    Digital steganography plays a crucial role in securely transmitting confidential data by concealing it within common multimedia, such as images, videos, and audio, to facilitate covert communication. To discover the covert communication of steganography, the technique of steganalysis can be employed. Steganalysis determines whether a given multimedia object contains secret data according to the statistical anomaly of stego data caused by steganography. In recent years, both steganography and steganalysis have made significant progress and development in their mutual confrontation, particularly in the context of the growing prevalence of digital images on social networks. Focusing on digital images, this paper sorts out the development of steganalysis in the past decade, and reviews the traditional steganalysis and deep learning based-steganalysis. Then, the limitations of each approach are discussed. Finally, the study offers insights into the prospective development trends in steganalysis.

    Journal of Applied Sciences    2024, 42 (5): 884-892.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2024.05.014

    Existing cross-modal person re-identification methods often fail to take into account the difference of target person between modes and within modes, making it difficult to further improve the retrieval accuracy. To solve this problem, this paper introduces the cross-channel interaction attention mechanism to enhance the robust extraction of person features, effectively suppresses the extraction of irrelevant features and achieves more discriminative feature expression. Furthermore, hetero-center triplet loss, triplet loss and identity loss are combined for supervised learning, effectively integrating the intermodal and intra-class differences in person features. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which outperforms seven existing methods on two standard datasets, RegDB and SYSU-MM01.

    Journal of Applied Sciences    2024, 42 (5): 810-822.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2024.05.008

    Traditional lexicon-based news recommendation algorithms often ignore the emotional nuances present in words beyond the confines of the dictionary. This oversight can lead to issues such as diminished prediction accuracy and subpar sorting performance. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a heuristic approach to deduce the sentiment of unfamiliar words and devises a news recommendation algorithm to verify its feasibility. A tripartite graph model is constructed to propagate sentiment from a sentiment dictionary to individual words and obtain the headline sentiment. In addition, the bag-of-words model is used to extract topic features from the headlines. The sentiment similarity and topic similarity between headlines are calculated, consolidating these into a comprehensive similarity evaluation index. The news with higher similarity to the target news is then selected as the neighbor. The algorithm predicts the hourly average click volume of the target news by considering the hourly average click volume of neighbors, treating this as the predicted score for the target news. Finally, users receive a selection of high-scoring news articles. Validation using real data from NetEase News confirms the feasibility and effectiveness of our algorithm. Compared with other algorithms, our algorithm has shown improvements in the optimal accuracy of mean absolute error (MAE) by 2.2% to 3.4%, root mean square error (RMSE) by 2.3% to 2.9%, and the mean score of normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG) by 0.7% to 1.8%, respectively.

    In order to address the issues of sensitive data exposure due to shared ledgers among nodes in a blockchain network, alongside the inability to audit and trace encrypted privacy data, a blockchain privacy protection model based on directed graphs and zeroknowledge proofs has been proposed. This model extends the open-source Hyperledger Fabric framework and effectively inherits the features of Fabric. By encrypting on-chain transaction information and utilizing Pedersen commitments and Schnorr-type zero-knowledge proofs, it generates proofs of balance, traceability, asset ownership, and consistency to provide fast and verifiable privacy data audits. The model utilizes a directed graph structure to construct a transaction graph, thus achieving traceability of transaction information on the blockchain. Moreover, it generates proofs to validate the correctness of forward tracing transactions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves complete audit and traceability on Fabric at a cost of less than 10% throughput, outperforming existing related models.

    Journal of Applied Sciences    2024, 42 (6): 934-946.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2024.06.004

    A low light image enhancement method based on color restoration transformer networks (CRTNet) is proposed to address the issue of image and color distortion in low light environments. This method combines channel attention and spatial attention mechanisms. CRTNet consists of a color attention module (CAM), a color map module (CMM), and a sequential enhancement structure. Firstly, CAM is divided into two parts: color channel attention module and color space attention module. Utilizing the global information capture capability of Transformer, the color channel attention module emphasizes meaningful color channels by assigning higher weights to generate channel attention vectors. The color space attention module uses a three-layer convolution structure, focuses on spatial details in high-dimensional space and generates spatial attention weight map. Secondly, CMM extracts high-dimensional image features through a linear fitting process, scaling and shifting these features in the 64D space across both channel and spatial dimensions to obtain global and detail image information. By combining with the original image features, it supplements the color, brightness, contrast, and detail information in the original image features to achieve color enhancement. Finally, a sequential enhancement structure is adopted to repeat CAM and CMM operations three times with the output of CMM serving as input, in order to fit higher-order function mappings and effectively enhance low light images. Experiments results and user studies on public datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches in quantitative measurement, detail and color restoration.

    With the growing interest in spiking neural networks (SNNs), the development of open-source neuromorphic training frameworks has also accelerated. However, there is currently a lack of systematic guidelines for selecting these frameworks. To address this issue, this paper proposes a benchmarking method for SNNs based on image classification tasks. This method designs a convolutional neural network and a fully connected deep neural networks to evaluate two SNN training approaches: direct training with surrogate gradient backpropagation and conversion from artificial neural networks (ANNs) to SNNs. Based on the MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR-10 benchmark image datasets, the performance comparisons of various neuromorphic training frameworks are conducted using evaluation metrics such as training time and classification accuracy. Experimental results indicate that the neuromorphic training framework SpikingJelly outperforms others in terms of both training time and classification accuracy in direct SNN training, while the Lava framework achieves the highest classification accuracy in ANN-to-SNN conversion training.

    The fusion of multimodal knowledge graph requires addressing the entity alignment problem in knowledge fusion. In multimodal knowledge graph, multimodal attributes can provide key alignment information to improve entity alignment effectiveness. This paper proposes a method for entity alignment in multimodal knowledge graphs based on multimodal attribute embedding and graph attention network. First, the multimodal knowledge graph is divided into subgraphs according to image, text and graph structure information. Text and graph structure information are then extracted by graph attention network, while image information is extracted by visual geometry group (VGG) network. These multimodal attributes are embedded into vector space. Finally, the proposed method integrates the multimodal attributes and the graph structure of the subgraphs for alignment. Experimental results shows that the proposed model significantly improves performance, achieving increases of 10.64% on Hits@1, 5.60% on Hits@10, and 0.226 on MRR compared to four baseline models for entity alignment.

    The development goals of reliable, safe, economical, and efficient smart grid place higher demands on the detection rate of current parameters. This paper presents an experimental investigation of high-speed demodulation of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) current sensor, based on magnetostrictive effect and mode-locked laser multiplexing. For the first time, time-stretch dispersive Fourier transformation (TS-DFT) is combined with fiber current sensing techniques. FBG, fixed on the magnetostrictive material, detects the material strain caused by the magnetic field generated by the energized solenoid, enabling current sensing. TS-DFT maps the wavelength shift of FBG caused by stress to the time-domain delay shift in the reflected pulse, facilitating high-speed demodulation. The wavelength multiplexing of the two sensing FBGs is monitored in the current range of 0 to 4.5 A, achieving a demodulation rate of up to 69.6 MHz. This method has broad application prospects in the field of current or magnetic field sensing.

    Journal of Applied Sciences    2024, 42 (6): 1016-1026.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2024.06.010
    Abstract675)      PDF(pc) (1384KB)(212)       Save
    In cross-subject emotion recognition, there are significant differences in the distribution of electroencephalogram (EEG) samples among different subjects, and domain adaptation is commonly used to alleviate the differences. However, the differences in the EEG distribution across affective subdomains are ignored by global adaptation, which reduces the distinguishability of emotional features. Besides, EEG contains a number of electrodes, and subjects only reach the prospective emotion during part of stimuli. Learning the complex spatial information between channels and emphasizing critical EEG frames is essential. Hence, we propose a subdomain adaptation and spatial-temporal learning network for EEG-based emotion recognition. In the subdomain adaptation module, the difference loss in subdomains is reduced by minimizing intra-class differences and maximizing inter-class differences. A spatial-temporal feature extractor captures spatial correlations and temporal contexts, extracting discriminative emotional features. Subject-independent experiments conducted on the public DEAP dataset demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method, achieving classification accuracies of 0.688 0 for arousal and 0.696 8 for valence, respectively.

    This paper develops a design of near-field scanning system for measuring the electromagnetic (EM) field radiated by electronic devices for EM compatibility. Firstly, a magnetic field probe implemented on four-layer printed circuit board (PCB) structure is designed, with a working frequency of up to 12 GHz and a spatial resolution of 2 mm. The simulation results match well with the experimental measurements, and the probe is calibrated accordingly. Secondly, automation of the near-field scanning is achieved by designing a position machine using LabVIEW, with the STM32 serving as the motion control core. The STM32 receives the positioning data through the serial port, and controls the stepper motor to drive the probe for fixed-point scanning. The position machine communicates with the vector network analyzer through the local area network to read and save data. Finally, the data is visualized by the position machine. The results are calibrated upon completion of the scanning process, producing a real-time visualization of the field distribution map of the tested object. The measured field strength results show good agreement with electromagnetic simulation results, demonstrating the system’s suitability for analyzing electromagnetic coupling paths and transitioning between near-field and farfield regions.

    To address the problems of convergence difficulty, unsatisfactory training effect and poor generalization performance of autonomous driving algorithms based on reinforcement learning, an autonomous driving system based on meta-learning and reinforcement learning is proposed in this paper. The system first combines variational auto encoder (VAE) with Wasserstein generative adversarial network incorporating gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) to form the VWG (VAE-WGAN-GP) model, which improves the quality of extracted feature. Then, the meta learning algorithm Reptile is used to train the VWG feature extraction model, yielding the MVWG (Meta-VWG) feature extraction model. This approach accelerates the training speed. Finally, the feature extraction model is combined with the proximal policy optimization (PPO) decision algorithm, and the reward function in the PPO algorithm is refined to enhance the convergence speed of the decision model, resulting in the MVWG-PPO autonomous driving model. Experimental results show that compared with VAE, VW (VAE-WGAN) and VWG benchmark models, the MVWG feature extraction model proposed in this paper reduces reconstruction loss by 60.82%, 44.73%, and 29.09%, respectively. The convergence rate increases approximately fivefold, achieving clearer reconstructed images and superior performance in automatic driving tasks. It can provide higher-quality feature information for autonomous vehicles. Meanwhile, compared with the benchmark decision model, the improved reward function model exhibits an 11.33% increase in convergence rate, which fully demonstrating the superiority of the proposed method.

    Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is crucial for prognostics and health management of large equipment. However, nonlinear characteristics such as high dimensionality, large scale, strong coupling, and time-varying parameters in monitoring data of some devices can lead to low accuracy in RUL prediction. To solve this problem, this paper introduces a neural network model that combines a transformer decoder with a multiscale bi-directional long and short-term memory network. This model improves prediction accuracy of the model by integrating global information through a multi-head attention mechanism. Using aviation engines as the research focus, comparative experiments were conducted employing various models on NASA’s C-MPASS dataset. The results show that the proposed multi-scale bi-directional long and short-term memory network fused with Transformer model (MSBiLSTM-Transformer) outperforms other benchmark models, demonstrating superior performance in both accuracy and root mean square error metrics.

    PEI Gang, ZHANG Sunjie, ZHANG Jiapeng, PANG Jun
    Journal of Applied Sciences    2024, 42 (6): 922-933.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2024.06.003
    Abstract711)      PDF(pc) (2125KB)(179)       Save
    In recent years, Transformer models have addressed the limitations of deep neural networks in traditional medical image segmentation. However, they still underperform in segmentation at the edges of medical images and suffer from large number of parameters and computational complexity, making them unsuitable for mobile applications. In this paper, we propose a lightweight network called ECG-UNet to mitigate these issues. Firstly, the model uses a strategy combining linear mapping and attention instead of conventional convolution at the bottleneck to reduce the number of network parameters while maintaining performance. Meanwhile, we introduce a lightweight multilayer perceptron module to learn more location information of the image. Secondly, dilated convolutions are applied to expand the respective field. Finally, in exchange for further improvement of the model performance at a relatively small computational cost, a gate attention mechanism is added in the skip connections to enhance the feature propagation in the network. The model is validated on the BUSI and ISIC2018 datasets. The results show that the proposed network structure greatly reduces the computational costs while achieving superior segmentation performance compared to current mainstream algorithms.

    Smart contracts on blockchain operate on quantity of digital assets. Once deployed on blockchain, they are difficult to modify. Therefore, the analysis and detection of security vulnerabilities of smart contracts has become an important research topic. Smartcheck is a static analysis tool for Ethereum smart contracts that converts Solidity source code into an XML-based intermediate representation and checks it against XPath patterns. While Smartcheck can analyze most of the vulnerabilities, it has limitations in terms of coverage and accuracy. To address these issues, we developed a new tool, SmartETH, to further improve Smartcheck by analyzing typical vulnerabilities such as timestamp dependency, integer overflow and delegatecall vulnerabilities. The improved Smartcheck is tested on a large dataset and verified by five specific contracts, demonstrating improved accuracy in vulnerability detection. In addition, improvements have reduced false positives and missed positives for many vulnerabilities.

This integration leverages the relationship between multitasks to further enhance the performance of discrete expression classification. Finally, the proposed method is compared with the existing advanced methods across multiple datasets. Results show that the proposed model effectively improves the accuracy of expression classification, and demonstrates superior performance in the multitask recognition of classroom expressions, which provides technical support for multi-dimensional evaluation and analysis of classroom emotions.

    Flying ad hoc network is a hot topic in current research, particularly concerning the design of routing mechanisms. The primary challenge lies in managing routing overhead, which can lead to network collapse as the number of UAV nodes increases. To address this issue in large-scale UAVs scenarios, a virtual backbone network is constructed using the unifying connected dominating set algorithm, thereby reducing the number of nodes in route flooding. Next, the NBATMAN-ADV (new better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking-advanced) routing protocol is deployed on the backbone nodes. This protocol evaluates link quality using the received signal strength index and signal-to-noise ratio of the physical layer data, enabling rapid detection of link changes while reducing the routing overhead. Simulation results show that the proposed routing protocol has significantly improved packet delivery rate, end-to-end delay and throughput compared with traditional proactive routing protocols such as optimized link state routing and destination-sequenced distance vector. Experimental results on communication module show that the proposed routing protocol exhibits superior performance in terms of multi-hop delay.

    Driven by economic benefits, highway toll evasion behavior occurs frequently in China. This study utilizes anonymized toll data from a specific region in 2020 to address this issue. Through data mining to analyze the behavior characteristics of the evading vehicles, we propose a toll evasion pattern recognition model based on RFE-OPTUNA-XGBoost.

The results demonstrate that the RFE-OPTUNA-XGBoost model achieves higher accuracy in toll evasion pattern recognition and higher AUC values for each evasion method. In summary, the proposed model can accurately identify toll evasion patterns, offering significant practical value for highway management departments in conducting inspections and preventing toll evasion.

    Abstract264)      PDF(pc) (609KB)(136)       Save
    Aiming at the problem that most current encrypted traffic classification methods ignore the timing characteristics in the traffic and the model efficiency, we propose an efficient classification method based on attention temporal convolutional network (ATCN). This method first embeds content information and timing information into the model to enhance the representation of encrypted traffic. Then it utilizes temporal convolutional network to capture effective features in parallel to increase training speed. Finally, we introduce attention mechanism to establish dynamic feature aggregation to optimize model parameters. Experimental results show the superior performance of our proposed method over the baseline in two classification tasks, achieving accuracy of 99.4% and 99.8%, respectively, while reducing the number of model parameters to a maximum of 15% of the baseline. Finally, a fine-tuning method based on transfer learning is introduced to the ATCN, which provides a novel approach for zero-day traffic processing in traffic classification.
