Abstract Aiming at the limitations of the existing railway foreign object detection methods based on two-dimensional (2D) images, such as short detection distance, strong influence of environment and lack of distance information, we propose Rail-PillarNet, a three-dimensional (3D) LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) railway foreign object detection method based on the improvement of PointPillars. Firstly, the parallel attention pillar encoder (PAPE) is designed to fully extract the features of the pillars and alleviate the problem of local fine-grained information loss in PointPillars pillars encoder. Secondly, a fine backbone network is designed to improve the feature extraction… More >

Abstract Addressing the challenges in detecting surface floating litter in artificial lakes, including complex environments, uneven illumination, and susceptibility to noise and weather, this paper proposes an efficient and lightweight Ghost-YOLO (You Only Look Once) v8 algorithm. The algorithm integrates advanced attention mechanisms and a small-target detection head to significantly enhance detection performance and efficiency. Firstly, an SE (Squeeze-and-Excitation) mechanism is incorporated into the backbone network to fortify the extraction of resilient features and precise target localization. This mechanism models feature channel dependencies, enabling adaptive adjustment of channel importance, thereby improving recognition of floating litter targets.… More >

Abstract Object detection in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial images has become increasingly important in military and civil applications. General object detection models are not robust enough against interclass similarity and intraclass variability of small objects, and UAV-specific nuisances such as uncontrolled weather conditions. Unlike previous approaches focusing on high-level semantic information, we report the importance of underlying features to improve detection accuracy and robustness from the information-theoretic perspective. Specifically, we propose a robust and discriminative feature learning approach through mutual information maximization (RD-MIM), which can be integrated into numerous object detection methods for aerial images.… More >

Abstract The dominance of Android in the global mobile market and the open development characteristics of this platform have resulted in a significant increase in malware. These malicious applications have become a serious concern to the security of Android systems. To address this problem, researchers have proposed several machine-learning models to detect and classify Android malware based on analyzing features extracted from Android samples. However, most existing studies have focused on the classification task and overlooked the feature selection process, which is crucial to reduce the training time and maintain or improve the classification results.

Abstract The task of food image recognition, a nuanced subset of fine-grained image recognition, grapples with substantial intra-class variation and minimal inter-class differences. These challenges are compounded by the irregular and multi-scale nature of food images. Addressing these complexities, our study introduces an advanced model that leverages multiple attention mechanisms and multi-stage local fusion, grounded in the ConvNeXt architecture. Our model employs hybrid attention (HA) mechanisms to pinpoint critical discriminative regions within images, substantially mitigating the influence of background noise. Furthermore, it introduces a multi-stage local fusion (MSLF) module, fostering long-distance dependencies between feature maps at… More >

Abstract Video summarization aims to select key frames or key shots to create summaries for fast retrieval, compression, and efficient browsing of videos. Graph neural networks efficiently capture information about graph nodes and their neighbors, but ignore the dynamic dependencies between nodes. To address this challenge, we propose an innovative Adaptive Graph Convolutional Adjacency Matrix Network (TAMGCN), leveraging the attention mechanism to dynamically adjust dependencies between graph nodes. Specifically, we first segment shots and extract features of each frame, then compute the representative features of each shot. Subsequently, we utilize the attention mechanism to dynamically adjust More >

Abstract As image manipulation technology advances rapidly, the malicious use of image tampering has alarmingly escalated, posing a significant threat to social stability. In the realm of image tampering localization, accurately localizing limited samples, multiple types, and various sizes of regions remains a multitude of challenges. These issues impede the model’s universality and generalization capability and detrimentally affect its performance. To tackle these issues, we propose FL-MobileViT-an improved MobileViT model devised for image tampering localization. Our proposed model utilizes a dual-stream architecture that independently processes the RGB and noise domain, and captures richer traces of tampering… More >

Abstract Social media has become increasingly significant in modern society, but it has also turned into a breeding ground for the propagation of misleading information, potentially causing a detrimental impact on public opinion and daily life. Compared to pure text content, multmodal content significantly increases the visibility and share ability of posts. This has made the search for efficient modality representations and cross-modal information interaction methods a key focus in the field of multimodal fake news detection. To effectively address the critical challenge of accurately detecting fake news on social media, this paper proposes a fake… More >
