Scene text recognition has important application value and attracted the interest of plenty of researchers. At present, many methods have achieved good results, but most of the existing approaches attempt to improve the performance of scene text recognition from the image level. They have a good effect on reading regular scene texts. However, there are still many obstacles to recognizing text on low-quality images such as curved, occlusion, and blur. This exacerbates the difficulty of feature extraction because the image quality is uneven. In addition, the results of model testing are highly dependent on training data, so there is still room for improvement in scene text recognition methods. In this work, we present a natural scene text recognizer to improve the recognition performance from the feature level, which contains feature representation and feature enhancement. In terms of feature representation, we propose an efficient feature extractor combined with Representative Batch Normalization and ResNet. It reduces the dependence of the model on training data and improves the feature representation ability of different instances. In terms of feature enhancement, we use a feature enhancement network to expand the receptive field of feature maps, so that feature maps contain rich feature information. Enhanced feature representation capability helps to improve the recognition performance of the model. We conducted experiments on 7 benchmarks, which shows that this method is highly competitive in recognizing both regular and irregular texts. The method achieved top1 recognition accuracy on four benchmarks of IC03, IC13, IC15, and SVTP.

서로 다른 시간에 촬영된 같은 위치의 원격 탐사 영상에서 변화된 사항을 찾는 변화 탐지는 다양한 영역에 적용되기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 그러나 정합 오차, 건물 변위 오차, 그림자 오차 등이 오탐지를 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문은 CADNet(Change Attention Dense Siamese Network)을 제안한다. CADNet은 다양한 크기의 변화 영역을 탐지하기 위해 FPN(Feature Pyramid Network)을 사용하며, 변화 영역에 주목하는 변화 주목 모듈을 적용하고, 낮은 수준 (Low-level)의 특징과 높은 수준 (High-level)의 특징을 모두 포함하고 있는 피처 맵을 변화 탐지에 사용하기 위해 DenseNet을 피처 추출기로 사용한다. CADNet의 성능을 Precision, Recall, F1 측면에서 측정하였을 때 WHU 데이터 세트에 대하여 98.44%, 98.47%, 98.46%이었고, LEVIR-CD 데이터 세트에 대해 90.72%, 91.89%, 91.30%이었다. 이 실험의 결과는 CADNet이 기존 변화 탐지 방법들보다 향상된 성능을 제공한다는 것을 보여준다.

Recent studies have shown that the neural network-based binary code similarity detection technology performs well in vulnerability mining, plagiarism detection, and malicious code analysis. However, existing cross-architecture methods still suffer from insufficient feature characterization and low discrimination accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes a cross-architecture binary function similarity detection method based on composite feature model (SDCFM). Firstly, the binary function is converted into vector representation according to the proposed composite feature model, which is composed of instruction statistical features, control flow graph structural features, and application program interface calling behavioral features. Then, the composite features are embedded by the proposed hierarchical embedding network based on a graph neural network. In which, the block-level features and the function-level features are processed separately and finally fused into the embedding. In addition, to make the trained model more accurate and stable, our method utilizes the embeddings of predecessor nodes to modify the node embedding in the iterative updating process of the graph neural network. To assess the effectiveness of composite feature model, we contrast SDCFM with the state of art method on benchmark datasets. The experimental results show that SDCFM has good performance both on the area under the curve in the binary function similarity detection task and the vulnerable candidate function ranking in vulnerability search task.

실내외 영상 분류에 대한 연구는 밝기나 에지 정보와 같이 하위 레벨(low-level) 정보의 단순 결합을 이용하여 수행되어 왔다. 그러나 기존의 하위 레벨 영상 정보만을 기반으로 하는 실내외 영상 분류 방법은 다양한 콘텐츠를 극복하는데 한차가 군기 때문에 상위 레벨(high-level) 영상 정보를 함께 이용하는 방법에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 연구의 대부분은 영상 내 하늘이나 수풀과 같은 영역을 검출하기 위해 별도의 알고리즘을 수행하기 때문에 특징 벡터의 차원을 증가시키거나 수행 속도를 저하시키는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 효율적인 실내외 영상 분류 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 효과적인 특징 벡터를 생성하기 위해 영상을 5개의 하위 블록으로 나눈다. 각각의 블록에 대하여, 제안하는 에지 색상 방향 히스토그램(edge and color orientation histogram, ECOH) 기술사(descriptor)를 이용하여 해당 블록을 표현하고 모든 블록의 값을 연결하여 최종적으로 특징 벡터를 생성한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 효율성과 강건함을 보이기 위해 1200개 이상의 다양한 실내외 영상을 사용하였으며, 학습을 통해 각 영역의 가중치를 결정하여 분류 성능을 향상 시켰다.

This paper presents a novel convolutional neural network based multi-feature fusion learning method for non-rigid 3D model retrieval, which can investigate the useful discriminative information of the heat kernel signature (HKS) descriptor and the wave kernel signature (WKS) descriptor. At first, we compute the 2D shape distributions of the two kinds of descriptors to represent the 3D model and use them as the input to the networks. Then we construct two convolutional neural networks for the HKS distribution and the WKS distribution separately, and use the multi-feature fusion layer to connect them. The fusion layer not only can exploit more discriminative characteristics of the two descriptors, but also can complement the correlated information between the two kinds of descriptors. Furthermore, to further improve the performance of the description ability, the cross-connected layer is built to combine the low-level features with high-level features. Extensive experiments have validated the effectiveness of the designed multi-feature fusion learning method.

An experimental study has been carried on high-preheated temperature air combustion. Because the flames with high-preheated temperature air combustion were much more stable and homogeneous(both temporally and spatially) as compared to the room-temperature combustion air. The global flame feature showed range of flame colors (yellow, blue, blurish-green) over the range of conditions. Low level of NOx along with low level of CO have been obtained under high-preheated air combustion conditions. The thermal and chemical behavior of high-preheated air combustion flames depends on preheated temperature and oxygen concentration air.

The recovery of reasonable depth information from different scenes is a popular topic in the field of computer vision. For generating depth maps with better details, we present an efficacious monocular depth prediction framework with coordinate attention and feature fusion. Specifically, the proposed framework contains attention, multi-scale and feature fusion modules. The attention module improves features based on coordinate attention to enhance the predicted effect, whereas the multi-scale module integrates useful low- and high-level contextual features with higher resolution. Moreover, we developed a feature fusion module to combine the heterogeneous features to generate high-quality depth outputs. We also designed a hybrid loss function that measures prediction errors from the perspective of depth and scale-invariant gradients, which contribute to preserving rich details. We conducted the experiments on public RGBD datasets, and the evaluation results show that the proposed scheme can considerably enhance the accuracy of depth prediction, achieving 0.051 for log10 and 0.992 for δ<1.25³ on the NYUv2 dataset.

Despite the many significant advances made in robot architecture, the basic approaches are deliberative and reactive methods. They are quite different in recognizing outer environment and inner operating mechanism. For this reason, they have almost opposite characteristics. Later, researchers integrate these two approaches into hybrid architecture. In such architecture, Reactive module also called low-level motion control module have advantage in real-time reacting and sensing outer environment; Deliberative module also called high-level task planning module is good at planning task using world knowledge, reasoning and intelligent computing. This paper presents a framework of the integrated planning and control for mobile robot navigation. Unlike the existing hybrid architecture, it learns topological map from the world map by using MST (Minimum Spanning Tree)-based SOFM (Self-Organizing Feature Map) algorithm. High-level planning module plans simple tasks to low-level control module and low-level control module feedbacks the environment information to high-level planning module. This method allows for a tight integration between high-level and low-level modules, which provide real-time performance and strong adaptability and reactivity to outer environment and its unforeseen changes. This proposed framework is verified by simulation.
