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.

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.

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.

Research on neural radiance fields for novel view synthesis has experienced explosive growth with the development of new models and extensions.The NeRF(Neural Radiance Fields)algorithm,suitable for underwater scenes or scattering media,is also evolving.Existing underwater 3D reconstruction systems still face challenges such as long training times and low rendering efficiency.This paper proposes an improved underwater 3D reconstruction system to achieve rapid and high-quality 3D reconstruction.First,we enhance underwater videos captured by a monocular camera to correct the image quality degradation caused by the physical properties of the water medium and ensure consistency in enhancement across frames.Then,we perform keyframe selection to optimize resource usage and reduce the impact of dynamic objects on the reconstruction results.After pose estimation using COLMAP,the selected keyframes undergo 3D reconstruction using neural radiance fields(NeRF)based on multi-resolution hash encoding for model construction and rendering.In terms of image enhancement,our method has been optimized in certain scenarios,demonstrating effectiveness in image enhancement and better continuity between consecutive frames of the same data.In terms of 3D reconstruction,our method achieved a peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)of 18.40 dB and a structural similarity(SSIM)of 0.6677,indicating a good balance between operational efficiency and reconstruction quality.

Scene text detection is an important task in computer vision.In this paper,we present YOLOv5 Scene Text(YOLOv5ST),an optimized architecture based on YOLOv5 v6.0 tailored for fast scene text detection.Our primary goal is to enhance inference speed without sacrificing significant detection accuracy,thereby enabling robust performance on resource-constrained devices like drones,closed-circuit television cameras,and other embedded systems.To achieve this,we propose key modifications to the network architecture to lighten the original backbone and improve feature aggregation,including replacing standard convolution with depth-wise convolution,adopting the C2 sequence module in place of C3,employing Spatial Pyramid Pooling Global(SPPG)instead of Spatial Pyramid Pooling Fast(SPPF)and integrating Bi-directional Feature Pyramid Network(BiFPN)into the neck.Experimental results demonstrate a remarkable 26%improvement in inference speed compared to the baseline,with only marginal reductions of 1.6%and 4.2%in mean average precision(mAP)at the intersection over union(IoU)thresholds of 0.5 and 0.5:0.95,respectively.Our work represents a significant advancement in scene text detection,striking a balance between speed and accuracy,making it well-suited for performance-constrained environments.

The proposed robust reversible watermarking algorithm addresses the compatibility challenges between robustness and reversibility in existing video watermarking techniques by leveraging scene smoothness for frame grouping videos.Grounded in the H.264 video coding standard,the algorithm first employs traditional robust watermark stitching technology to embed watermark information in the low-frequency coefficient domain of the U channel.Subsequently,it utilizes histogram migration techniques in the high-frequency coefficient domain of the U channel to embed auxiliary information,enabling successful watermark extraction and lossless recovery of the original video content.Experimental results demonstrate the algorithm’s strong imperceptibility,with each embedded frame in the experimental videos achieving a mean peak signal-to-noise ratio of 49.3830 dB and a mean structural similarity of 0.9996.Compared with the three comparison algorithms,the performance of the two experimental indexes is improved by 7.59%and 0.4%on average.At the same time,the proposed algorithm has strong robustness to both offline and online attacks:In the face of offline attacks,the average normalized correlation coefficient between the extracted watermark and the original watermark is 0.9989,and the average bit error rate is 0.0089.In the face of online attacks,the normalized correlation coefficient between the extracted watermark and the original watermark is 0.8840,and the mean bit error rate is 0.2269.Compared with the three comparison algorithms,the performance of the two experimental indexes is improved by 1.27%and 18.16%on average,highlighting the algorithm’s robustness.Furthermore,the algorithm exhibits low computational complexity,with the mean encoding and the mean decoding time differentials during experimental video processing being 3.934 and 2.273 s,respectively,underscoring its practical utility.

The Fusion of Temporal Sequence with Scene Priori Information in Deep Learning Object Recognition

For some important object recognition applications such as intelligent robots and unmanned driving, images are collected on a consecutive basis and associated among themselves, besides, the scenes have steady prior features. Yet existing technologies do not take full advantage of this information. In order to take object recognition further than existing algorithms in the above application, an object recognition method that fuses temporal sequence with scene priori information is proposed. This method first employs YOLOv3 as the basic algorithm to recognize objects in single-frame images, then the DeepSort algorithm to establish association among potential objects recognized in images of different moments, and finally the confidence fusion method and temporal boundary processing method designed herein to fuse, at the decision level, temporal sequence information with scene priori information. Experiments using public datasets and self-built industrial scene datasets show that due to the expansion of information sources, the quality of single-frame images has less impact on the recognition results, whereby the object recognition is greatly improved. It is presented herein as a widely applicable framework for the fusion of information under multiple classes. All the object recognition algorithms that output object class, location information and recognition confidence at the same time can be integrated into this information fusion framework to improve performance.

Real-time indoor camera localization is a significant problem in indoor robot navigation and surveillance systems.The scene can change during the image sequence and plays a vital role in the localization performance of robotic applications in terms of accuracy and speed.This research proposed a real-time indoor camera localization system based on a recurrent neural network that detects scene change during the image sequence.An annotated image dataset trains the proposed system and predicts the camera pose in real-time.The system mainly improved the localization performance of indoor cameras by more accurately predicting the camera pose.It also recognizes the scene changes during the sequence and evaluates the effects of these changes.This system achieved high accuracy and real-time performance.The scene change detection process was performed using visual rhythm and the proposed recurrent deep architecture,which performed camera pose prediction and scene change impact evaluation.Overall,this study proposed a novel real-time localization system for indoor cameras that detects scene changes and shows how they affect localization performance.

Eye movements during inspecting pictures of natural scenes for information to verify sentences

As eye tracking can be used to record moment-to-moment changes of eye movements as people inspect pictures of natural scenes and comprehend information, this paper attempts to use eye-movement technology to investigate how the order of presentation and the characteristics of information affect the semantic mismatch effect in the picture-sentence paradigm. A 3（syntax）×2（semantic relation） factorial design is adopted, with syntax and semantic relations as within-participant variables. The experiment finds that the semantic mismatch is most likely to increase cognitive loads as people have to spend more time, including first-pass time, regression path duration, and total fixation duration. Double negation does not significantly increase the processing difficulty of pictures and information. Experimental results show that people can extract the special syntactic strategy from long-term memory to process pictures and sentences with different semantic relations. It enables readers to comprehend double negation as affirmation. These results demonstrate that the constituent comparison model may not be a general model regarding other languages.

Identification of Similar Air Traffic Scenes with Active Metric Learning

The rapid growth of air traffic has continuously increased the workload of controllers,which has become an important factor restricting sector capacity.If similar traffic scenes can be identified,the historical decision-making experience may be used to help controllers decide control strategies quickly.Considering that there are many traffic scenes and it is hard to label them all,in this paper,we propose an active SVM metric learning(ASVM2L)algorithm to measure and identify the similar traffic scenes.First of all,we obtain some traffic scene samples correctly labeled by experienced air traffic controllers.We design an active sampling strategy based on voting difference to choose the most valuable unlabeled samples and label them.Then the metric matrix of all the labeled samples is learned and used to complete the classification of traffic scenes.We verify the effectiveness of ASVM2L on standard data sets,and then use it to measure and classify the traffic scenes on the historical air traffic data set of the Central South Sector of China.The experimental results show that,compared with other existing methods,the proposed method can use the information of traffic scene samples more thoroughly and achieve better classification performance under limited labeled samples.

Identifying Similar Operation Scenes for Busy Area Sector Dynamic Management

Air traffic controllers face challenging initiatives due to uncertainty in air traffic.One way to support their initiatives is to identify similar operation scenes.Based on the operation characteristics of typical busy area control airspace,an complexity measurement indicator system is established.We find that operation in area sector is characterized by aggregation and continuity,and that dimensionality and information redundancy reduction are feasible for dynamic operation data base on principle components.Using principle components,discrete features and time series features are constructed.Based on Gaussian kernel function,Euclidean distance and dynamic time warping(DTW)are used to measure the similarity of the features.Then the matrices of similarity are input in Spectral Clustering.The clustering results show that similar scenes of trend are not ideal and similar scenes of modes are good base on the indicator system.Finally,actual vertical operation decisions for area sector and results of identification are compared,which are visualized by metric multidimensional scaling(MDS)plots.We find that identification results can well reflect the operation at peak hours,but controllers make different decisions under the similar conditions before dawn.The compliance rate of busy operation mode and division decisions at peak hours is 96.7%.The results also show subjectivity of actual operation and objectivity of identification.In most scenes,we observe that similar air traffic activities provide regularity for initiatives,validating the potential of this approach for initiatives and other artificial intelligence support.

Analyzing Motion Patterns in Crowded Scenes via Automatic Tracklets Clustering

Crowded scene analysis is currently a hot and challenging topic in computer vision field. The ability to analyze motion patterns from videos is a difficult, but critical part of this problem. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the analysis of motion patterns by clustering the tracklets using an unsupervised hierarchical clustering algorithm, where the similarity between tracklets is measured by the Longest Common Subsequences. The tracklets are obtained by tracking dense points under three effective rules, therefore enabling it to capture the motion patterns in crowded scenes. The analysis of motion patterns is implemented in a completely unsupervised way, and the tracklets are clustered automatically through hierarchical clustering algorithm based on a graphic model. To validate the performance of our approach, we conducted experimental evaluations on two datasets. The results reveal the precise distributions of motion patterns in current crowded videos and demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

SA-FRCNN:An Improved Object Detection Method for Airport Apron Scenes

The airport apron scene contains rich contextual information about the spatial position relationship.Traditional object detectors only considered visual appearance and ignored the contextual information.In addition,the detection accuracy of some categories in the apron dataset was low.Therefore,an improved object detection method using spatial-aware features in apron scenes called SA-FRCNN is presented.The method uses graph convolutional networks to capture the relative spatial relationship between objects in the apron scene,incorporating this spatial context into feature learning.Moreover,an attention mechanism is introduced into the feature extraction process,with the goal to focus on the spatial position and key features,and distance-IoU loss is used to achieve a more accurate regression.The experimental results show that the mean average precision of the apron object detection based on SAFRCNN can reach 95.75%,and the detection effect of some hard-to-detect categories has been significantly improved.The proposed method effectively improves the detection accuracy on the apron dataset,which has a leading advantage over other methods.
