Abstract Multi-object tracking (MOT) has seen rapid improvements in recent years. However, frequent occlusion remains a significant challenge in MOT, as it can cause targets to become smaller or disappear entirely, resulting in low-quality targets, leading to trajectory interruptions and reduced tracking performance. Different from some existing methods, which discarded the low-quality targets or ignored low-quality target attributes. LQTTrack, with a low-quality association strategy (LQA), is proposed to pay more attention to low-quality targets. In the association scheme of LQTTrack, firstly, multi-scale feature fusion of FPN (MSFF-FPN) is utilized to enrich the feature information and assist… More >

Abstract Gestures are one of the most natural and intuitive approach for human-computer interaction. Compared with traditional camera-based or wearable sensors-based solutions, gesture recognition using the millimeter wave radar has attracted growing attention for its characteristics of contact-free, privacy-preserving and less environment-dependence. Although there have been many recent studies on hand gesture recognition, the existing hand gesture recognition methods still have recognition accuracy and generalization ability shortcomings in short-range applications. In this paper, we present a hand gesture recognition method named multiscale feature fusion (MSFF) to accurately identify micro hand gestures. In MSFF, not only the More >

Abstract In this paper, a feature interactive bi-temporal change detection network (FIBTNet) is designed to solve the problem of pseudo change in remote sensing image building change detection. The network improves the accuracy of change detection through bi-temporal feature interaction. FIBTNet designs a bi-temporal feature exchange architecture (EXA) and a bi-temporal difference extraction architecture (DFA). EXA improves the feature exchange ability of the model encoding process through multiple space, channel or hybrid feature exchange methods, while DFA uses the change residual (CR) module to improve the ability of the model decoding process to extract different features More >

Abstract SMS spam poses a significant challenge to maintaining user privacy and security. Recently, spammers have employed fraudulent writing styles to bypass spam detection systems. This paper introduces a novel two-level detection system that utilizes deep learning techniques for effective spam identification to address the challenge of sophisticated SMS spam. The system comprises five steps, beginning with the preprocessing of SMS data. RoBERTa word embedding is then applied to convert text into a numerical format for deep learning analysis. Feature extraction is performed using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for word-level analysis and a Bidirectional Long… More >

Abstract With the rapid spread of Internet information and the spread of fake news, the detection of fake news becomes more and more important. Traditional detection methods often rely on a single emotional or semantic feature to identify fake news, but these methods have limitations when dealing with news in specific domains. In order to solve the problem of weak feature correlation between data from different domains, a model for detecting fake news by integrating domain-specific emotional and semantic features is proposed. This method makes full use of the attention mechanism, grasps the correlation between different… More >

Abstract The widespread availability of digital multimedia data has led to a new challenge in digital forensics. Traditional source camera identification algorithms usually rely on various traces in the capturing process. However, these traces have become increasingly difficult to extract due to wide availability of various image processing algorithms. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)-based algorithms have demonstrated good discriminative capabilities for different brands and even different models of camera devices. However, their performances is not ideal in case of distinguishing between individual devices of the same model, because cameras of the same model typically use the same… More >

Abstract Chinese Clinical Named Entity Recognition (CNER) is a crucial step in extracting medical information and is of great significance in promoting medical informatization. However, CNER poses challenges due to the specificity of clinical terminology, the complexity of Chinese text semantics, and the uncertainty of Chinese entity boundaries. To address these issues, we propose an improved CNER model, which is based on multi-feature fusion and multi-scale local context enhancement. The model simultaneously fuses multi-feature representations of pinyin, radical, Part of Speech (POS), word boundary with BERT deep contextual representations to enhance the semantic representation of text… More >

Abstract The task of food image recognition, a nuanced subset of fine-grained image recognition, grapples with substantial intra-class variation and minimal inter-class differences. These challenges are compounded by the irregular and multi-scale nature of food images. Addressing these complexities, our study introduces an advanced model that leverages multiple attention mechanisms and multi-stage local fusion, grounded in the ConvNeXt architecture. Our model employs hybrid attention (HA) mechanisms to pinpoint critical discriminative regions within images, substantially mitigating the influence of background noise. Furthermore, it introduces a multi-stage local fusion (MSLF) module, fostering long-distance dependencies between feature maps at… More >

Abstract Autonomous driving technology has entered a period of rapid development, and traffic sign detection is one of the important tasks. Existing target detection networks are difficult to adapt to scenarios where target sizes are seriously imbalanced, and traffic sign targets are small and have unclear features, which makes detection more difficult. Therefore, we propose a Hybrid Feature Fusion Traffic Sign detection algorithm based on YOLOv7 (HFFT-YOLO). First, a self-attention mechanism is incorporated at the end of the backbone network to calculate feature interactions within scales; Secondly, the cross-scale fusion part of the neck introduces a… More >
