Image Emotion Classification Network Based on Multilayer Attentional Interaction,Adaptive Feature Aggregation

The image emotion classification task aims to use the model to automatically predict the emotional response of people when they see the image.Studies have shown that certain local regions are more likely to inspire an emotional response than the whole image.However,existing methods perform poorly in predicting the details of emotional regions and are prone to overfitting during training due to the small size of the dataset.Therefore,this study proposes an image emotion classification network based on multilayer attentional interaction and adaptive feature aggregation.To perform more accurate emotional region prediction,this study designs a multilayer attentional interaction module.The module calculates spatial attention maps for higher-layer semantic features and fusion features through amultilayer shuffle attention module.Through layer-by-layer up-sampling and gating operations,the higher-layer features guide the lower-layer features to learn,eventually achieving sentiment region prediction at the optimal scale.To complement the important information lost by layer-by-layer fusion,this study not only adds an intra-layer fusion to the multilayer attention interaction module but also designs an adaptive feature aggregation module.The module uses global average pooling to compress spatial information and connect channel information from all layers.Then,the module adaptively generates a set of aggregated weights through two fully connected layers to augment the original features of each layer.Eventually,the semantics and details of the different layers are aggregated through gating operations and residual connectivity to complement the lost information.To reduce overfitting on small datasets,the network is pre-trained on the FI dataset,and further weight fine-tuning is performed on the small dataset.The experimental results on the FI,Twitter I and Emotion ROI(Region of Interest)datasets show that the proposed network exceeds existing image emotion classification methods,with accuracies of 90.27%,84.66%and 84.96%.

COVID TCL:A Joint Metric Loss Function for Diagnosing COVID-19 Patient in the Early and Incubation Period

Convolution Neural Networks(CNN)can quickly diagnose COVID-19 patients by analyzing computed tomography(CT)images of the lung,thereby effectively preventing the spread of COVID-19.However,the existing CNN-based COVID-19 diagnosis models do consider the problem that the lung images of COVID-19 patients in the early stage and incubation period are extremely similar to those of the non-COVID-19 population.Which reduces the model’s classification sensitivity,resulting in a higher probability of the model misdiagnosing COVID-19 patients as non-COVID-19 people.To solve the problem,this paper first attempts to apply triplet loss and center loss to the field of COVID-19 image classification,combining softmax loss to design a jointly supervised metric loss function COVID Triplet-Center Loss(COVID-TCL).Triplet loss can increase inter-class discreteness,and center loss can improve intra-class compactness.Therefore,COVID-TCL can help the CNN-based model to extract more discriminative features and strengthen the diagnostic capacity of COVID-19 patients in the early stage and incubation period.Meanwhile,we use the extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)as a classifier to design a COVID-19 images classification model of CNN-XGBoost architecture,to further improve the CNN-based model’s classification effect and operation efficiency.The experiment shows that the classification accuracy of the model proposed in this paper is 97.41%,and the sensitivity is 97.61%,which is higher than the other 7 reference models.The COVID-TCL can effectively improve the classification sensitivity of the CNN-based model,the CNN-XGBoost architecture can further improve the CNN-based model’s classification effect.

Robust Reversible Audio Watermarking Scheme for Telemedicine and Privacy Protection

The leakage of medical audio data in telemedicine seriously violates the privacy of patients.In order to avoid the leakage of patient information in telemedicine,a two-stage reversible robust audio watermarking algorithm is proposed to protect medical audio data.The scheme decomposes the medical audio into two independent embedding domains,embeds the robust watermark and the reversible watermark into the two domains respectively.In order to ensure the audio quality,the Hurst exponent is used to find a suitable position for watermark embedding.Due to the independence of the two embedding domains,the embedding of the second-stage reversible watermark will not affect the first-stage watermark,so the robustness of the first-stage watermark can be well maintained.In the second stage,the correlation between the sampling points in the medical audio is used to modify the hidden bits of the histogram to reduce the modification of the medical audio and reduce the distortion caused by reversible embedding.Simulation experiments show that this scheme has strong robustness against signal processing operations such as MP3 compression of 48 db,additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN)of 20 db,low-pass filtering,resampling,re-quantization and other attacks,and has good imperceptibility.

A Robust 3-D Medical Watermarking Based on Wavelet Transform for Data Protection

In a telemedicine diagnosis system,the emergence of 3D imaging enables doctors to make clearer judgments,and its accuracy also directly affects doctors’diagnosis of the disease.In order to ensure the safe transmission and storage of medical data,a 3D medical watermarking algorithm based on wavelet transform is proposed in this paper.The proposed algorithm employs the principal component analysis(PCA)transform to reduce the data dimension,which can minimize the error between the extracted components and the original data in the mean square sense.Especially,this algorithm helps to create a bacterial foraging model based on particle swarm optimization(BF-PSO),by which the optimal wavelet coefficient is found for embedding and is used as the absolute feature of watermark embedding,thereby achieving the optimal balance between embedding capacity and imperceptibility.A series of experimental results from MATLAB software based on the standard MRI brain volume dataset demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has strong robustness and make the 3D model have small deformation after embedding the watermark.

A Lightweight CNN Based on Transfer Learning for COVID-19 Diagnosis

The key to preventing the COVID-19 is to diagnose patients quickly and accurately.Studies have shown that using Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN)to analyze chest Computed Tomography(CT)images is helpful for timely COVID-19 diagnosis.However,personal privacy issues,public chest CT data sets are relatively few,which has limited CNN’s application to COVID-19 diagnosis.Also,many CNNs have complex structures and massive parameters.Even if equipped with the dedicated Graphics Processing Unit(GPU)for acceleration,it still takes a long time,which is not conductive to widespread application.To solve above problems,this paper proposes a lightweight CNN classification model based on transfer learning.Use the lightweight CNN MobileNetV2 as the backbone of the model to solve the shortage of hardware resources and computing power.In order to alleviate the problem of model overfitting caused by insufficient data set,transfer learning is used to train the model.The study first exploits the weight parameters trained on the ImageNet database to initialize the MobileNetV2 network,and then retrain the model based on the CT image data set provided by Kaggle.Experimental results on a computer equipped only with the Central Processing Unit(CPU)show that it consumes only 1.06 s on average to diagnose a chest CT image.Compared to other lightweight models,the proposed model has a higher classification accuracy and reliability while having a lightweight architecture and few parameters,which can be easily applied to computers without GPU acceleration.Code:github.com/ZhouJie-520/paper-codes.

A Robust Watermarking Scheme Based on ROI and IWT for Remote Consultation of COVID-19

In the current dire situation of the corona virus COVID-19,remote consultations were proposed to avoid cross-infection and regional differences in medical resources.However,the safety of digital medical imaging in remote consultations has also attracted more and more attention from the medical industry.To ensure the integrity and security of medical images,this paper proposes a robust watermarking algorithm to authenticate and recover from the distorted medical images based on regions of interest(ROI)and integer wavelet transform(IWT).First,the medical image is divided into two different parts,regions of interest and non-interest regions.Then the integrity of ROI is verified using the hash algorithm,and the recovery data of the ROI region is calculated at the same time.Also,binary images with the basic information of patients are processed by logistic chaotic map encryption,and then the synthetic watermark is embedded in the medical carrier image using IWT transform.The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested by the simulation experiments based on the MATLAB program in CT images of the lungs.Experimental results show that the algorithm can precisely locate the distorted areas of an image and recover the original ROI on the basis of verifying image reliability.The maximum peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR)value of 51.24 has been achieved,which proves that the watermark is invisible and has strong robustness against noise,compression,and filtering attacks.

A 3D Measurement Method Based on Coded Image

The binocular stereo vision system is often used to reconstruct 3D point clouds of an object.However,it is challenging to find effective matching points in two object images with similar color or less texture.This will lead to mismatching by using the stereo matching algorithm to calculate the disparity map.In this context,the object can’t be reconstructed precisely.As a countermeasure,this study proposes to combine the Gray code fringe projection with the binocular camera as well as to generate denser point clouds by projecting an active light source to increase the texture of the object,which greatly reduces the reconstruction error caused by the lack of texture.Due to the limitation of the camera viewing angle,a one-perspective binocular camera can only reconstruct the 2.5D model of an object.To obtain the 3D model of an object,point clouds obtained from multiple-view images are processed by coarse registration using the coarse SAC-IA algorithm and fine registration using the ICP algorithm,which is followed by voxel filtering fusion of the point cloud.To improve the reconstruction quality,a polarizer is mounted in front of the cameras to filter out the redundant reflected light.Eventually,the 3D model and the dimension of a vase are obtained after calibration.

Real-Time Dense Reconstruction of Indoor Scene

Real-time dense reconstruction of indoor scenes is of great research value for the application and development of service robots,augmented reality,cultural relics conservation and other fields.ORB-SLAM2 method is one of the excellent open source algorithms in visual SLAM system,which is often used in indoor scene reconstruction.However,it is time-consuming and can only build sparse scene map by using ORB features to solve camera pose.In view of the shortcomings of ORB-SLAM2 method,this article proposes an improved ORB-SLAM2 solution,which uses a direct method based on light intensity to solve the camera pose.It can greatly reduce the amount of computation,the speed is significantly improved by about 5 times compared with the ORB feature method.A parallel thread of map reconstruction is added with surfel model,and depth map and RGB map are fused to build the dense map.A Realsense D415 sensor is used as RGB-D cameras to obtain the three-dimensional(3D)point clouds of an indoor environments.After calibration and alignment processing,the sensor is applied in the reconstruction experiment of indoor scene with the improved ORB-SLAM2 method.Results show that the improved ORB-SLAM2 algorithm cause a great improvement in processing speed and reconstructing density of scenes.

A Multi-Conditional Proxy Broadcast Re-Encryption Scheme for Sensor Networks

In sensor networks,it is a challenge to ensure the security of data exchange between packet switching nodes holding different private keys.In order to solve this problem,the present study proposes a scheme called multi-conditional proxy broadcast re-encryption(MC-PBRE).The scheme consists of the following roles:the source node,proxy server,and the target node.If the condition is met,the proxy can convert the encrypted data of the source node into data that the target node can directly decrypt.It allows the proxy server to convert the ciphertext of the source node to a new ciphertext of the target node in a different group,while the proxy server does not need to store the key or reveal the plaintext.At the same time,the proxy server cannot obtain any valuable information in the ciphertext.This paper formalizes the concept of MC-PBRE and its security model,and proposes a MC-PBRE scheme of ciphertext security.Finally,the scheme security has been proved in the random oracle.
