In this context, several deep learning models have been proposed to identify pulmonary infections using publicly available chest X-ray (CXR) image datasets for early diagnosis, better treatment and quick cure. In these datasets, the presence of less number of COVID-19 positive samples compared to other classes (normal, pneumonia and Tuberculosis) raises the challenge for unbiased learning of deep learning models. This learning problem can be considered as one-class classification problem where the target class samples are present and other classes are absent or ill-defined. All deep learning models opted class balancing techniques to solve this issue; which however should be avoided in any medical diagnosis process. Moreover, the deep learning models are also data hungry and need massive computation resources. Therefore, for quicker diagnosis, this research proposes a novel pinball loss function based one-class support vector machine (PB-OCSVM), that can work in presence of limited COVID-19 positive CXR samples (target class or class-of-interest (CoI) samples) with objectives to maximize the learning efficiency and to minimize the false predictions. The performance of the proposed model is compared with conventional OCSVM and recent deep learning models, and the experimental results prove that the proposed model outperformed state-of-the-art methods. To validate the robustness of the proposed model, experiments are also performed with noisy CXR images and UCI benchmark datasets.</p>","PeriodicalId":54949,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140577926","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, Tidal Stream Turbine (TST) rotor images captured in the laboratory environment cannot reflect the real underwater environment in image style, resulting in poor generalization of image signal-based fault detection algorithms. Due to the fixed capture position of the camera, the TST rotor image dataset has a high semantic similarity between images, resulting in content loss in conventional image-to-image translation networks. Meanwhile, the one-to-one translation feature in other works cannot meet our requirements. In this work, a Domain Variable Prior-based Multi-style Transfer Network (DVP-MSTN) is proposed to achieve TST rotor image style augmentation. First, the backbone network is trained using a public paired dataset to acquire prior knowledge of domain variable (Knowledge Acquiring, KA). Next, a Multi-domain Transfer Unit (MDT unit) is introduced to enable the conversion of style representations in low-dimensional space. Finally, the prior knowledge is shared to train the MDT unit by fixing the parameters of the backbone network optimized from the KA process (Knowledge Sharing, KS). In addition, an algorithm based on the dark channel of the image is proposed to improve the transfer of low-contrast features. Specifically, a discriminator is used to discriminate the image dark channel to guide the MDT unit to generate low-contrast style representation conditionally. Meanwhile, color loss is employed to preserve the color feature of the image. By controlling the weights of the style code, this method enables control over the image style transfer process, thereby expanding the variety of image styles in the dataset for the purpose of data augmentation.</p>","PeriodicalId":54949,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence","volume":"213 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140205229","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}

The generative network uses a residual module containing channel and spatial attention for efficient extraction of CT image features. The mean square error loss and perceptual loss are introduced to construct a composite loss function to optimize the model loss function, which helps to improve the image generation effect of the model. Experimental results on the LUNA dataset and “the 2016 Low-Dose CT Grand Challenge” dataset show that DAGAN achieves the best results in root mean square error (RMSE), structural similarity (SSIM) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) when compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

Due to differences in hardware design, software development, and other aspects among different manufacturers, these UAV control systems require high hardware requirements, resulting in a long development cycle.

(3) There is a low recognition rate in complex scenes, high computational requirements, etc. This paper presents an improved unconstrained HPE model to address these challenges. First, a rotation matrix form is introduced to solve the problem of unclear rotation labels. Second, a continuous 6D rotation matrix representation is used for efficient and robust direct regression. The RepVGG-A2 lightweight framework is used for feature extraction, and by adding a multi-level feature fusion module and a coordinate attention mechanism with residual connection, to improve the network’s ability to perceive contextual information and pay attention to features. The model’s accuracy was further improved by replacing the network activation function and improving the loss function.

To hide the secret image on the video, the proposed method follows three steps: key frame and feature extraction, pixel prediction and embedding. The extraction of the key frame process is carried out by the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), and then the neighborhood features and convolutional neural network (CNN) features are extracted from the frame to improve the robustness of the embedding process. Moreover, the pixel prediction is completed by the SqueezeNet model, wherein the learning factors are tuned by the PWOA. In addition, the embedding process is completed by applying the Arnold transform on the predicted pixel, and the transformed regions are combined with the secret image using the embedding function. Likewise, the extraction process extracts the secret image from the embedded video by substituting the predicted pixel and Arnold transform on the embedded video. The proposed method is used to hide chunks of secret data in the form of video sequences and it improves the performance.
