Local feature information plays an important role in image segmentation, however, the referring image segmentation task is dependent on the text expression, so it is impossible to extract local feature information directly from the original reference image. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a specific noun-guided local feature extraction deep neural network model（NgLFNet). The NgLFNet model can automatically mine the local feature information of the object to be segmented according to the key nouns in the input text expression. Specifically, the model first obtains key nouns in text through sentence analysis; secondly, extracting corresponding features through text and image encoders, and using the key nouns to obtain local features of high-interest regions through the multihead attention mechanism; then the multi-modal features are gradually fused to learn; Finally, the decoding and correction module uses the obtained local features to perform more detailed corrections on the prediction mask to obtain the final result. The method in this paper is compared with a variety of mainstream referring segmentation methods and the experimental results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of text-based instance segmentation task.

In order to solve the problems of large number of parameters and high GPU resource cost in binocular vision stereo matching method based on neural network in robot and unmanned driving fields, this paper proposed a multi-scale aggregation stereo matching method. Firstly, this paper proposed a multi-scale feature extraction network to obtain richer features without changing the resolution by using dilated convolution, and introduced the attention mechanism was. Then, features at different resolutions were cross-fused to improve the feature information. Secondly, the acquisition method of cost volume was changed, the cost volume was obtained by aggregation at low scale, and continuously combined the high-scale similar information to update iteratively, and cross fused multiple cost volumes to obtain the final cost volume. Finally, combined with the refinement module of attention mechanism, the outliers and discontinuous regions in the initial disparity map are corrected to obtain the final disparity map. Experimental results show that the algorithm can run under low parameter number and low cost GPU resources, and obtain good matching accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a huge demand for weather cloud images in the observatory' s weather monitoring system. In order to solve the problems of model instability and loss of image features when the conventional generative adversarial network expands the dataset of the weather cloud images, this paper proposed a double-layer embedded adversarial image generation method based on SAU-Net DCGAN. This method consisted of two layers of networks which were nested within each other. Firstly,by the first layer of embedded network, it added the U-shaped network to the generator of the generative adversarial network. This network acted as the basic architecture and enhanced the feature recovery capability of the image by using the jump connection between the encoder and the decoder. Secondly,by the second layer of embedded network, it added SA to the U-shaped network. This attention mechanism reduced the complexity of the model by simplifying the parameters, improved effectively the feature loss in the dark part of the image. Finally, it developed a new weight calculation method to strengthen the connection between each features and improved the extraction of detail texture features from the images. The experimental results show that the quality of the images generated by this method is better than that of the conventional generative adversarial network in terms of sharpness and saturation. The evaluation indicators PSNR and SSIM have increased by 27. 06 dB and 0. 606 5 respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the field of CXR image classification, current studies mostly use convolutional neural network and transfer learning technology. But in the process of rapidly constructing a network without considering the specificity of the CXR image. To solve the above problem, this paper proposed a novel XDense-RC-net. Based on the DenseNet model, this method improved the capability of feature extraction and feature fusion by introducing a new spatial attention mechanism in the densely connected layer, Optimized Transition module of DenseNet by using two different pooling strategies to enhance the noise immunity of the model. XDense-RC-net used the chest X-ray14 (multilabel and 14-class) and COVIDx (single label and 3-class) datasets for validating. In the multi-label classification experiments, the average AUC score reached 0.854, which is 0.109 higher than the benchmark method. In the single-label classification experiments, the average accuracy reached 96.75%, which is 7.75% higher than the baseline model. The results show that XDense-RC-net improves the accuracy of CXR image classification and can generalize to multilabel and single-label classification tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aiming at the problem of missing detection and false detection caused by inaccurate motion feature extraction of existing video key frame extraction algorithms, this paper proposed a reinforcement learning key frame extraction algorithm combining multi-channel feature and attention mechanism. The algorithm extracted the human skeleton joint points from the video sequence through the human posture recognition algorithm firstly. Then it used the S-GCN and ResNet50 network to extract the motion features and static features in the video sequence respectively, and performed a weighted fusion of the two. Finally, it applied the attention mechanism to calculate the importance of the video frame of the feature sequence, and used reinforcement learning to extract and optimize key frames. The experimental results show that the algorithm can solve the problem of missing and false detection in the key frame extraction of motion video. It performs well in the detection of video frames containing key actions, with high accuracy and strong stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Existing deep learning based single image super-resolution (SISR) models usually improve the fitting ability of the model by increasing the number of network layers, but fail to fully extract and reuse features, leading low quality of reconstructed images. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an image super-resolution model based on feature fusion and attention mechanism. This model used residual in residual (RIR) structure in feature extraction module. The feature extraction module of the network consisted of several residual groups. Each residual group consisted of several residual blocks. This module implemented local feature fusion in each residual group and global feature fusion between each group. In addition, this model introduced coordinate attention module into each residual block and spatial attention module into each residual group. It verifies that the model is able to fully extract features and reuse features. The final experimental results show that the model is superior to the existing models in objective evaluation indexes and subjective visual effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to solve the problems of insufficient feature extraction of sEMG end-to-end gesture recognition and low accuracy of multi-gesture recognition, this paper proposed a multi-stream convolutional EMG gesture recognition network model fusing attention mechanism. The proposed model generated sub-myoelectrograms from multi-channel time-domain sEMG through sliding windows and used a multi-stream convolutional neural network to fully extract the semantic features of each sampled channel sEMG, and then aggregated them to obtain rich multi-channel gesture semantic features. At the same time, the proposed model calculated the attention distribution map of semantic features from temporal and feature channel dimensions to strengthen the useful features and weaken the useless features, further improved the accuracy of multi-gesture recognition. The experiment used the Ninapro dataset for training and testing and compared with the mainstream electromyogram recognition model. The experimental results show that the proposed model has better performance in recognition accuracy, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
