To address the problems of error and omission detection in remote sensing image detection caused by the diverse scale changes of remote sensing object scales and the abundant proportion of small-scale objects, as well as the global and dense distribution of remote sensing objects, a remote sensing image detection improvement method based on YOLOv5-S is proposed. First, according to the characteristics of remote sensing objects, the data enhancement strategy is adopted to expand the dataset samples for the characteristics of remote sensing objects to improve the generalization ability of the model. Second, the contextual transformer module is introduced to the backbone feature extraction network and the feature fusion network to ensure the local feature extraction capability while improving the global information acquisition capability of the model, making full use of the input contextual information and guiding the dynamic attention matrix learning to improve the visual representation ability. Third, based on the original model, a shallow detection scale is added, and then a multiscale complex fusion structure is adopted. Meanwhile, the K-means++ algorithm replaces the original K-means algorithm and then clusters 12 anchor box sizes. Fourth, the efficient intersection over union loss is used to improve the accuracy of the remote sensing object recognition prediction. In the experiment on the on two optical remote sensing image datasets, a comparison with several object detection algorithms based on convolutional neural network is made, the results show that the mAP@0.5 tested on the remote sensing datasets is higher than the original YOLOv5-S. Compared with other models, the detection efficiency is higher, and the problems of small-scale object detection in remote sensing image have been significantly improved.

In the task of camouflaged human target detection, the target is highly integrated with the complex environment background, which is difficult to identify and leads to false detection and missed detection. A detection algorithm MC-YOLOv5s is proposed for the characteristics of camouflaged targets. The algorithm takes YOLOv5s as the basic framework. First, a multispectral channel attention module is embedded in the backbone feature extraction network, which enhances the network’s ability to extract camouflaged target features, weakens the attention to the surrounding background, and effectively improves the algorithm’s antibackground interference. Second, the original upsampling operation is replaced by a lightweight general upsampling operator to achieve effective fusion of high-resolution low-level feature maps and low-resolution high-level feature maps. Finally, the K-means++ clustering method is used to optimize the anchor boxes of the dataset target, and the sizes of the generated priori boxes are allocated to each detection layer, which increases the matching degree between the priori boxes and the actual target boxes, and further improves the detection accuracy of the algorithm. The training and verification were carried out on the military camouflaged personnel dataset (MCPD), the precision (P), recall (R), and mean average precision (mAP) of the MC-YOLOv5s algorithm reached 97.4%, 86.1%, and 94%, respectively. Compared to the original YOLOv5s model, mean average precision (mAP) is increased by 3.7 percentage points. The improved algorithm has better detection effect, is more sensitive to camouflaged targets, and achieves accurate positioning and identification of camouflaged human targets. If the proposed MC-YOLOv5s is applied to personnel search and rescue in complex battlefields and natural disaster environments, it can greatly improve personnel search and rescue efficiency and life survival rate, and reduce the consumption of human and material resources in rescue.
The development of deep learning has brought unprecedented opportunities for automatic acupoint localization, surmounting many limitations of traditional methods and machine learning, and significantly propelling the modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We comprehensively review and analyze relevant research in this field in recent years, and examine the principles, classifications, commonly used datasets, evaluation metrics and application fields of acupoint localization algorithms based on deep learning. We categorize them by body part, algorithm architecture, localization strategy, and image modality, and summarize their characteristics, pros and cons, and suitable application scenarios. Then we sieve out representative datasets of high value and wide application, and detail some key evaluation metrics for better assessment. Finally, we sum up the application status of current automatic acupoint localization technology in various fields, hoping to offer practical reference and guidance for future research and practice.
Infrared and visible image fusion can integrate rich edge details and salient infrared targets, resulting in high-quality images suitable for advanced tasks. However, most available algorithms struggle to fully extract detailed features and overlook the interaction of complementary features across different modal images during the feature fusion process. To address this gap, this study presents a novel fusion method based on multi-scale edge enhancement and a joint attention mechanism (MEEAFusion). Initially, convolution kernels of varying scales were utilized to obtain shallow features with multiple receptive fields unique to the source image. Subsequently, a multi-scale gradient residual block (MGRB) was developed to capture the high-level semantic information and low-level edge texture information of the image, enhancing the representation of fine-grained features. Then, the complementary feature between infrared and visible images was defined, and a cross-transfer attention fusion block (CAFB) was devised with joint spatial attention and channel attention to refine the critical supplemental information. This allowed the network to obtain fused features that were rich in both common and complementary information, thus realizing feature interaction and pre-fusion. Lastly, the features were reconstructed to obtain the fused image. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrated that the MEEAFusion proposed in this research has considerable strengths in terms of rich texture details, significant infrared targets, and distinct edge contours, and it achieves superior fusion performance.

The designed load of most quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) isolators is constant. The isolation performance will drop sharply once the load changes. A novel QZS isolator that can adapt to variable loads is proposed in this paper to improve the range of application of the isolator. The isolator is designed by paralleling the electromagnetic spring (ES), which provides negative stiffness, and the pneumatic spring (PS), which provides positive stiffness. The positive and negative stiffness can be adjusted by changing the pressure and coil current, which provides the possibility for the isolator to adapt to variable loads. This paper derived the conditions for the isolation system to obtain QZS characteristics, proposed the dynamic model of the isolation system, derived and verified the analytical expressions of the amplitude-frequency response and force transmissibility (FT), and discussed the change of FT and displacement transmissibility(DT) under different loads. Theoretical analysis shows that changing the pressure and coil current in the same proportion can maintain the superior low-frequency isolation performance when the load changes, thanks to the preservation of the QZS characteristics of the system after adjusting the pressure and coil current. Finally, the simulation results fg and isolation frequency band over the linear isolation system and PS isolation system. Furthermore, the proposed isolator can be adjusted online.
