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 Natural scene recognition has important significance and value in the fields of image retrieval, autonomous navigation, human-computer interaction and industrial automation. Firstly, the natural scene image non-text content takes up relatively high proportion; secondly, the natural scene images have a cluttered background and complex lighting conditions, angle, font and color. Therefore, how to extract text extreme regions efficiently from complex and varied natural scene images plays an important role in natural scene image text recognition. In this paper, a Text extremum region Extraction algorithm based on Joint-Channels (TEJC) is proposed. On the one hand, it can solve the problem that… More >
