However, in some tracking scenarios, especially those with multiple similar objects, the performance of existing trackers is often not satisfactory. In order to improve the performance of trackers in such scenarios, inspired by the fovea vision structure and its visual characteristics, this article proposes a novel foveal vision tracker (FVT). FVT combines the process of human eye fixation and object tracking, pruning based on the distance to the object rather than attention scores. This pruning method allows the receptive field of the feature extraction network to focus on the object, excluding background interference. FVT divides the feature extraction network into two stages: local and global, and introduces the local recursive module (LRM) and the view elimination module (VEM). LRM is used to enhance foreground features in the local stage, while VEM generates circular fovea-like visual field masks in the global stage and prunes tokens outside the mask, guiding the model to focus attention on high-information regions of the object. Experimental results on multiple object tracking datasets demonstrate that the proposed FVT achieves stronger object discrimination capability in the feature extraction stage, improves tracking accuracy and robustness in complex scenes, and achieves a significant accuracy improvement with an area overlap (AO) of 72.6% on the generic object tracking (GOT)-10k dataset.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"16 4","pages":"1575-1588"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140166867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One effective strategy for obtaining SNNs involves the conversion of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to SNNs. However, existing research on ANN–SNN conversion has predominantly focused on image classification task, leaving the exploration of action recognition task limited. In this article, we investigate the performance degradation of SNNs on action recognition task. Through in-depth analysis, we propose a framework called scalable dual threshold mapping (SDM) that effectively overcomes three types of conversion errors. By effectively mitigating these conversion errors, we are able to reduce the time required for the spike firing rate of SNNs to align with the activation values of ANNs. Consequently, our method enables the generation of accurate and ultralow-latency SNNs. We conduct extensive evaluations on multiple action recognition datasets, including University of Central Florida (UCF)-101 and Human Motion DataBase (HMDB)-51. Through rigorous experiments and analysis, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Notably, SDM achieves a remarkable Top-1 accuracy of 92.94% on UCF-101 while requiring ultralow latency (four time steps), highlighting its high performance with reduced computational requirements.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"16 4","pages":"1533-1545"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140153797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EEG signals reflect the collective dynamics of brain activities across different regions. The intricate interactions among these channels, rather than individual EEG channels alone, reflect the distinctive features of brain activities. In this study, we propose a spiking graph convolutional network (SGCN), which captures the spatial features of multichannel EEG in a biologically plausible manner. Comprehensive experiments were conducted on two publicly available datasets.

Most of the existing SLAM algorithms mainly focus on dynamic object rejection, which makes part of the valuable information lost and prone to failure in complex environments. This article proposes a semantic visual SLAM system that incorporates rigid object tracking. A robust scene perception frame is designed, which gives autonomous robots the ability to perceive scenes similar to human cognition. Specifically, we propose a two-stage mask revision method to generate fine mask of the object. Based on the revised mask, we propose a semantic and geometric constraint (SAG) strategy, which provides a fast and robust way to perceive dynamic rigid objects. Then, the motion tracking of rigid objects is integrated into the SLAM pipeline, and a novel bundle adjustment is constructed to optimize camera localization and object six-degree of freedom (DoF) poses.

Most face perception studies used functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify different brain cortices related to face perception. However, studying brain connectivity networks for face perception using electroencephalography (EEG) has not yet been done. In the proposed framework, initially, a correlation-tree traversal-based channel selection algorithm is developed to identify the “optimum” EEG channels by removing the highly correlated EEG channels from the input channel set. Next, the effective brain connectivity network among those “optimum” EEG channels is developed using multivariate transfer entropy (TE) while participants watched different face stimuli (i.e., famous, unfamiliar, and scrambled). We transform EEG channels into corresponding brain regions for generalization purposes and identify the active brain regions for each face stimulus. To find the stimuluswise brain dynamics, the information transfer among the identified brain regions is estimated using several graphical measures [global efficiency (GE) and transitivity]. Our model archives the mean GE of 0.800, 0.695, and 0.581 for famous, unfamiliar, and scrambled faces, respectively.

Among the essential areas of investigation in CLP, cognitive signal decoding (CSD) has made remarkable achievements, yet there still exist challenges related to insufficient global dynamic representation capability and deficiencies in multidomain feature integration. In this article, we introduce a novel paradigm for CLP referred to as disentangled frequency–spatial–temporal attention (D-FaST). Specifically, we present a novel cognitive signal decoder that operates on disentangled frequency–space–time domain attention. This decoder encompasses three key components: frequency domain feature extraction employing multiview attention (MVA), spatial domain feature extraction utilizing dynamic brain connection graph attention, and temporal feature extraction relying on local time sliding window attention. These components are integrated within a novel disentangled framework. Additionally, to encourage advancements in this field, we have created a new CLP dataset, MNRED. Subsequently, we conducted an extensive series of experiments, evaluating D-FaST's performance on MNRED, as well as on publicly available datasets including ZuCo, BCIC IV-2A, and BCIC IV-2B. Our experimental results demonstrate that D-FaST outperforms existing methods significantly on both our datasets and traditional CSD datasets including establishing a state-of-the-art accuracy score 78.72% on MNRED, pushing the accuracy score on ZuCo to 78.35%, accuracy score on BCIC IV-2A to 74.85%, and accuracy score on BCIC IV-2B to 76.81%.","PeriodicalId":54300,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems","volume":"16 4","pages":"1476-1493"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139979066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The compressed videos need not be fully decoded and auxiliary information can be obtained directly, which have low computational complexity. We propose a compressed video anomaly detection algorithm based on accurate abnormal region determination (ARD-VAD), which is suitable to be deployed on edge servers. First, to ensure the overall low complexity and save storage space, we sparsely sample the prior knowledge of I-frame representing the appearance information and motion vector (MV) representing the motion information from compressed videos. Based on the sampled information, a two-branch network structure, which consists of MV reconstruction branch and future I-frame prediction branch, is designed. Specifically, the two branches are connected by an attention network based on the MV residuals to guide the prediction network to focus on the abnormal regions. Furthermore, to emphasize the abnormal regions, we develop an adaptive sensing of abnormal regions determination module based on motion intensity represented by the second derivative of MV. This module can enhance the difference of the real anomaly region between the generated frame and the current frame.

Our approach harnesses deep reinforcement learning and features an asynchronous multicritic twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (AMC-TD3) algorithm, which enhances the original gate recurrent unit (GRU)-attention-based TD3 algorithm by incorporating a multicritic network and employing an asynchronous training mechanism. By training each critic with a unique reward function, our learned policy enables each robot to navigate toward its long-term objective without colliding with other robots in complex environments. Furthermore, our reward function, grounded in social norms, allows the robots to naturally avoid each other in congested situations. Specifically, we train three critics to encourage each robot to achieve its long-term navigation goal, maintain its moving direction, and prevent collisions with other robots. Our model can learn an end-to-end navigation policy without relying on an accurate map or any localization information, rendering it highly adaptable to various environments.
