Abstract Autonomous driving has witnessed rapid advancement; however, ensuring safe and efficient driving in intricate scenarios remains a critical challenge. In particular, traffic roundabouts bring a set of challenges to autonomous driving due to the unpredictable entry and exit of vehicles, susceptibility to traffic flow bottlenecks, and imperfect data in perceiving environmental information, rendering them a vital issue in the practical application of autonomous driving. To address the traffic challenges, this work focused on complex roundabouts with multi-lane and proposed a Perception Enhanced Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (PE-DDPG) for Autonomous Driving in the Roundabouts. Specifically, the model incorporates an enhanced variational… More >

Abstract Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) based on deep learning have continued to make significant advances. However, the following challenges remain: on the one hand, simply applying only Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs) can lead to models that ignore the impact of network traffic features at different scales on the detection performance. On the other hand, some intrusion detection methods consider multi-scale information of traffic data, but considering only forward network traffic information can lead to deficiencies in capturing multi-scale temporal features. To address both of these issues, we propose a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network that supports a multi-output strategy (BONUS) for… More >

Abstract Visual question answering (VQA) has attracted more and more attention in computer vision and natural language processing. Scholars are committed to studying how to better integrate image features and text features to achieve better results in VQA tasks. Analysis of all features may cause information redundancy and heavy computational burden. Attention mechanism is a wise way to solve this problem. However, using single attention mechanism may cause incomplete concern of features. This paper improves the attention mechanism method and proposes a hybrid attention mechanism that combines the spatial attention mechanism method and the channel attention mechanism method. In the case… More >

Abstract Image inpainting based on deep learning has been greatly improved. The original purpose of image inpainting was to repair some broken photos, such as inpainting artifacts. However, it may also be used for malicious operations, such as destroying evidence. Therefore, detection and localization of image inpainting operations are essential. Recent research shows that high-pass filtering full convolutional network (HPFCN) is applied to image inpainting detection and achieves good results. However, those methods did not consider the spatial location and channel information of the feature map. To solve these shortcomings, we introduce the squeezed excitation blocks (SE) and propose a high-pass… More >

Abstract Recent applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in single image super-resolution (SISR) have achieved unprecedented performance. However, existing CNN-based SISR network structure design consider mostly only channel or spatial information, and cannot make full use of both channel and spatial information to improve SISR performance further. The present work addresses this problem by proposing a mixed attention densely residual network architecture that can make full and simultaneous use of both channel and spatial information. Specifically, we propose a residual in dense network structure composed of dense connections between multiple dense residual groups to form a very deep network. This structure… More >

Abstract With the improvement of the national economic level, the number of vehicles is still increasing year by year. According to the statistics of National Bureau of Statics, the number is approximately up to 327 million in China by the end of 2018, which makes urban traffic pressure continues to rise so that the negative impact of urban traffic order is growing. Illegal parking-the common problem in the field of transportation security is urgent to be solved and traditional methods to address it are mainly based on ground loop and manual supervision, which may miss detection and cost much manpower.
