The issue of obstacle avoidance and safety for visually impaired individuals has been a major topic of research. However, complex street environments still pose significant challenges for blind obstacle detection systems. Existing solutions often fail to provide real-time, accurate obstacle avoidance decisions. In this study, we propose a blind obstacle detection system based on the PC-CS-YOLO model. The system improves the backbone network by adopting the partial convolutional feed-forward network (PCFN) to reduce computational redundancy. Additionally, to enhance the network’s robustness in multi-scale feature fusion, we introduce the Cross-Scale Attention Fusion (CSAF) mechanism, which integrates features from different sensory domains to achieve superior performance. Compared to state-of-the-art networks, our system shows improvements of 2.0%, 3.9%, and 1.5% in precision, recall, and mAP50, respectively. When evaluated on a GPU, the inference speed is 20.6 ms, which is 15.3 ms faster than YOLO11, meeting the real-time requirements for blind obstacle avoidance systems.
Mitotic figures in tumor tissues are an important criterion for diagnosing malignant lesions, and physicians often search for the presence of mitosis in whole slide imaging (WSI). However, prolonged visual inspection by doctors may increase the likelihood of human error. With the advancement of deep learning, AI-based automatic cytopathological diagnosis has been increasingly applied in clinical settings. Nevertheless, existing diagnostic models often suffer from high computational costs and suboptimal detection accuracy. More importantly, when assessing cellular abnormalities, doctors frequently compare target cells with their surrounding cells—an aspect that current models fail to capture due to their lack of intercellular information modeling, leading to the loss of critical medical insights. To address these limitations, we conducted an in-depth analysis of existing models and propose an Inter–Intra Hypergraph Neural Network (II-HGNN). Our model introduces a block-based feature extraction mechanism to efficiently capture deep representations. Additionally, we leverage hypergraph convolutional networks to process both intracellular and intercellular information, leading to more precise diagnostic outcomes. We evaluate our model on publicly available datasets under varying imaging conditions, and experimental results demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms baseline models in terms of accuracy.
Lane detection is a fundamental perception task for autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems. Although existing methods have achieved promising performance, many of them mainly focus on individual lane instances and insufficiently exploit the structural relationships among lanes, such as relative ordering, geometric continuity, and spatial parallelism. This limitation may lead to broken lanes, ordering errors, and geometric inconsistencies in complex road scenarios. To address these issues, we propose TPDNet, a topology-aware lane detection framework that incorporates structural reasoning into the detection pipeline at three complementary levels. First, a Topology-aware Perception Reasoner (TPR) is introduced at the feature level to capture relational dependencies among lane features and enhance the representation of global road topology. Second, a Topology-Decoupled Head (TDH) is designed at the prediction level to decouple geometric regression from lane classification, thereby reducing task interference and improving prediction stability. Third, a Topology Consistency Loss (TCL) is formulated as a complementary supervision term to encourage smoothness and ordering consistency in predicted lanes. Extensive experiments on three public benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. On CULane, TPDNet achieves an F1@50 of 81.46 with ResNet101 and remains competitive with the strongest compared methods, while showing improved robustness in challenging scenarios such as Curve and Dazzle light. On TuSimple, TPDNet obtains an F1 score of 98.01 among the compared methods, while maintaining competitive accuracy. On CurveLanes, TPDNet achieves an mF1 of 58.74, exceeding the strongest baseline by 4.98 points. These results suggest that topology-aware reasoning can improve the generalization capability of lane detection and help produce more structurally coherent lane predictions under diverse road conditions.
