Wavelet Transforms—typically involve converting color images to grayscale prior to feature extraction.While this simplifies processing,it also results in the loss of essential color information,which is often critical for distinguishing features in marine imagery.To address these issues,this paper proposes a novel approach that preserves and utilizes the full color information of marine images during processing and recognition.The method combines color image representation with Hu's invariant moments to extract stable and rotation-invariant features.These features are then input into a Back Propagation Neural Network(BPNN),which is trained to recognize and classify various marine targets.The integration of color-based feature extraction with BPNN significantly improves recognition performance,particularly under complex environmental conditions.Experimental results show that the proposed system achieves a recognition accuracy exceeding 98%,demonstrating its effectiveness and potential for practical applications in marine exploration,environmental monitoring,and underwater robotics.

文摘Fine-grained Image Recognition(FGIR)task is dedicated to distinguishing similar sub-categories that belong to the same super-category,such as bird species and car types.In order to highlight visual differences,existing FGIR works often follow two steps:discriminative sub-region localization and local feature representation.However,these works pay less attention on global context information.They neglect a fact that the subtle visual difference in challenging scenarios can be highlighted through exploiting the spatial relationship among different subregions from a global view point.Therefore,in this paper,we consider both global and local information for FGIR,and propose a collaborative teacher-student strategy to reinforce and unity the two types of information.Our framework is implemented mainly by convolutional neural network,referred to Teacher-Student Based Attention Convolutional Neural Network(T-S-ACNN).For fine-grained local information,we choose the classic Multi-Attention Network(MA-Net)as our baseline,and propose a type of boundary constraint to further reduce background noises in the local attention maps.In this way,the discriminative sub-regions tend to appear in the area occupied by fine-grained objects,leading to more accurate sub-region localization.For fine-grained global information,we design a graph convolution based Global Attention Network(GA-Net),which can combine extracted local attention maps from MA-Net with non-local techniques to explore spatial relationship among subregions.At last,we develop a collaborative teacher-student strategy to adaptively determine the attended roles and optimization modes,so as to enhance the cooperative reinforcement of MA-Net and GA-Net.Extensive experiments on CUB-200-2011,Stanford Cars and FGVC Aircraft datasets illustrate the promising performance of our framework.

文摘With rapid urbanization,fires pose significant challenges in urban governance.Traditional fire detection methods often struggle to detect smoke in complex urban scenes due to environmental interferences and variations in viewing angles.This study proposes a novel multimodal smoke detection method that fuses infrared and visible imagery using a transformer-based deep learning model.By capturing both thermal and visual cues,our approach significantly enhances the accuracy and robustness of smoke detection in business parks scenes.We first established a dual-view dataset comprising infrared and visible light videos,implemented an innovative image feature fusion strategy,and designed a deep learning model based on the transformer architecture and attention mechanism for smoke classification.Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing methods,under the condition of multi-view input,it achieves an accuracy rate of 90.88%,precision rate of 98.38%,recall rate of 92.41%and false positive and false negative rates both below 5%,underlining the effectiveness of the proposed multimodal and multi-view fusion approach.The attention mechanism plays a crucial role in improving detection performance,particularly in identifying subtle smoke features.

文摘In-optical-sensor computing architectures based on neuro-inspired optical sensor arrays have become key milestones for in-sensor artificial intelligence(AI)technology,enabling intelligent vision sensing and extensive data processing.These architectures must demonstrate potential advantages in terms of mass production and complementary metal oxide semiconductor compatibility.Here,we introduce a visible-light-driven neuromorphic vision system that integrates front-end retinomorphic photosensors with a back-end artificial neural network(ANN),employing a single neuro-inspired indium-g allium-zinc-oxide photo transistor(NIP)featuring an aluminum sensitization layer(ASL).By methodically adjusting the ASL coverage on IGZO phototransistors,a fast-switching response-type and a synaptic response-type of IGZO photo transistors are successfully developed.Notably,the fabricated NIP shows a remarkable retina-like photoinduced synaptic plasticity under wavelengths up to 635 nm,with over256-states,weight update nonlinearity below 0.1,and a dynamic range of 64.01.Owing to this technology,a 6×6 neuro-inspired optical image sensor array with the NIP can perform highly integrated sensing,memory,and preprocessing functions,including contrast enhancement,and handwritten digit image recognition.The demonstrated prototype highlights the potential for efficient hardware implementations in in-sensor AI technologies.

文摘Considering the difficulty of integrating the depth points of nautical charts of the East China Sea into a global high-precision Grid Digital Elevation Model(Grid-DEM),we proposed a“Fusion based on Image Recognition(FIR)”method for multi-sourced depth data fusion,and used it to merge the electronic nautical chart dataset(referred to as Chart2014 in this paper)with the global digital elevation dataset(referred to as Globalbath2002 in this paper).Compared to the traditional fusion of two datasets by direct combination and interpolation,the new Grid-DEM formed by FIR can better represent the data characteristics of Chart2014,reduce the calculation difficulty,and be more intuitive,and,the choice of different interpolation methods in FIR and the influence of the“exclusion radius R”parameter were discussed.FIR avoids complex calculations of spatial distances among points from different sources,and instead uses spatial exclusion map to perform one-step screening based on the exclusion radius R,which greatly improved the fusion status of a reliable dataset.The fusion results of different experiments were analyzed statistically with root mean square error and mean relative error,showing that the interpolation methods based on Delaunay triangulation are more suitable for the fusion of nautical chart depth of China,and factors such as the point density distribution of multiple source data,accuracy,interpolation method,and various terrain conditions should be fully considered when selecting the exclusion radius R.

文摘Rapid and accurate recognition of coal and rock is an important prerequisite for safe and efficient coal mining.In this paper,a novel coal-rock recognition method is proposed based on fusing laser point cloud and images,named Multi-Modal Frustum PointNet(MMFP).Firstly,MobileNetV3 is used as the backbone network of Mask R-CNN to reduce the network parameters and compress the model volume.The dilated convolutional block attention mechanism(Dilated CBAM)and inception structure are combined with MobileNetV3 to further enhance the detection accuracy.Subsequently,the 2D target candidate box is calculated through the improved Mask R-CNN,and the frustum point cloud in the 2D target candidate box is extracted to reduce the calculation scale and spatial search range.Then,the self-attention PointNet is constructed to segment the fused point cloud within the frustum range,and the bounding box regression network is used to predict the bounding box parameters.Finally,an experimental platform of shearer coal wall cutting is established,and multiple comparative experiments are conducted.Experimental results indicate that the proposed coal-rock recognition method is superior to other advanced models.
文摘The traditional synthetic aperture radar（SAR） image recognition techniques focus on the electro magnetic （EM） scattering centers, ignoring the important role of the shadow information on the SAR image recognition. It is difficult to classify targets by the shadow information independently, because the shadow shape is dependent on the radar aspect angle, the depression angle and the resolution. Moreover, the shadow shapes of different targets are similar. When the multiple SAR images of one target from different aspects are available, the performance of the target recognition can be improved. Aimed at the problem, a multi-aspect SAR image recognition technique based on the shadow information is developed. It extracts shadow profiles from SAR images, and takes chain codes as the feature vectors of targets. Then, feature vectors on multiple aspects of the same target are combined with feature sequences, and the hidden Markov model （HMM） is applied to the feature sequences for the target recognition. The simulation result shows the effectiveness of the method.

文摘Recognising human-object interactions(HOI)is a challenging task for traditional machine learning models,including convolutional neural networks(CNNs).Existing models show limited transferability across complex datasets such as D3D-HOI and SYSU 3D HOI.The conventional architecture of CNNs restricts their ability to handle HOI scenarios with high complexity.HOI recognition requires improved feature extraction methods to overcome the current limitations in accuracy and scalability.This work proposes a Novel quantum gate-enabled hybrid CNN(QEH-CNN)for effectiveHOI recognition.Themodel enhancesCNNperformance by integrating quantumcomputing components.The framework begins with bilateral image filtering,followed bymulti-object tracking(MOT)and Felzenszwalb superpixel segmentation.A watershed algorithm refines object boundaries by cleaning merged superpixels.Feature extraction combines a histogram of oriented gradients(HOG),Global Image Statistics for Texture(GIST)descriptors,and a novel 23-joint keypoint extractionmethod using relative joint angles and joint proximitymeasures.A fuzzy optimization process refines the extracted features before feeding them into the QEH-CNNmodel.The proposed model achieves 95.06%accuracy on the 3D-D3D-HOI dataset and 97.29%on the SYSU3DHOI dataset.Theintegration of quantum computing enhances feature optimization,leading to improved accuracy and overall model efficiency.

文摘Human Activity Recognition(HAR)is a novel area for computer vision.It has a great impact on healthcare,smart environments,and surveillance while is able to automatically detect human behavior.It plays a vital role in many applications,such as smart home,healthcare,human computer interaction,sports analysis,and especially,intelligent surveillance.In this paper,we propose a robust and efficient HAR system by leveraging deep learning paradigms,including pre-trained models,CNN architectures,and their average-weighted fusion.However,due to the diversity of human actions and various environmental influences,as well as a lack of data and resources,achieving high recognition accuracy remain elusive.In this work,a weighted average ensemble technique is employed to fuse three deep learning models:EfficientNet,ResNet50,and a custom CNN.The results of this study indicate that using a weighted average ensemble strategy for developing more effective HAR models may be a promising idea for detection and classification of human activities.Experiments by using the benchmark dataset proved that the proposed weighted ensemble approach outperformed existing approaches in terms of accuracy and other key performance measures.The combined average-weighted ensemble of pre-trained and CNN models obtained an accuracy of 98%,compared to 97%,96%,and 95%for the customized CNN,EfficientNet,and ResNet50 models,respectively.

文摘Face recognition(FR) is a practical application of pattern recognition(PR) and remains a compelling topic in the study of computer vision. However, in real-world FR systems, interferences in images, including illumination condition, occlusion, facial expression and pose variation, make the recognition task challenging. This study explored the impact of those interferences on FR performance and attempted to alleviate it by taking face symmetry into account. A novel and robust FR method was proposed by combining multi-mirror symmetry with local binary pattern(LBP), namely multi-mirror local binary pattern(MMLBP). To enhance FR performance with various interferences, the MMLBP can 1) adaptively compensate lighting under heterogeneous lighting conditions, and 2) generate extracted image features that are much closer to those under well-controlled conditions(i.e., frontal facial images without expression). Therefore, in contrast with the later variations of LBP, the symmetrical singular value decomposition representation(SSVDR) algorithm utilizing the facial symmetry and a state-of-art non-LBP method, the MMLBP method is shown to successfully handle various image interferences that are common in FR applications without preprocessing operation and a large number of training images. The proposed method was validated with four public data sets. According to our analysis, the MMLBP method was demonstrated to achieve robust performance regardless of image interferences.
文摘With the continuous progress of The Times and the development of technology,the rise of network social media has also brought the“explosive”growth of image data.As one of the main ways of People’s Daily communication,image is widely used as a carrier of communication because of its rich content,intuitive and other advantages.Image recognition based on convolution neural network is the first application in the field of image recognition.A series of algorithm operations such as image eigenvalue extraction,recognition and convolution are used to identify and analyze different images.The rapid development of artificial intelligence makes machine learning more and more important in its research field.Use algorithms to learn each piece of data and predict the outcome.This has become an important key to open the door of artificial intelligence.In machine vision,image recognition is the foundation,but how to associate the low-level information in the image with the high-level image semantics becomes the key problem of image recognition.Predecessors have provided many model algorithms,which have laid a solid foundation for the development of artificial intelligence and image recognition.The multi-level information fusion model based on the VGG16 model is an improvement on the fully connected neural network.Different from full connection network,convolutional neural network does not use full connection method in each layer of neurons of neural network,but USES some nodes for connection.Although this method reduces the computation time,due to the fact that the convolutional neural network model will lose some useful feature information in the process of propagation and calculation,this paper improves the model to be a multi-level information fusion of the convolution calculation method,and further recovers the discarded feature information,so as to improve the recognition rate of the image.VGG divides the network into five groups(mimicking the five layers of AlexNet),yet it USES 3*3 filters and combines them as a convolution sequence.Network deeper DCNN,channel number is bigger.The recognition rate of the model was verified by 0RL Face Database,BioID Face Database and CASIA Face Image Database.

文摘To address the problems about the difficulty in accurate recognition of distribution features of gas flow center at blast furnace throat and determine the relationship between gas flow center distribution and gas utilization rate,a method for recognizing distribution features of blast furnace gas flow center was proposed based on infrared image processing,and distribution features of blast furnace gas flow center and corresponding gas utilization rates were categorized by using fuzzy C-means clustering and statistical methods.A concept of gas flow center offset was introduced.The results showed that,when the percentage of gas flow center without offset exceeded 85%,the average blast furnace gas utilization rate was as high as 41%;when the percentage of gas flow center without offset exceeded50%,the gas utilization rate was primarily the center gas utilization rate,and exhibited a positive correlation with no center offset degree;when the percentage of gas flow center without offset was below 50% but the sum of the percentage of gas flow center without offset and that of gas flow center with small offset exceeded 86%,the gas utilization rate depended on both the center and the edges,and was primarily the edge gas utilization rate.The method proposed was able to accurately and effectively recognize gas flow center distribution state and the relationship between it and gas utilization rate,providing evidence in favor of on-line blast furnace control.
