The deblurring of flotation froth images significantly aids in the characterization of coal flotation and fault diagnosis. Images of froth acquired at a flotation site contain considerable noise and blurring, making feature extraction and segmentation processing difficult. We present an effective method for deblurring froth images based on disentangled representations. Disentangled representation is achieved by separating the content and blur features in the blurred image using a content encoder and a blur encoder. Then, the separated feature vectors are embedded into a deblurring framework to deblur the froth image. The experimental results show that this method achieves a superior deblurring effect on froth images under various conditions, which lays the foundation for the intelligent adjustment of parameters to guide the flotation site.

Throughout the steel production process, a variety of surface defects inevitably occur. These defects can impair the quality of steel products and reduce manufacturing efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to study and categorize the multiple defects on the surface of steel strips. Vision transformer (ViT) is a unique neural network model based on a self-attention mechanism that is widely used in many different disciplines. Conventional ViT ignores the specifics of brain signaling and instead uses activation functions to simulate genuine neurons. One of the fundamental building blocks of a spiking neural network is leaky integration and fire (LIF), which has biodynamic characteristics akin to those of a genuine neuron. LIF neurons work in an event-driven manner such that higher performance can be achieved with less power. The goal of this work is to integrate ViT and LIF neurons to build and train an end-to-end hybrid network architecture, spiking vision transformer (S-ViT), for the classification of steel surface defects. The framework relies on the ViT architecture by replacing the activation functions used in ViT with LIF neurons, constructing a global spike feature fusion module spiking transformer encoder as well as a spiking-MLP classification head for implementing the classification functionality and using it as a basic building block of S-ViT. Based on the experimental results, our method has demonstrated outstanding classification performance across all metrics. The overall test accuracies of S-ViT are 99.41%, 99.65%, 99.54%, and 99.77% on NEU-CLSs, and 95.70%, 95.93%, 96.94%, and 97.19% on XSDD. S-ViT achieves superior classification performance compared to convolutional neural networks and recent findings. Its performance is also improved relative to the original ViT model. Furthermore, the robustness test results of S-ViT show that S-ViT still maintains reliable accuracy when recognizing images that contain Gaussian noise.
在整个钢铁生产过程中，不可避免地会出现各种表面缺陷。这些缺陷会损害钢铁产品的质量，降低生产效率。因此，对钢带表面的多种缺陷进行研究和分类至关重要。视觉变换器（ViT）是一种基于自我注意机制的独特神经网络模型，被广泛应用于许多不同学科。传统的 ViT 忽略了大脑信号传递的具体细节，而是使用激活函数来模拟真正的神经元。尖峰神经网络的基本构件之一是泄漏整合与发射（LIF），它具有与真正神经元类似的生物动力学特征。LIF 神经元以事件驱动的方式工作，因此能以更低的功耗实现更高的性能。这项工作的目标是整合 ViT 神经元和 LIF 神经元，构建并训练一种端到端混合网络架构--尖峰视觉转换器（S-ViT），用于对钢铁表面缺陷进行分类。该框架以 ViT 架构为基础，用 LIF 神经元替换了 ViT 中使用的激活函数，构建了全局尖峰特征融合模块尖峰变换器编码器和尖峰-MLP 分类头，以实现分类功能，并将其作为 S-ViT 的基本构建模块。根据实验结果，我们的方法在所有指标上都表现出了出色的分类性能。在 NEU-CLS 上，S-ViT 的总体测试准确率分别为 99.41%、99.65%、99.54% 和 99.77%；在 XSDD 上，S-ViT 的总体测试准确率分别为 95.70%、95.93%、96.94% 和 97.19%。与卷积神经网络和最新研究成果相比，S-ViT 的分类性能更为出色。与原始 ViT 模型相比，其性能也有所提高。此外，S-ViT 的鲁棒性测试结果表明，在识别含有高斯噪声的图像时，S-ViT 仍能保持可靠的准确性。

Grasp detection within unstructured environments encounters challenges that lead to a reduced success rate in grasping attempts, attributable to factors including object uncertainty, random positions, and differences in perspective. This work proposes a grasp detection algorithm framework, Swin-transNet, which adopts a hypothesis treating graspable objects as a generalized category and distinguishing between graspable and non-graspable objects. The utilization of the Swin transformer module in this framework augments the feature extraction process, enabling the capture of global relationships within images. Subsequently, the integration of a decoupled head with attention mechanisms further refines the channel and spatial representation of features. This strategic combination markedly improves the system’s adaptability to uncertain object categories and random positions, culminating in the precise output of grasping information. Moreover, we elucidate their roles in grasping tasks. We evaluate the grasp detection framework using the Cornell grasp dataset, which is divided into image and object levels. The experiment indicated a detection accuracy of 98.1% and a detection speed of 52 ms. Swin-transNet shows robust generalization on the Jacquard dataset, attaining a detection accuracy of 95.2%. It demonstrates an 87.8% success rate in real-world grasping testing on a visual grasping system, confirming its effectiveness for robotic grasping tasks.

The visual characteristics of greenhouse-grown tomatoes undergo significant alterations under artificial lighting, presenting substantial challenges in accurately detecting targets. To address the diverse appearances of targets, we propose an improved You Only Look Once Version 5 (YOLOv5) model named BiSR_YOLOv5, incorporating the single-point and regional feature fusion module (SRFM) and the bidirectional spatial pyramid pooling fast (Bi-SPPF) module. In addition, the model adopts SCYLLA-intersection over union loss instead of complete intersection over union loss. Experimental results reveal that the BiSR_YOLOv5 model achieves F1 and mAP@0.5 scores of 0.867 and 0.894, respectively, for detecting truss tomatoes. These scores are 2.36 and 1.82 percentage points higher than those achieved by the baseline YOLOv5 algorithm. Notably, the model maintains a size of 13.8M and achieves real-time performance at 35.1 frames per second. Analysis of detection results for both large and small objects indicates that the Bi-SPPF module, which emphasizes finer feature details, is better suited for detecting small-sized targets. Conversely, the SRFM module, with a larger receptive field, is better suited for detecting larger targets. In summary, the BiSR YOLOv5 test results validate the positive impact of accurate identification on subsequent agricultural operations, such as yield estimation or harvest. This is achieved through the implementation of a simple maturity algorithm that utilizes the process of “finding flaws.”
温室栽培番茄的视觉特征在人工照明下会发生显著变化，这给准确检测目标带来了巨大挑战。针对目标的多样化外观，我们提出了一种改进的 "只看一次 "模型 5（YOLOv5），并将其命名为 BiSR_YOLOv5，该模型融合了单点和区域特征融合模块（SRFM）以及双向空间金字塔池化快速模块（Bi-SPPF）。此外，该模型还采用了 SCYLLA-intersection over union loss，而不是完全相交 over union loss。实验结果表明，BiSR_YOLOv5 模型在检测桁架番茄方面的 F1 和 mAP@0.5 分数分别为 0.867 和 0.894。这些分数比基准 YOLOv5 算法分别高出 2.36 和 1.82 个百分点。值得注意的是，该模型的大小保持在 13.8M，并实现了每秒 35.1 帧的实时性能。对大型和小型物体的检测结果分析表明，Bi-SPPF 模块强调更精细的特征细节，更适合检测小型目标。相反，SRFM 模块的感受野较大，更适合检测较大的目标。总之，BiSR YOLOv5 的测试结果验证了准确识别对后续农业操作（如估产或收割）的积极影响。这是通过实施一种利用 "发现缺陷 "过程的简单成熟算法实现的。

Traditional steganography algorithms use procedures created by human experts to conceal the secret message inside a cover medium. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have recently been used to automate this process. However, GAN based steganography has some limitations. The capacity of these models is limited. By increasing the steganography capacity, security is decreased, and distortion is increased. The performance of the extractor network also decreases with increasing the steganography capacity. In this work, an approach for developing a generator model for image steganography is proposed. The approach involves building a generator model, called the late embedding generator model, in two stages. The first stage of the generator model uses only the flattened cover image, and second stage uses a secret message and the first stage’s output to generate the stego image. Furthermore, a dual-training strategy is employed to train the generator network: the first stage focuses on learning fundamental image features through a reconstruction loss, and the second stage is trained with three loss terms, including an adversarial loss, to incorporate the secret message. The proposed approach demonstrates that hiding data only in the deeper layers of the generator network boosts capacity without requiring complex architectures, reducing computational storage requirements. The efficacy of the proposed approach is evaluated by varying the depth of these two stages, resulting in four generator models. A comprehensive set of experiments was performed on the CelebA dataset, which contains more than 200,000 samples. The results show that the late embedding model performs better than the state-of-the-art models. Also, it increases the steganography capacity to more than four times compared with the existing GAN-based steganography methods. The extracted payload achieves an accuracy of 99.98%, with the extractor model successfully decoding the secret message.
传统的隐写术算法使用人类专家创建的程序将秘密信息隐藏在覆盖介质中。最近，生成对抗网络（GANs）被用来自动完成这一过程。然而，基于生成式对抗网络的隐写术有一些局限性。这些模型的容量有限。通过增加隐写术的容量，安全性会降低，失真会增加。提取网络的性能也会随着隐写术容量的增加而降低。本研究提出了一种开发图像隐写术生成器模型的方法。该方法包括分两个阶段建立一个生成器模型，称为后期嵌入生成器模型。生成器模型的第一阶段只使用扁平化的覆盖图像，第二阶段使用密文和第一阶段的输出来生成隐去图像。此外，还采用了双重训练策略来训练生成器网络：第一阶段侧重于通过重构损失来学习基本图像特征，第二阶段则通过三个损失项（包括对抗损失）来训练，以纳入秘密信息。所提出的方法证明，只在生成器网络的深层隐藏数据可以提高容量，而不需要复杂的架构，从而降低了计算存储要求。通过改变这两个阶段的深度，产生了四种生成器模型，从而评估了所提方法的功效。在包含 20 多万个样本的 CelebA 数据集上进行了一系列综合实验。结果表明，后期嵌入模型的性能优于最先进的模型。同时，与现有的基于 GAN 的隐写方法相比，它将隐写能力提高了四倍多。提取有效载荷的准确率达到 99.98%，提取模型成功解码了秘密信息。

The absorption by a water body and the scattering of suspended particles cause blurring of object features, which results in a reduced accuracy of underwater salient object detection (SOD). Thus, we propose a polarization spatial and semantic learning lightweight network for underwater SOD. The proposed method is based on a lightweight MobileNetV2 network. Because lightweight networks are not as capable as deep networks in capturing and learning features of complex objects, we build specific feature extraction and fusion modules at different depth stages of backbone network feature extraction to enhance the feature learning capability of the lightweight backbone network. Specifically, we embed a structural feature learning module in the low-level feature extraction stage and a semantic feature learning module in the high-level feature extraction stage to maintain the spatial consistency of low-level features and the semantic commonality of high-level features. We acquired polarized images of underwater objects in natural underwater scenes and constructed a polarized object detection dataset (PODD) for object detection in the underwater environment. Experimental results show that the detection effect of the proposed method on the PODD is better than other SOD methods. Also, we conduct comparative experiments on the RGB-thermal (RGB-T) and RGB-depth (RGB-D) datasets to verify the generalization of the proposed method.

In this article, we show how to extend the multi-view stereo technique when the object to be reconstructed is inside a transparent but refractive medium, which causes distortions in the images. We provide a theoretical formulation of the problem accounting for a general non-planar shape of the refractive interface, and then a discrete solving method. We also present a pipeline to recover precisely the geometry of the refractive interface, considered as a convex polyhedral object. It is based on the extraction of visible polyhedron vertices from silhouette images and matching across a sequence of images acquired under circular camera motion. These contributions are validated by tests on synthetic and real data.

These contributions are validated by tests on synthetic and real data.","PeriodicalId":54843,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140840460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Image watermarking technology plays a key role in the protection of intellectual property rights. In addition to digital watermarking, optical watermarking has also been widely considered. A watermarking scheme based on Gerchberg–Saxton (GS) algorithm and integer wavelet transform (IWT) is proposed for image encryption. The scheme uses the unique phase reconstruction characteristics of GS algorithm, which makes it able to deal with a variety of complex local attacks in the process of protection and effectively restore the original image information. The obfuscation of position and numerical value information is realized by means of variable step Joseph space scrambling and pixel value bit processing. The carrier image is decomposed into subbands with different frequencies using IWT, all the information of the secret image is embedded bit by bit, which realizes the hiding of the image information. In addition, the SHA-256 function, the RSA algorithm, and the hyperchaotic system are combined to generate the cipher stream. The experimental results show that the algorithm has good imperceptibility and security, as well as strong robustness to cutting and salt and pepper noise attacks, and can restore the image quality well.
