A Lightweight Convolutional Neural Network with Hierarchical Multi-Scale Feature Fusion for Image Classification

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used in image classification tasks, but their increasing model size and computation make them challenging to implement on embedded systems with constrained hardware resources. To address this issue, the MobileNetV1 network was developed, which employs depthwise convolution to reduce network complexity. MobileNetV1 employs a stride of 2 in several convolutional layers to decrease the spatial resolution of feature maps, thereby lowering computational costs. However, this stride setting can lead to a loss of spatial information, particularly affecting the detection and representation of smaller objects or finer details in images. To maintain the trade-off between complexity and model performance, a lightweight convolutional neural network with hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion based on the MobileNetV1 network is proposed. The network consists of two main subnetworks. The first subnetwork uses a depthwise dilated separable convolution (DDSC) layer to learn imaging features with fewer parameters, which results in a lightweight and computationally inexpensive network. Furthermore, depthwise dilated convolution in DDSC layer effectively expands the field of view of filters, allowing them to incorporate a larger context. The second subnetwork is a hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion (HMFF) module that uses parallel multi-resolution branches architecture to process the input feature map in order to extract the multi-scale feature information of the input image. Experimental results on the CIFAR-10, Malaria, and KvasirV1 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient, reducing the network parameters and computational cost by 65.02% and 39.78%, respectively, while maintaining the network performance compared to the MobileNetV1 baseline.

Attention Guided Multi Scale Feature Fusion Network for Automatic Prostate Segmentation

The precise and automatic segmentation of prostate magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)images is vital for assisting doctors in diagnosing prostate diseases.In recent years,many advanced methods have been applied to prostate segmentation,but due to the variability caused by prostate diseases,automatic segmentation of the prostate presents significant challenges.In this paper,we propose an attention-guided multi-scale feature fusion network(AGMSF-Net)to segment prostate MRI images.We propose an attention mechanism for extracting multi-scale features,and introduce a 3D transformer module to enhance global feature representation by adding it during the transition phase from encoder to decoder.In the decoder stage,a feature fusion module is proposed to obtain global context information.We evaluate our model on MRI images of the prostate acquired from a local hospital.The relative volume difference(RVD)and dice similarity coefficient(DSC)between the results of automatic prostate segmentation and ground truth were 1.21%and 93.68%,respectively.To quantitatively evaluate prostate volume on MRI,which is of significant clinical significance,we propose a unique AGMSF-Net.The essential performance evaluation and validation experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of our method in automatic prostate segmentation.

FusionNN:A Semantic Feature Fusion Model Based on Multimodal for Web Anomaly Detection

With the rapid development of the mobile communication and the Internet,the previous web anomaly detectionand identificationmodels were built relying on security experts’empirical knowledge and attack features.Althoughthis approach can achieve higher detection performance,it requires huge human labor and resources to maintainthe feature library.In contrast,semantic feature engineering can dynamically discover new semantic featuresand optimize feature selection by automatically analyzing the semantic information contained in the data itself,thus reducing dependence on prior knowledge.However,current semantic features still have the problem ofsemantic expression singularity,as they are extracted from a single semantic mode such as word segmentation,character segmentation,or arbitrary semantic feature extraction.This paper extracts features of web requestsfrom dual semantic granularity,and proposes a semantic feature fusion method to solve the above problems.Themethod first preprocesses web requests,and extracts word-level and character-level semantic features of URLs viaconvolutional neural network(CNN),respectively.By constructing three loss functions to reduce losses betweenfeatures,labels and categories.Experiments on the HTTP CSIC 2010,Malicious URLs and HttpParams datasetsverify the proposedmethod.Results show that compared withmachine learning,deep learningmethods and BERTmodel,the proposed method has better detection performance.And it achieved the best detection rate of 99.16%in the dataset HttpParams.

Ship recognition based on HRRP via multi-scale sparse preserving method

In order to extract the richer feature information of ship targets from sea clutter, and address the high dimensional data problem, a method termed as multi-scale fusion kernel sparse preserving projection(MSFKSPP) based on the maximum margin criterion(MMC) is proposed for recognizing the class of ship targets utilizing the high-resolution range profile(HRRP). Multi-scale fusion is introduced to capture the local and detailed information in small-scale features, and the global and contour information in large-scale features, offering help to extract the edge information from sea clutter and further improving the target recognition accuracy. The proposed method can maximally preserve the multi-scale fusion sparse of data and maximize the class separability in the reduced dimensionality by reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Experimental results on the measured radar data show that the proposed method can effectively extract the features of ship target from sea clutter, further reduce the feature dimensionality, and improve target recognition performance.

Grasp Detection with Hierarchical Multi-Scale Feature Fusion and Inverted Shuffle Residual

Grasp detection plays a critical role for robot manipulation.Mainstream pixel-wise grasp detection networks with encoder-decoder structure receive much attention due to good accuracy and efficiency.However,they usually transmit the high-level feature in the encoder to the decoder,and low-level features are neglected.It is noted that low-level features contain abundant detail information,and how to fully exploit low-level features remains unsolved.Meanwhile,the channel information in high-level feature is also not well mined.Inevitably,the performance of grasp detection is degraded.To solve these problems,we propose a grasp detection network with hierarchical multi-scale feature fusion and inverted shuffle residual.Both low-level and high-level features in the encoder are firstly fused by the designed skip connections with attention module,and the fused information is then propagated to corresponding layers of the decoder for in-depth feature fusion.Such a hierarchical fusion guarantees the quality of grasp prediction.Furthermore,an inverted shuffle residual module is created,where the high-level feature from encoder is split in channel and the resultant split features are processed in their respective branches.By such differentiation processing,more high-dimensional channel information is kept,which enhances the representation ability of the network.Besides,an information enhancement module is added before the encoder to reinforce input information.The proposed method attains 98.9%and 97.8%in image-wise and object-wise accuracy on the Cornell grasping dataset,respectively,and the experimental results verify the effectiveness of the method.

Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Model for Bridge Appearance Defect Detection

Although the Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network(Faster R-CNN)model has obvious advantages in defect recognition,it still cannot overcome challenging problems,such as time-consuming,small targets,irregular shapes,and strong noise interference in bridge defect detection.To deal with these issues,this paper proposes a novel Multi-scale Feature Fusion(MFF)model for bridge appearance disease detection.First,the Faster R-CNN model adopts Region Of Interest(ROl)pooling,which omits the edge information of the target area,resulting in some missed detections and inaccuracies in both detecting and localizing bridge defects.Therefore,this paper proposes an MFF based on regional feature Aggregation(MFF-A),which reduces the missed detection rate of bridge defect detection and improves the positioning accuracy of the target area.Second,the Faster R-CNN model is insensitive to small targets,irregular shapes,and strong noises in bridge defect detection,which results in a long training time and low recognition accuracy.Accordingly,a novel Lightweight MFF(namely MFF-L)model for bridge appearance defect detection using a lightweight network EfficientNetV2 and a feature pyramid network is proposed,which fuses multi-scale features to shorten the training speed and improve recognition accuracy.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated on the bridge disease dataset and public computational fluid dynamic dataset.

RGB and LBP-texture deep nonlinearly fusion features for fabric retrieval

Fabric retrieval is very challenging since problems like viewpoint variations,illumination changes,blots,and poor image qualities are usually encountered in fabric images.In this work,a novel deep feature nonlinear fusion network(DFNFN)is proposed to nonlinearly fuse features learned from RGB and texture images for improving fabric retrieval.Texture images are obtained by using local binary pattern texture(LBP-Texture)features to describe RGB fabric images.The DFNFN firstly applies two feature learning branches to deal with RGB images and the corresponding LBP-Texture images simultaneously.Each branch contains the same convolutional neural network(CNN)architecture but independently learning parameters.Then,a nonlinear fusion module(NFM)is designed to concatenate the features produced by the two branches and nonlinearly fuse the concatenated features via a convolutional layer followed with a rectified linear unit(ReLU).The NFM is flexible since it can be embedded in different depths of the DFNFN to find the best fusion position.Consequently,DFNFN can optimally fuse features learned from RGB and LBP-Texture images to boost the retrieval accuracy.Extensive experiments on the Fabric 1.0 dataset show that the proposed method is superior to many state-of-the-art methods.
