Identifying and locating intrusion events is a key topic in this field. While neural network-based solutions have been proposed frequently in recent years, a majority of them neglect the location of the events, resulting in ongoing manual labor in practical engineering applications. Based on the investigation of pipeline intrusion event identification, an automatic event recognition and location method is proposed. The proposed method is based on the concept of target detection , and the spatio-temporal diagram of 1 s time and 4 km spatial distance is used as the input of the target detection network. As such, max-min normalization, bandpass filtering, and data augmentation are employed as preprocessing methods to realize the location and identification of intrusion events at the same time. The experiment demonstrates that the proposed method can achieve an average recall of 82.9% and a precision of 70.4% in three types of events, including surface beating, surface digging, and human jumping, which can basically meet most industrial requirements..

To improve navigation accuracy of the terrain matching algorithm, this study proposes a terrain matching algorithm based on the morphological enhanced histogram of oriented gradients (EHOG). The proposed algorithm performs morphological closed operations to preprocess the real-time elevation map (REM) obtained by the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), thereby obtaining the EHOG features. Then, it converts the terrain matching into the matching of the HOG feature descriptors. Euclidean distance between eigenvectors is used as a measure of similarity. In the matching process, we have adopted a three-step optimization matching search strategy that combines rough matching, smaller matching, and fine matching to improve the algorithm's real-time performance. Experimental results show that, compared to the unenhanced HOG algorithm and the traditional gradient cross-correlation algorithm, the proposed algorithm has better matching accuracy and noise resistance. Simultaneously, it has shown strong robustness and practicality and is well suited for InSAR terrain matching..

The number of HSI spectral bands is large and information redundancy is high, which increases calculation complexity. However, a lack of training samples can easily lead to overfitting of model training and reduce classification accuracy. To improve the classification accuracy and reduce the training time, this study proposes a fast dense connection network based on a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) with double branch and double attention mechanism for HSI classification. In this study, the original data is dimensionless using principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce redundant information. Then, a double efficient channel attention (ECA) mechanism with a double branch dense connection structure and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) is used. It not only ensures the model's classification accuracy but also increases the model's training speed. We conducted experiments on multiple public hyperspectral datasets, and the performance evaluation indices are overall classification accuracy (OA), average classification accuracy (AA), and Kappa coefficient. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the classification accuracy and significantly reduce the training time and testing time..

One of the important indicators is the accuracy of face pose estimation. Aiming at the problem of the deflection angle in the acquired three-dimensional (3D) face model, a 3D face pose estimation algorithm based on symmetry plane is proposed. According to the zygomorphy of the face, the symmetry plane is extracted, and then the symmetry contour is calculated. The symmetry plane is aligned with the yoz coordinate plane to obtain the first posture adjustment result. The vector formed by the two ends of the symmetry contour is adjusted to be parallel to the y coordinate axis to obtain the second posture adjustment result. The pose estimation results are obtained by two pose adjustments. The accuracy of the algorithm is evaluated by the β of the face model rotating around the y-axis. 12 face point cloud models with different yaw angles are generated based on the BJUT-3D face database,and they are used as the test data set for the experiment. The experimental results demonstrate that the mean absolute error of β is less than 0.55° in the range from -30° to 30°. Compared with other face pose estimation algorithms based on feature points, the proposed algorithm has higher accuracy..

The proposed algorithm is based on YOLOv4-tiny, and we optimized the Anchor box using the K-means++ clustering algorithm, added the detection head of the 52×52 size feature map to expand the scope of the algorithm for small targets, and combined it with the ShuffleNetv2 lightweight backbone network, and the reorg_layer downsample and sub-pixel upsample methods were used to optimize the Backbone, Neck, and Head of the YOLOv4-tiny algorithm. Eventually, we obtained the DTD-YOLOv4-tiny with a model size of 1.4 MB and a floating-point calculation (GFLOPs) of 1.1, which is a lightweight detection technique. The experiments demonstrate that the DTD-YOLOv4-tiny detection model does not limit the image input size, while ensuring low computational resource occupation and high real-time detection. Simultaneously, the algorithm with reduced parameters can also maintain accuracy when facing the original large-scale image. When using 960×540 size image as input on the Drone-vs-Bird 2017 dataset, the average precision (AP) @50 of the proposed algorithm achieved 95%, and the detection speed on the RTX2060 graphics card attained 113 frame/s;when using 1920×1080 size image as input on the TIB-Net dataset, the AP@50 of the proposed algorithm achieved 85.1%, and the detection speed on the RTX2080Ti graphics card attained 119 frame/s..

As a result, saliency-analysis-based ship detection algorithms have received extensive research attention. However, obtaining accurate ship detection results influenced by irregular background noise, such as waves, clutter, and wakes, on the sea surface is challenging. A robust background-estimation-based salient ship detection algorithm has been proposed to solve the aforementioned problem. First, the input image is clustered into a set of superpixels, and the deep feature representation of each superpixel is extracted from a deep convolutional neural network. Then, a background noise estimation algorithm is proposed to effectively suppress the influence of background noise on ship detection and it is integrated into the solution framework of hierarchical cellular automata. Finally, the salient ship detection results can be obtained according to the difference in the feature description of various pixels in the stereo neighborhood space. Qualitative and quantitative experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm could effectively enhance the salient ship detection effect under complex backgrounds..

Yunzuo Zhang, Wenxuan Li, and Panliang Yang
Segmentation of surveillance video into motion segments is the basis and premise of video synopsis. The existing video segment segmentation methods are complex in their implementation and computationally intensive, which has a detrimental effect on the real-time performance of video synopsis. To address these issues, aSegmentation of surveillance video into motion segments is the basis and premise of video synopsis. The existing video segment segmentation methods are complex in their implementation and computationally intensive, which has a detrimental effect on the real-time performance of video synopsis. To address these issues, a motion segment segmentation method of surveillance video based on the spatio-temporal flow model is proposed. The proposed technique only sparsely samples the boundary pixels of the video surveillance area to create the video spatio-temporal profile. On this basis, background modeling is used to extract the targets from the spatio-temporal profile. A spatio-temporal flow model for moving objects entering and exiting the visual surveillance area is subsequently constructed. Finally, the model is modified according to the moving target's feature matching, and the accumulative spatio-temporal flow curve of the video is obtained, from which the motion segments are then segmented. Experimental results show that the presented method not only ensures video segmentation accuracy but also dramatically increases the speed of video motion segment segmentation..

Further, the detection using image matching algorithm showed that the matching and binocular vision measurement accuracies are low. In this paper, we proposed a binocular vision measurement method using improved FAST and binary robust independent elementary features (BRIEF). First, the FAST algorithm was used to extract the feature points and simplify the detection template. Next, the adaptive threshold was used to extract the feature points, which are described using the improved BRIEF, and the descriptor was formed by comparing the gray average of the neighborhood of a pixel. Then, it was based on the Hamming distance to complete the match. Finally, we adopted the gray gradient method to obtain the subpixel coordinates of the matching points. The three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the matching points were calculated using the principle of parallax and triangulation, to complete the size measurement of the measured object. From the experimental results, the corner points detected using the improved FAST are more uniform with regard to corner detection, verifying that the proposed method effectively improves the matching accuracy compared with other algorithms. Besides, the minimum relative error of measurement of proposed method is 0.45%, which satisfies the measurement requirements..

First, we compute the global relative haze concentration of the image using the relationship between haze concentration and the difference in brightness and saturation in HSV space and combine the high-pixel value corresponding to the dark channel map to set the weight coefficient that can automatically select the appropriate atmospheric light value. Second, we use the rough transmittance value obtained by the dark channel prior to correct the maximum radius transmittance in each haze-line, and then introduce a tolerance parameter to optimize the transmittance of bright pixels. Next, fast guiding filtering is introduced to further optimize the transmittance maps. Finally, the final haze-free image based on the atmospheric scattering model is obtained.

Also, the accuracy of feature extraction using lightweight networks is low. We designed a real-time semantic segmentation network using the improved MobileNet v3 and lightweight OctConv high-frequency (OTCH-L) module to mitigate both problems.

Shuang Luo, Hui Huang, and Kaibing Zhang
Example learning is an effective single-image super-resolution reconstruction technique. The key function of this technique is determining how to establish the mapping relationship between high- and low-resolution images. Especially, when dealing with complex and diverse natural images, several studies have shown that Example learning is an effective single-image super-resolution reconstruction technique. The key function of this technique is determining how to establish the mapping relationship between high- and low-resolution images. Especially, when dealing with complex and diverse natural images, several studies have shown that it is difficult to reconstruct ideal high-resolution images using a single regression model. Therefore, this study uses the A+ algorithm as a starting point and proposes a super-resolution algorithm based on the theory of Boosting ensemble learning that can adapt to various types of natural images by continuously enhancing the complementarity of the regression model. First, the Boosting scheme is used to train multiple sets of complementary subregressors. Then, all sets of subregressors are merged to generate an integrated model with stronger generalization ability and better reconstruction performance. Finally, a cascaded residual regression strategy and a coarse-to-fine technique are used to gradually synthesize high-resolution images to further improve the image quality. The proposed method was compared with four state-of-the-art examples of learning-based super-resolution methods using five standard datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed method can reconstruct high-quality images with clearer edges and richer texture details..

Image quality assessment of DIBR technology has received a lot of attention in recent years because it is one of the main technologies of virtual viewpoint synthesis. The quality of the synthesized image and video is critical to the successful application of the associated technology. Thus, based on the statistical features, this paper proposes a no-reference quality assessment model for DIBR images. First, the texture distortions of DIBR images are detected by Benford's law, and then variation of discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients and the statistical characteristics of the natural scene are extracted. Finally, the prediction scores are obtained by training the extracted features using support vector regression (SVR). The proposed method is highly consistent with human subjective evaluation, according to the experimental results on three public image datasets: IVC, IETR, and MCL-3D..

Therefore, this paper proposes a second-order sensitivity matrix method. When the ranges of decenter and tilt are from -3 mm to 3 mm and from -3 mrad to 3 mrad, respectively, the relation curves between the Zernike coefficient and misalignment are drawn. All their goodness of fit is larger than 0.99. Based on these curves, two sensitivity matrixes are solved and verified using simulation experiments. The results are as follows: The root mean squares (RMSs) of the x-axis decenter and y-axis decenter are 0.0023 mm and 0.0043 mm, respectively, and the RMSs of x-axis tilt and y-axis tilt are 0.0177 mrad and 0.0031 mrad, respectively. The simulation results show that this method is more precise than the traditional sensitivity matrix method..

The system consiDue to the lack of large scale technology of infrared focal plane arrays and the conflict between the wide field-of-view and high resolution for a single aperture infrared detection system, an infrared imaging system with wide field-of-view and high resolution based on compression sensing was designed. The system consists of the objective lens and the relay lens. Firstly, the imaging objective can image a scene with wide field-of-view and high resolution. Secondly, the relay lens images the image surface of a single image modulated by a spatial light modulator. Finally, the scene image received by detector arrays can be restored by image reconstruction algorithm. The design results show that the working wavelength of the system is 3.8‒4.8 μm, and the objective lens has large numerical aperture of F/1.999.

By analyzing the photoelectric imaging process of the target under the starry sky scene, the space-based space target scene imaging simulation system is designed based on surface target imaging, and a method is proposed for increasing the sampling range of secondary reflected light according to the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) properties of the materials used on the satellite surface. Using the reflection distribution of solar panel material and polyimide film, the light concentration areas with vertex angles of 10° and 15° were determined for Monte Carlo sampling. The target imaging module includes two modes: real-time and high-quality. When the real-time imaging mode is selected, the designed system directly contacts the OpenGL pipeline for rendering and obtains an imaging frequency of over 35 Hz. When the high-quality imaging mode is enabled, the image is captured using the improved twice-sampled ray-tracing technique. The imaging effect is accurate, as is the shadow display. The imaging and monitoring of space targets are simulated by using the designed system against a background of stars, which can serve as a certain reference for the design of a space-based optical camera..

TPhotoacoustic tomography is a noninvasive medical imaging technology. It has many advantages over other imaging methods and provides a new imaging idea for early diagnosis of tumors. The analysis and denoising of photoacoustic signals can improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and imaging quality of imaging systems. Thus, an intelligent denoising algorithm for photoacoustic signals is proposed. First, the adaptive white-noise complete set empirical mode decomposition was used to decompose the photoacoustic signal. Second, the wavelet threshold denoising method was used to complete the high-frequency denoising of the specific mode photoacoustic signal. Finally, the preprocessed photoacoustic signal was reconstructed sparsely by K-singular value decomposition to realize the intelligent denoising of photoacoustic signals. The simulation and experimental results show that when compared with other denoising algorithms, the SNR and root mean square error (RMSE) of the image obtained by the proposed algorithm improved. It can effectively remove the noise and artifacts in the three-dimensional tumor phantom photoacoustic reconstruction image and retain the edge information of the image. The proposed intelligent denoising algorithm can adaptively complete denoising according to the characteristics of noisy photoacoustic signals and achieve better denoising effects, which can be used as an auxiliary method for photoacoustic imaging..

To solve these probThe existing multiexposure fusion methods generally only determine the weight image according to the characteristics of each image. The fusion image has some problems, such as partial information loss and unclear details, especially during strong light in the image, producing nonideal fusion result. To solve these problems, a multiexposure image fusion method based on the entire sequence of image feature weights is proposed. First, the method determines the local brightness weight reflecting the importance of the brightness of each pixel in the image itself, the global brightness weight reflecting the importance of the brightness of each pixel in the whole sequence of the image, and the gradient weight reflecting the importance of the local gradient of each pixel in the whole sequence of the image; then the fused image is obtained according to the weight. Multiexposure image sequences containing various scenes were selected as the experimental data. The results show that the average multiexposure fusion structure similarity (MEF-SSIM) of the proposed method reaches 0.980, the average information entropy reaches 7.652, while the average running time is only 1.34 s. Compared with traditional methods and deep learning methods, the fusion image obtained by the proposed method has clear details, rich information, natural performance, more similar to the visual effect of the human eye, the fusion effect is better..

However, in practical applications, the values of the bright channel and the dark channel of an image are not distributed on 1 and 0 as theoretically researched. This paper proposes a blind image restoration algorithm that combines Dual-CP, L0 regularization strength, and gradient prior, wherein an effective optimization algorithm is derived using semi-quadratic splitting method to solve the nonconvex L0 minimization problem. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has better intuitive description recovery capabilities, and on the benchmark dataset presented by Levin et al., Köhler et al., and Lai et al., the average peak signal-to-noise ratio increased by 2.1051 dB, 1.1273 dB, and 0.4491 dB, respectively, and the average structural similarity increased by 0.1302, 0.0599, and 0.0158, respectively..

In addition, it proposes a new featThis study implements a feature extraction based on piecewise linear Morse theory to solve the problems of incomplete feature recognition in traditional surface feature extraction algorithms, complex topological relationship construction, and difficulty in topological simplification. In addition, it proposes a new feature importance measurement index for topological simplification. Firstly, critical points are identified to form critical lines, which generates Morse-Smale complex to complete the construction of surface topological features. Thereafter, a new feature importance metric is proposed using the average eigenvalue of Morse-Smale complex to backcalculate the eigenvalues of critical points, making a double evaluation of the feature importance of this complex. Finally, the simplification and the expression of the topological features of the surface are realized based on the metric. The experimental results show that the surface features are extracted and a good topology structure is constructed. The feature extraction point cloud compression rate reaches 36.29%, and the topology simplified point cloud compression rate reaches 70.73%. This considerably reduces the massive point cloud data and eliminates redundant topology, laying a good data foundation for the subsequent expression and the application of surface point clouds..

Recently, there has been an increasing need for an effective and intelligent target detection technology to realize the intelligent detection and recognition of pedestrians, vehicles, and other targets, and improve the intelligence level of unmanned driving, urban management, and other applications. Thus, to solve the lack of information in the use of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) for 3D target detection, this paper proposes a multimodal information fusion-based multitarget detection algorithm. The network model comprises three modules: LiDAR point cloud data processing module, 2D image data processing module, and information fusion and detection module. The first two extracted the point cloud and RGB image features, respectively, whereas the information fusion and detection module merged the three- and two-dimensional feature maps according to the corresponding positions to mitigate the lack of information in the monomodal data and achieve the complementarity of the feature level. The fused feature map generated the target detection frame using the three- and two-dimensional area generation networks and adopted the post-fusion strategy to fuse the detection frames of both modes to obtain the final target detection result. KITTI and VOC2007 datasets were used for evaluation and analysis. Experimental results demonstrated the superiority of the proposed algorithm..

To increase the efficiency of the graph cut approach in iterative optimization of 3D labels, we conduct optimization on the superpixel structure, adding the hypothesis of current label state throughout the iteration to expand the label candidates, which improves label search efficiency. Experiments on the Middlebury2014 dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach has a lower average error rate (8.31%) than the LocalExp algorithm (8.39%), and the average processing time for single image is ~70% that of the LocalExp algorithm..

The flying bird stabilized sighting algorithms in the system consists of target detection, target tracking, and servo control algorithm. To solve these drawbacks, we applied a simple and effective nearest neighbor classifier in the tracking process to confirm the tracking target for improving tracking stability and mitigating the lack of target loss judgment in the classical kernelized correlation filter (KCF) tracking algorithm. Furthermore, we replaced the concatenated histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features in the original KCF algorithm with a feature map of approximate size in the middle layer of the depth network to solve the weak discrimination of the HOG feature in the KCF method. This strategy enhances the discrimination of target features while avoiding extracting depth features block by block. Experimental results show that the proposed laser bird-repelling robot system accurately stimulates and interferes with flying birds, and its detection performance and tracking performance outperform other algorithms. The proposed system serves as an effective and safe stimulus signal bird-repelling scheme in airports..

In this paper, based on the computer vision technology and deep learning method, an automatic extraction method for the gait parameters of quadruped walking is established. At first, the walking image frames of quadrupeds can be obtained from the collected quadruped walking videos by using the video frame decomposition technology. Next, the moving object can be extracted via the improved semantic segmentation model DeeplabV3+. Then, according to the characteristic analysis of quadruped walking gait, the detection and matching of the motion corners can be realized based on the distance from the center point to the contour of the object. Finally, a method based on the distance from four limb motion corners to a fixed reference point is established to effectively solve the problem of quadruped motion feature parameter extraction. The experimental results show that the proposed method can give better results for the motion corner detection of quadrupeds. The maximum error is 32, 27, and 19 pixel in the motion corner detection for rhino, buffalo, and alpaca, respectively. The corners of four limbs match accurately. The results also show that the calculation error of the gait cycle and gait frequency is less than 2%, the gait sequence output is correct, and the maximum calculation error of the stride length is 2.85%..

In the standard measurement method, the various sensors of the UAV device generated considerable data errors due to the influence of the UAV. As the existing visual measurement methods are affected by light and have limited recognition accuracy of marking spots, a method for UAV attitude angle measurement based on laser projection and vision is proposed.

The proposed method removes nonground points from the point cloud data and constrains the marked point process model by the density of the crown point cloud of the trees. First, the triangulation network processing densification filtering algorithm is used to separate the ground and nonground points from the LiDAR point cloud data. Second, for nonground point data, the process model of spatial distribution identification points of landscape tree is defined and the geometry of landscape tree in ground projection area is described by a circle. The geometric model of tree crown projection area is defined, and the elevation distribution model is built using the elevation distribution characteristics of landscape tree and nontree area data points. Accordingly, an elevation constraint model is built based on the spatial density characteristics of the crown point cloud of the trees. The landscape tree extraction model is established using Bayesian theory integrating the above models, and the extraction model is simulated using the Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Finally, the optimal landscape tree extraction results are obtained based on the maximum a posteriori probability criterion. The experimental results show that the proposed method’s overall accuracy of the landscape tree extraction is high and the overall extraction rate and accuracy are greater than 90%. It can also achieve high accuracy for the landscape tree extraction results of complex scenes with high recognition difficulty..

To solve the universal reconstruction and low-quality interference problems in the generation-based anomaly detection algorithm, a new image anomaly detection algorithm is proposed based on the autoencoder network. First, the latent features are transformed into continuous and discrete features, namely block descriptive and hash features. Hash features have binarization characteristics; it can avoid under-sampling of latent space, thereby the problem of universal reconstruction can be effectively solved. Second, Based on the coupling relationship of discrete-continuous features, the graph shrinkage method is used to establish the block similarity matrix which constructs the association between hash and description features. Then the interblock reconstruction method is proposed to ensure high-quality reconstruction of the image and solving the problem of low-quality interference. Experiments on the international public dataset, MVTec AD, prove that the accuracy of the proposed algorithm is better than the present anomaly detection algorithms..

Then, these images were decomposed and reconstructed using fast discrete shear wave transform to obtain subimages containing roughness, waviness, and shape error. Furthermore, the gray-level co-occurrence matrix was used to describe the characteristics of the subimages' roughness. The variation rules of four characteristic parameters, namely, energy, correlation, contrast, and homogeneity, were obtained for the fatigue damage process. In addition, a series of decomposition layers were taken for multiresolution analysis, and the effects of different decomposition layers on the values of the above-mentioned characteristic parameters were compared and analyzed. Results show that the increasing fatigue cycles decrease the energy and homogeneity values and increase contrast values. The above characteristic values are related to the selection of extraction directions. Before fatigue fracture, the energy and homogeneity values suddenly increase, whereas the contrast value sharply decreases. Thus, a support vector machine classification model was constructed based on the three features, including contrast, energy, and homogeneity, and was used for fatigue damage state assessment of components..

However, most biological tissues are anisotropic, and the absorption coefficients of light with different polarization states differ, limiting the use of photoacoustic imaging technology in some clinical diagnosis and treatment with polarization requirements. Based on this, a photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) probe with an adjustable polarization angle is designed, and a polarization PACT system is built to provide an imaging basis for intraoperative polarization tissue detection. Non-polarization maintaining fiber guides and transmits the excitation light. It is polarized by a polarizer after a series of lens shapings, and the polarization angle of the excitation light is adjusted by a half-wave plate to excite the acoustic signal. In the experiment, through multiple polarized photoacoustic imaging experiments on polarizers with different optical axis directions and different depths in scattering media, the optical axis direction detection and depth imaging of polarizers are successfully realized. Furthermore, the structural information of the bovine tendon is successfully extracted by using the excitation light of two orthogonal polarization angles to the photoacoustic image of the bovine tendon, and the imaging ability and anisotropy detection performance of the designed handheld polarized photoacoustic imaging probe and polarization pact system are verified. It is expected to provide an imaging basis for the intraoperative diagnosis and treatment of anisotropic biological tissues (such as nerves and tendons)..

First, the green channel of the retinal blood vessel image is selected by using histogram equalization, median filter denoising, top hat transformation, and other methods for image enhancement. Then, multidirectional Cake filtering is performed on the enhanced image. The filtered results are fused to weaken the noise in the background and enhance the contrast between the blood vessel and background. Finally, the vector field divergence method is used to extract the threshold, and the image is segmented to obtain the final retinal vessel segmentation result. The algorithms are tested on the public DRIVE and STARE datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is simple and effective and adapts to the complex and changeable characteristics of retinal blood vessel scale information. The proposed algorithm can also handle the junction of complex blood vessels and has higher sensitivity, shorter execution time, and higher efficiency than other algorithms..

To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new deblurring algorithm based on the remote sensing image sequence with different integration time obtained in one shooting process. This algorithm used contour edge information extracted from short integration time images to guide the estimation of the blurred kernel of the adjacent long integration time images. Furthermore, the algorithm simplified the complexity of the single blurred kernel estimation through the idea of segmented solution. Additionally, the algorithm used the convolution operation to reconstruct the segmented blurred kernel, which greatly improved the accuracy of the blurred kernel estimation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm effectively improves the accuracy of blurred kernel estimation and significantly improves the clarity of blurred remote sensing images after deblurring..

Since LiDAR point cloud is nearly dense and far sparse, the grid's size has a direct effect on the accuracy of obstacle detection based on a grid map. In this study, a variable size grid map with a linear increase of grid size is established. The grid is divided and clustered using the height difference discrimination method and eight-neighborhood connected component marking approach, and the obstacle information is extracted using a box model, yielding a more accurate obstacle detection result. The proposed method can effectively solve the problems of grid division and poor clustering effect in traditional approaches for the detection of small and medium fishing boats near shore, according to the results of a real ship experiment conducted at sea that compared the processing results of the proposed method with the traditional approach. The proposed method provides more accurate and real-time detection of obstacles at sea, as well as data support for unmanned ship obstacle avoidance..

We propose a multifeature fusion dynamic graph convolutional neural network based on spatial attention to solve the challenges mentioned above. First, on the basis of edge geometric feature extraction, the low-dimensional geometric features of point cloud are mapped to the high-dimensional feature space to obtain the rich shape information. The multilayer perceptron is used to extract the global high-dimensional features of points. Then, a spatial attention mechanism is introduced to extract contextual semantic features between points. Finally, geometric features and high-level semantic information are effectively fused to enrich the representation of global and local features. The proposed network is tested on several public datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed network has achieved superior performance in object classification, part segmentation, and semantic segmentation..

First, the 2D boundary points of the tunnel are extracted using boundary grid and angle constraints. Then, the boundary points are fitted using iterative least squares with multi-conditional constraints to extract horizontal and lateral midline points. Next, the lateral midline points are orthographically projected on the vertical curved surface containing the horizontal midline to obtain the 3D axis points. Finally, the infinitesimal method is used to calculate the normal plane equation corresponding to the 3D axis points and a point cloud with a certain thickness on both sides of the normal plane is projected onto this plane to extract tunnel cross-sections. The experimental results show that the proposed method can extract the 3D axis and cross-sections of the tunnel point cloud with high accuracy. Furthermore, the cross-sections extraction error is less than 3.06%; thus, the proposed method is applicable for straight and curved tunnels with varying longitudinal slopes..

In the experiment, five kinds of oil samples including mixed oil samples were selected. The laser induced fluorescence system built in the experiment was used to collect 500 groups of data, 400 groups of spectral data were randomly selected as the training set, and the remaining 100 groups of spectral data were used as the test set. After comparison, the stack autoencoder algorithm with better performance was selected to extract the features of the obtained fluorescence spectral data, and then the extreme learning machine was used for classification and recognition.

First, obtain the near infrared sThe moisture content of millet is an important indicator to measure the quality of millet. To detect millet moisture content, the two-dimensional correlation spectra of samples with different moisture contents are studied with millet moisture content as the external disturbance factor. First, obtain the near infrared spectra of 60 samples, and then, using four different preprocessing methods, create a partial least square regression (PLSR) model of sample moisture content based on the full-band spectra. Following the comparison, it is determined that the model with no preprocessing has the best effect. The calibration set coefficient of determination (Rc2) is 0.9460, root mean square error (RMSEC) is 0.49%, prediction set coefficient of determination (Rp2) is 0.9391, and root means square error (RMSEP) is 0.63%. Further, taking the moisture content of millet as the external disturbance factor, the spectral data of different moisture content gradients of millet is analyzed by two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy, and the wavelengths of the six autocorrelation peaks of the two-dimensional correlation synchronization spectrum are selected, and 1083, 951, 868, 1314, 1675, and 1865 nm are selected as the characteristic wavelength. Based on this, a millet moisture content prediction model is developed. The wavelength variable is reduced and the model is simplified when compared to full-spectrum data modeling. The correction set's coefficient of determination (Rc2) is 0.952, and the root mean square error (RMSEC) is 0.60%. The prediction set's coefficient of determination (Rp2) is 0.897, and the root mean square error (RMSEP) is 0.63%. The results show that two-dimensional correlation near infrared spectroscopy can predict millet moisture content and extract the characteristic wavelength, which provides a foundation for the design of a special millet moisture detector based on discrete wavelength components..
