These methods were then quantitatively evaluated. Subsequently, various denoising techniques, such as mean, median, Gaussian, bilateral filtering, and feed-forward denoising convolutional neural network (DnCNN), were applied to the original images, and the segmentation was performed using the methods mentioned above, followed by another round of quantitative evaluations. The two quantitative evaluations revealed that the segmentation results were clearly enhanced after denoising. Specifically, the Dice similarity coefficient of the FCM segmentation improved by 4% to 44%, LBF improved by 16%, and EVOL_LCV presented limited changes. Additionally, the U-Net network trained on denoised images attained a segmentation improvement of over 5%. The accuracy of traditional segmentation and semantic segmentation of Gaussian noise images is improved effectively using DnCNN.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141518296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How to effectively detect adversarial examples and correct their labels has become a problem to be solved in this application field. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can effectively learn the features from images. Based on GAN, this work proposes a defense method called “Reconstructing images with GAN” (RIG). The adversarial examples are generated by attack algorithms reconstructed by the trained generator of RIG to eliminate the perturbations of the adversarial examples, which disturb the models for classification, so that the models can restore their labels when classifying the reconstructed images. In addition, to improve the defensive performance of RIG, the attention mechanism (AM) is introduced to enhance the defense effect of RIG, which is called reconstructing images with attention GAN (RIAG). Experiments show that RIG and RIAG can effectively eliminate the perturbations of the adversarial examples. The results also show that RIAG has a better defensive performance than RIG in eliminating the perturbations of adversarial examples, which indicates that the introduction of AM can effectively improve the defense effect of RIG.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the above problems, we introduce the adversarial feature fusion network with an attention-based mechanism for super-resolution reconstruction of remote sensing images in this paper. First, residual structures are designed in the generator to enhance the deep feature extraction capability of remote sensing images. The residual structure is composed of the depthwise over-parameterized convolution and self-attention mechanism, which work synergistically to extract deep feature information from remote sensing images. Second, coordinate attention feature fusion module is introduced at the feature fusion stage, which can fuse shallow features and deep high-level features. Therefore, it can enhance the attention of the model to different features and better fuse inconsistent semantic features. Finally, we design the pixel-attention upsampling module in the up-sampling stage. It adaptively focuses on the most information-rich regions of a pixel and restores the image details more accurately. We conducted extensive experiments on several remote sensing image datasets, and the results showed that compared with current advanced models, our method can better restore the details in the image and achieve good subjective visual effects, which also verifies the effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm proposed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141518299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing and controlling plant diseases through implementation of timely disease management strategies to reduce their transmission are essential for ensuring minimal crop loss, and addressing the increasing demand for food worldwide as the population continues to increase in a steadfast manner. Crop disease mitigation measures involve preventive monitoring, resulting in early detection and classification of plant diseases for effective agricultural procedure to improve crop yield. Early detection and accurate diagnosis of plant diseases enables farmers to deploy disease management strategies, such interventions are critical for better management contributing to higher crop output by curbing the spread of infection and limiting the extent of damage caused by diseases. We propose and implement a deep and cross residual skip connection separable convolutional neural network (DCRSCSCNN) for identifying and classifying leaf diseases for crops including apple, corn, cucumber, grape, potato, and guava. The significant feature of DCRSCSCNN includes residual skip connection and cross residual skip connection separable convolution block. The usage of residual skip connections assists in fixing the gradient vanishing issue faced by network architecture. The employment of separable convolution decreases the number of parameters, which leads to a model with a reduced size. So far, there has been limited exploration or investigation of leveraging separable convolution within lightweight neural networks. Extensive evaluation of several training and test sets using distinct datasets demonstrate that the proposed DCRSCSCNN outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches. The DCRSCSCNN achieved exceptional classification and identification accuracy rates of 99.89% for apple, 98.72% for corn, 100% for cucumber, 99.78% for grape, 100% for potato, 99.69% for guava1, and 99.08% for guava2 datasets.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141518298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work proposes a cover selection steganography scheme for neural radiance fields (NeRFs). The message sender first trains an NeRF model selecting any viewpoint in 3D space as the viewpoint key Kv, to generate a unique secret viewpoint image. Subsequently, a message extractor is trained using overfitting to establish a one-to-one mapping between the secret viewpoint image and the secret message. To address the issue of securely transmitting the message extractor in traditional steganography, the message extractor is concealed within a hybrid model performing standard classification tasks. The receiver possesses a shared extractor key Ke, which is used to recover the message extractor from the hybrid model. Then the secret viewpoint image is obtained by NeRF through the viewpoint key Kv, and the secret message is extracted by inputting it into the message extractor. Experimental results demonstrate that the trained message extractor achieves high-speed steganography with a large capacity and attains a 100% message embedding. Additionally, the vast viewpoint key space of NeRF ensures the concealment of the scheme.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141518301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While multimodal approaches are more effective than single-modal ones, they often come with a huge number of parameters, require significant computational resources, and pose challenges for execution on mobile devices. To address the real-time problem, we propose a fast and lightweight framework based on ShuffleNet V2. Our approach takes patch-level images as input, enhances unit performance by introducing an attention module, and addresses dataset sample imbalance issues through the focal loss function. The framework effectively tackles the real-time constraints of the model. We evaluate the performance of our model on CASIA-FASD, Replay-Attack, and MSU-MFSD datasets. The results demonstrate that our method outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in both intratest and intertest scenarios. Furthermore, our network has only 0.84 M parameters and 0.81 GFlops, making it suitable for deployment in mobile and real-time settings. Our work can serve as a valuable reference for researchers seeking to develop single-modal face antispoofing methods suitable for mobile and real-time applications.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141518300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current methodologies often exhibit limitations in contrast enhancement, noise reduction, and the mitigation of halo artifacts. Negative feedback pulse coupled neural network (NFPCNN) is proposed to provide a well posed solution based on uniform distribution in contrast enhancement. The negative feedback dynamically adjusts the attenuation amplitude of neuron threshold based on recent neuronal ignited state. Neurons in the concentrated brightness area arrange smaller attenuation amplitude to enhance the local contrast, whereas neurons in the sparse area set larger attenuation amplitude. NFPCNN makes up for the negligence of pulse coupled neural network in the brightness distribution of the input image. Consistent with Weber–Fechner law, gamma correction is employed to adjust the output of NFPCNN. Although contrast enhancement can improve detail expressiveness, it might also introduce artifacts or aggravate noise. To mitigate these issues, the bilateral filter is employed to suppress halo artifacts. Brightness is used as coefficient to refine the Relativity-of-Gaussian noise suppression method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress noise while enhancing image contrast.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of the SISR networks focus too much on increasing the depth of the network in the process of feature extraction and neglect the connections between different levels of features as well as the full use of low-frequency feature information. To address this problem, this work proposes a network based on residual dual-path interactive fusion combined with attention (RDIFCA). Using the dual interactive fusion strategy, the network achieves the effective fusion and multiplexing of high- and low-frequency information while increasing the depth of the network, which significantly enhances the expressive ability of the network.

Using a similarity matrix, it enhances the current feature point with global context from the feature map of the network. However, the indiscriminate utilization of all information can easily introduce some irrelevant contents, inevitably hampering performance. In response to this challenge, sparsing, a common information filtering strategy, has been applied in many related studies. Regrettably, their filtering processes often lack reliability and adaptability. To address this issue, we first define an adaptive-reciprocal nearest neighbors (A-RNN) relationship. In identifying neighbors, it gains flexibility through learning adaptive thresholds. In addition, by introducing a reciprocity mechanism, the reliability of neighbors is ensured. Then, we use A-RNN to rectify the similarity matrix in the conventional attention module. In the specific implementation, to distinctly consider non-local and local information, we introduce two blocks: the non-local sparse constraint block and the local sparse constraint block. The former utilizes A-RNN to sparsify non-local information, whereas the latter uses adaptive thresholds to sparsify local information. As a result, an adaptive sparse attention (ASA) module is achieved, inheriting the advantages of flexibility and reliability from A-RNN. In the validation for the proposed ASA module, we use it to replace the attention module in NLNet and conduct experiments on semantic segmentation benchmarks including Cityscapes, ADE20K and PASCAL VOC 2012. With the same backbone (ResNet101), our ASA module outperforms the conventional attention module and its some state-of-the-art variants.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141509996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
