As a practical and challenging task, deep learning-based methods have achieved effective results for fabric defect detection, however, most of them mainly target detection accuracy at the expense of detection speed. Therefore, we propose a fabric defect detection method called PEI-YOLOv5. First, Particle Depthwise Convolution (PDConv) is proposed to extract spatial features more efficiently while reducing redundant computations and memory access, reducing model computation and improving detection speed. Second, Enhance-BiFPN(EB) is proposed based on the structure of BiFPN to enhance the attention of spatial and channel feature maps and the fusion of information at different scales. Third, we improve the loss function and propose IN loss, which improves the problem that the original IOU loss is weak in detecting small targets while speeding up the convergence of the model. Finally, five more common types of defects were selected for training in the GuangDong TianChi fabric defect dataset, and using our proposed PEI-YOLOv5 with only 0.2 Giga Floating Point Operations (GFLOPs) increase, the mAP improved by 3.61%, reaching 87.89%. To demonstrate the versatility of PEI-YOLOv5, we additionally evaluated this in the NEU surface defect database, with the mAP of 79.37%. The performance of PEI-YOLOv 5 in these two datasets surpasses the most advanced fabric defect detection methods at present. We deployed the model to the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 embedded development board, and the detection speed reached 31 frames per second (Fps), which can fully meet the speed requirements of real-time detection.

In the modern era, the optimization of energy utilization in both industrial production and everyday life represents a critical challenge. This challenge underscores the imperative for innovative technological solutions, with artificial intelligence (AI) standing at the forefront of this transformative wave. Among the myriad advancements, high-performance deep learning frameworks have notably advanced, propelling the widespread adoption of computer vision technologies. Despite these advancements, the quest for enhanced interpretability of deep learning networks remains a concern, as it holds the key to unlocking more transparent AI systems. To address this issue, our study proposed an innovative method called information activation mapping (IAM), aimed at enhancing the interpretability of deep learning classification networks through the advanced gradient-weighted class activation mapping-based approach. By refining and extending existing methods, our technique produces highly detailed highlight maps that illuminate critical areas influencing decision-making processes within the network. This breakthrough not only elevates the network’s interpretability but also serves as a cornerstone for development of more efficient and targeted datasets. Our comprehensive analysis encompassed both the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of data quality, alongside a thorough efficiency analysis of the networks and datasets involved. By doing so, we demonstrate that our proposed IAM method significantly improves the interpretability of deep learning networks, thereby promoting more accurate and effective data processing strategies. This research has profound implications for future of AI, particularly in the realms of sustainable and low-carbon AI of Things (AIoT) systems, by promoting more energy-efficient data processing and contributing to the advancement of eco-friendly technological solutions.

In the era of rapid development of the Internet of things, deep learning, and communication technologies, social media has become an indispensable element. However, while enjoying the convenience brought by technological innovation, people are also facing the negative impact brought by them. Taking the users’ portraits of multimedia systems as examples, with the maturity of deep facial forgery technologies, personal portraits are facing malicious tampering and forgery, which pose a potential threat to personal privacy security and social impact. At present, the deep forgery detection methods are learning-based methods, which depend on the data to a certain extent. Enriching facial anti-spoofing datasets is an effective method to solve the above problem. Therefore, we propose an effective face swapping framework based on StyleGAN. We utilize the feature pyramid network to extract facial features and map them to the latent space of StyleGAN. In order to realize the transformation of identity, we explore the representation of identity information and propose an adaptive identity editing module. We design a simple and effective post-processing process to improve the authenticity of the images. Experiments show that our proposed method can effectively complete face swapping and provide high-quality data for deep forgery detection to ensure the security of multimedia systems.

In the field of ocean energy detection, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) offer significant advantages in terms of manpower, resource, and energy efficiency. However, the unpredictable nature of the ocean environment, particularly the real-time changes in ocean currents, poses navigational risks for AUVs. Therefore, effective path planning in dynamic environments is crucial for AUVs to perform specific tasks. This paper addresses the static path planning problem and proposes a model called the noise net double DQN network with prioritized experience replay (N-DDQNP). The N-DDQNP model combines a noise network and a prioritized experience replay mechanism to address the limited exploration and slow convergence speed issues of the DQN algorithm, which are caused by the greedy strategy and uniform sampling mechanism. The proposed approach involves constructing a double DQN network with a priority experience replay and an exploration mechanism using the noise network. Second, a compound reward function is formulated to take into account ocean current, distance, and safety factors, ensuring prompt feedback during the training process. Regarding the ocean current, the reward function is designed based on the angle between the current direction and the AUV’s heading direction, considering its impact on the AUV’s speed. As for the distance factor, the reward is determined by the Euclidean distance between the current position and the target point. Furthermore, the safety factor considers whether the AUV may collide with obstacles. By incorporating these three factors, the compound reward function is established. To evaluate the performance of the N-DDQNP model, experiments were conducted using real ocean data in various complex ocean environments. The results demonstrate that the path planning time of the N-DDQNP model outperforms other algorithms in different ocean current scenarios and obstacle environments. Furthermore, a user console-AUV connection has been established using spice cloud desktop technology. The cloud desktop architecture enables intuitive observation of the AUV’s navigation posture and the surrounding marine environment, facilitating safer and more efficient underwater exploration and marine resource detection tasks.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has accelerated innovations in medical algorithms, yet its broader adoption faces critical ethical and technical barriers. A key challenge lies in algorithmic bias stemming from heterogeneous medical data across institutions, equipment, and workflows, which may perpetuate disparities in AI-driven diagnoses and exacerbate inequities in patient care. While AI's ability to extract deep features from large-scale data offers transformative potential, its effectiveness heavily depends on standardized, high-quality datasets. Current standardization gaps not only limit model generalizability but also raise concerns about reliability and fairness in real-world clinical settings, particularly for marginalized populations. Addressing these urgent issues, this paper proposes an ethical AI framework centered on a novel self-supervised medical image standardization method. By integrating self-supervised image style conversion, channel attention mechanisms, and contrastive learning-based loss functions, our approach enhances structural and style consistency in diverse datasets while preserving patient privacy through decentralized learning paradigms. Experiments across multi-institutional medical image datasets demonstrate that our method significantly improves AI generalizability without requiring centralized data sharing. By bridging the data standardization gap, this work advances technical foundations for trustworthy AI in healthcare.
