Classification of 3D objects – the selection of a category in which each object belongs – is of great interest in the field of machine learning. Numerous researchers use deep neural networks to address this problem, altering the network architecture and representation of the 3D shape used as an input. To investigate the effectiveness of their approaches, we conduct an extensive survey of existing methods and identify common ideas by which we categorize them into a taxonomy. Second, we evaluate 11 selected classification networks on two 3D object datasets, extending the evaluation to a larger dataset on which most of the selected approaches have not been tested yet. For this, we provide a framework for converting shapes from common 3D mesh formats into formats native to each network, and for training and evaluating different classification approaches on this data. Despite being partially unable to reach the accuracies reported in the original papers, we compare the relative performance of the approaches as well as their performance when changing datasets as the only variable to provide valuable insights into performance on different kinds of data. We make our code available to simplify running training experiments with multiple neural networks with different prerequisites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Object detection from remote sensing images (RSIs) is a basic topic in the area of aviation and satellite image processing, which has great effects on geological disaster detection, agricultural planning, and land utilization. However, it is always faced with several severe difficulties. For instance, the scale of the target spans over a very wide range, and the difference between the target size and the image size is huge, as some targets only account for a dozen pixels compared with the RSI of the megapixel level. In this work, an innovative object detection network (GLNet) is proposed for remote sensing imagery. Our approach integrates global context clues extracted by the multiscale perception (MSP) module and local spatial contextual correlations encoded by Clip long short-term memory (Clip-LSTM). These rich semantic features are further exploited to design a self-adapted anchor (SA) module to alleviate the scale variations in RSIs. Extensive experiments are executed on several public easily accessed benchmarks, including DOTA, NWPU VHR-10, and DIOR. Experimental results have demonstrated that our GLNet outperforms numerous latest methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the development of video and image processing technology, the field of video tampering forensics is facing enormous challenges. Specifically, as the fundamental basis of judicial forensics, passive forensics for object removal video forgery is particularly essential. To extract tampering traces in video more sufficiently, the author proposed a spatiotemporal trident network based on the spatial rich model (SRM) and 3D convolution (C3D), which provides three branches and can theoretically improve the detection and localization accuracy of tampered regions. Based on the spatiotemporal trident network, a temporal detector and a spatial locator were designed to detect and locate the tampered regions in the temporal and spatial domains of videos. For the temporal detector, 3D CNNs were employed in three branches as the encoders and a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) as the decoder. For the spatial locator, a backbone network named C3D-ResNet12 was designed as the encoder of the three branches, and the region proposal networks (RPNs) were employed as the decoders in three branches. In addition, we optimized the loss functions of the above two algorithms based on focal loss and GIoU loss. The experimental results revealed the effectiveness of spatiotemporal detection and localization algorithms: for temporal forgery detection, the accuracy of the frame classification increased to 99+%; for spatial forgery localization, the successful localization rate of the tampered regions in forged frames reached 96+%, and the mean intersection over union of the located tampered regions and the real tampered regions reached 62+%.
