Traditional methods based on color, shape, or texture are less effective. The proposed solution uses machine learning to handle high-dimensional image features, reducing computational complexity and mitigating issues caused by artifacts or noise. It employs a genetic algorithm for feature reduction and a hybrid residual UNet(HResUNet) model for Region-of-Interest(ROI) segmentation and classification, with enhanced image preprocessing. The study examines various loss functions, finding that a hybrid loss function yields superior results, and the GA-HResUNet model outperforms the HResUNet. Comparative analysis with state-of-the-art models shows a 4% improvement in retrieval accuracy.展开更多

Data were collected from a survey of 198 respondents, categorized by their discipline, schooling background, internet usage, and information retrieval preferences. Key findings indicate that females are more likely to plan their searches in advance and prefer structured methods of information retrieval, such as using library portals and leading university websites. Males, however, tend to use web search engines and self-archiving methods more frequently. This analysis provides valuable insights for educational institutions and libraries to optimize their resources and services based on user behavior patterns.展开更多

Existing indoor l...The task of indoor visual localization, utilizing camera visual information for user pose calculation, was a core component of Augmented Reality (AR) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Existing indoor localization technologies generally used scene-specific 3D representations or were trained on specific datasets, making it challenging to balance accuracy and cost when applied to new scenes. Addressing this issue, this paper proposed a universal indoor visual localization method based on efficient image retrieval. Initially, a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) was employed to aggregate features from intermediate layers of a convolutional neural network, obtaining a global representation of the image. This approach ensured accurate and rapid retrieval of reference images. Subsequently, a new mechanism using Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) was designed to resolve relative pose ambiguity caused by the essential matrix decomposition based on the five-point method. Finally, the absolute pose of the queried user image was computed, thereby achieving indoor user pose estimation. The proposed indoor localization method was characterized by its simplicity, flexibility, and excellent cross-scene generalization. Experimental results demonstrated a positioning error of 0.09 m and 2.14° on the 7Scenes dataset, and 0.15 m and 6.37° on the 12Scenes dataset. These results convincingly illustrated the outstanding performance of the proposed indoor localization method.展开更多

Effective pain management during and after TVOR is essential, particularly since anesthesia may influence oocyte quality and treatment outcomes. This case report aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of 35 kDa hyaluronan fragments (HA35) to manage TVOR-associated pain. A 40-year-old patient with infertility underwent two TVOR procedures ten months apart under nearly identical preparatory conditions, including a subcutaneous injection of recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin to stimulate oocyte maturation. During the first procedure, pain management consisted of diclofenac sodium suppositories alone, while the second procedure included additional subcutaneous and topical HA35 administration alongside diclofenac sodium. The primary outcome measured was the patient’s self-reported pain level on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), alongside secondary indicators of postoperative recovery and discomfort. Results demonstrated that the addition of HA35 reduced the patient’s pain score by half, shortened the duration of pain, significantly improved comfort, and prevented postoperative bleeding, allowing for immediate discharge. This case suggests that HA35 may offer an effective, low-risk approach to enhance analgesia, reduce side effects, and improve patient recovery in TVOR procedures.展开更多

Effective video frame sampling plays a crucial role in improving retrieval performance, as it determines the quality of the visual content representation. Traditional sampling methods, such as uniform sampling and optical flow-based techniques, often fail to capture the full semantic range of videos, leading to redundancy and inefficiencies. In this work, we propose CLIP4Video-Sampling: Global Semantics-Guided Multi-Granularity Frame Sampling for Video-Text Retrieval, a global semantics-guided multi-granularity frame sampling strategy designed to optimize both computational efficiency and retrieval accuracy. By integrating multi-scale global and local temporal sampling and leveraging the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) model’s powerful feature extraction capabilities, our method significantly outperforms existing approaches in both zero-shot and fine-tuned video-text retrieval tasks on popular datasets. CLIP4Video-Sampling reduces redundancy, ensures keyframe coverage, and serves as an adaptable pre-processing module for multimodal models.展开更多

Image retrieval system was developed purposely to provide an efficient tool for a set of images from a collection of images in the database that matches the user’s requirements in similarity evaluations such as image content similarity, edge, and color similarity. Retrieving images based on the content which is color, texture, and shape is called content based image retrieval (CBIR). The content is actually the feature of an image and these features are extracted and used as the basis for a similarity check between images. The algorithms used to calculate the similarity between extracted features. There are two kinds of content based image retrieval which are general image retrieval and application specific image retrieval. For the general image retrieval, the goal of the query is to obtain images with the same object as the query. Such CBIR imitates web search engines for images rather than for text. For application specific, the purpose tries to match a query image to a collection of images of a specific type such as fingerprints image and x-ray. In this paper, the general architecture, various functional components, and techniques of CBIR system are discussed. CBIR techniques discussed in this paper are categorized as CBIR using color, CBIR using texture, and CBIR using shape features. This paper also describe about the comparison study about color features, texture features, shape features, and combined features (hybrid techniques) in terms of several parameters. The parameters are precision, recall and response time. </div>展开更多

文摘Remote sensing cross-modal image-text retrieval(RSCIR)can flexibly and subjectively retrieve remote sensing images utilizing query text,which has received more researchers’attention recently.However,with the increasing volume of visual-language pre-training model parameters,direct transfer learning consumes a substantial amount of computational and storage resources.Moreover,recently proposed parameter-efficient transfer learning methods mainly focus on the reconstruction of channel features,ignoring the spatial features which are vital for modeling key entity relationships.To address these issues,we design an efficient transfer learning framework for RSCIR,which is based on spatial feature efficient reconstruction(SPER).A concise and efficient spatial adapter is introduced to enhance the extraction of spatial relationships.The spatial adapter is able to spatially reconstruct the features in the backbone with few parameters while incorporating the prior information from the channel dimension.We conduct quantitative and qualitative experiments on two different commonly used RSCIR datasets.Compared with traditional methods,our approach achieves an improvement of 3%-11% in sumR metric.Compared with methods finetuning all parameters,our proposed method only trains less than 1% of the parameters,while maintaining an overall performance of about 96%.

文摘Research on mass gathering events is critical for ensuring public security and maintaining social order.However,most of the existing works focus on crowd behavior analysis areas such as anomaly detection and crowd counting,and there is a relative lack of research on mass gathering behaviors.We believe real-time detection and monitoring of mass gathering behaviors are essential formigrating potential security risks and emergencies.Therefore,it is imperative to develop a method capable of accurately identifying and localizing mass gatherings before disasters occur,enabling prompt and effective responses.To address this problem,we propose an innovative Event-Driven Attention Network(EDAN),which achieves image-text matching in the scenario of mass gathering events with good results for the first time.Traditional image-text retrieval methods based on global alignment are difficult to capture the local details within complex scenes,limiting retrieval accuracy.While local alignment-based methods aremore effective at extracting detailed features,they frequently process raw textual features directly,which often contain ambiguities and redundant information that can diminish retrieval efficiency and degrade model performance.To overcome these challenges,EDAN introduces an Event-Driven AttentionModule that adaptively focuses attention on image regions or textual words relevant to the event type.By calculating the semantic distance between event labels and textual content,this module effectively significantly reduces computational complexity and enhances retrieval efficiency.To validate the effectiveness of EDAN,we construct a dedicated multimodal dataset tailored for the analysis of mass gathering events,providing a reliable foundation for subsequent studies.We conduct comparative experiments with other methods on our dataset,the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of EDAN.In the image-to-text retrieval task,EDAN achieved the best performance on the R@5 metric,while in the text-to-image retrieval task,it showed superior results on both R@10 and R@5 metrics.Additionally,EDAN excelled in the overall Rsummetric,achieving the best performance.Finally,ablation studies further verified the effectiveness of event-driven attention module.

文摘The Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager(AGRI)is a mission-critical instrument for the Fengyun series of satellites.AGRI acquires full-disk images every 15 min and views East Asia every 5 min through 14 spectral bands,enabling the detection of highly variable aerosol optical depth(AOD).Quantitative retrieval of AOD has hitherto been challenging,especially over land.In this study,an AOD retrieval algorithm is proposed that combines deep learning and transfer learning.The algorithm uses core concepts from both the Dark Target(DT)and Deep Blue(DB)algorithms to select features for the machinelearning(ML)algorithm,allowing for AOD retrieval at 550 nm over both dark and bright surfaces.The algorithm consists of two steps:①A baseline deep neural network(DNN)with skip connections is developed using 10 min Advanced Himawari Imager(AHI)AODs as the target variable,and②sunphotometer AODs from 89 ground-based stations are used to fine-tune the DNN parameters.Out-of-station validation shows that the retrieved AOD attains high accuracy,characterized by a coefficient of determination(R2)of 0.70,a mean bias error(MBE)of 0.03,and a percentage of data within the expected error(EE)of 70.7%.A sensitivity study reveals that the top-of-atmosphere reflectance at 650 and 470 nm,as well as the surface reflectance at 650 nm,are the two largest sources of uncertainty impacting the retrieval.In a case study of monitoring an extreme aerosol event,the AGRI AOD is found to be able to capture the detailed temporal evolution of the event.This work demonstrates the superiority of the transfer-learning technique in satellite AOD retrievals and the applicability of the retrieved AGRI AOD in monitoring extreme pollution events.
文摘This study introduces the Orbit Weighting Scheme(OWS),a novel approach aimed at enhancing the precision and efficiency of Vector Space information retrieval(IR)models,which have traditionally relied on weighting schemes like tf-idf and BM25.These conventional methods often struggle with accurately capturing document relevance,leading to inefficiencies in both retrieval performance and index size management.OWS proposes a dynamic weighting mechanism that evaluates the significance of terms based on their orbital position within the vector space,emphasizing term relationships and distribution patterns overlooked by existing models.Our research focuses on evaluating OWS’s impact on model accuracy using Information Retrieval metrics like Recall,Precision,InterpolatedAverage Precision(IAP),andMeanAverage Precision(MAP).Additionally,we assessOWS’s effectiveness in reducing the inverted index size,crucial for model efficiency.We compare OWS-based retrieval models against others using different schemes,including tf-idf variations and BM25Delta.Results reveal OWS’s superiority,achieving a 54%Recall and 81%MAP,and a notable 38%reduction in the inverted index size.This highlights OWS’s potential in optimizing retrieval processes and underscores the need for further research in this underrepresented area to fully leverage OWS’s capabilities in information retrieval methodologies.

文摘Clothing attribute recognition has become an essential technology,which enables users to automatically identify the characteristics of clothes and search for clothing images with similar attributes.However,existing methods cannot recognize newly added attributes and may fail to capture region-level visual features.To address the aforementioned issues,a region-aware fashion contrastive language-image pre-training(RaF-CLIP)model was proposed.This model aligned cropped and segmented images with category and multiple fine-grained attribute texts,achieving the matching of fashion region and corresponding texts through contrastive learning.Clothing retrieval found suitable clothing based on the user-specified clothing categories and attributes,and to further improve the accuracy of retrieval,an attribute-guided composed network(AGCN)as an additional component on RaF-CLIP was introduced,specifically designed for composed image retrieval.This task aimed to modify the reference image based on textual expressions to retrieve the expected target.By adopting a transformer-based bidirectional attention and gating mechanism,it realized the fusion and selection of image features and attribute text features.Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves a mean precision of 0.6633 for attribute recognition tasks and a recall@10(recall@k is defined as the percentage of correct samples appearing in the top k retrieval results)of 39.18 for composed image retrieval task,satisfying user needs for freely searching for clothing through images and texts.
文摘Crime scene investigation(CSI)image is key evidence carrier during criminal investiga-tion,in which CSI image retrieval can assist the public police to obtain criminal clues.Moreover,with the rapid development of deep learning,data-driven paradigm has become the mainstreammethod of CSI image feature extraction and representation,and in this process,datasets provideeffective support for CSI retrieval performance.However,there is a lack of systematic research onCSI image retrieval methods and datasets.Therefore,we present an overview of the existing worksabout one-class and multi-class CSI image retrieval based on deep learning.According to theresearch,based on their technical functionalities and implementation methods,CSI image retrievalis roughly classified into five categories:feature representation,metric learning,generative adversar-ial networks,autoencoder networks and attention networks.Furthermore,We analyzed the remain-ing challenges and discussed future work directions in this field.
文摘Background A medical content-based image retrieval(CBIR)system is designed to retrieve images from large imaging repositories that are visually similar to a user′s query image.CBIR is widely used in evidence-based diagnosis,teaching,and research.Although the retrieval accuracy has largely improved,there has been limited development toward visualizing important image features that indicate the similarity of retrieved images.Despite the prevalence of 3D volumetric data in medical imaging such as computed tomography(CT),current CBIR systems still rely on 2D cross-sectional views for the visualization of retrieved images.Such 2D visualization requires users to browse through the image stacks to confirm the similarity of the retrieved images and often involves mental reconstruction of 3D information,including the size,shape,and spatial relations of multiple structures.This process is time-consuming and reliant on users'experience.Methods In this study,we proposed an importance-aware 3D volume visualization method.The rendering parameters were automatically optimized to maximize the visibility of important structures that were detected and prioritized in the retrieval process.We then integrated the proposed visualization into a CBIR system,thereby complementing the 2D cross-sectional views for relevance feedback and further analyses.Results Our preliminary results demonstrate that 3D visualization can provide additional information using multimodal positron emission tomography and computed tomography(PETCT)images of a non-small cell lung cancer dataset.
文摘This paper presents an approach to improve medical image retrieval, particularly for brain tumors, by addressing the gap between low-level visual and high-level perceived contents in MRI, X-ray, and CT scans. Traditional methods based on color, shape, or texture are less effective. The proposed solution uses machine learning to handle high-dimensional image features, reducing computational complexity and mitigating issues caused by artifacts or noise. It employs a genetic algorithm for feature reduction and a hybrid residual UNet(HResUNet) model for Region-of-Interest(ROI) segmentation and classification, with enhanced image preprocessing. The study examines various loss functions, finding that a hybrid loss function yields superior results, and the GA-HResUNet model outperforms the HResUNet. Comparative analysis with state-of-the-art models shows a 4% improvement in retrieval accuracy.

文摘With the development of information technology,the online retrieval of remote electronic data has become an important method for investigative agencies to collect evidence.In the current normative documents,the online retrieval of electronic data is positioned as a new type of arbitrary investigative measure.However,study of its actual operation has found that the online retrieval of electronic data does not fully comply with the characteristics of arbitrary investigative measures.The root cause is its inaccurately defined nature due to analogy errors,an emphasis on the authenticity of electronic data at the cost of rights protection,insufficient effectiveness of normative documents to break through the boundaries of law,and superficial inconsistency found in the mechanical comparison with the nature of existing investigative measures causes.The nature of electronic data retrieved online should be defined according to different circumstances.The retrieval of electronic data disclosed on the Internet is an arbitrary investigative measure,and following procedural specifications should be sufficient.When investigators conceal their true identities and enter the cyberspace of the suspected crime through a registered account to extract dynamic electronic data for criminal activities,it is essentially a covert investigation in cyberspace,and they should follow the normative requirements for covert investigations.The retrieval of dynamic electronic data from private spaces is a technical investigative measure and should be implemented in accordance with the technical investigative procedures.Retrieval of remote“non-public electronic data involving privacy”is a mandatory investigative measure,and is essentially a search in the virtual space.Therefore,procedural specifications should be set in accordance with the standards of searching.
文摘This study examines the database search behaviors of individuals, focusing on gender differences and the impact of planning habits on information retrieval. Data were collected from a survey of 198 respondents, categorized by their discipline, schooling background, internet usage, and information retrieval preferences. Key findings indicate that females are more likely to plan their searches in advance and prefer structured methods of information retrieval, such as using library portals and leading university websites. Males, however, tend to use web search engines and self-archiving methods more frequently. This analysis provides valuable insights for educational institutions and libraries to optimize their resources and services based on user behavior patterns.

文摘Deep learning has transformed computational imaging,but traditional pixel-based representations limit their ability to capture continuous multiscale object features.Addressing this gap,we introduce a local conditional neural field(LCNF)framework,which leverages a continuous neural representation to provide flexible object representations.LCNF’s unique capabilities are demonstrated in solving the highly ill-posed phase retrieval problem of multiplexed Fourier ptychographic microscopy.Our network,termed neural phase retrieval(NeuPh),enables continuous-domain resolution-enhanced phase reconstruction,offering scalability,robustness,accuracy,and generalizability that outperform existing methods.NeuPh integrates a local conditional neural representation and a coordinate-based training strategy.We show that NeuPh can accurately reconstruct high-resolution phase images from low-resolution intensity measurements.Furthermore,NeuPh consistently applies continuous object priors and effectively eliminates various phase artifacts,demonstrating robustness even when trained on imperfect datasets.Moreover,NeuPh improves accuracy and generalization compared with existing deep learning models.We further investigate a hybrid training strategy combining both experimental and simulated datasets,elucidating the impact of domain shift between experiment and simulation.Our work underscores the potential of the LCNF framework in solving complex large-scale inverse problems,opening up new possibilities for deep-learning-based imaging techniques.
文摘The task of indoor visual localization, utilizing camera visual information for user pose calculation, was a core component of Augmented Reality (AR) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Existing indoor localization technologies generally used scene-specific 3D representations or were trained on specific datasets, making it challenging to balance accuracy and cost when applied to new scenes. Addressing this issue, this paper proposed a universal indoor visual localization method based on efficient image retrieval. Initially, a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) was employed to aggregate features from intermediate layers of a convolutional neural network, obtaining a global representation of the image. This approach ensured accurate and rapid retrieval of reference images. Subsequently, a new mechanism using Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) was designed to resolve relative pose ambiguity caused by the essential matrix decomposition based on the five-point method. Finally, the absolute pose of the queried user image was computed, thereby achieving indoor user pose estimation. The proposed indoor localization method was characterized by its simplicity, flexibility, and excellent cross-scene generalization. Experimental results demonstrated a positioning error of 0.09 m and 2.14° on the 7Scenes dataset, and 0.15 m and 6.37° on the 12Scenes dataset. These results convincingly illustrated the outstanding performance of the proposed indoor localization method.
文摘Transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR) is a common yet painful procedure in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Effective pain management during and after TVOR is essential, particularly since anesthesia may influence oocyte quality and treatment outcomes. This case report aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of 35 kDa hyaluronan fragments (HA35) to manage TVOR-associated pain. A 40-year-old patient with infertility underwent two TVOR procedures ten months apart under nearly identical preparatory conditions, including a subcutaneous injection of recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin to stimulate oocyte maturation. During the first procedure, pain management consisted of diclofenac sodium suppositories alone, while the second procedure included additional subcutaneous and topical HA35 administration alongside diclofenac sodium. The primary outcome measured was the patient’s self-reported pain level on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), alongside secondary indicators of postoperative recovery and discomfort. Results demonstrated that the addition of HA35 reduced the patient’s pain score by half, shortened the duration of pain, significantly improved comfort, and prevented postoperative bleeding, allowing for immediate discharge. This case suggests that HA35 may offer an effective, low-risk approach to enhance analgesia, reduce side effects, and improve patient recovery in TVOR procedures.
文摘Video-text retrieval (VTR) is an essential task in multimodal learning, aiming to bridge the semantic gap between visual and textual data. Effective video frame sampling plays a crucial role in improving retrieval performance, as it determines the quality of the visual content representation. Traditional sampling methods, such as uniform sampling and optical flow-based techniques, often fail to capture the full semantic range of videos, leading to redundancy and inefficiencies. In this work, we propose CLIP4Video-Sampling: Global Semantics-Guided Multi-Granularity Frame Sampling for Video-Text Retrieval, a global semantics-guided multi-granularity frame sampling strategy designed to optimize both computational efficiency and retrieval accuracy. By integrating multi-scale global and local temporal sampling and leveraging the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) model’s powerful feature extraction capabilities, our method significantly outperforms existing approaches in both zero-shot and fine-tuned video-text retrieval tasks on popular datasets. CLIP4Video-Sampling reduces redundancy, ensures keyframe coverage, and serves as an adaptable pre-processing module for multimodal models.
文摘<div style="text-align:justify;"> Digital image collection as rapidly increased along with the development of computer network. Image retrieval system was developed purposely to provide an efficient tool for a set of images from a collection of images in the database that matches the user’s requirements in similarity evaluations such as image content similarity, edge, and color similarity. Retrieving images based on the content which is color, texture, and shape is called content based image retrieval (CBIR). The content is actually the feature of an image and these features are extracted and used as the basis for a similarity check between images. The algorithms used to calculate the similarity between extracted features. There are two kinds of content based image retrieval which are general image retrieval and application specific image retrieval. For the general image retrieval, the goal of the query is to obtain images with the same object as the query. Such CBIR imitates web search engines for images rather than for text. For application specific, the purpose tries to match a query image to a collection of images of a specific type such as fingerprints image and x-ray. In this paper, the general architecture, various functional components, and techniques of CBIR system are discussed. CBIR techniques discussed in this paper are categorized as CBIR using color, CBIR using texture, and CBIR using shape features. This paper also describe about the comparison study about color features, texture features, shape features, and combined features (hybrid techniques) in terms of several parameters. The parameters are precision, recall and response time. </div>
