    Aiming at the problem that most emotion recognition methods rely on manual feature extraction, a hybrid model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) network is proposed. Firstly, one-dimensional data is converted into two-dimensional data, and spatial features are extracted by CNN. Then the one-dimensional data is input into Bi-LSTM to obtain temporal features. Finally, the fused spatial and temporal features are input into Softmax classifier to obtain final classification results. Experimental results on DEAP dataset show that CNN and BiLSTM hybrid model has good classification performance, and the accuracy in potency and arousal reaches 88.55% and 89.07%, respectively, proving the proposed model is a feasible and affective EEG emotion classification model.

    Behavioral imitation is one of the important technologies for robots to show their intelligence. How to make the behaviors and actions imitated by robots similar to the demonstrating actions of human has become a hot research topic. In this paper, we design an improved robot behavior modeling framework based on simple method. The framework collects teaching action using normal monocular camera, and introduces behavior semantic recognition module and key action extraction module into the simple method. The framework enables robots to understand instructor's behavior semantics and then imitate instructor's behaviors. Finally, this framework is deployed on the HBE-ROBONOVA-AI II humanoid robot platform, and experiments are conducted using independently collected single-person action video data as input. Compared with the experimental results of other mainstream frameworks, this framework works with more excellent comprehensive performance in three aspects of accuracy, balance and similarity, and demonstrates a unique cognitive ability to instructor's behaviors.

    Aiming at the task of fine-grained classification of scene images, this paper proposes a fine-grained image classification method based on the attention network inference graph by integrating the multimodal information of image visual and textual features. First, we extract the global visual feature, local visual features and text features of the scene image, and form a new splicing feature by embedding the position information into the local visual features and textual features respectively. The feature is accordingly used as a node of the graph structure to generate a heterogeneous graph. Then, we design two meta-paths to decompose the heterogeneous graph into two isomorphic graphs, and put them into a two-level attention network inference graph with node-level attention and semantic-level attention. Finally, richer fine-grained feature expression can be obtained by multimodal fusion operations with the output node features and global visual feature. The proposed model enables effective combination of multimodal fusion and graph attention network, and performs strong competitiveness comparing with the current advanced mainstream methods on the two scene text fine-grained image datasets of Con-Text and Drink Bottle.

    Aiming at the problem of low recognition rate of a few types of samples in unbalanced data sets, a classification algorithm based on cost sensitive convolutional neural network and AdaBoost (AdaBoost-CSCNN) was proposed. The cost sensitive convolutional neural network (CSCNN) is constructed by coordinating the cross entropy loss function of convolutional neural network (CNN) with a specific cost sensitive index. In training process, cost weighting mechanism is used to reduce the loss degree of key feature attributes of a few samples and realize the classification effect of a single CSCNN as a base classifier in AdaBoost. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, we carried out experiments on 9 data sets with different imbalance rates. Experimental performances, including Accuracy, Recall, F1-score and AUC, show that the AdaBoost-CSCNN algorithm has a good display for unbalanced data set classification.

    Aiming at the problems of low quality, lack of information and non-prominent edge details in the fusion process of infrared and visible images, this paper proposes a compressed sensing image fusion and reconstruction algorithm based on non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and sparse representation. Firstly, a source image is decomposed by using NSCT to obtain corresponding high-frequency sub-band and low-frequency sub-band images. Then, the high-frequency sub-band images are fused by using the highfrequency fusion rules based on compressed sensing to obtain high-frequency fusion coefficients. For the low-frequency sub-band images, low-frequency fusion coefficients are obtained by using the low-frequency fusion rules based on dictionary learning. Finally, a fusion image is obtained by using the inverse NSCT transformation to achieve superresolution recovery of infrared and visible images. Experimental results show that the images fused by this algorithm have good performance in metrics, such as average gradient, edge intensity, information entropy, edge information retention and spatial frequency, and prove that this fusion algorithm has significant advantages in image fusion quality.

    Aiming at the problem of low detection accuracy caused by occlusion, density and small scale in mask wearing detection in public places, a Mask-YOLO algorithm is proposed based on real-time target detection algorithm YOLOv3. First, the algorithm introduces channel attention mechanism in the process of feature fusion, effectively highlights the important features, reduces the influence of redundant features after fusion, and effectively improves the feature utilization. Then, complete intersection over union (CIoU) loss is used instead of mean square error (MSE) as the loss function of frame regression to improve the positioning accuracy. Finally, in addition to the cases of detecting wearing and not wearing masks, incorrect wearing of masks is also detected. Experimental results show that Mask-YOLO algorithm improves mean average precision (mAP) by 4.78% when frame per second (FPS) decreases by only 1% compared with YOLOv3 algorithm. As compared with other mainstream target detection algorithms, Mask-YOLO algorithm also has better detection effect and robustness for mask wearing detection in complex scenes.

    In order to solve the problem of low intensity contrast between infected areas and normal tissues, A corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) segmentation model TMNet is proposed based on triple attention mechanism (TAM), and applied to conditional generative adversarial network in this paper. The MultiConv module in TM-Net can automatically extract rich features of infected areas in lung slices. These features contain different types of lesion information. The designed TAM, which integrates spatial, channel and positional attention modules, can accurately locate lesions in the infected area. By composing of three types of loss functions, the loss function of TM-Net can minimize the differences between prediction graphs and real labels, thus optimizing the TM-Net. Experiment and evaluations conducted on COVID-19 data sets show that the average dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of ground glass opacities (GGO) and consolidation of TM-Net are 1.4% and 0.5% higher than the results of attention U-Net and R2U-Net, respectively, proving the accuracy improvement of TM-Net in COVID-19 lesions segmentation.

    Remote sensing images have the characteristics of complex background, large variations of object sizes and inter-class similarity, which lead to poor object detection results. An effective and robust remote sensing image object detection method based on Faster R-CNN is proposed. First, we introduce deformable convolution, feature modulation mechanisms and dilated convolution to construct a modulated feature adaptation network named MFANet, which can extract more accurate and complete object information. Second, a contextual feature pyramid network named CFPN is introduced to exploit richer and more discriminative feature representations. CFPN can solve the problems of insufficient high-level semantic information in the process of feature transfer and lack of effective communication between multi-size receptive fields. Finally, complete IoU (CIoU) loss is introduced into bounding box regression to further improve the accuracy of object detection. To verify the validity of the proposed method, we conduct experiments on public datasets DIOR, RSOD, and NWPU VHR-10. Experimental results show that compared with the Faster R-CNN with FPN method, IF-RCNN obtains an absolute gain of 8.43%, 7.5% and 8.0% in the average detection accuracy on the three datasets, respectively, which suggests that our proposed method is more effective and robust.

    To improve the weak magneto-optical properties of standard single-mode fibers, in this paper, we fabricated a Bi/Er/La co-doped active silica fiber by using modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) method in combination with atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology. Furthermore, we processed the fiber with gamma-ray irradiation. A Verdet constant measurement system for fibers was built to study the magneto-optical properties of Bi/Er/La co-doped active silica fiber before and after irradiation. Experimental results show that the Verdet constant of Bi/Er/La co-doped active silica fiber is 1.02 rad/(T · m)at 1 310 nm, which is 36.2% higher than that of standard single-mode fiber. It is also shown that the processing of gamma-ray irradiation can improve the magneto-optical property of the fiber, and the Verdet constant of Bi/Er/La co-doped active silica fiber increases with the increase of irradiation dose. Especially under the irradiation dose of 3.0 kGy, the Verdet constant increases by 54.90%, whereas that of standard single-mode fibers increases only by 26.3% and gets saturation at the irradiation dose of 1.0 kGy.

    The deformation measurement of rotating helicopter high-speed rotor blades is usually based on circular markers. However, circular markers are usually with problems, such as low exposure, small target region, and asymmetric projection, which easily lead to detection missing of markers and location error of circle centers. In order to avoid these problems, a detection method based on circular markers in helicopter rotor blade images is proposed in this paper. Firstly, pixel coordinates of local gray extreme value centers in the image are extracted, and interferences are removed according to array arrangement structure, then pixel coordinates of all circular marker extreme values are obtained. Secondly, the circular region of interest (ROI) is established with each extremum coordinate as the center and the minimum distance from the adjacent extremum as the diameter. Within the ROI, the circle center is obtained by parallel watershed transformation and least square circle fitting. Thirdly, based on perspective transformation, the projection mapping relationship between the image and another helicopter rotor blade image, which with the same phase and perpendicular to the camera optical axis is established. And the projection mapping matrix is optimized by levenberg-marquardt (LM). Finally, the images is converted to a positive image for circle center fitting, and exact circle center coordinates are obtained by inverse transformation of circle center coordinates. Experimental results show that the accuracy and the precision of the proposed method are 98.89% and 0.191 mm, and it has been applied in the high-precision visual measurement of the motion trajectory and deformation of the helicopter high-speed rotor baled.

    In order to enhance the accuracy of image segmentation and optimize the detail segmentation effect of image segmentation, an improved OTSU image segmentation method based on attribute weighted naive Bayesian algorithm is proposed. The foreground and background of an image are selected according to the grayscale characteristics of the image as using OTSU algorithm, and then classified by using the attribute Weighted Naive Bayesian algorithm. Thus, the probability of the foreground and background of the image is calculated. By training this model to obtain the optimal threshold for the image segmentation process, the optimized effect of image segmentation can be obtained. Experiment with image data collected by drone aerial photography is conducted, and results show that the image segmentation of OTSU based on the attribute weighted naive Bayesian algorithm optimizes the image segmentation effect and shows much finer details of the image after segmentation, promising a prospective application value.

    This paper proposes a tensor model for video rain streaks removal based on total variational regularization and L2,1 norm to solve rain streaks shielding. Firstly, the prior information of rain streaks component and the video background are preprocessed to obtain the corresponding regularization condition, so as to enhance the sparsity of each part and facilitate the separation of rain streaks. Then, considering the existence of irregular dynamic objects in the video, a total variational regularization term is introduced to suppress the variation of background intensity and alleviate the misjudgment of rain streaks. The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) can be used to effectively solve the proposed tensor model, and carried out a large number of experiments on the synthetic and real datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed method under dynamic background can effectively remove the video rain streaks and retain more background details simultaneously. Compared with other relevant methods, the proposed method has great advantages in three comprehensive quantitative performance measures of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity (SSIM) and residual error (RES).

    The image feature points extracted by the original ORB algorithm often appear the phenomenon of "clustering and overlapping", and their distribution is relatively dense and lack of scale invariance, which easily leads to the problem of mismatching of image feature points. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an image feature point extraction algorithm based on quad-tree structure. First, the scale pyramid of the image is built, and then the quad-tree is used to divide the image, and the depth of the partition is limited. The FAST algorithm is employed to detect the feature points of the scaled image by multiple detection thresholds. Second, the ORB feature points will be extracted based on the division of the total sub-block and the total number of the feature points. And then the best feature points are obtained by taking the maximum inhibition method, and the feature points' descriptors are calculated with the help of the improved BRIEF algorithm. Finally the work of feature points matching will be realized. Experimental results show that compared with the original ORB algorithm, the uniformity of feature points extracted by the proposed algorithm in this paper is significantly improved. The number of redundant and overlapping feature points is reduced, and the extraction speed of feature points is improved by more than 30%.

    Traditional image interpolation algorithm is good at global handling of images, but weak in dealing with edge details of images, thus leading to sawtooth lines in detail areas. For this problem, this paper proposes an image resolution and contrast enhancement algorithm. First, a high-resolution image is obtained from an original one by using wavelet zero padding algorithm, and the lost edge and texture features of the image are compensated by using residual error correction process. Then, directional cycle spinning operations are performed on the image. Considering that the high frequency components in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions of the image after wavelet decomposition can reflect the edge changes in the image, we use high frequency components in different directions of the image to describe mutation degrees in corresponding directions of image pixels. According to the mutation degrees, an adaptive fusion process of cycle spinning operations is realized, which can avoid excessive suppression of edge details. Finally, a nonlinear enhancement function is used to improve image contrast and highlight edge and contour information, Experimental results show that this algorithm not only enhances the spatial resolution and contrast of images, but also retains the edge and contour information contained in original ones. Compared with other image interpolation algorithms, this algorithm shows improved performs both in visual effect and anti-noise ability.

    Journal of Applied Sciences    2022, 40 (2): 288-301.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2022.02.011

    Stacking algorithm is good at alleviating over fitting problem in the prediction of photovoltaic power generation, but with drawbacks of long computation time and less sample data. To solve the problem, this paper proposes an improved 3-layer stacking algorithm based on new vector representation and cross validation accuracy weighting. The first and second layers are the primary layer, which use random forest, SVR and XGboost3. The third layer is the secondary layer, and uses LightGBM to learn the output of the second layer again to reduce noise. A new vector representation method is used to increase the sample size and sample distribution density of input and output data between levels to ensure that the data dimension will not increase with the increase of the number of primary level learners. At the same time, the results are weighted according to the difference in the prediction accuracy of different prediction models in the primary layer under cross-validation. Practical analysis is demonstrated by using the power generation data of a photovoltaic power station. Compared with random forest model and Stacking model, the prediction performance of the proposed model has been greatly improved in MAE, MSE and R-Squared.

    Air quality prediction system is necessary in guarding human and environment health, and the historical air pollution data collected by monitoring stations in a city and advanced computer equipment makes it possible to forecast air quality in a data-driven way. However, most of the existing methods are suitable for forecasting the air quality in monitored areas, and only few are for unmonitored areas. In this paper, a joint training model MLP&ST (MLP&Spatial-Temporal) is proposed which takes the consideration of the comprehensive impact of meteorological factors, spatial correlation and time dependence on air quality, to predict the future air quality index (AQI) of unmonitored areas in Beijing. Compared with several other air quality forecast models, the optimized historical time step P value of 29 is experimentally obtained. Experimental results show that the hybrid model is superior to other models in performance indices (RMSE, MAE and MAPE) and has good ability of predictability.

    In the process of point cloud processing, many deep learning networks fail to fully consider the complicated relationships between local points, resulting in the loss of a large number of spatial geometric information. To solve this problem, an enriching local features network for point cloud classification and segmentation is proposed. The network designs an encoding unit to encode the multi-directional information of points, applies the attention mechanism to learn features of the local points formed after sampling and grouping, and proposes a new multi-dimensional loss function, which combines cross entropy loss function and the center loss function to act on the classification task. Extensive experiments are carried out on Modelnet40 and ScanNet datasets. The experimental results show that the network performs well in object classification and semantic segmentation tasks of 3D point cloud.

    Journal of Applied Sciences    2022, 40 (3): 361-371.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2022.03.001
    Abstract1979)      PDF(pc) (2226KB)(155)       Save
    This paper numerically studies the long-haul chaotic synchronization scheme of semiconductor lasers driven by a common signal based on erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) relay and periodic dispersion compensation. By optimizing the injection conditions of the driving light and the mismatch of the relaxation oscillation frequency between driving and response lasers, the response laser achieves synchronization with a synchronization coefficient of 0.98 in back-to-back situations. At the same time, the correlation between the driving and response lasers is reduced to 0.32, ensuring the security of the co-drive synchronization system. Furthermore, considering the damage factors such as fiber dispersion, nonlinear effects, and EDFA noise, the optimal conditions for fiber input power and single-span fiber length are numerically studied. It is expected that under the condition of dispersion compensation deviation of 5 ps/nm per 100 km fiber, a high-quality chaotic synchronization with a synchronization coefficient of 0.90 can be achieved after 700 km of fiber transmission. This research result has reference significance for long-distance chaotic laser carrier communication and key distribution.

    The current methods of interactive extraction of buildings from high-resolution remote sensing images mostly require complex user interaction and most of them only support extraction of buildings with right angles. In order to reduce interaction and achieve high-precision extraction of buildings in different shapes, this paper uses region grow, Gaussian mixture models (GMM), CannyLines edge detection and the max-flow/min-cut segmentation method based on multiple star constraints sequentially to obtain building patch, followed by regularization methods to get the building contours which are consistent with the actual building shapes. The average of F1 is up to 0.9 in extraction experiments, and the experimental results also show the facility and strong robustness of the proposed method.

    Journal of Applied Sciences    2022, 40 (3): 389-399.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0255-8297.2022.03.003
    Abstract2098)      PDF(pc) (1603KB)(219)       Save
    Power towers are the most basic equipment of the transmission line. Various weather or terrain conditions can cause damage to transmission lines such as wear, corrosion, strand breakage, resulting in deformation or tilting of the tower, which may cause serious accidents such as regional power outages if not repaired and inspected in time. Considering the difficulty, low efficiency and low accuracy of traditional measurement methods, an accurate measurement method of power tower tilt rate based on UAV LiDAR point cloud is proposed. This method uses the scattered 3D laser point cloud of power tower to calculate the tower centerline by fitting the tower body structure, so as to calculate the tilt rate. The measurement error sources and application conditions of this method are discussed. The application in transmission line detection proves the effectiveness and correctness of this method. To verify the effectiveness of the method, the paper selects 6 types of towers, 3 of each, 18 in total, to analyze the influence of point cloud density to the tilt rate measurement method, and calculate the accuracy of the method. The relative error of the calculation of the tilt rate is better than 0.7°, proves the validity and correctness of this method.
