NFHP-RN:AMethod of Few-Shot Network Attack Detection Based on the Network Flow Holographic Picture-ResNet

Due to the rapid evolution of Advanced Persistent Threats(APTs)attacks,the emergence of new and rare attack samples,and even those never seen before,make it challenging for traditional rule-based detection methods to extract universal rules for effective detection.With the progress in techniques such as transfer learning and meta-learning,few-shot network attack detection has progressed.However,challenges in few-shot network attack detection arise from the inability of time sequence flow features to adapt to the fixed length input requirement of deep learning,difficulties in capturing rich information from original flow in the case of insufficient samples,and the challenge of high-level abstract representation.To address these challenges,a few-shot network attack detection based on NFHP(Network Flow Holographic Picture)-RN(ResNet)is proposed.Specifically,leveraging inherent properties of images such as translation invariance,rotation invariance,scale invariance,and illumination invariance,network attack traffic features and contextual relationships are intuitively represented in NFHP.In addition,an improved RN network model is employed for high-level abstract feature extraction,ensuring that the extracted high-level abstract features maintain the detailed characteristics of the original traffic behavior,regardless of changes in background traffic.Finally,a meta-learning model based on the self-attention mechanism is constructed,achieving the detection of novel APT few-shot network attacks through the empirical generalization of high-level abstract feature representations of known-class network attack behaviors.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can learn high-level abstract features of network attacks across different traffic detail granularities.Comparedwith state-of-the-artmethods,it achieves favorable accuracy,precision,recall,and F1 scores for the identification of unknown-class network attacks through cross-validation onmultiple datasets.

An improved deep dilated convolutional neural network for seismic facies interpretation

With the successful application and breakthrough of deep learning technology in image segmentation,there has been continuous development in the field of seismic facies interpretation using convolutional neural networks.These intelligent and automated methods significantly reduce manual labor,particularly in the laborious task of manually labeling seismic facies.However,the extensive demand for training data imposes limitations on their wider application.To overcome this challenge,we adopt the UNet architecture as the foundational network structure for seismic facies classification,which has demonstrated effective segmentation results even with small-sample training data.Additionally,we integrate spatial pyramid pooling and dilated convolution modules into the network architecture to enhance the perception of spatial information across a broader range.The seismic facies classification test on the public data from the F3 block verifies the superior performance of our proposed improved network structure in delineating seismic facies boundaries.Comparative analysis against the traditional UNet model reveals that our method achieves more accurate predictive classification results,as evidenced by various evaluation metrics for image segmentation.Obviously,the classification accuracy reaches an impressive 96%.Furthermore,the results of seismic facies classification in the seismic slice dimension provide further confirmation of the superior performance of our proposed method,which accurately defines the range of different seismic facies.This approach holds significant potential for analyzing geological patterns and extracting valuable depositional information.

A multivariate grey incidence model for different scale data based on spatial pyramid pooling

In order to solve the problem that existing multivariate grey incidence models cannot be applied to time series on different scales, a new model is proposed based on spatial pyramid pooling.Firstly, local features of multivariate time series on different scales are pooled and aggregated by spatial pyramid pooling to construct n levels feature pooling matrices on the same scale. Secondly,Deng's multivariate grey incidence model is introduced to measure the degree of incidence between feature pooling matrices at each level. Thirdly, grey incidence degrees at each level are integrated into a global incidence degree. Finally, the performance of the proposed model is verified on two data sets compared with a variety of algorithms. The results illustrate that the proposed model is more effective and efficient than other similarity measure algorithms.

Local-Tetra-Patterns for Face Recognition Encoded on Spatial Pyramid Matching

Face recognition is a big challenge in the research field with a lot of problems like misalignment,illumination changes,pose variations,occlusion,and expressions.Providing a single solution to solve all these problems at a time is a challenging task.We have put some effort to provide a solution to solving all these issues by introducing a face recognition model based on local tetra patterns and spatial pyramid matching.The technique is based on a procedure where the input image is passed through an algorithm that extracts local features by using spatial pyramid matching andmax-pooling.Finally,the input image is recognized using a robust kernel representation method using extracted features.The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the proposed method is carried on benchmark image datasets.Experimental results showed that the proposed method performs better in terms of standard performance evaluation parameters as compared to state-of-the-art methods on AR,ORL,LFW,and FERET face recognition datasets.

PF-YOLOv4-Tiny: Towards Infrared Target Detection on Embedded Platform

Infrared target detection models are more required than ever before to be deployed on embedded platforms,which requires models with less memory consumption and better real-time performance while considering accuracy.To address the above challenges,we propose a modified You Only Look Once(YOLO)algorithm PF-YOLOv4-Tiny.The algorithm incorpo-rates spatial pyramidal pooling(SPP)and squeeze-and-excitation(SE)visual attention modules to enhance the target localization capability.The PANet-based-feature pyramid networks(P-FPN)are proposed to transfer semantic information and location information simultaneously to ameliorate detection accuracy.To lighten the network,the standard convolutions other than the backbone network are replaced with depthwise separable convolutions.In post-processing the images,the soft-non-maximum suppression(soft-NMS)algorithm is employed to subside the missed and false detection problems caused by the occlusion between targets.The accuracy of our model can finally reach 61.75%,while the total Params is only 9.3 M and GFLOPs is 11.At the same time,the inference speed reaches 87 FPS on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti,which can meet the requirements of the infrared target detection algorithm for the embedded deployments.

Robust Texture Classification via Group-Collaboratively Representation-Based Strategy

In this paper, we present a simple but powerful ensemble for robust texture classification. The proposed method uses a single type of feature descriptor, i.e. scale-invariant feature transform （SIFT）, and inherits the spirit of the spatial pyramid matching model （SPM）. In a flexible way of partitioning the original texture images, our approach can produce sufficient informative local features and thereby form a reliable feature pond or train a new class-specific dictionary. To take full advantage of this feature pond, we develop a group-collaboratively representation-based strategy （GCRS） for the final classification. It is solved by the well-known group lasso. But we go beyond of this and propose a locality-constraint method to speed up this, named local constraint-GCRS （LC-GCRS）. Experimental results on three public texture datasets demonstrate the proposed approach achieves competitive outcomes and even outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, most of methods cannot work well when only a few samples of each category are available for training, but our approach still achieves very high classification accuracy, e.g. an average accuracy of 92.1% for the Brodatz dataset when only one image is used for training, significantly higher than any other methods.

Multi-Object Detection of Chinese License Plate in Complex Scenes

Multi-license plate detection in complex scenes is still a challenging task because of multiple vehicle license plates with different sizes and classes in the images having complex background.The edge features of high-density distribution and the high curvature features of stroke turning of Chinese character are important signs to distinguish Chinese license plate from other objects.To accurately detect multiple vehicle license plates with different sizes and classes in complex scenes,a multi-object detection of Chinese license plate method based on improved YOLOv3 network was proposed in this research.The improvements include replacing the residual block of the YOLOv3 backbone network with the Inception-ResNet-A block,imbedding the SPP block into the detection network,cutting the redundant Inception-ResNet-A block to suit for the multi-license plate detection task,and clustering the ground truth boxes of license plates to obtain a new set of anchor boxes.A Chinese vehicle license plate image dataset was built for training and testing the improved network,and the location and class of the license plates in each image were accurately labeled.The dataset has 62,153 pieces of images and 4 classes of China vehicle license plates,almost images have multiple license plates with different sizes.Experiments demonstrated that the multilicense plate detection method obtained 83.4%mAP,98.88%precision,98.17%recall,98.52 F1 score,89.196 BFLOPS and 22 FPS on the test dataset,and whole performance was better than the other five compared networks including YOLOv3,SSD,Faster-RCNN,EfficientDet and RetinaNet.

HSPOG:An Optimized Target Recognition Method Based on Histogram of Spatial Pyramid Oriented Gradients

The Histograms of Oriented Gradients(HOG)can produce good results in an image target recognition mission,but it requires the same size of the target images for classification of inputs.In response to this shortcoming,this paper performs spatial pyramid segmentation on target images of any size,gets the pixel size of each image block dynamically,and further calculates and normalizes the gradient of the oriented feature of each block region in each image layer.The new feature is called the Histogram of Spatial Pyramid Oriented Gradients(HSPOG).This approach can obtain stable vectors for images of any size,and increase the target detection rate in the image recognition process significantly.Finally,the article verifies the algorithm using VOC2012 image data and compares the effect of HOG.

Automatic Segmentation Method for Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Image of the Bone Graft Region within Maxillary Sinus Based on the Atrous Spatial Pyramid Convolution Network

Sinus floor elevation with a lateral window approach requires bone graft(BG)to ensure sufficient bone mass,and it is necessary to measure and analyse the BG region for follow-up of postoperative patients.However,the BG region from cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT)images is connected to the margin of the maxillary sinus,and its boundary is blurred.Common segmentation methods are usually performed manually by experienced doctors,and are complicated by challenges such as low efficiency and low precision.In this study,an auto-segmentation approach was applied to the BG region within the maxillary sinus based on an atrous spatial pyramid convolution(ASPC)network.The ASPC module was adopted using residual connections to compose multiple atrous convolutions,which could extract more features on multiple scales.Subsequently,a segmentation network of the BG region with multiple ASPC modules was established,which effectively improved the segmentation performance.Although the training data were insufficient,our networks still achieved good auto-segmentation results,with a dice coefficient(Dice)of 87.13%,an Intersection over Union(Iou)of 78.01%,and a sensitivity of 95.02%.Compared with other methods,our method achieved a better segmentation effect,and effectively reduced the misjudgement of segmentation.Our method can thus be used to implement automatic segmentation of the BG region and improve doctors’work efficiency,which is of great importance for developing preliminary studies on the measurement of postoperative BG within the maxillary sinus.

Three-dimensional nanoscale reduced-angle ptycho-tomographic imaging with deep learning(RAPID)

X-ray ptychographic tomography is a nondestructive method for three dimensional(3D)imaging with nanometer-sized resolvable features.The size of the volume that can be imaged is almost arbitrary,limited only by the penetration depth and the available scanning time.Here we present a method that rapidly accelerates the imaging operation over a given volume through acquiring a limited set of data via large angular reduction and compensating for the resulting ill-posedness through deeply learned priors.The proposed 3D reconstruction method“RAPID”relies initially on a subset of the object measured with the nominal number of required illumination angles and treats the reconstructions from the conventional two-step approach as ground truth.It is then trained to reproduce equal fidelity from much fewer angles.After training,it performs with similar fidelity on the hitherto unexamined portions of the object,previously not shown during training,with a limited set of acquisitions.In our experimental demonstration,the nominal number of angles was 349 and the reduced number of angles was 21,resulting in a×140 aggregate speedup over a volume of 4.48×93.18×3.92μm^(3) and with(14 nm)^(3) feature size,i.e.-10^(8) voxels.RAPID’s key distinguishing feature over earlier attempts is the incorporation of atrous spatial pyramid pooling modules into the deep neural network framework in an anisotropic way.We found that adjusting the atrous rate improves reconstruction fidelity because it expands the convolutional kernels’range to match the physics of multi-slice ptychography without significantly increasing the number of parameters.

3D pulmonary vessel segmentation based on improved residual attention u-net

Automatic segmentation of pulmonary vessels is a fundamental and essential task for the diagnosis of various pulmonary vessels diseases.The accuracy of segmentation is suffering from the complex vascular structure.In this paper,an Improved Residual Attention U-Net(IRAU-Net)aiming to segment pulmonary vessel in 3D is proposed.To extract more vessel structure information,the Squeeze and Excitation(SE)block is embedded in the down sampling stage.And in the up sampling stage,the global attention module(GAM)is used to capture target features in both high and low levels.These two stages are connected by Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling(ASPP)which can sample in various receptive fields with a low computational cost.By the evaluation experiment,the better performance of IRAU-Net on the segmentation of terminal vessel is indicated.It is expected to provide robust support for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Scale variant vehicle object recognition by CNN module of multipooling- PCA process

The moving vehicles present different scales in the image due to the perspective effect of different viewpoint distances.The premise of advanced driver assistance system(ADAS)system for safety surveillance and safe driving is early identification of vehicle targets in front of the ego vehicle.The recognition of the same vehicle at different scales requires feature learning with scale invariance.Unlike existing feature vector methods,the normalized PCA eigenvalues calculated from feature maps are used to extract scale-invariant features.This study proposed a convolutional neural network(CNN)structure embedded with the module of multi-pooling-PCA for scale variant object recognition.The validation of the proposed network structure is verified by scale variant vehicle image dataset.Compared with scale invariant network algorithms of Scale-invariant feature transform(SIFT)and FSAF as well as miscellaneous networks,the proposed network can achieve the best recognition accuracy tested by the vehicle scale variant dataset.To testify the practicality of this modified network,the testing of public dataset ImageNet is done and the comparable results proved its effectiveness in general purpose of applications.
