In the vision task of a self-driving system, the use of visible light images to segment an object often loses its functionality at night or in harsh weather. The far-infrared image shows different pixel values according to the thermal radiation quantity of the object itself, so it can be adapted to perform well at night and in harsh weather conditions. However, at the same time, it has insufficient texture features, blurred object boundaries and temperature inversion, which has a great impact on the segmentation task of traditional algorithms. In response to the above problems, this article proposes a far-infrared object segmentation algorithm using deep learning. In the current popular encoding-decoding structure, multi-scale pooling layers are used to obtain receptive fields of different sizes. This is used to solve the effects caused by the blurring of infrared objects. The feature enhancement module is designed for the multi-receptive field feature map, which can filter out the most versatile and highly semantic feature channels to reduce the effect of temperature inversion on segmentation. The obtained high semantic feature map is guided into the decoding structure and is fused with the features obtained by the encoder and the decoder. This allows richer information to be obtained between different feature maps. Finally, we also release a new low-resolution far-infrared segmentation dataset. Experiments are performed on three datasets, and the segmentation result of the mIoU(mean Intersection over Union) reaches 70.59%, 30.98% and 60.67%. A large number of experiments confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the network in far-infrared images and verify that the dataset released in this article has strong reference significance.

Binary features allow for the effective comparison, fast calculation, and compact storage in image matching and localization. Binary feature extraction algorithms, however, tend to have poor mirror invariance, and search algorithms that match binary features have a lower inlier ratio. To address these issues, we employ a scale space pyramid to simulate human eye imaging and then detect FAST (FAST feature detector) points at each level in the pyramid and calculate the FAST point feature's orientation with an image intensity centroid. We propose circumferential binary string mirror invariance rules and a circumferential binary feature (CBF) extraction algorithm to enhance the mirror invariance of binary features, and a fast calculate bitmap (FCBM) algorithm and bitmap local sensitive hash (BMLSH) to improve the inlier ratio of matching binary features. Experiments show that the CBF performs well in mirror invariance and has stronger adaptability and that BMLSH searches inliers more efficiently.

In tasks such as intelligent surveillance and human–computer interaction, developing rapid and effective models for human action recognition is crucial. Currently, Graph Convolution Networks (GCNs) are widely used for skeleton-based action recognition. Still, they primarily face two issues: (1) The insufficient capture of global joint responses, making it difficult to utilize the correlations between all joints. (2) Existing models often tend to be over-parameterized. In this paper, we therefore propose an Efficient Hierarchical Co-occurrence Graph Convolution Network (EHC-GCN). By employing a simple and practical hierarchical co-occurrence framework to adjust the degree of feature aggregation on demand, we first use spatial graph convolution to learn the local features of joints and then aggregate the global features of all joints. Secondly, we introduce depth-wise separable convolution layers to reduce the model parameters. Additionally, we apply a two-stream branch and attention mechanism to further extract discriminative features. On two large-scale datasets, the proposed EHC-GCN achieves better or comparable performance on both 2D and 3D skeleton data to the state-of-the-art methods, with fewer parameters and lower computational complexity, which will be more beneficial for application on computing resource-limited robot platforms.

To address the challenges commonly encountered in civil aircraft operating under multi-mode, strongly coupled closed-loop control—namely scarce fault samples, pronounced distribution shift, and root-cause explanations that are easily confounded by covariates—this paper proposes a root-cause analysis method that integrates ensemble learning with constraint-guided reasoning by large language models (LLMs). First, for Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) monitoring sequences, a feature system comprising environment-normalized ratios, mechanism-informed mixing indices, and multi-scale temporal statistics is constructed, thereby improving cross-mode comparability and enhancing engineering-semantic expressiveness. Second, in the anomaly detection stage, a cost-sensitive LightGBM model is adopted and a validation-set-based adaptive thresholding strategy is introduced to achieve robust identification under highly imbalanced fault conditions. Furthermore, for Root Cause Analysis (RCA), a “computation–reasoning decoupling” framework is developed: Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) are used to generate segment-level contribution evidence, while causal chains, engineering prohibitions, and structured output templates are injected into prompts to constrain the LLM, enabling it to infer root-cause candidates and produce structured explanations under mechanism-consistency constraints. Experiments on real flight data demonstrate that our method yields an anomaly detection F1-score of 0.9577 and improves overall RCA accuracy to 97.1% (versus 62.3% for a pure SHAP baseline). Practically, by translating complex high-dimensional data into actionable natural language diagnostic reports, the proposed method provides reliable and interpretable decision support for rapid RCA.
