As one of the essential technologies in the multi-aperture receiver, digital coherent beam combining relies on the digital phase alignment algorithm to align the different versions of signals in phase. In this paper, the statistical model of combining efficiency for digital phase alignment is derived in multi-aperture FSO receivers by considering the phase alignment errors at each receiving aperture. It can be expressed as a linear function of chi-square distribution by Satterthwaite approximation. Based on this statistical model, we derive the exact expressions of the mean, variance, and probability density function of the combining efficiency. The simulation results show that this model is valuable and practical under the condition of the different number of aperture and signal-to-noise ratio combinations. Combining efficiency is also compared for equal gain combining diversity FSO systems with or without considering aperture selection.","PeriodicalId":166178,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 4th International Conference on Electronics and Communication Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"360 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133645064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At present, the research of image segmentation mainly focuses on the field of deep learning, and image segmentation methods such as DeepLab sequence based on convolutional neural network have been widely used. However, their segmentation results are not good enough when there are the complex deformation and edges in the clothing images. In order to improve the performance of clothing image segmentation, an improved DeepLab model for clothing image segmentation is developed in this paper. Based on the DeepLabV3+ model, the receptive field module and the decoder are redesigned in the new model. For the receptive field module, the ASPP (Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling) is changed to an improved RFBs (Receptive Field Block), which performs much better in simulating the human visual perception. For the decoder, the interpolation upsampling is replaced with a transpose convolution one due to it’s deformation adaptability to the edges and corners in the images; the concatenations between the high-level and the low-level features are increased from two-stage to five-stage in order to obtain more low-level features. After training and testing on deepfashion2 dataset, the improved model achieved performance of 97.26% Accuracy, 93.23% mIoU, 90.56% AP75 and 44.80% AP95 which is significantly better compared with DeepLabv3+. It takes 93.806 ms for the improved DeepLab model to complete the inference of one image, which is only slightly slower than that (92. 09S ms) for DeepLabV3+. The improved DeepLab model has a stronger ability to obtain information such as clothing edges, which makes the performance of segmentation better.","PeriodicalId":166178,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 4th International Conference on Electronics and Communication Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122565046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the total energy attenuation of the droplet particles is approximately twice the attenuation of the scattering cross-section, and the laser attenuation in the advection fog is greater than that in the radiation fog under the same conditions.

Secondly, the high-frequency sub-bands are fused by a PAPCNN model, in which all the PCNN parameters can be adaptively estimated by the input sub-bands. The low-frequency sub-bands adopt an energy attribute-based fusion strategy, which is more conducive to preserving the complete basic information. Finally, the fused image is reconstructed by performing inverse NSST on the fused high-frequency and low-frequency sub-bands.

Our method, based on a conventional genetic algorithm, conducts mutations on original solutions based on various constraints and the greedy algorithm, therefore, it can find better optimized solutions and fulfill all the constraints better. We applied the greedy-mutation genetic algorithm into two public backbone networks’ topology optimization and link expansion cases.

Excessive code clones in software system will cause a negative impact on system development and maintenance. In recent years, as deep learning has become a hot research area of machine learning, researchers have tried to apply deep learning techniques to code clone detection tasks. They have proposed a series of detection techniques using including unstructured (code in the form of sequential tokens) and structured (code in the form of abstract syntax trees and control-flow graphs) information to detect semantically similar but syntactically different code clone, which is the most difficult-to-detect clone type. However, although these methods have achieved an important improvement in the precision of semantic code clone detection, the corresponding false positive rate(FPR) is also at a very high level, making these methods unable to be effectively applied to real-world code bases. This paper proposed SCCD-GAN, an enhanced semantic code clone detection model which based on a graph representation form of programs and uses Graph Attention Network to measure the similarity of code pairs and achieved a lower detection FPR than existing methods. We built the graph representation of the code by expanding the control flow and data flow information to the original abstract syntax tree, and equipped with an attention mechanism to our model that focuses on the most important code parts and features which contribute much to the final detection precision.We implemented and evaluated our proposed method based on the benchmark dataset in the field of code clone detection-BigCloneBench2 and Google Code Jam.

Weighted Fair Queueing can be used to provide differentiated services according to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) associated with each packet. However, due to inaccurate measurements of queue usage, drop rate and delay in real routers, and the intrinsic property of a real network system that there will always be some unpredictable traffic patterns, current methods for WFQ updating can be improved and extended further. In this work, an uncertainty-aware soft actor-critic agent is introduced. First, the learned weights updating strategy is a maximum entropy policy, which is robust under estimation and model error. Second, the technique of model uncertainty estimation is adopted into the agent so that it is capable of detecting novel states that are unseen during the training period, which facilitates a strategy switching framework. The proposed algorithm shows the potential of using reinforcement learning for WFQ weights updating and is compatible with existing techniques by monitoring the model uncertainty, which makes a more robust and stable system. The benefits of applying the proposed algorithm is validated through the simulation studies, showing a promising direction for further exploration.","PeriodicalId":166178,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 4th International Conference on Electronics and Communication Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132956350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
