Nowadays, object detection methods based on deep learning are applied more and more to the interpretation of optical remote sensing images. However, the complex background and the wide range of object sizes in remote sensing images increase the difficulty of object detection. In this paper, we improve the detection performance by combining the attention information, and generate adaptive anchor boxes based on the attention map. Specifically, the attention mechanism is introduced into the proposed method to enhance the features of the object regions while reducing the influence of the background. The generated attention map is then used to obtain diverse and adaptable anchor boxes using the guided anchoring method. The generated anchor boxes can match better with the scene and the objects, compared with the traditional proposal boxes. Finally, the modulated feature adaptation module is applied to transform the feature maps to adapt to the diverse anchor boxes. Comprehensive evaluations on the DIOR dataset demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the state-of-the-art methods, such as RetinaNet, FCOS and CornerNet. The mean average precision of the proposed method is 4.5% higher than the feature pyramid network. In addition, the ablation experiments are also implemented to further analyze the respective influence of different blocks on the performance improvement.
Underwater ghost imaging based on deep learning can effectively reduce the influence of forward scattering and back scattering of water. With the help of data-driven methods, high-quality results can be reconstructed. However, the training of the underwater ghost imaging requires enormous paired underwater datasets, which are difficult to obtain directly. Although the Cycle-GAN method solves the problem to some extent, the blurring degree of the fuzzy class of the paired underwater datasets generated by Cycle-GAN is relatively unitary. To solve this problem, a few-shot underwater image generative network method is proposed. Utilizing the proposed few-shot learning image generative method, the generated paired underwater datasets are better than those obtained by the Cycle-GAN method, especially under the condition of few real underwater datasets. In addition, to reconstruct high-quality results, an underwater deblurring ghost imaging method is proposed. The reconstruction method consists of two parts: reconstruction and deblurring. The experimental and simulation results show that the proposed reconstruction method has better performance in deblurring at a low sampling rate, compared with existing underwater ghost imaging methods based on deep learning. The proposed reconstruction method can effectively increase the clarity degree of the underwater reconstruction target at a low sampling rate and promotes the further applications of underwater ghost imaging.
The combination of a single-photon avalanche diode detector with a high-sensitivity and photon-efficient reconstruction algorithm can realize the reconstruction of target range image from weak light signal conditions. The limited spatial resolution of the detector and the substantial background noise remain significant challenges in the actual detection process, hindering the accuracy of 3D reconstruction techniques. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a denoising super-resolution reconstruction network based on generative adversarial network (GAN) design. Soft thresholding is incorporated into the deep architecture as a nonlinear transformation layer to effectively filter out noise. Moreover, the Unet-based discriminator is introduced to complete the high-precision detail reconstruction. The experimental results show that the proposed network can achieve high-quality super-resolution range imaging. This approach has the potential to enhance the accuracy and quality of long-range imaging in weak light signal conditions, with broad applications in fields such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and biomedical imaging.
Visual navigation is an important guidance method for industrial automated guided vehicles (AGVs). In the actual guidance, the overexposure environment may be encountered by the AGV lane image, which seriously reduces the accuracy of lane detection. Although the image segmentation method based on deep learning is widely used in lane detection, it cannot solve the problem of overexposure of lane images. At the same time, the requirements of segmentation accuracy and inference speed cannot be met simultaneously by existing segmentation networks. Aiming at the problem of incomplete lane segmentation in an overexposure environment, a lane detection method combining image inpainting and image segmentation is proposed. In this method, the overexposed lane image is repaired and reconstructed by the MAE network, and then the image is input into the image segmentation network for lane segmentation. In addition, a convolutional skip triple attention (CSTA) image segmentation network is proposed. CSTA improves the inference speed of the model under the premise of ensuring high segmentation accuracy. Finally, the lane segmentation performance of the proposed method is evaluated in three image segmentation evaluation metrics (IoU, F1-score, and PA) and inference time. Experimental results show that the proposed CSTA network has higher segmentation accuracy and faster inference speed.
The cooperative imaging of the bistatic radar is an important research topic for missile-borne radar detection. The existing missile-borne radar detection system is mainly based on the target plot information separately extracted by each radar for data level fusion, without considering the gain brought by the cooperative processing of the radar target echo signal. In this paper, a random frequency-hopping waveform is designed for the bistatic radar to achieve efficient motion compensation. A coherent processing algorithm for bistatic echo signals is designed to achieve band fusion and improve the signal quality and range resolution of the radar. Simulation and high-frequency electromagnetic calculation data were used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The reconstruction quality of binary ghost imaging depends on the speckle binarization process. In order to obtain better binarization speckle and improve the reconstruction quality of binary ghost imaging, a local adaptive binarization method based on the fuzzy integral is proposed in this study. There are three steps in the proposed binarization process. The first step is to calculate the integral image of the speckle with the summed-area table algorithm. Secondly, the fuzzy integral image is calculated through the discrete Choquet integral. Finally, the binarization threshold of each pixel of the speckle is selected based on the calculated fuzzy integral result. The experiment results verify the feasibility of the proposed method. Compared with other methods qualitatively and quantitatively, the proposed method has high performance in reconstructing image of target.
