Abstract Colored silk fibroin (SF) film can change the proportion of transmitted light composition and therefore shows potential application in optoelectronics area. However, few methods are reported for the preparation of colored SF film with good color fastness. Herein, colored SF film was prepared by coupling modification dyeing (CM-dyeing) of SF tyrosine residues in solution. SF film shows excellent color fastness due to the formation of the azo covalent bond formed by electrophilic substitution reaction between SF tyrosine residues and aniline diazonium salt. Furthermore, compared with the undyed film, the dyed SF film is effectively preserved its mechanical property by the… More >

Abstract Due to the exponential growth of video data, aided by rapid advancements in multimedia technologies. It became difficult for the user to obtain information from a large video series. The process of providing an abstract of the entire video that includes the most representative frames is known as static video summarization. This method resulted in rapid exploration, indexing, and retrieval of massive video libraries. We propose a framework for static video summary based on a Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoint (BRISK) and bisecting K-means clustering algorithm. The current method effectively recognizes relevant frames using BRISK by extracting keypoints and the… More >

Abstract Bipolar disorder is a serious mental condition that may be caused by any kind of stress or emotional upset experienced by the patient. It affects a large percentage of people globally, who fluctuate between depression and mania, or vice versa. A pleasant or unpleasant mood is more than a reflection of a state of mind. Normally, it is a difficult task to analyze through physical examination due to a large patient-psychiatrist ratio, so automated procedures are the best options to diagnose and verify the severity of bipolar. In this research work, facial micro-expressions have been used for bipolar detection using… More >

Abstract Multimodal sentiment analysis utilizes multimodal data such as text, facial expressions and voice to detect people’s attitudes. With the advent of distributed data collection and annotation, we can easily obtain and share such multimodal data. However, due to professional discrepancies among annotators and lax quality control, noisy labels might be introduced. Recent research suggests that deep neural networks (DNNs) will overfit noisy labels, leading to the poor performance of the DNNs. To address this challenging problem, we present a Multimodal Robust Meta Learning framework (MRML) for multimodal sentiment analysis to resist noisy labels and correlate distinct modalities simultaneously. Specifically, we… More >

Abstract The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) systems has resulted in the generation of substantial data, presenting new challenges in reliable storage and trustworthy sharing. Conventional distributed storage systems are hindered by centralized management and lack traceability, while blockchain systems are limited by low capacity and high latency. To address these challenges, the present study investigates the reliable storage and trustworthy sharing of IoT data, and presents a novel system architecture that integrates on-chain and off-chain data manage systems. This architecture, integrating blockchain and distributed storage technologies, provides high-capacity, high-performance, traceable, and verifiable data storage and access. The on-chain system,… More >

Abstract Text perception is crucial for understanding the semantics of outdoor scenes, making it a key requirement for building intelligent systems for driver assistance or autonomous driving. Text information in car-mounted videos can assist drivers in making decisions. However, Car-mounted video text images pose challenges such as complex backgrounds, small fonts, and the need for real-time detection. We proposed a robust Car-mounted Video Text Detector (CVTD). It is a lightweight text detection model based on ResNet18 for feature extraction, capable of detecting text in arbitrary shapes. Our model efficiently extracted global text positions through the Coordinate Attention Threshold Activation (CATA) and… More >

Abstract Sentence classification is the process of categorizing a sentence based on the context of the sentence. Sentence categorization requires more semantic highlights than other tasks, such as dependence parsing, which requires more syntactic elements. Most existing strategies focus on the general semantics of a conversation without involving the context of the sentence, recognizing the progress and comparing impacts. An ensemble pre-trained language model was taken up here to classify the conversation sentences from the conversation corpus. The conversational sentences are classified into four categories: information, question, directive, and commission. These classification label sequences are for analyzing the conversation progress and… More >

Abstract To address the scheduling problem involving energy storage systems and uncertain energy, we propose a method based on multi-stage robust optimization. This approach aims to regulate the energy storage system by using a multi-stage robust optimal control method, which helps overcome the limitations of traditional methods in terms of time scale. The goal is to effectively utilize the energy storage power station system to address issues caused by unpredictable variations in environmental energy and fluctuating load throughout the day. To achieve this, a mathematical model is constructed to represent uncertain energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power. The generalized… More >

Abstract Pupil dynamics are the important characteristics of face spoofing detection. The face recognition system is one of the most used biometrics for authenticating individual identity. The main threats to the facial recognition system are different types of presentation attacks like print attacks, 3D mask attacks, replay attacks, etc. The proposed model uses pupil characteristics for liveness detection during the authentication process. The pupillary light reflex is an involuntary reaction controlling the pupil’s diameter at different light intensities. The proposed framework consists of two-phase methodologies. In the first phase, the pupil’s diameter is calculated by applying stimulus (light) in one eye… More >

Abstract Reducing the impact of power outages and maintaining the power supply duration must be considered in implementing emergency energy dispatching in micro-networks. This paper studies a new emergency energy treatment method based on the robust optimal method and the industrial park micro-network with the optical energy storage system. After controlling the load input, a control strategy of adjusting and removing is proposed. Rolling optimal theory is applied to emergency energy scheduling based on a robust optimal mathematical model. A weighting factor is introduced into the optimal model to balance the importance of reducing and retaining the power supply. Uncertainty is… More >
