Abstract Thangka is a unique painting art form in Tibetan culture. As Thangka was awarded as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage, it has been brought into focus. Unfortunately, illegal merchants sell fake Thangkas at high prices for profit. Therefore, identifying hand-painted Thangkas from machine-printed fake Thangkas is important for protecting national intangible cultural heritage. The paper uses Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) techniques to analyze the color, shape, texture, and other characteristics of hand-painted and machine- printed Thangka images, in order to identify Thangkas. Based on the database collected and established by this project team, we use Local Binary… More >

Abstract In the smart logistics industry, unmanned forklifts that intelligently identify logistics pallets can improve work efficiency in warehousing and transportation and are better than traditional manual forklifts driven by humans. Therefore, they play a critical role in smart warehousing, and semantics segmentation is an effective method to realize the intelligent identification of logistics pallets. However, most current recognition algorithms are ineffective due to the diverse types of pallets, their complex shapes, frequent blockades in production environments, and changing lighting conditions. This paper proposes a novel multi-feature fusion-guided multiscale bidirectional attention (MFMBA) neural network for logistics pallet segmentation. To better predict… More >

Abstract The enlarged veins in the pampiniform venous plexus, known as varicocele disease, are typically identified using ultrasound scans. The medical diagnosis of varicocele is based on examinations made in three positions taken to the right and left testicles of the male patient. The proposed system is designed to determine whether a patient is affected. Varicocele is more frequent on the left side of the scrotum than on the right and physicians commonly depend on the supine position more than other positions. Therefore, the experimental results of this study focused on images taken in the supine position of the left testicles… More >
