Indeed, effective segmentation requires considering spatial local context and long-term dependencies. To address this problem, the proposed approach is inspired by the MAC-UNet network which is an extension of U-Net, densely connected combined with channel attention. The advantages of this solution are as follows: 4) The new model introduces a new attention called propagate attention to build an attention-based encoder. 2) The fusion of multi-scale information is achieved by a weighted linear combination of the attentions whose coefficients are learned during the training phase. 3) Introducing in the decoder, the Spatial-Channel-Global-Local block which is an attention layer that uniquely combines channel attention and spatial attention locally and globally. The performances of the model are evaluated on 2 datasets WHDLD and DLRSD and show results of mean intersection over union (mIoU) index in progress between 1.54% and 10.47% for DLRSD and between 1.04% and 4.37% for WHDLD compared with the most efficient algorithms with attention mechanisms like MAU-Net and transformers like TMNet.展开更多

In PCNet, the U-Net is used as a baseline to extract informative spatial and channel-wise features from shield tunnel lining crack images. A channel and a position attention module are designed and embedded after each convolution layer of U-Net to model the feature interdependencies in channel and spatial dimensions. These attention modules can make the U-Net adaptively integrate local crack features with their global dependencies. Experiments were conducted utilizing the dataset based on the images from Shanghai metro shield tunnels. The results validate the effectiveness of the designed channel and position attention modules, since they can individually increase balanced accuracy (BA) by 11.25% and 12.95%, intersection over union (IoU) by 10.79% and 11.83%, and F1 score by 9.96% and 10.63%, respectively. In comparison with the state-of-the-art models (i.e. LinkNet, PSPNet, U-Net, PANet, and Mask R–CNN) on the testing dataset, the proposed PCNet outperforms others with an improvement of BA, IoU, and F1 score owing to the implementation of the channel and position attention modules. These evaluation metrics indicate that the proposed PCNet presents refined crack segmentation with improved performance and is a practicable approach to segment shield tunnel lining cracks in field practice.展开更多

In this paper, a novel hybrid attention-based few-shot learning method, named Attention-Based Prototypical Network, is proposed for forest fire smoke detection. Specifically, feature extraction network, which consists of convolutional block attention module, could extract high-level and discriminative features and further decrease the false alarm rate resulting from suspected smoke areas. Moreover, we design a metalearning module to alleviate the overfitting issue caused by limited smoke images, and the meta-learning network enables achieving effective detection via comparing the distance between the class prototype of support images and the features of query images. A series of experiments on forest fire smoke datasets and miniImageNet dataset testify that the proposed method is superior to state-of-the-art few-shot learning approaches.展开更多

However, it may also be used for malicious operations,such as destroying evidence. Therefore, detection and localization of imageinpainting operations are essential. Recent research shows that high-pass filteringfull convolutional network (HPFCN) is applied to image inpainting detection andachieves good results. However, those methods did not consider the spatial location and channel information of the feature map. To solve these shortcomings, weintroduce the squeezed excitation blocks (SE) and propose a high-pass filter attention full convolutional network (HPACN). In feature extraction, we apply concurrent spatial and channel attention (scSE) to enhance feature extraction and obtainmore information. Channel attention (cSE) is introduced in upsampling toenhance detection and localization. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve improvement on ImageNet.展开更多

文摘In many existing multi-view gait recognition methods based on images or video sequences,gait sequences are usually used to superimpose and synthesize images and construct energy-like template.However,information may be lost during the process of compositing image and capture EMG signals.Errors and the recognition accuracy may be introduced and affected respectively by some factors such as period detection.To better solve the problems,a multi-view gait recognition method using deep convolutional neural network and channel attention mechanism is proposed.Firstly,the sliding time window method is used to capture EMG signals.Then,the back-propagation learning algorithm is used to train each layer of convolution,which improves the learning ability of the convolutional neural network.Finally,the channel attention mechanism is integrated into the neural network,which will improve the ability of expressing gait features.And a classifier is used to classify gait.As can be shown from experimental results on two public datasets,OULP and CASIA-B,the recognition rate of the proposed method can be achieved at 88.44%and 97.25%respectively.As can be shown from the comparative experimental results,the proposed method has better recognition effect than several other newer convolutional neural network methods.Therefore,the combination of convolutional neural network and channel attention mechanism is of great value for gait recognition.

文摘Floating wastes in rivers have specific characteristics such as small scale,low pixel density and complex backgrounds.These characteristics make it prone to false and missed detection during image analysis,thus resulting in a degradation of detection performance.In order to tackle these challenges,a floating waste detection algorithm based on YOLOv7 is proposed,which combines the improved GFPN(Generalized Feature Pyramid Network)and a long-range attention mechanism.Firstly,we import the improved GFPN to replace the Neck of YOLOv7,thus providing more effective information transmission that can scale into deeper networks.Secondly,the convolution-based and hardware-friendly long-range attention mechanism is introduced,allowing the algorithm to rapidly generate an attention map with a global receptive field.Finally,the algorithm adopts the WiseIoU optimization loss function to achieve adaptive gradient gain allocation and alleviate the negative impact of low-quality samples on the gradient.The simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm has achieved a favorable average accuracy of 86.3%in real-time scene detection tasks.This marks a significant enhancement of approximately 6.3%compared with the baseline,indicating the algorithm's good performance in floating waste detection.

文摘Convolutional neural networks(CNNs) have shown great potential for image super-resolution(SR).However,most existing CNNs only reconstruct images in the spatial domain,resulting in insufficient high-frequency details of reconstructed images.To address this issue,a channel attention based wavelet cascaded network for image super-resolution(CWSR) is proposed.Specifically,a second-order channel attention(SOCA) mechanism is incorporated into the network,and the covariance matrix normalization is utilized to explore interdependencies between channel-wise features.Then,to boost the quality of residual features,the non-local module is adopted to further improve the global information integration ability of the network.Finally,taking the image loss in the spatial and wavelet domains into account,a dual-constrained loss function is proposed to optimize the network.Experimental results illustrate that CWSR outperforms several state-of-the-art methods in terms of both visual quality and quantitative metrics.

文摘Existing almost deep learning methods rely on a large amount of annotated data, so they are inappropriate for forest fire smoke detection with limited data. In this paper, a novel hybrid attention-based few-shot learning method, named Attention-Based Prototypical Network, is proposed for forest fire smoke detection. Specifically, feature extraction network, which consists of convolutional block attention module, could extract high-level and discriminative features and further decrease the false alarm rate resulting from suspected smoke areas. Moreover, we design a metalearning module to alleviate the overfitting issue caused by limited smoke images, and the meta-learning network enables achieving effective detection via comparing the distance between the class prototype of support images and the features of query images. A series of experiments on forest fire smoke datasets and miniImageNet dataset testify that the proposed method is superior to state-of-the-art few-shot learning approaches.

文摘It is known that ion channel can effectively limit the radial expansion of an artificial electron beam during its longrange propagation in the space plasma environment.Most prior studies discussed the focusing characteristics of the beam in the ion channel,but the establishment process and transient properties of the ion channel itself,which also plays a crucial role during the propagation of the relativistic electron beam in the plasma environment,were commonly neglected.In this study,a series of two-dimensional(2D)particle-in-cell simulations is performed and an analytical model of ion channel oscillation is constructed according to the single-particle motion.The results showed that when the beam density is higher than the density of plasma environment,ion channel can be established and always continues to oscillate periodically over the entire propagation.Multiple factors,including the beam electron density,initial beam radius,and the plasma density can affect the oscillation properties of ion channel.Axial velocity of the beam oscillates synchronously with the ion channel and this phenomenon will finally develop into a two-stream instability which can seriously affect the effective transport for relativistic electron beam.Choosing appropriate beam parameters based on various plasma environments may contribute to the improvement of the stability of ion channel.Additionally,radial expansion of the beam can be limited by ion channel and a stable long-range propagation in terrestrial atmosphere may be achieved.

文摘Recent applications of convolutional neural networks(CNNs)in single image super-resolution(SISR)have achieved unprecedented performance.However,existing CNN-based SISR network structure design consider mostly only channel or spatial information,and cannot make full use of both channel and spatial information to improve SISR performance further.The present work addresses this problem by proposing a mixed attention densely residual network architecture that can make full and simultaneous use of both channel and spatial information.Specifically,we propose a residual in dense network structure composed of dense connections between multiple dense residual groups to form a very deep network.This structure allows each dense residual group to apply a local residual skip connection and enables the cascading of multiple residual blocks to reuse previous features.A mixed attention module is inserted into each dense residual group,to enable the algorithm to fuse channel attention with laplacian spatial attention effectively,and thereby more adaptively focus on valuable feature learning.The qualitative and quantitative results of extensive experiments have demonstrate that the proposed method has a comparable performance with other stateof-the-art methods.

文摘Image inpainting based on deep learning has been greatly improved.The original purpose of image inpainting was to repair some broken photos, suchas inpainting artifacts. However, it may also be used for malicious operations,such as destroying evidence. Therefore, detection and localization of imageinpainting operations are essential. Recent research shows that high-pass filteringfull convolutional network (HPFCN) is applied to image inpainting detection andachieves good results. However, those methods did not consider the spatial location and channel information of the feature map. To solve these shortcomings, weintroduce the squeezed excitation blocks (SE) and propose a high-pass filter attention full convolutional network (HPACN). In feature extraction, we apply concurrent spatial and channel attention (scSE) to enhance feature extraction and obtainmore information. Channel attention (cSE) is introduced in upsampling toenhance detection and localization. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve improvement on ImageNet.
