Towards complex scenes: A deep learning-based camouflaged people detection method for snapshot multispectral images

Camouflaged people are extremely expert in actively concealing themselves by effectively utilizing cover and the surrounding environment. Despite advancements in optical detection capabilities through imaging systems, including spectral, polarization, and infrared technologies, there is still a lack of effective real-time method for accurately detecting small-size and high-efficient camouflaged people in complex real-world scenes. Here, this study proposes a snapshot multispectral image-based camouflaged detection model, multispectral YOLO(MS-YOLO), which utilizes the SPD-Conv and Sim AM modules to effectively represent targets and suppress background interference by exploiting the spatial-spectral target information. Besides, the study constructs the first real-shot multispectral camouflaged people dataset(MSCPD), which encompasses diverse scenes, target scales, and attitudes. To minimize information redundancy, MS-YOLO selects an optimal subset of 12 bands with strong feature representation and minimal inter-band correlation as input. Through experiments on the MSCPD, MS-YOLO achieves a mean Average Precision of 94.31% and real-time detection at 65 frames per second, which confirms the effectiveness and efficiency of our method in detecting camouflaged people in various typical desert and forest scenes. Our approach offers valuable support to improve the perception capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles in detecting enemy forces and rescuing personnel in battlefield.

Autonomous landing scene recognition based on transfer learning for drones

In this paper, we study autonomous landing scene recognition with knowledge transfer for drones. Considering the difficulties in aerial remote sensing, especially that some scenes are extremely similar, or the same scene has different representations in different altitudes, we employ a deep convolutional neural network(CNN) based on knowledge transfer and fine-tuning to solve the problem. Then, LandingScenes-7 dataset is established and divided into seven classes. Moreover, there is still a novelty detection problem in the classifier, and we address this by excluding other landing scenes using the approach of thresholding in the prediction stage. We employ the transfer learning method based on ResNeXt-50 backbone with the adaptive momentum(ADAM) optimization algorithm. We also compare ResNet-50 backbone and the momentum stochastic gradient descent(SGD) optimizer. Experiment results show that ResNeXt-50 based on the ADAM optimization algorithm has better performance. With a pre-trained model and fine-tuning, it can achieve 97.845 0% top-1 accuracy on the LandingScenes-7dataset, paving the way for drones to autonomously learn landing scenes.

Traffic Scene Captioning with Multi-Stage Feature Enhancement

Traffic scene captioning technology automatically generates one or more sentences to describe the content of traffic scenes by analyzing the content of the input traffic scene images,ensuring road safety while providing an important decision-making function for sustainable transportation.In order to provide a comprehensive and reasonable description of complex traffic scenes,a traffic scene semantic captioningmodel withmulti-stage feature enhancement is proposed in this paper.In general,the model follows an encoder-decoder structure.First,multilevel granularity visual features are used for feature enhancement during the encoding process,which enables the model to learn more detailed content in the traffic scene image.Second,the scene knowledge graph is applied to the decoding process,and the semantic features provided by the scene knowledge graph are used to enhance the features learned by the decoder again,so that themodel can learn the attributes of objects in the traffic scene and the relationships between objects to generate more reasonable captions.This paper reports extensive experiments on the challenging MS-COCO dataset,evaluated by five standard automatic evaluation metrics,and the results show that the proposed model has improved significantly in all metrics compared with the state-of-the-art methods,especially achieving a score of 129.0 on the CIDEr-D evaluation metric,which also indicates that the proposed model can effectively provide a more reasonable and comprehensive description of the traffic scene.

Object detection in crowded scenes via joint prediction

Detecting highly-overlapped objects in crowded scenes remains a challenging problem,especially for one-stage detector.In this paper,we extricate YOLOv4 from the dilemma in a crowd by fine-tuning its detection scheme,named YOLO-CS.Specifically,we give YOLOv4 the power to detect multiple objects in one cell.Center to our method is the carefully designed joint prediction scheme,which is executed through an assignment of bounding boxes and a joint loss.Equipped with the derived joint-object augmentation(DJA),refined regression loss(RL)and Score-NMS(SN),YOLO-CS achieves competitive detection performance on CrowdHuman and CityPersons benchmarks compared with state-of-the-art detectors at the cost of little time.Furthermore,on the widely used general benchmark COCO,YOLOCS still has a good performance,indicating its robustness to various scenes.

A Lightweight Road Scene Semantic Segmentation Algorithm

In recent years,with the continuous deepening of smart city construction,there have been significant changes and improvements in the field of intelligent transportation.The semantic segmentation of road scenes has important practical significance in the fields of automatic driving,transportation planning,and intelligent transportation systems.However,the current mainstream lightweight semantic segmentation models in road scene segmentation face problems such as poor segmentation performance of small targets and insufficient refinement of segmentation edges.Therefore,this article proposes a lightweight semantic segmentation model based on the LiteSeg model improvement to address these issues.The model uses the lightweight backbone network MobileNet instead of the LiteSeg backbone network to reduce the network parameters and computation,and combines the Coordinate Attention(CA)mechanism to help the network capture long-distance dependencies.At the same time,by combining the dependencies of spatial information and channel information,the Spatial and Channel Network(SCNet)attention mechanism is proposed to improve the feature extraction ability of the model.Finally,a multiscale transposed attention encoding(MTAE)module was proposed to obtain features of different resolutions and perform feature fusion.In this paper,the proposed model is verified on the Cityscapes dataset.The experimental results show that the addition of SCNet and MTAE modules increases the mean Intersection over Union(mIoU)of the original LiteSeg model by 4.69%.On this basis,the backbone network is replaced with MobileNet,and the CA model is added at the same time.At the cost of increasing the minimum model parameters and computing costs,the mIoU of the original LiteSeg model is increased by 2.46%.This article also compares the proposed model with some current lightweight semantic segmentation models,and experiments show that the comprehensive performance of the proposed model is the best,especially in achieving excellent results in small object segmentation.Finally,this article will conduct generalization testing on the KITTI dataset for the proposed model,and the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a certain degree of generalization.

Exploiting Human Pose and Scene Information for Interaction Detection

Identifying human actions and interactions finds its use in manyareas, such as security, surveillance, assisted living, patient monitoring, rehabilitation,sports, and e-learning. This wide range of applications has attractedmany researchers to this field. Inspired by the existing recognition systems,this paper proposes a new and efficient human-object interaction recognition(HOIR) model which is based on modeling human pose and scene featureinformation. There are different aspects involved in an interaction, includingthe humans, the objects, the various body parts of the human, and the backgroundscene. Themain objectives of this research include critically examiningthe importance of all these elements in determining the interaction, estimatinghuman pose through image foresting transform (IFT), and detecting the performedinteractions based on an optimizedmulti-feature vector. The proposedmethodology has six main phases. The first phase involves preprocessing theimages. During preprocessing stages, the videos are converted into imageframes. Then their contrast is adjusted, and noise is removed. In the secondphase, the human-object pair is detected and extracted from each image frame.The third phase involves the identification of key body parts of the detectedhumans using IFT. The fourth phase relates to three different kinds of featureextraction techniques. Then these features are combined and optimized duringthe fifth phase. The optimized vector is used to classify the interactions in thelast phase. TheMSRDaily Activity 3D dataset has been used to test this modeland to prove its efficiency. The proposed system obtains an average accuracyof 91.7% on this dataset.

Scene image recognition with knowledge transfer for drone navigation

In this paper,we study scene image recognition with knowledge transfer for drone navigation.We divide navigation scenes into three macro-classes,namely outdoor special scenes(OSSs),the space from indoors to outdoors or from outdoors to indoors transitional scenes(TSs),and others.However,there are difficulties in how to recognize the TSs,to this end,we employ deep convolutional neural network(CNN)based on knowledge transfer,techniques for image augmentation,and fine tuning to solve the issue.Moreover,there is still a novelty detection prob-lem in the classifier,and we use global navigation satellite sys-tems(GNSS)to solve it in the prediction stage.Experiment results show our method,with a pre-trained model and fine tun-ing,can achieve 91.3196%top-1 accuracy on Scenes21 dataset,paving the way for drones to learn to understand the scenes around them autonomously.

Multi-Modal Scene Matching Location Algorithm Based on M2Det

In recent years,many visual positioning algorithms have been proposed based on computer vision and they have achieved good results.However,these algorithms have a single function,cannot perceive the environment,and have poor versatility,and there is a certain mismatch phenomenon,which affects the positioning accuracy.Therefore,this paper proposes a location algorithm that combines a target recognition algorithm with a depth feature matching algorithm to solve the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)environment perception and multi-modal image-matching fusion location.This algorithm was based on the single-shot object detector based on multi-level feature pyramid network(M2Det)algorithm and replaced the original visual geometry group(VGG)feature extraction network with the ResNet-101 network to improve the feature extraction capability of the network model.By introducing a depth feature matching algorithm,the algorithm shares neural network weights and realizes the design of UAV target recognition and a multi-modal image-matching fusion positioning algorithm.When the reference image and the real-time image were mismatched,the dynamic adaptive proportional constraint and the random sample consensus consistency algorithm(DAPC-RANSAC)were used to optimize the matching results to improve the correct matching efficiency of the target.Using the multi-modal registration data set,the proposed algorithm was compared and analyzed to verify its superiority and feasibility.The results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively deal with the matching between multi-modal images(visible image–infrared image,infrared image–satellite image,visible image–satellite image),and the contrast,scale,brightness,ambiguity deformation,and other changes had good stability and robustness.Finally,the effectiveness and practicability of the algorithm proposed in this paper were verified in an aerial test scene of an S1000 sixrotor UAV.

Robust Counting in Overcrowded Scenes Using Batch-Free Normalized Deep ConvNet

The analysis of overcrowded areas is essential for flow monitoring,assembly control,and security.Crowd counting’s primary goal is to calculate the population in a given region,which requires real-time analysis of congested scenes for prompt reactionary actions.The crowd is always unexpected,and the benchmarked available datasets have a lot of variation,which limits the trained models’performance on unseen test data.In this paper,we proposed an end-to-end deep neural network that takes an input image and generates a density map of a crowd scene.The proposed model consists of encoder and decoder networks comprising batch-free normalization layers known as evolving normalization(EvoNorm).This allows our network to be generalized for unseen data because EvoNorm is not using statistics from the training samples.The decoder network uses dilated 2D convolutional layers to provide large receptive fields and fewer parameters,which enables real-time processing and solves the density drift problem due to its large receptive field.Five benchmark datasets are used in this study to assess the proposed model,resulting in the conclusion that it outperforms conventional models.

Weather is a key factor affecting the control of air traffic.Accurate recognition and classification of similar weather scenes in the terminal area is helpful for rapid decision-making in air trafficflow management.Current researches mostly use traditional machine learning methods to extract features of weather scenes,and clustering algorithms to divide similar scenes.Inspired by the excellent performance of deep learning in image recognition,this paper proposes a terminal area similar weather scene classification method based on improved deep convolution embedded clustering(IDCEC),which uses the com-bination of the encoding layer and the decoding layer to reduce the dimensionality of the weather image,retaining useful information to the greatest extent,and then uses the combination of the pre-trained encoding layer and the clustering layer to train the clustering model of the similar scenes in the terminal area.Finally,term-inal area of Guangzhou Airport is selected as the research object,the method pro-posed in this article is used to classify historical weather data in similar scenes,and the performance is compared with other state-of-the-art methods.The experi-mental results show that the proposed IDCEC method can identify similar scenes more accurately based on the spatial distribution characteristics and severity of weather;at the same time,compared with the actualflight volume in the Guangz-hou terminal area,IDCEC's recognition results of similar weather scenes are con-sistent with the recognition of experts in thefield.

Improving Video Watermarking through Galois Field GF(2^(4)) Multiplication Tables with Diverse Irreducible Polynomials and Adaptive Techniques

Video watermarking plays a crucial role in protecting intellectual property rights and ensuring content authenticity.This study delves into the integration of Galois Field(GF)multiplication tables,especially GF(2^(4)),and their interaction with distinct irreducible polynomials.The primary aim is to enhance watermarking techniques for achieving imperceptibility,robustness,and efficient execution time.The research employs scene selection and adaptive thresholding techniques to streamline the watermarking process.Scene selection is used strategically to embed watermarks in the most vital frames of the video,while adaptive thresholding methods ensure that the watermarking process adheres to imperceptibility criteria,maintaining the video's visual quality.Concurrently,careful consideration is given to execution time,crucial in real-world scenarios,to balance efficiency and efficacy.The Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR)serves as a pivotal metric to gauge the watermark's imperceptibility and video quality.The study explores various irreducible polynomials,navigating the trade-offs between computational efficiency and watermark imperceptibility.In parallel,the study pays careful attention to the execution time,a paramount consideration in real-world scenarios,to strike a balance between efficiency and efficacy.This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the interplay of GF multiplication tables,diverse irreducible polynomials,scene selection,adaptive thresholding,imperceptibility,and execution time.The evaluation of the proposed algorithm's robustness was conducted using PSNR and NC metrics,and it was subjected to assessment under the impact of five distinct attack scenarios.These findings contribute to the development of watermarking strategies that balance imperceptibility,robustness,and processing efficiency,enhancing the field's practicality and effectiveness.
