    AG-GCN: Vehicle Re-Identification Based on Attention-Guided Graph Convolutional Network

    Ya-Jie Sun, Li-Wei Qiao, Sai Ji
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.062950
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications)
    Abstract Vehicle re-identification involves matching images of vehicles across varying camera views. The diversity of camera locations along different roadways leads to significant intra-class variation and only minimal inter-class similarity in the collected vehicle images, which increases the complexity of re-identification tasks. To tackle these challenges, this study proposes AG-GCN (Attention-Guided Graph Convolutional Network), a novel framework integrating several pivotal components. Initially, AG-GCN embeds a lightweight attention module within the ResNet-50 structure to learn feature weights automatically, thereby improving the representation of vehicle features globally by highlighting salient features and suppressing extraneous ones.

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications)
    Abstract Fuel station drive-offs, wherein the drivers simply drive off without paying, are a major issue in the UK (United Kingdom) due to rising fuel costs and financial hardships. The phenomenon has increased greatly over the last few years, with reports indicating a substantial increase in such events in the major cities. Traditional prevention measures such as Avutec and Driveoffalert rely primarily on expensive infrastructure and blacklisted databases. Such systems typically involve costly camera installation and maintenance and are consequently out of the budget of small fuel stations.

    Zhengdao Yang, Xuewei Wang, Yuling Chen, Hui Dou, Haiwei Sang
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.060564
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications)
    Abstract Anomaly detection (AD) in time series data is widely applied across various industries for monitoring and security applications, emerging as a key research focus within the field of deep learning. While many methods based on different normality assumptions perform well in specific scenarios, they often neglected the overall normality issue. Some feature extraction methods incorporate pre-training processes but they may not be suitable for time series anomaly detection, leading to decreased performance. Additionally, real-world time series samples are rarely free from noise, making them susceptible to outliers, which further impacts detection accuracy. To address these More >

    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications)
    Abstract Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) is widely used to assess total water loss between land and atmosphere due to its importance in maintaining the atmospheric water balance, especially in agricultural and environmental management. Accurate estimation of ETo is challenging due to its dependency on multiple climatic variables, including temperature, humidity, and solar radiation, making it a complex multivariate time-series problem. Traditional machine learning and deep learning models have been applied to forecast ETo, achieving moderate success. However, the introduction of transformer-based architectures in time-series forecasting has opened new possibilities for more precise ETo predictions. In this study,… More >

    Ahmed Alhussen, Arshiya Sajid Ansari, Mohammad Sajid Mohammadi
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.82, No.2, pp. 2909-2929, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.059382
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications)
    Abstract Voice, motion, and mimicry are naturalistic control modalities that have replaced text or display-driven control in human-computer communication (HCC). Specifically, the vocals contain a lot of knowledge, revealing details about the speaker’s goals and desires, as well as their internal condition. Certain vocal characteristics reveal the speaker’s mood, intention, and motivation, while word study assists the speaker’s demand to be understood. Voice emotion recognition has become an essential component of modern HCC networks. Integrating findings from the various disciplines involved in identifying vocal emotions is also challenging. Many sound analysis techniques were developed in the… More >

    Coordinate Descent K-means Algorithm Based on Split-Merge

    Fuheng Qu, Yuhang Shi, Yong Yang, Yating Hu, Yuyao Liu
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.81, No.3, pp. 4875-4893, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.060090
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications)
    Abstract The Coordinate Descent Method for K-means (CDKM) is an improved algorithm of K-means. It identifies better locally optimal solutions than the original K-means algorithm. That is, it achieves solutions that yield smaller objective function values than the K-means algorithm. However, CDKM is sensitive to initialization, which makes the K-means objective function values not small enough. Since selecting suitable initial centers is not always possible, this paper proposes a novel algorithm by modifying the process of CDKM. The proposed algorithm first obtains the partition matrix by CDKM and then optimizes the partition matrix by designing the… More >
