The application of deep learning methods to diagnose diseases has become a new research topic in the medical field. In the field of medicine, skin disease is one of the most common diseases, and its visual representation is more prominent compared with the other types of diseases. Accordingly, the use of deep learning methods for skin disease image recognition is of great significance and has attracted the attention of researchers. In this study, we review 45 research efforts on the identification of skin disease by using deep learning technology since 2016. We analyze these studies from the aspects of disease type, data set, data processing technology, data augmentation technology, model for skin disease image recognition, deep learning framework, evaluation indicators, and model performance. Moreover, we summarize the traditional and machine learning-based skin disease diagnosis and treatment methods. We also analyze the current progress in this field and predict four directions that may become the research topic in the future. Our results show that the skin disease image recognition method based on deep learning is better than those of dermatologists and other computer-aided treatment methods in skin disease diagnosis, especially the multi deep learning model fusion method has the best recognition effect.
Network traffic state prediction has been constantly challenged by complex spatiotemporal features of traffic information as well as imperfection in streaming data. This paper proposes a traffic flow prediction model for spatiotemporal graph networks based on fusion of attention mechanisms (STGNN-FAM) to simultaneously tackle these challenges. This model contains a spatial feature extraction layer, a bidirectional temporal feature extraction layer, and an attention fusion layer, which not only fully considers the temporal and spatial features of the traffic flow problem but also uses the attention mechanism to enhance the critical temporal and spatial features to achieve more accurate and robust predictions. Experimental results on a network traffic speed dataset PeMSD7 show that the proposed STGNN-FAM outperforms several important benchmarks in prediction accuracy and the ability to withstand interference in the data stream, especially for mid- and long-term prediction of 30 minutes and 45 minutes.

Accurate pixel-level segmentation of pavement cracks is an essential measurement task for road safety and infrastructure maintenance, as well as for the quantitative measurement of crack morphology that supports condition assessment and maintenance planning. Although deep learning has advanced crack segmentation, existing methods still struggle to capture long, continuous cracks and delineate irregular edges under complex backgrounds, which limits measurement reliability. To address these challenges, we propose HiResCrackNet, a high-resolution segmentation model designed to enhance both segmentation accuracy and measurement robustness. The model employs a high-resolution backbone to preserve fine-grained features, a hierarchical feature adjuster to balance global structure and local detail, and a multi-scale fusion perception module to strengthen cross-level feature integration. In addition, we release BT-Crack2000, a large-scale dataset with diverse and challenging scenarios to support robust model training and benchmarking. Extensive experiments across multiple datasets demonstrate that HiResCrackNet consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, delivering precise crack delineation. These contributions provide a reliable foundation for quantitative pavement evaluation and highlight the potential of intelligent measurement approaches in smart infrastructure management.
Semantic segmentation of 3D point clouds remains difficult when LiDAR or depth-camera data are sampled unevenly. This paper presents DANet, a 3D semantic segmentation framework built on joint density- and semantics-adaptive convolution. Its core operator, Density-Adaptive Radius Convolution (DAR-Conv), predicts point-wise neighborhood radii before feature aggregation by combining density-driven initialization with semantics-aware modulation. In this way, dense regions can use compact receptive fields, whereas sparse or semantically complex regions can draw on broader contextual support. DANet also includes a Gated Adaptive Cross-Layer Fusion (GACF) module, which aligns encoder–decoder features and performs gated fusion with residual refinement. Experiments on S3DIS and NPM3D show that DANet obtains the highest reported mean accuracy (mAcc) among the compared methods on S3DIS, and high mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) and overall accuracy (OA) on NPM3D, supporting the usefulness of density- and semantics-aware receptive-field adaptation.
