Abstract Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is crucial in robotics and autonomous driving. However, traditional visual SLAM faces challenges in dynamic environments. To address this issue, researchers have proposed semantic SLAM, which combines object detection, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, and visual SLAM. Despite the growing body of literature on semantic SLAM, there is currently a lack of comprehensive research on the integration of object detection and visual SLAM. Therefore, this study aims to gather information from multiple databases and review relevant literature using specific keywords. It focuses on visual SLAM based on object detection, covering different aspects. Firstly, it discusses… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the continuous deepening of smart city construction, there have been significant changes and improvements in the field of intelligent transportation. The semantic segmentation of road scenes has important practical significance in the fields of automatic driving, transportation planning, and intelligent transportation systems. However, the current mainstream lightweight semantic segmentation models in road scene segmentation face problems such as poor segmentation performance of small targets and insufficient refinement of segmentation edges. Therefore, this article proposes a lightweight semantic segmentation model based on the LiteSeg model improvement to address these issues. The model uses the lightweight backbone network… More >

Abstract Solving arithmetic word problems that entail deep implicit relations is still a challenging problem. However, significant progress has been made in solving Arithmetic Word Problems (AWP) over the past six decades. This paper proposes to discover deep implicit relations by qualia inference to solve Arithmetic Word Problems entailing Deep Implicit Relations (DIR-AWP), such as entailing commonsense or subject-domain knowledge involved in the problem-solving process. This paper proposes to take three steps to solve DIR-AWPs, in which the first three steps are used to conduct the qualia inference process. The first step uses the prepared set of qualia-quantity models to identify… More >

Abstract Solving Algebraic Problems with Geometry Diagrams (APGDs) poses a significant challenge in artificial intelligence due to the complex and diverse geometric relations among geometric objects. Problems typically involve both textual descriptions and geometry diagrams, requiring a joint understanding of these modalities. Although considerable progress has been made in solving math word problems, research on solving APGDs still cannot discover implicit geometry knowledge for solving APGDs, which limits their ability to effectively solve problems. In this study, a systematic and modular three-phase scheme is proposed to design an algorithm for solving APGDs that involve textual and diagrammatic information. The three-phase scheme… More >

Abstract Every day, the media reports tons of crimes that are considered by a large number of users and accumulate on a regular basis. Crime news exists on the Internet in unstructured formats such as books, websites, documents, and journals. From such homogeneous data, it is very challenging to extract relevant information which is a time-consuming and critical task for the public and law enforcement agencies. Keyword-based Information Retrieval (IR) systems rely on statistics to retrieve results, making it difficult to obtain relevant results. They are unable to understand the user's query and thus face word mismatches due to context changes… More >

Abstract Language difficulties vary widely among people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the semantic processing of autistic person and its underlying electrophysiological mechanism are still unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the disturbance of semantic processing in patients with ASD. PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for event-related potential (ERP) studies on semantic processing in autistic people published in English before September 01, 2022. Pooled estimates were calculated by fixed-effects or random-effects models according to the heterogeneity using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 2.0. The potential moderators were explored by meta-regression and subgroup analysis. This meta-analysis has been registered at the… More >

Abstract Road congestion, air pollution, and accident rates have all increased as a result of rising traffic density and worldwide population growth. Over the past ten years, the total number of automobiles has increased significantly over the world. In this paper, a novel method for intelligent traffic surveillance is presented. The proposed model is based on multilabel semantic segmentation using a random forest classifier which classifies the images into five classes. To improve the results, mean-shift clustering was applied to the segmented images. Afterward, the pixels given the label for the vehicle were extracted and blob detection was applied to mark… More >

Abstract A second-generation fast Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm product shape multi-objective imagery optimization model based on degradation (DNSGA-II) strategy is proposed to make the product appearance optimization scheme meet the complex emotional needs of users for the product. First, the semantic differential method and K-Means cluster analysis are applied to extract the multi-objective imagery of users; then, the product multidimensional scale analysis is applied to classify the research objects, and again the reference samples are screened by the semantic differential method, and the samples are parametrized in two dimensions by using elliptic Fourier analysis; finally, the fuzzy dynamic evaluation function is… More >

Abstract Brain tumor significantly impacts the quality of life and changes everything for a patient and their loved ones. Diagnosing a brain tumor usually begins with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The manual brain tumor diagnosis from the MRO images always requires an expert radiologist. However, this process is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, a computerized technique is required for brain tumor detection in MRI images. Using the MRI, a novel mechanism of the three-dimensional (3D) Kronecker convolution feature pyramid (KCFP) is used to segment brain tumors, resolving the pixel loss and weak processing of multi-scale lesions. A single dilation rate was replaced… More >

Abstract The complexity of application scenarios and the enormous volume of point cloud data make it difficult to quickly and effectively segment the scenario only based on the point cloud. In this paper, to address the semantic segmentation for safety driving of unmanned shuttle buses, an accurate and effective point cloud-based semantic segmentation method is proposed for specified scenarios (such as campus). Firstly, we analyze the characteristic of the shuttle bus scenarios and propose to use ROI selection to reduce the total points in computation, and then propose an improved semantic segmentation model based on Cylinder3D, which improves mean Intersection over… More >
