This letter concentrates on the challenges of deep learning-based robust image watermarking against print-scanning, print-camera, and screen-shooting attacks for “physical channel transmission”. Given the excellent performance demonstrated by wavelet domain watermarking, in this paper, we incorporate the wavelet integrated convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and propose a Deep Wavelet-domain Watermarking (DWW) model, which is dedicated to embedding watermarks in the wavelet domain rather than the spatial domain of the previous arts. In addition, a frequency-domain enhanced mask loss is developed to increase the loss weight in the high-frequency regions of the image during back-propagation, thereby encouraging the model to embed the message in low-frequency components with priority so as to improve the robustness performance. Experiment results show that the proposed DWW consistently outperforms other state-of-the-art (SOTA) schemes by a clear margin in terms of embedding capacity, imperceptibility, and robustness.

This letter is concerned with efficient design of two-dimensional (2-D) Golay complementary array sets (GCASs) with ideal aperiodic sums for two correlation directions. Two new direct constructions of 2-D GCASs with highly flexible array sizes are proposed. The core idea is to truncate certain columns from large arrays generated by 2-D extended generalized Boolean functions (EGBFs). We show that these 2-D GCASs lead to highly flexible uniform rectangular array (URA) configurations for precoding matrices in omni-directional massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) transmission.

When applying a trained image-text matching model to a new scenario, the performance may largely degrade due to domain shift, which makes it impractical in real-world applications. In this paper, we make the first attempt on adapting the image-text matching model well-trained on a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain in the absence of source data, namely, source-free image-text matching. This task is challenging since it has no direct access to the source data when learning to reduce the doma in shift. To address this challenge, we propose a simple yet effective method that introduces uncertainty-aware learning to generate high-quality pseudo-pairs of image and text for target adaptation. Specifically, starting with using the pre-trained source model to retrieve several top-ranked image-text pairs from the target domain as pseudo-pairs, we then model uncertainty of each pseudo-pair by calculating the variance of retrieved texts (resp. images) given the paired image (resp. text) as query, and finally incorporate the uncertainty into an objective function to down-weight noisy pseudo-pairs for better training, thereby enhancing adaptation. This uncertainty-aware training approach can be generally applied on all existing models. Extensive experiments on the COCO and Flickr30K datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
将训练有素的图像-文本匹配模型应用到新的场景时,其性能可能会因领域转移而大幅下降,这使其在实际应用中变得不切实际。在本文中,我们首次尝试在没有源数据的情况下,将在标注源领域训练有素的图像文本匹配模型应用到无标注的目标领域,即无源图像文本匹配。这项任务极具挑战性,因为它在学习减少转移中的 doma 时无法直接访问源数据。为了应对这一挑战,我们提出了一种简单而有效的方法,即引入不确定性感知学习,生成高质量的图像和文本伪对,用于目标适配。具体来说,我们首先使用预先训练好的源模型从目标领域中检索出几个排名靠前的图像-文本配对作为伪配对,然后以配对图像(或文本)为查询条件,通过计算检索到的文本(或图像)的方差来建立每个伪配对的不确定性模型,最后将不确定性纳入目标函数,以降低噪声伪配对的权重,从而提高训练效果,增强适应性。这种不确定性感知训练方法可普遍应用于所有现有模型。在 COCO 和 Flickr30K 数据集上进行的大量实验证明了所提方法的有效性。

Accurate depth estimation is crucial for various applications that require precise 3D information about the surrounding environment. In this paper, we propose MonoBooster, a feature aggregation architecture to enhance the performance of self-supervised monocular depth estimation. Specifically, we introduce a semi-dense skip connection scheme to aggregate multi-level features extracted from the backbone network. Additionally, we present a novel Cross-Level Attention (CLA) module to fuse the connected features. The CLA module captures spatial correlation using pyramid depth-wise convolution and adaptively extracts channel information from both low-level and high-level features, facilitating the translation from input RGB image to estimated depth map. Experimental results on the KITTI and Make3D datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed MonoBooster. Notably, the MonoBooster architecture is flexible and can be seamlessly integrated into popular backbones, resulting in enhanced depth estimation performance.

Serialized Output Training (SOT) has emerged as the mainstream approach for addressing the multi-talker overlapped speech recognition challenge due to its simplicity. However, SOT encounters cross-domain performance degradation which hinders its application. Meanwhile, traditional domain adaption methods may harm the accuracy of speaker change point prediction evaluated by UD-CER, which is an important metric in SOT. To solve these issues, we propose Pseudo-Labeling based SOT (PL-SOT) for domain adaptation by treating speaker change token ( $< $
