However, many networks are inefficient in multi-level feature fusion. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective decoder that consists of a series of multi-level attention feature fusion modules (MLA-FFMs) aimed at fusing multi-level features in a top-down manner. Specifically, MLA-FFM is a lightweight attention-based module. Therefore, it can not only efficiently fuse features to bridge the semantic gap at different levels, but also be applied to real-time segmentation tasks. In addition, to solve the problem of low accuracy of existing real-time segmentation methods at semantic boundaries, we propose a semantic boundary supervision module (BSM) to improve the accuracy by supervising the prediction of semantic boundaries. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our network achieves a state-of-the-art trade-off between segmentation accuracy and inference speed on both Cityscapes and CamVid datasets. On a single NVIDIA GeForce 1080Ti GPU, our model achieves 77.4% mIoU with a speed of 97.5 FPS on the Cityscapes test dataset, and 74% mIoU with a speed of 156.6 FPS on the CamVid test dataset, which is superior to most state-of-the-art real-time methods.","PeriodicalId":501186,"journal":{"name":"The Visual Computer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509250","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}

Road crack detection, segmentation, and immediate repair can help reduce the occurrence of risks. Some methods based on convolutional neural networks still have some problems, such as fuzzy edge information, small receptive fields, and insufficient perception ability of local information. To solve the above problems, this paper offers UTE-CrackNet, a novel road crack segmentation network that attempts to increase the generalization ability and segmentation accuracy of road crack segmentation networks. To begin, our design combines the U-shaped structure that enables the model to learn more features. Given the lack of skip connections, we designed the multi-convolution coordinate attention block to reduce semantic differences in cascaded features and the gated residual attention block to get more local features. Because most fractures have strip characteristics, we propose the transformer edge atlas spatial pyramid pooling module, which innovatively applies the transformer module and edge detection module to the network so that the network can better capture the edge information and context information of the fracture area. In addition, we use focus loss in training to solve the problem of positive and negative sample imbalances. Experiments were conducted on four publicly available road crack segmentation datasets: Rissbilder, GAPS384, CFD, and CrackTree200.

However, relying solely on self-attention makes it difficult to effectively extract rich spatial and channel information from adjacent levels. To address this issue, we propose a novel dual attention model based on a multi-level adaptive complementary fusion mechanism, namely DAMAF. We first employ efficient attention and transpose attention to synchronously capture robust spatial and channel cures in a lightweight manner. Then, we design a multi-level fusion attention block to expand the complementarity of features at each level and enrich the contextual information, thereby gradually enhancing the correlation between high-level and low-level features. In addition, we develop a multi-level skip attention block to strengthen the adjacent-level information of the model through mutual fusion, which improves the feature expression ability of the model.

REC describes targets solely by their attributes, such as “the person running at the front” or “the bird flying in the air rather than on the ground,” making it particularly relevant for real-world multi-object tracking scenarios. Our ROMOT achieves this by harnessing the exceptional capabilities of a visual language model and employing multi-stage cross-modal attention to handle tracking for novel categories and REC tasks. Integrating RSM (reconstruction similarity metric) and OCM (observation-centric momentum) in our ROMOT eliminates the need for task-specific training, addressing the challenge of insufficient datasets.

The latest versatile video coding (VVC) standard further improves the compression performance and lacks error recovery mechanism, which makes the VVC bitstream highly sensitive to errors. Most of the existing error concealment algorithms are designed for the video coding standards before VVC and are not applicable to VVC; thus, the research on video error concealment for VVC is urgently needed. In this paper, a novel deep video error concealment model for VVC is proposed, called Swin-VEC. The model innovatively integrates Video Swin Transformer into the generator of generative adversarial network (GAN). Specifically, the generator of the model employs convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract shallow features, and utilizes the Video Swin Transformer to extract deep multi-scale features. Subsequently, the designed dual upsampling modules are used to accomplish the recovery of spatiotemporal dimensions, and combined with CNN to achieve frame reconstruction. Moreover, an augmented dataset BVI-DVC-VVC is constructed for model training and verification. The optimization of the model is realized by adversarial training.

Our key idea is to reorder the unknown variables according to the Fiedler vector (i.e., the second-smallest eigenvector) of the combinatorial Laplacian. It is well known in the geometry processing community that the Fiedler vector brings together vertices that are geometrically nearby, causing fewer cache misses when computing differential operators. However, to the best of our knowledge, this idea has not been exploited to accelerate simulations of elastic solids which require an expensive linear (or non-linear) system solve at every time step. The cost of computing the Fiedler vector is negligible, thanks to an algebraic Multigrid-preconditioned Conjugate Gradients (AMGPCG) solver. We observe that our AMGPCG solver requires approximately 1 s for computing the Fiedler vector for a mesh with approximately 50K vertices or 100K tetrahedra. Our method provides a speed-up between (10%) – (30%) at every time step, which can lead to considerable savings, noting that even modest simulations of elastic solids require at least 240 time steps. Our method is easy to implement and can be used as a plugin for speeding up existing physics simulators for elastic solids, as we demonstrate through our experiments using the Vega library and the ADMM solver, which use different algorithms for elasticity.","PeriodicalId":501186,"journal":{"name":"The Visual Computer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509251","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}

Consequently, the risk of being searched or leaking personal financial information increases. A possible solution is to use anonymized face images instead of real images in the public situations. Most of the existing face anonymization methods attempt to replace a large portion of the face image to modify identity information. However, the resulted faces are often not similar enough to the original faces as seen with the naked eyes. To maintain visual coherence as much as possible while avoiding recognition by face recognition systems, we propose to detect part of the face that is most relevant to the identity based on saliency analysis. Furthermore, we preserve the identification of irrelevant face features by re-injecting them into the regenerated face. The proposed model consists of three stages. Firstly, we employ a dynamic identity perception network to detect the identity-relevant facial region and generate a masked face with removed identity. Secondly, we apply feature selection and preservation network that extracts basic semantic attributes from the original face and also extracts multilevel identity-irrelevant face features from the masked face, and then fuses them into conditional feature vectors for face regeneration. Finally, a pre-trained StyleGAN2 generator is applied to obtain a high-quality identity-obscured face image. The experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain more realistic anonymized face images that retain most of the original facial attributes, while it can deceive face recognition system to protect privacy in the modern digital economy and entertainment scenarios.","PeriodicalId":501186,"journal":{"name":"The Visual Computer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509256","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}
