Abstract The kingdom Animalia encompasses multicellular, eukaryotic organisms known as animals. Currently, there are approximately 1.5 million identified species of living animals, including over 195 distinct breeds of dogs. Each breed possesses unique characteristics that can be challenging to distinguish. Each breed has its own characteristics that are difficult to identify. Various computer-based methods, including machine learning, deep learning, transfer learning, and robotics, are employed to identify dog breeds, focusing mainly on image or voice data. Voice-based techniques often face challenges such as noise, distortion, and changes in frequency or pitch, which can impair the model’s… More >

Abstract The majority of current deepfake detection methods are constrained to identifying one or two specific types of counterfeit images, which limits their ability to keep pace with the rapid advancements in deepfake technology. Therefore, in this study, we propose a novel algorithm, Stereo Mixture Density Network (SMNDNet), which can detect multiple types of deepfake face manipulations using a single network framework. SMNDNet is an end-to-end CNN-based network specially designed for detecting various manipulation types of deepfake face images. First, we design a Subtle Distinguishable Feature Enhancement Module to emphasize the differentiation between authentic and forged… More >

Abstract Detecting abnormal cervical cells is crucial for early identification and timely treatment of cervical cancer. However, this task is challenging due to the morphological similarities between abnormal and normal cells and the significant variations in cell size. Pathologists often refer to surrounding cells to identify abnormalities. To emulate this slide examination behavior, this study proposes a Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Network (MSFF-Net) for detecting cervical abnormal cells. MSFF-Net employs a Cross-Scale Pooling Model (CSPM) to effectively capture diverse features and contextual information, ranging from local details to the overall structure. Additionally, a Multi-Scale Fusion Attention (MSFA)… More >

Abstract As technologies related to power equipment fault diagnosis and infrared temperature measurement continue to advance, the classification and identification of infrared temperature measurement images have become crucial in effective intelligent fault diagnosis of various electrical equipment. In response to the increasing demand for sufficient feature fusion in current real-time detection and low detection accuracy in existing networks for Substation fault diagnosis, we introduce an innovative method known as Gather and Distribution Mechanism-You Only Look Once (GD-YOLO). Firstly, a partial convolution group is designed based on different convolution kernels. We combine the partial convolution group with… More >

Abstract Underwater shipwreck identification technology, as a crucial technique in the field of marine surveying, plays a significant role in areas such as the search and rescue of maritime disaster shipwrecks. When facing the task of object detection in shipwreck side-scan sonar images, due to the complex seabed environment, it is difficult to extract object features, often leading to missed detections of shipwreck images and slow detection speed. To address these issues, this paper proposes an object detection algorithm, CSC-YOLO (Context Guided Block, Shared Conv_Group Normalization Detection, Cross Stage Partial with 2 Partial Convolution-You Only Look… More >

Abstract We propose a novel image segmentation algorithm to tackle the challenge of limited recognition and segmentation performance in identifying welding seam images during robotic intelligent operations. Initially, to enhance the capability of deep neural networks in extracting geometric attributes from depth images, we developed a novel deep geometric convolution operator (DGConv). DGConv is utilized to construct a deep local geometric feature extraction module, facilitating a more comprehensive exploration of the intrinsic geometric information within depth images. Secondly, we integrate the newly proposed deep geometric feature module with the Fully Convolutional Network (FCN8) to establish a… More >

Abstract In existing methods for segmented images, either edge point extraction or preservation of edges, compromising contrast images is so sensitive to noise. The Degeneration Threshold Image Detection (DTID) framework has been proposed to improve the contrast of edge filtered images. Initially, DTID uses a Rapid Bilateral Filtering process for filtering edges of contrast images. This filter decomposes input images into base layers in the DTID framework. With minimal filtering time, Rapid Bilateral Filtering handles high dynamic contrast images for smoothening edge preservation. In the DTID framework, Rapid Bilateral Filtering with Shift-Invariant Base Pass Domain Filter… More >

Abstract There is a steep increase in data encoded as symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrix in the past decade. The set of SPD matrices forms a Riemannian manifold that constitutes a half convex cone in the vector space of matrices, which we sometimes call SPD manifold. One of the fundamental problems in the application of SPD manifold is to find the nearest neighbor of a queried SPD matrix. Hashing is a popular method that can be used for the nearest neighbor search. However, hashing cannot be directly applied to SPD manifold due to its non-Euclidean intrinsic More >
