Abstract With the rapid urbanization and exponential population growth in China, two-wheeled vehicles have become a popular mode of transportation, particularly for short-distance travel. However, due to a lack of safety awareness, traffic violations by two-wheeled vehicle riders have become a widespread concern, contributing to urban traffic risks. Currently, significant human and material resources are being allocated to monitor and intercept non-compliant riders to ensure safe driving behavior. To enhance the safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of traffic monitoring, automated detection systems based on image processing algorithms can be employed to identify traffic violations from eye-level video… More >

Abstract Although conventional object detection methods achieve high accuracy through extensively annotated datasets, acquiring such large-scale labeled data remains challenging and cost-prohibitive in numerous real-world applications. Few-shot object detection presents a new research idea that aims to localize and classify objects in images using only limited annotated examples. However, the inherent challenge in few-shot object detection lies in the insufficient sample diversity to fully characterize the sample feature distribution, which consequently impacts model performance. Inspired by contrastive learning principles, we propose an Implicit Feature Contrastive Learning (IFCL) module to address this limitation and augment feature diversity More >

Abstract Accurate and robust navigation in complex surgical environments is crucial for bronchoscopic surgeries. This study purposes a bronchoscopic lumen feature matching network (BLFM-Net) based on deep learning to address the challenges of image noise, anatomical complexity, and the stringent real-time requirements. The BLFM-Net enhances bronchoscopic image processing by integrating several functional modules. The FFA-Net preprocessing module mitigates image fogging and improves visual clarity for subsequent processing. The feature extraction module derives multi-dimensional features, such as centroids, area, and shape descriptors, from dehazed images. The Faster R-CNN Object detection module detects bronchial regions of interest and… More >

Abstract Few-shot point cloud 3D object detection (FS3D) aims to identify and locate objects of novel classes within point clouds using knowledge acquired from annotated base classes and a minimal number of samples from the novel classes. Due to imbalanced training data, existing FS3D methods based on fully supervised learning can lead to overfitting toward base classes, which impairs the network’s ability to generalize knowledge learned from base classes to novel classes and also prevents the network from extracting distinctive foreground and background representations for novel class objects. To address these issues, this thesis proposes a… More >
