This paper addresses the problem of Facial Expression Recognition (FER), focusing on unobvious facial movements. Traditional methods often cause overfitting problems or incomplete information due to insufficient data and manual selection of features. Instead, our proposed network, which is called the Multi-features Cooperative Deep Convolutional Network (MC-DCN), maintains focus on the overall feature of the face and the trend of key parts. The processing of video data is the first stage. The method of ensemble of regression trees (ERT) is used to obtain the overall contour of the face. Then, the attention model is used to pick up the parts of face that are more susceptible to expressions. Under the combined effect of these two methods, the image which can be called a local feature map is obtained. After that, the video data are sent to MC-DCN, containing parallel sub-networks. While the overall spatiotemporal characteristics of facial expressions are obtained through the sequence of images, the selection of keys parts can better learn the changes in facial expressions brought about by subtle facial movements. By combining local features and global features, the proposed method can acquire more information, leading to better performance. The experimental results show that MC-DCN can achieve recognition rates of 95%, 78.6% and 78.3% on the three datasets SAVEE, MMI, and edited GEMEP, respectively.

Automatic and accurate prostate segmentation is an essential prerequisite for assisting diagnosis and treatment, such as guiding biopsy procedures and radiation therapy. Therefore, this paper proposes a cascaded dual attention network (CDA-Net) for automatic prostate segmentation in MRI scans. The network includes two stages of RAS-FasterRCNN and RAU-Net. Firstly, RAS-FasterRCNN uses improved FasterRCNN and sequence correlation processing to extract regions of interest (ROI) of organs. This ROI extraction serves as a hard attention mechanism to focus the segmentation of the subsequent network on a certain area. Secondly, the addition of residual convolution block and self-attention mechanism in RAU-Net enables the network to gradually focus on the area where the organ exists while making full use of multiscale features. The algorithm was evaluated on the PROMISE12 and ASPS13 datasets and presents the dice similarity coefficient of 92.88% and 92.65%, respectively, surpassing the state-of-the-art algorithms. In a variety of complex slice images, especially for the base and apex of slice sequences, the algorithm also achieved credible segmentation performance.
