Abstract Fine-grained recognition of ships based on remote sensing images is crucial to safeguarding maritime rights and interests and maintaining national security. Currently, with the emergence of massive high-resolution multi-modality images, the use of multi-modality images for fine-grained recognition has become a promising technology. Fine-grained recognition of multi-modality images imposes higher requirements on the dataset samples. The key to the problem is how to extract and fuse the complementary features of multi-modality images to obtain more discriminative fusion features. The attention mechanism helps the model to pinpoint the key information in the image, resulting in a… More >

Abstract The Access control scheme is an effective method to protect user data privacy. The access control scheme based on blockchain and ciphertext policy attribute encryption (CP–ABE) can solve the problems of single—point of failure and lack of trust in the centralized system. However, it also brings new problems to the health information in the cloud storage environment, such as attribute leakage, low consensus efficiency, complex permission updates, and so on. This paper proposes an access control scheme with fine-grained attribute revocation, keyword search, and traceability of the attribute private key distribution process. Blockchain technology tracks… More >

Abstract The remote sensing ships’ fine-grained classification technology makes it possible to identify certain ship types in remote sensing images, and it has broad application prospects in civil and military fields. However, the current model does not examine the properties of ship targets in remote sensing images with mixed multi-granularity features and a complicated backdrop. There is still an opportunity for future enhancement of the classification impact. To solve the challenges brought by the above characteristics, this paper proposes a Metaformer and Residual fusion network based on Visual Attention Network (VAN-MR) for fine-grained classification tasks. For… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of deepfake technology, the authenticity of various types of fake synthetic content is increasing rapidly, which brings potential security threats to people's daily life and social stability. Currently, most algorithms define deepfake detection as a binary classification problem, i.e., global features are first extracted using a backbone network and then fed into a binary classifier to discriminate true or false. However, the differences between real and fake samples are often subtle and local, and such global feature-based detection algorithms are not optimal in efficiency and accuracy. To this end, to enhance… More >

Abstract Human recognition technology based on biometrics has become a fundamental requirement in all aspects of life due to increased concerns about security and privacy issues. Therefore, biometric systems have emerged as a technology with the capability to identify or authenticate individuals based on their physiological and behavioral characteristics. Among different viable biometric modalities, the human ear structure can offer unique and valuable discriminative characteristics for human recognition systems. In recent years, most existing traditional ear recognition systems have been designed based on computer vision models and have achieved successful results. Nevertheless, such traditional models can… More >

Abstract Mining more discriminative temporal features to enrich temporal context representation is considered the key to fine-grained action recognition. Previous action recognition methods utilize a fixed spatiotemporal window to learn local video representation. However, these methods failed to capture complex motion patterns due to their limited receptive field. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a lightweight Temporal Pyramid Excitation (TPE) module to capture the short, medium, and long-term temporal context. In this method, Temporal Pyramid (TP) module can effectively expand the temporal receptive field of the network by using the multi-temporal kernel decomposition without More >

Abstract Image has become an essential medium for expressing meaning and disseminating information. Many images are uploaded to the Internet, among which some are pornographic, causing adverse effects on public psychological health. To create a clean and positive Internet environment, network enforcement agencies need an automatic and efficient pornographic image recognition tool. Previous studies on pornographic images mainly rely on convolutional neural networks (CNN). Because of CNN’s many parameters, they must rely on a large labeled training dataset, which takes work to build. To reduce the effect of the database on the recognition performance of pornographic… More >

Abstract Sensors produce a large amount of multivariate time series data to record the states of Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Multivariate time series timestamp anomaly detection (TSAD) can identify timestamps of attacks and malfunctions. However, it is necessary to determine which sensor or indicator is abnormal to facilitate a more detailed diagnosis, a process referred to as fine-grained anomaly detection (FGAD). Although further FGAD can be extended based on TSAD methods, existing works do not provide a quantitative evaluation, and the performance is unknown. Therefore, to tackle the FGAD problem, this paper first verifies that… More >

Abstract Image captioning involves two different major modalities (image and sentence) that convert a given image into a language that adheres to visual semantics. Almost all methods first extract image features to reduce the difficulty of visual semantic embedding and then use the caption model to generate fluent sentences. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is often used to extract image features in image captioning, and the use of object detection networks to extract region features has achieved great success. However, the region features retrieved by this method are object-level and do not pay attention to fine-grained… More >

Abstract Fine-grained image search is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision that aims to retrieve similar images at the fine-grained level for a given query image. The key objective is to learn discriminative fine-grained features by training deep models such that similar images are clustered, and dissimilar images are separated in the low embedding space. Previous works primarily focused on defining local structure loss functions like triplet loss, pairwise loss, etc. However, training via these approaches takes a long training time, and they have poor accuracy. Additionally, representations learned through it tend to… More >
