A key goal of DVR is to enable users to visually emphasize regions of interest (ROIs) which may be occluded by other structures. Conventional methods for ROIs visual emphasis require extensive user involvement for the adjustment of rendering parameters to reduce the occlusion, dependent on the user’s viewing direction. Several works have been proposed to automatically preserve the view of the ROIs by eliminating the occluding structures of lower importance in a view-dependent manner. However, they require pre-segmentation labeling and manual importance assignment on the images. An alternative to ROIs segmentation is to use ‘saliency’ to identify important regions. This however lacks semantic information and thus leads to the inclusion of false positive regions. In this study, we propose an attention-driven visual emphasis method for volumetric medical image visualization. We developed a deep learning attention model, termed as focused-class attention map (F-CAM), trained with only image-wise labels for automated ROIs localization and importance estimation. Our F-CAM transfers the semantic information from the classification task for use in the localization of ROIs, with a focus on small ROIs that characterize medical images. Additionally, we propose an attention compositing module that integrates the generated attention map with transfer function within the DVR pipeline to automate the view-dependent visual emphasis of the ROIs. We demonstrate the superiority of our method compared to existing methods on a multi-modality PET-CT dataset and an MRI dataset.","PeriodicalId":501186,"journal":{"name":"The Visual Computer","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942701","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}

To solve these problems, we propose a new global and local feature hierarchical fusion network for multi-focus image fusion, called FHFN. The proposed FHFN is a deep neural network that simultaneously extracts global features using Swin Transformer and local features using ConvNeXt. On the one hand, we use the PSA module to enhance the focus on local features of images and effectively interact shallow features and high-level semantic features. On the other hand, we design the hierarchical fusion of extracted local features and global features by the hierarchical feature fusion module (HFFB), which constitutes a new image fusion task paradigm for solving multi-focus image fusion tasks. On the other hand, we introduce the gradient residual dense module (RGDB) to strengthen the edge features of images and improve the extraction capability of fine-grained spatial features of the network. Our method is competitive with ten other MFIF methods on four public datasets in terms of both objective quantitative metrics and subjective visual perception, and outperforms other MFIF methods in the same field.","PeriodicalId":501186,"journal":{"name":"The Visual Computer","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141942700","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}

To address these issues, this paper proposes a multiattribute learning and multimodal feature fusion-based generative adversarial network (M-GAN). Essentially, this paper contributes: (1) A multiattribute learning approach is introduced to mitigate data imbalance by enhancing heterogeneous vocabulary and category-relevant labels, which facilitates attribute information propagation into images, resulting in images that better meet task requirements; (2) a multimodal feature fusion approach based on gated attention and enhanced attention emphasizes vital information while suppressing non-essential details, enhancing intermodal interaction and improving fusion accuracy through stronger attention to intramodality correlations; and (3) an optimized generative adversarial network structure employs a U-Net discriminator to capture both structural and semantic changes between real and fake images, improving model performance and generating more realistic images by capturing global structure as well as local details.

This paper proposes an improved YOLOv7-Tiny model for recognizing ripe strawberries. A lightweight RepGhost model is added to the YOLOv7-Tiny model to reduce the computation and the number of model parameters. The SiLU function replaces the LeakeyReLU activation function of the backbone CBL conditional block to improve the nonlinear fitting and feature learning capabilities of the mode. The nonlinear fitting and feature learning capabilities of the model are improved. The C3 module is fused in the small-object layer to improve the ability to extract information from small objects. The performance of the improved YOLOv7-Tiny model is validated through experiments. The results show that the parameters of the model are reduced by 26.9%, the calculation amount is reduced by 55.4%, the recognition speed is improved by 26.3%, and the mean average precision (mAP) is 89.8%.

The elephant was the wildlife animal under consideration in this work. This study initially collects the information of wild animals from their environment. We then extracted and combined the mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC), delta MFCC, double delta MFCC, and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) features in various combinations. This combination of MFCC and its derivatives with LPC provides improved performance. After that, the elephants are identified, and their state of mind (SOM) is classified by utilising the proposed stacked LSTM framework. The results obtained demonstrated that the stacked LSTM framework performed better than both the single LSTM and the bidirectional LSTM learning network.

Current geometric distortion correction methods, focusing on specific types of distortions and relying on high computational resources, face limitations in universality and practicality across diverse real-world applications. We propose here a two-stage distortion correction method that integrates deep learning with traditional image registration algorithms for correcting multiple types of geometric distortion. Compared to state-of-the-art correction methods, our proposed method demonstrates flexibility, capable of addressing a wide range of geometric distortions and achieves superior correction results with fewer parameters.

However, existing object detection methods perform poorly when it comes to detecting multiple small objects. To tackle this issue, we propose the SES-yolov5 algorithm for small object detection that incorporates a multi-scale fusion attention mechanism and feature enhancement techniques. Firstly, we enhance the neck network structure by integrating shallow feature fusion (SFF) and small object detection head (STD), enabling the extraction of more detailed shallow feature information from high-resolution images. Secondly, we integrate an efficient channel and spatial attention (ECSA) mechanism into the backbone network to further filter redundant semantic information while highlighting the small objects for detection. Finally, we introduce a spatial feature refinement module (SFRM) to connect the main network with the neck network, enhancing rich features of input neck data while expanding the receptive field of images and minimizing loss of small object information. Experimental results on the VisDrone2021 dataset demonstrate that compared to traditional YOLOv5 algorithm, SES-yolov5 achieves an 8.3% increase in mAP50 score along with improved detection accuracy by 7.5% and increased recall rate by 6.4% on average.

Most current metric-based prototype learning models utilize prototypes to assist in query sample segmentation by directly utilizing support samples through Masked Average Pooling. However, these methods frequently fail to consider the semantic ambiguity of prototypes, the limitations in performance when dealing with extreme variations in objects, and the semantic similarities between different classes. In this paper, we introduce a novel network architecture named Prototype-guided Salient Attention Network (PSANet). Specifically, we employ prototype-guided attention to learn salient regions, allocating different attention weights to features at different spatial locations of the target to enhance the significance of salient regions within the prototype. In order to mitigate the impact of external distractor categories on the prototype, our proposed contrastive loss has the capability to acquire a more discriminative prototype to promote inter-class feature separation and intra-class feature compactness. Moreover, we suggest implementing a refinement operation for the multi-scale module in order to enhance the ability to capture complete contextual information regarding features at various scales. The effectiveness of our strategy is demonstrated by extensive tests performed on the (mathrm{PASCAL-5}^{i}) and (mathrm{COCO-20}^{i}) datasets, despite its inherent simplicity.

To solve the above problems, we propose a lightweight network for real-time vehicle density estimation (LSENet). Specifically, the network consists of three parts: a pre-trained heavy teacher network, an adaptive integration block and a lightweight student network. First, a teacher network based on a deep single-column transformer is designed as a means to provide effective global dependency and vehicle distribution knowledge for the student network to learn. Second, to address the intermediate layer mismatch and dimensionality inconsistency between the teacher network and the student network, an adaptive integration block is designed to efficiently guide the student network learning by dynamically assigning the self-attention heads that has the most influence on the network decision as a source of distilled knowledge. Finally, to complement the fine-grained features, CNN blocks are designed in parallel with the student network transformer backbone as a way to improve the network’s ability to capture vehicle details. Extensive experiments on two vehicle benchmark datasets, TRANCOS and VisDrone2019, show that LSENet achieves an optimal trade-off between density estimation accuracy and operational speed compared to other state-of-the-art methods and is therefore suitable for deployment on computationally resource-poor edge devices.
