Abstract This study proposes SWAGE-3D (Spectral Wasserstein Attention Generative Ensemble), an enhanced 3D-VAE-GAN framework for single-view 3D object reconstruction using voxel-based representations. The proposed model integrates RGB-D encoding, Wasserstein adversarial learning with hybrid Lipschitz regularization, and a self-attention–augmented generator to improve structural coherence and training stability. By combining variational latent modeling with stabilized Wasserstein optimization, the framework aims to address common challenges in 3D generative modeling, including mode collapse, unstable convergence, and insufficient global consistency. The encoder employs a depth-aware feature extraction strategy, while the discriminator utilizes a hybrid spectral normalization and gradient penalty mechanism to More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a static fusion framework that enhances object detection by integrating camera and LiDAR-based detection results. The proposed method focuses on associating 2D candidate bounding boxes from a camera detector with 3D candidate boxes from a LiDAR detector using an Intersection over Union (IoU)-based matching approach. To enhance the quality of 2D detection, we refine the baseline Cascade R-CNN detector by incorporating a dual self-attention mechanism into both the backbone and the region proposal network (RPN), resulting in the DA-Cascade R-CNN. This enhancement strengthens the network’s ability to detect small or distant objects More >

Abstract The plastic strain accumulation results of the multi-layered wrapped pressure vessel liner during long-term service are an important basis for its safety performance evaluation. However, the complex welds distributed on the liner bring challenges to the calculation of plastic cumulative strain. To this end, a novel hybrid deep learning framework is proposed for the efficient and precise prediction of ratcheting behavior in the liner welds of multilayered pressure vessels. By employing a BiLSTM network to extract bidirectional temporal dependencies from the strain history and incorporating a Multi-Head Attention (MHA) mechanism for adaptive feature weighting, the… More >

Abstract With the increasing refinement of ornamental fish culture, understanding fish behavioral patterns has become critical. Fish movements not only reflect daily activity ranges but also reveal responses to environmental changes such as water currents and obstacles. However, traditional manual observation is limited by manpower and time, making it difficult to record fish behaviors over long periods stably. Existing automated tracking techniques often suffer from ID switches and track interruptions caused by rapid fish movement, occlusions, or intermingling, which in turn degrade the reliability of subsequent analyses. This paper proposes a deep learning-based multi-object fish tracking… More >

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) image object detection has been widely applied in many fields. However, compared with ordinary natural images, UAV images often exhibit complex backgrounds, a predominance of small objects, and significant variations in target scales, which cause traditional detection algorithms to easily suffer from missed or false detections with insufficient accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel UAV image object detection algorithm named DMA-YOLO based on the YOLOv8s model, incorporating a deep diverse branch block and multi-scale auxiliary feature. First, a DF-C2f module integrating a deep diverse branch block and… More >

Abstract Traditional malware detection models rely on a single feature source for detection, resulting in high false positive or false negative rates due to incomplete information. In addition, conventional models depend on manual feature engineering, which is inefficient and hard to adapt to new malware variants. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a malware detection model called WAFDect based on a self-attention mechanism with multi-source feature fusion. The model consists of two key designs. First, we construct a multi-source feature extraction model that analyzes multi-source data such as API call sequences, registry operation logs, file… More >

Abstract Manipulating objects based on verbal commands in cluttered environments remains a critical challenge in robotic arm research. Verbal commands possess high semantic abstraction, while precise grasping and placement actions rely on fine-grained geometric perception. The disparity between these two domains is the primary cause of operational errors. Particularly in certain cluttered scenarios, visual-spatial noise and background redundancy further disrupt attention distribution, significantly degrading the generalization capabilities of existing methods in unseen environments. To address these issues, this paper proposes the Secondary Realignment (SR) framework. It decouples vision-language alignment and vision-action alignment into two stages, mitigating More >

Abstract Traffic light detection and fault identification using images from road traffic cameras are important for intelligent traffic management and urban safety monitoring. However, images collected in real traffic environments show clear differences in camera view, lighting conditions, weather, and background complexity. As a result, traffic lights vary greatly in scale, spatial location, and appearance, which reduces detection accuracy in complex scenes. To deal with this problem, this paper presents a multi-scene traffic light detection and fault identification framework based on dual-attention image fusion. Large-scale road camera data from the Chengdu Traffic Management Bureau are used,… More >

Abstract Accurate electricity load forecasting is crucial for optimizing power distribution networks, especially in rapidly growing cities like Tabriz (annual consumption growth of 7.2%). This study presents a hybrid AI framework integrating the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) and XGBoost for residual error correction. The model is trained and evaluated using actual consumption data from Tabriz’s distribution network (2021–2023). Compared to a baseline TFT model, the proposed framework demonstrates a 11.2% reduction in RMSE (from 0.1249 to 0.1109) and a 10.7% decrease in MAE (from 0.0998 to 0.0891). Attention mechanism analysis reveals temperature (importance coefficient = 0.32), More >

Abstract Rapid expansion of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems has heightened the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to sophisticated malware attacks. Traditional signature-based detection methods are ineffective against evolving threats, and many machine learning models fail to capture temporal behavior, offer interpretability, or operate efficiently in resource-constrained environments. This study proposes HMF-Net, a Hierarchical Multi-Feature Network, for accurate, interpretable, and efficient IIoT malware detection. HMF-Net combines hierarchical VT-Tag embedding (HVTE) to model semantic behavioral information, temporal detection ratio analysis (TDRA) to capture confidence variations for polymorphic malware, and static structural binary features. These features are fused… More >
