Abstract:
In the automatic production, the application of machine vision technology on image pattern recognition is an important task. Realistic image is composed of these basic units such as straight lines, circles and ellipses. But the actual images usually contain noise and other interferences. So the images will have some discontinuous modes. Hough transform is commonly used to detect straight lines, circles or other parametric patterns in noisy images. In practical application, Hough transform requires a large amount of storage space and computation. In the paper, it proposed an efficient coarse-to

Abstract:
Base station signals have been widely studied as a promising navigation and positioning signal. The time and code division-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TC-OFDM) signal is a novel communication and navigation fusion signal that can simultaneously implement communication and positioning services. The TC-OFDM signal multiplexes the pseudorandom noise (PRN) code, called positioning code, and the Chinese mobile multimedia broadcasting (CMMB) signal in the same frequency band. For positioning in the TC-OFDM receiver, it is necessary to acquire and track the PRN code phase and the carr

Abstract:
Text-based person search aims to retrieve the corresponding person images in an image database by virtue of a describing sentence about the person, which poses great potential for various applications such as video surveillance. Extracting visual contents corresponding to the human description is the key to this cross-modal matching problem. Moreover, correlated images and descriptions involve different granularities of semantic relevance, which is usually ignored in previous methods. To exploit the multilevel corresponding visual contents, we propose a pose-guided multi-granularity attention

Abstract:
Rubberized concrete (RC) has attracted more attention these years as it is an economical and environmental-friendly construction material. Normally, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of RC needs to be evaluated before application. In this study, an evolutionary random forest model (BRF) combining random forest (RF) and beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithms was proposed, which can be used for establishing the relationship between UCS of RC and its key variables. A total number of 138 cases were collected from the literature to develop and validate the BRF model. The results showed that

Abstract:
With a widespread use of digital imaging data in hospitals, the size of medical image repositories is increasing rapidly. This causes difficulty in managing and querying these large databases leading to the need of content based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) systems. A major challenge in CBMIR systems is the ?semantic gap? that exists between the low level visual information captured by imaging devices and high level semantic information perceived by the human. Using deep convolution neural network (CNN) to construct the CBMIR system can fully characterize the high level semantic features in

Abstract:
We present a new method for conducting protein structure similarity searches, which improves on the efficiency of some existing techniques. Our method is grounded in the theory of differential geometry on 3D space curve matching. We generate shape signatures for proteins that are invariant, localized, robust, compact, and biologically meaningful. The invariancy of the shape signatures allows us to improve similarity searching efficiency by adopting a hierarchical coarse-to-fine strategy. We index the shape signatures using an efficient hashing-based technique. With the help of this technique w

The state-of-the-art object detection method is complicated with various modules such as backbone, RPN, feature fusion neck and RCNN head, where each module may have different designs and structures. How to leverage the computational cost and accuracy trade-off for the structural combination as well as the modular selection of multiple modules? Neural architecture search (NAS) has shown great potential in finding an optimal solution. Existing NAS works for object detection only focus on searching better design of a single module such as backbone or feature fusion neck, while neglecting the bal

With the acceleration in three-dimensional (3D) high-frame-rate sensing technologies, dense point clouds collected from multiple standpoints pose a great challenge for the accuracy and efficiency of registration. The combination of coarse registration and fine registration has been extensively promoted. Unlike the requirement of small movements between scan pairs in fine registration, coarse registration can match scans with arbitrary initial poses.

The development and research of a new formulation of concrete integrating natural resources such as sands (from dunes and/or quarries) as well as waste from steel factories in the form of granulated slag from blast furnaces lead to the development of new sand concretes for which the improvement of specific properties will lead to a search for an agreement between production cost and performance. The objective of this research is to study the influence of the dosage of the size of the largest aggregate on the workability of sand concretes as well as on the compressive strength at 7 days, 14 day

Abstract:
For the traditional three-axis (3D) configuration of the additive manufacturing (AM) platform, when printing the target model with a multi-branched structure, it is imperative to construct adequate support structures. To eliminate the use of support during the printing process, a non-directional unsupported 3D printing method for five-axis AM is proposed in this paper. By carrying out the K-means clustering algorithm, the coarse partition of the model is obtained, and then the fine decomposition represented by a sequence of separating planes is determined by a local dynamic search adjustment a

Abstract:
Finding similarities between protein structures is a crucial task in molecular biology. Most of the existing tools require proteins to be aligned in order-preserving way and only find single alignments even when multiple similar regions exist. We propose a new seed-based approach that discovers multiple pairs of similar regions. Its computational complexity is polynomial and it comes with a quality guarantee—the returned alignments have both root mean squared deviations (coordinate-based as well as internal-distances based) lower than a given threshold, if such exist.

Abstract:
Due to the fast speed and high efficiency, discriminant correlation filter (DCF) has drawn great attention in online object tracking recently. However, with the improvement of performance, the costs are the increase in parameters and the decline of speed. In this paper, we propose a novel visual tracking algorithm, namely VDCFNet, and combine DCF with a vector convolutional network (VCNN). We replace one traditional convolutional filter with two novel vector convolutional filters in the convolutional stage of our network. This enables our model with few memories (only 59 KB) trained offline to
