Aiming at the problems of low accuracy of strawberry fruit picking and large rate of mispicking or missed picking, YOLOv5 combined with dark channel enhancement is proposed. In “Fengxiang” strawberry, the criterion of “bad fruit” is added to the conventional three criteria of ripeness, near-ripeness, and immaturity, because some of the bad fruits are close to the color of ripe fruits, but the fruits are small and dry. The training accuracy of the four kinds of strawberries with different ripeness is above 85%, and the testing accuracy is above 90%. Then, to meet the demand of all-day picking and address the problem of low illumination of images collected at night, an enhancement algorithm is proposed to enhance the images, which are recognized. We compare the actual detection results of the five enhancement algorithms, i.e., histogram equalization, Laplace transform, gamma transform, logarithmic variation, and dark channel enhancement processing under the different numbers of fruits, periods, and video tests. The results show that combined with dark channel enhancement, YOLOv5 has the highest recognition rate. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that YOLOv5 is better than SSD, DSSD, and EfficientDet in terms of recognition accuracy, and the correct rate can reach more than 90%. Meanwhile, the method has good robustness in complex environments such as partial occlusion and multiple fruits.

The widespread adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) technology has brought revolutionary changes to network control and management. Compared to traditional networks, SDN enhances security by separating the control plane from the data plane and replacing the traditional network architecture with a more flexible one. However, due to its inherent architectural flaws, SDN still faces new security threats. This paper expounds on the architecture and security of SDN, analyzes the vulnerabilities of SDN architecture, and introduces common distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks within the SDN architecture. This article also provides a review of the relevant literature on DDoS attack detection and mitigation in the current SDN environment based on the technologies used, including statistical analysis, machine learning, policy-based, and moving target defense techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of these technologies, in terms of deployment difficulty, accuracy, and other factors, are analyzed. Finally, this study summarizes the SDN experimental environment and DDoS attack traffic generators and datasets of the reviewed literature and the limitations of current defense methods and suggests potential future research directions.

Laser active imaging technology has important practical value and broad application prospects in military fields such as target detection, radar reconnaissance, and precise guidance. However, factors such as uneven laser illuminance, atmospheric backscatter, and the imaging system itself will introduce noise, which will affect the quality of the laser active imaging image, resulting in image contrast decline and blurring image edges and details. Therefore, an image denoising algorithm based on homomorphic filtering and total variation cascade is proposed in this paper, which strives to reduce the noise while retaining the edge features of the image to the maximum extent. Firstly, the image type is determined according to the characteristics of the laser image, and then the speckle noise in the low-frequency region is suppressed by adaptive homomorphic filtering. Finally, the image denoising method of minimizing the total variation is adopted for the impulse noise and Gaussian noise. Experimental results show that compared with separate homomorphic filtering, total variation filtering, and median filtering, the proposed algorithm significantly improves the contrast, retains edge details, achieves the expected effect. It can better adjust the image brightness and is beneficial for subsequent processing.

With the increasing scale and complexity of software, the advantages of using neural networks for static vulnerability detection are becoming increasingly prominent. Before inputting into a neural network, the source code needs to undergo word embedding, transforming discrete high-dimensional text data into low-dimensional continuous vectors suitable for training in neural networks. However, analysis has revealed that different implementation ideas by code writers for the same functionality can lead to varied code implementation methods. Embedding different code texts into vectors results in distinctions that can reduce the robustness of a model. To address this issue, this paper explores the impact of converting source code into different forms on word embedding and finds that a TAC (Three-Address Code) can significantly eliminate noise caused by different code implementation approaches. Given the excellent capability of a GNN (Graph Neural Network) in handling non-Euclidean space data and complex features, this paper subsequently employs a GNN to learn and classify vulnerabilities by capturing the implicit syntactic structure information in a TAC. Based on this, this paper introduces TACSan, a novel static vulnerability detection system based on a GNN designed to detect vulnerabilities in C/C++ programs. TACSan transforms the preprocessed source code into a TAC representation, adds control and data edges to create a graph structure, and then inputs it into the GNN for training. Comparative testing and evaluation of TACSan against other renowned static analysis tools, such as VulDeePecker and Devign, demonstrate that TACSan’s detection capabilities not only exceed those methods but also achieve substantial enhancements in accuracy and F1 score.

In order to improve the spatial resolution of multispectral (MS) images and reduce spectral distortion, a segmentation-cooperated pansharpening method using local adaptive spectral modulation (LASM) is proposed in this paper. By using the k-means algorithm for the segmentation of MS images, different connected component groups can be obtained according to their spectral characteristics. For spectral information modulation of fusion images, the LASM coefficients are constructed based on details extracted from images and local spectral relationships among MS bands. Moreover, we introduce a cooperative theory for the pansharpening process. The local injection coefficient matrix and LASM coefficient matrix are estimated based on the connected component groups to optimize the fusion result, and the parameters of the segmentation algorithm are adjusted according to the feedback from the pansharpening result. In the experimental part, degraded and real data sets from GeoEye-1 and QuickBird satellites are used to assess the performance of our proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of our method. Generally, the method is superior to several classic and state-of-the-art pansharpening methods in both subjective visual effect and objective evaluation indices, achieving a balance between the injection of spatial details and maintenance of spectral information, while effectively reducing the spectral distortion of the fusion image.
