Multi-Layer Feature Extraction with Deformable Convolution for Fabric Defect Detection

In the textile industry,the presence of defects on the surface of fabric is an essential factor in determining fabric quality.Therefore,identifying fabric defects forms a crucial part of the fabric production process.Traditional fabric defect detection algorithms can only detect specific materials and specific fabric defect types;in addition,their detection efficiency is low,and their detection results are relatively poor.Deep learning-based methods have many advantages in the field of fabric defect detection,however,such methods are less effective in identifying multiscale fabric defects and defects with complex shapes.Therefore,we propose an effective algorithm,namely multilayer feature extraction combined with deformable convolution(MFDC),for fabric defect detection.In MFDC,multi-layer feature extraction is used to fuse the underlying location features with high-level classification features through a horizontally connected top-down architecture to improve the detection of multi-scale fabric defects.On this basis,a deformable convolution is added to solve the problem of the algorithm’s weak detection ability of irregularly shaped fabric defects.In this approach,Roi Align and Cascade-RCNN are integrated to enhance the adaptability of the algorithm in materials with complex patterned backgrounds.The experimental results show that the MFDC algorithm can achieve good detection results for both multi-scale fabric defects and defects with complex shapes,at the expense of a small increase in detection time.

Detection Algorithm of Laboratory Personnel Irregularities Based on Improved YOLOv7

Due to the complex environment of the university laboratory,personnel flow intensive,personnel irregular behavior is easy to cause security risks.Monitoring using mainstream detection algorithms suffers from low detection accuracy and slow speed.Therefore,the current management of personnel behavior mainly relies on institutional constraints,education and training,on-site supervision,etc.,which is time-consuming and ineffective.Given the above situation,this paper proposes an improved You Only Look Once version 7(YOLOv7)to achieve the purpose of quickly detecting irregular behaviors of laboratory personnel while ensuring high detection accuracy.First,to better capture the shape features of the target,deformable convolutional networks(DCN)is used in the backbone part of the model to replace the traditional convolution to improve the detection accuracy and speed.Second,to enhance the extraction of important features and suppress useless features,this paper proposes a new convolutional block attention module_efficient channel attention(CBAM_E)for embedding the neck network to improve the model’s ability to extract features from complex scenes.Finally,to reduce the influence of angle factor and bounding box regression accuracy,this paper proposes a newα-SCYLLA intersection over union(α-SIoU)instead of the complete intersection over union(CIoU),which improves the regression accuracy while increasing the convergence speed.Comparison experiments on public and homemade datasets show that the improved algorithm outperforms the original algorithm in all evaluation indexes,with an increase of 2.92%in the precision rate,4.14%in the recall rate,0.0356 in the weighted harmonic mean,3.60%in the mAP@0.5 value,and a reduction in the number of parameters and complexity.Compared with the mainstream algorithm,the improved algorithm has higher detection accuracy,faster convergence speed,and better actual recognition effect,indicating the effectiveness of the improved algorithm in this paper and its potential for practical application in laboratory scenarios.

Pre-training transformer with dual-branch context content module for table detection in document images

Background Document images such as statistical reports and scientific journals are widely used in information technology.Accurate detection of table areas in document images is an essential prerequisite for tasks such as information extraction.However,because of the diversity in the shapes and sizes of tables,existing table detection methods adapted from general object detection algorithms,have not yet achieved satisfactory results.Incorrect detection results might lead to the loss of critical information.Methods Therefore,we propose a novel end-to-end trainable deep network combined with a self-supervised pretraining transformer for feature extraction to minimize incorrect detections.To better deal with table areas of different shapes and sizes,we added a dualbranch context content attention module(DCCAM)to high-dimensional features to extract context content information,thereby enhancing the network's ability to learn shape features.For feature fusion at different scales,we replaced the original 3×3 convolution with a multilayer residual module,which contains enhanced gradient flow information to improve the feature representation and extraction capability.Results We evaluated our method on public document datasets and compared it with previous methods,which achieved state-of-the-art results in terms of evaluation metrics such as recall and F1-score.https://github.com/Yong Z-Lee/TD-DCCAM.

A Remote Sensing Image Semantic Segmentation Method by Combining Deformable Convolution with Conditional Random Fields

Currently,deep convolutional neural networks have made great progress in the field of semantic segmentation.Because of the fixed convolution kernel geometry,standard convolution neural networks have been limited the ability to simulate geometric transformations.Therefore,a deformable convolution is introduced to enhance the adaptability of convolutional networks to spatial transformation.Considering that the deep convolutional neural networks cannot adequately segment the local objects at the output layer due to using the pooling layers in neural network architecture.To overcome this shortcoming,the rough prediction segmentation results of the neural network output layer will be processed by fully connected conditional random fields to improve the ability of image segmentation.The proposed method can easily be trained by end-to-end using standard backpropagation algorithms.Finally,the proposed method is tested on the ISPRS dataset.The results show that the proposed method can effectively overcome the influence of the complex structure of the segmentation object and obtain state-of-the-art accuracy on the ISPRS Vaihingen 2D semantic labeling dataset.

HSCA-Net: A Hybrid Spatial-Channel Attention Network in Multiscale Feature Pyramid for Document Layout Analysis

Document images often contain various page components and complex logical structures,which make document layout analysis task challenging.For most deep learning-based document layout analysis methods,convolutional neural networks(CNNs)are adopted as the feature extraction networks.In this paper,a hybrid spatial-channel attention network(HSCA-Net)is proposed to improve feature extraction capability by introducing attention mechanism to explore more salient properties within document pages.The HSCA-Net consists of spatial attention module(SAM),channel attention module(CAM),and designed lateral attention connection.CAM adaptively adjusts channel feature responses by emphasizing selective information,which depends on the contribution of the features of each channel.SAM guides CNNs to focus on the informative contents and capture global context information among page objects.The lateral attention connection incorporates SAM and CAM into multiscale feature pyramid network,and thus retains original feature information.The effectiveness and adaptability of HSCA-Net are evaluated through multiple experiments on publicly available datasets such as PubLayNet,ICDAR-POD,and Article Regions.Experimental results demonstrate that HSCA-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance on document layout analysis task.

Retinal vessel segmentation in fundus images plays an essential role in the screening,diagnosis,and treatment of many diseases.The acquired fundus images generally have the following problems:uneven illumination,high noise,and complex structure.It makes vessel segmentation very challenging.Previous methods of retinal vascular segmentation mainly use convolutional neural networks on U Network(U-Net)models,and they have many limitations and shortcomings,such as the loss of microvascular details at the end of the vessels.We address the limitations of convolution by introducing the transformer into retinal vessel segmentation.Therefore,we propose a hybrid method for retinal vessel segmentation based on modulated deformable convolution and the transformer,named DT-Net.Firstly,multi-scale image features are extracted by deformable convolution and multi-head selfattention(MHSA).Secondly,image information is recovered,and vessel morphology is refined by the proposed transformer decoder block.Finally,the local prediction results are obtained by the side output layer.The accuracy of the vessel segmentation is improved by the hybrid loss function.Experimental results show that our method obtains good segmentation performance on Specificity(SP),Sensitivity(SE),Accuracy(ACC),Curve(AUC),and F1-score on three publicly available fundus datasets such as DRIVE,STARE,and CHASE_DB1.

Space-time video super-resolution using long-term temporal feature aggregation

Space-time video super-resolution(STVSR)serves the purpose to reconstruct high-resolution high-frame-rate videos from their low-resolution low-frame-rate counterparts.Recent approaches utilize end-to-end deep learning models to achieve STVSR.They first interpolate intermediate frame features between given frames,then perform local and global refinement among the feature sequence,and finally increase the spatial resolutions of these features.However,in the most important feature interpolation phase,they only capture spatial-temporal information from the most adjacent frame features,ignoring modelling long-term spatial-temporal correlations between multiple neighbouring frames to restore variable-speed object movements and maintain long-term motion continuity.In this paper,we propose a novel long-term temporal feature aggregation network(LTFA-Net)for STVSR.Specifically,we design a long-term mixture of experts(LTMoE)module for feature interpolation.LTMoE contains multiple experts to extract mutual and complementary spatial-temporal information from multiple consecutive adjacent frame features,which are then combined with different weights to obtain interpolation results using several gating nets.Next,we perform local and global feature refinement using the Locally-temporal Feature Comparison(LFC)module and bidirectional deformable ConvLSTM layer,respectively.Experimental results on two standard benchmarks,Adobe240 and GoPro,indicate the effectiveness and superiority of our approach over state of the art.
