Many researchers have studied the detection of real pornographic pictures, but there are few studies on those that are artificial. In this work, we studied how to detect artificial pornographic pictures, especially when they are on social networks. The whole detection process can be divided into two stages： feature selection and picture detection. In the feature selection stage, seven types of features that favour picture detection were selected. In the picture detection stage, three steps were included. 1） In order to alleviate the imbalance in the number of artificial pornographic pictures and normal ones, the training dataset of artificial pornographic pictures was expanded. Therefore, the features which were extracted from the training dataset can also be expanded too. 2） In order to reduce the time of feature extraction, a fast method which extracted features based on the proportionally scaled picture rather than the original one was proposed. 3） Three tree models were compared and a gradient boost decision tree （GBDT） was selected for the final picture detection. Three sets of experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve better recognition precision and drastically reduce the time cost of the method.展开更多

The behavior of a digital circuit with a multiple fault may significantly differ from that of a single fault. A new method for the detection of multiple faults in digital circuits is presented in this paper, the method is based on binary decision diagram （BDD）.

Secondly, a test BDD is obtained by the XOR operation of the BDDs corresponds to normal circuit and faulty circuit. In the test BDD, each input assignment that leads to the leaf node labeled 1 is a test vector of multiple faults. Therefore, the test set of multiple faults is generated by searching for the type of input assignments in the test BDD. Experimental results on some digital circuits show the feasibility of the approach presented in this paper.展开更多

Moreover, the "false positives" results caused by a single biomolecule detections easily leads to erroneous clinical diagnosis and treatment. Thus, it is important for the homogenous quantification of multiple biomolecules in not only basic research but also practical application.

This method defines a whole-peak-outlier elimination （WPOE） criterion, which is based on in-peak-samples correlation of each target echo spectra, to trim off the target signals and abnormal disturbances with great amplitude from the complex spectra. Therefore, cleaned background noise samples are obtained to improve the accuracy and reliability of noise level estimation. When the background noise is nonhomogeneous, the detection samples are limited and often occupied heavily with outliers. In this case, the problem that the detection threshold is overvalued can be solved. In applications on experimental data, it is verified that this method can reduce the miss alarm rate of signal detection effectively in multiple target situations as well as make the adaptability of the detector better.展开更多

The errors of the detection are often caused by choosing wrong detection method. In this paper a modified multiple subarrays amplitude-phase united detection method is proposed , which uses both the amplitude and phase of echo from bottom.This new method not only realizes the super-wide swath coverage, but also improves the detection performance by using the phase differences among subarrays in place of phases of subarrays to estimate the phase slope image. Experimental results are also analyzed and discussed to demonstrate the effectivity of the proposed approach.展开更多

Many researchers have studied the detection of real pornographic pictures, but there are few studies on those that are artificial. In this work, we studied how to detect artificial pornographic pictures, especially when they are on social networks. The whole detection process can be divided into two stages： feature selection and picture detection. In the feature selection stage, seven types of features that favour picture detection were selected. In the picture detection stage, three steps were included. 1） In order to alleviate the imbalance in the number of artificial pornographic pictures and normal ones, the training dataset of artificial pornographic pictures was expanded. Therefore, the features which were extracted from the training dataset can also be expanded too. 2） In order to reduce the time of feature extraction, a fast method which extracted features based on the proportionally scaled picture rather than the original one was proposed. 3） Three tree models were compared and a gradient boost decision tree （GBDT） was selected for the final picture detection. Three sets of experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve better recognition precision and drastically reduce the time cost of the method.

This method defines a whole-peak-outlier elimination （WPOE） criterion, which is based on in-peak-samples correlation of each target echo spectra, to trim off the target signals and abnormal disturbances with great amplitude from the complex spectra. Therefore, cleaned background noise samples are obtained to improve the accuracy and reliability of noise level estimation. When the background noise is nonhomogeneous, the detection samples are limited and often occupied heavily with outliers. In this case, the problem that the detection threshold is overvalued can be solved. In applications on experimental data, it is verified that this method can reduce the miss alarm rate of signal detection effectively in multiple target situations as well as make the adaptability of the detector better.

文摘Detection of point mutations in driver genes is of great significance for the early diagnosis,treatment,and prognostic evaluation of cancer.However,current detection methods do not offer versatility,specificity,and rapid performance simultaneously.Thus,multiple mutation detection processes are necessary,which results in long processing times and high costs.In this study,we developed a thermodynamics-guided two-way interlocking DNA cascade system for universal multiplexed mutation detection(TTI-CS).This strategy is based on the DNA probe,which changes the thermodynamic balance of the DNA cascade by the designed bubble structure,thereby achieving a good distinction between mutant and wild-type DNA.The designed method greatly shortens the detection time through two-way intrusion.In addition,this method only changes two inexpensive trigger and bridge sequences,which replace the specific and expensive nucleic acid probes used in analyses based on traditional DNA probe methods,thereby enabling multiple detections.We performed the detection of synthetic single-stranded DNA for the five mutation points and successfully detected in endometrial cancer specimens.The detection limit of this method is0.1%,which better meets the needs of clinical low-abundance multiple mutation detection.Overall,TTI-CS is currently one of the best methods for detecting multiple mutation detections.

文摘Either amplitude based methods or phase based methods are usually used in multibeam bathymetry system and chosen in practical measurement by ad hoc criteria. The errors of the detection are often caused by choosing wrong detection method. In this paper a modified multiple subarrays amplitude-phase united detection method is proposed , which uses both the amplitude and phase of echo from bottom.This new method not only realizes the super-wide swath coverage, but also improves the detection performance by using the phase differences among subarrays in place of phases of subarrays to estimate the phase slope image. Experimental results are also analyzed and discussed to demonstrate the effectivity of the proposed approach.

文摘Compared to 3D object detection using a single camera,multiple cameras can overcome some limitations on field-of-view,occlusion,and low detection confidence.This study employs multiple surveillance cameras and develops a cooperative 3D object detection and tracking framework by incorporating temporal and spatial information.The framework consists of a 3D vehicle detection model,cooperatively spatial-temporal relation scheme,and heuristic camera constellation method.Specifically,the proposed cross-camera association scheme combines the geometric relationship between multiple cameras and objects in corresponding detections.The spatial-temporal method is designed to associate vehicles between different points of view at a single timestamp and fulfill vehicle tracking in the time aspect.The proposed framework is evaluated based on a synthetic cooperative dataset and shows high reliability,where the cooperative perception can recall more than 66%of the trajectory instead of 11%for single-point sensing.This could contribute to full-range surveillance for intelligent transportation systems.

文摘Synaptic dysfunction occurs early in Alzheimer＇s disease （AD） and is acknowledged as a primary pathologic target for treatment. Synaptic degeneration is the pathological feature most strongly correlated with loss of cognitive function ante mortern （Terry et al., 1991）. Synapses are heavily damaged in hippocampal and neocortical regions of AD brain, whereas motor and occipital cortices are relatively spared （Honer et al., 1992）. Despite extensive work, the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic degeneration are largely unknown.

文摘Developing fluorescence probes with multiple responses has vital significance but remains challenging.Herein,for the first time,we present a mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)-triggered pH response signalamplified fluorescent probe(QCY-DBT)for multiple cell detection.The probe exhibited a large stokes shift(229 nm),excellent DNA selectivity over RNA,and ultrasensitivity of detection limit(DL;74.0 ng/mL).Thus,QCY-DBT was successfully applied to analyze multiple human peripheral blood cells and visualize mtDNA in healthy and apoptotic cells.In the tumor acidic environment(pH 6.0–7.0),the absorbance of QCY-DBT at 436 nm increased,and the fluorescence signal(665 nm)was amplified by mtDNA,which enabled the direct observation of tumor cells.Our study provides help in designing smart probes with multiple responses for efficient abnormal cell detection.

文摘To improve the bit error rate(BER)performance of multi-user signal detection in satelliteterrestrial downlink non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)systems,an iterative signal detection algorithm based on soft interference cancellation with optimal power allocation is proposed.Given that power allocation has a significant impact on BER performance,the optimal power allocation is obtained by minimizing the average BER of NOMA users.According to the allocated powers,successive interference cancellation(SIC)between NOMA users is performed in descending power order.For each user,an iterative soft interference cancellation is performed,and soft symbol probabilities are calculated for soft decision.To improve detection accuracy and without increasing the complexity,the aforementioned algorithm is optimized by adding minimum mean square error(MMSE)signal estimation before detection,and in each iteration soft symbol probabilities are utilized for soft-decision of the current user and also for the update of soft interference of the previous user.Simulation results illustrate that the optimized algorithm i.e.MMSE-IDBSIC significantly outperforms joint multi-user detection and SIC detection by 7.57dB and 8.03dB in terms of BER performance.

文摘The problem of fault detection for linear discrete timevarying systems with multiplicative noise is dealt with.By using an observer-based robust fault detection filter（FDF） as a residual generator,the design of the FDF is formulated in the framework of H ∞ filtering for a class of stochastic time-varying systems.A sufficient condition for the existence of the FDF is derived in terms of a Riccati equation.The determination of the parameter matrices of the filter is converted into a quadratic optimization problem,and an analytical solution of the parameter matrices is obtained by solving the Riccati equation.Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
