Digging historical and cultural information from seals in ancient books is of great significance. However, ancient Chinese seal samples are scarce and carving methods are diverse, and traditional digital image processing methods based on greyscale have difficulty achieving superior segmentation and recognition performance. Recently, some deep learning algorithms have been proposed to address this problem; however, current neural networks are difficult to train owing to the lack of datasets. To solve the afore-mentioned problems, we proposed an SEL-RefineMask which combines selector of feature pyramid network (SEL-FPN) with RefineMask to segment and recognize seals. We designed an SEL-FPN to intelligently select a specific layer which represents different scales in the FPN and reduces the number of anchor frames. We performed experiments on some instance segmentation networks as the baseline method, and the top-1 segmentation result of 64.93% is 5.73% higher than that of humans. The top-1 result of the SEL-RefineMask network reached 67.96% which surpassed the baseline results. After segmentation, a vision transformer was used to recognize the segmentation output, and the accuracy reached 91%. Furthermore, a dataset of seals in ancient Chinese books (SACB) for segmentation and small seal font (SSF) for recognition were established which are publicly available on the website.

This paper presents an image processing method to recognize object's position from images for robot control applications. The Sobel Mask and the Dialated Gradient Mask algorithms are used to extract and refine the edge of the object. The inside of the extracted edge is filled with '1's for calculation of the center of mass to identify object's position. We propose a heuristic method which averages the positions of the objects in 10 frames to reject noises, and discuss the application of the proposed method to robot control.

In order to achieve rapid and accurate detection of vehicle objects in complex traffic conditions, we propose a novel vehicle detection method. Firstly, more contextual and small-object vehicle information can be obtained by our Joint Feature Network (JFN). Secondly, our Evolved Region Proposal Network (EPRN) generates initial anchor boxes by adding an improved version of the region proposal network in this network, and at the same time filters out a large number of false vehicle boxes by soft-Non Maximum Suppression (NMS). Then, our Mask Network (MaskN) generates an example that includes the vehicle occlusion, the generator and discriminator can learn from each other in order to further improve the vehicle object detection capability. Finally, these candidate vehicle detection boxes are optimized to obtain the final vehicle detection boxes by the Fine-Tuning Network(FTN). Through the evaluation experiment on the DETRAC benchmark dataset, we find that in terms of mAP, our method exceeds Faster-RCNN by 11.15%, YOLO by 11.88%, and EB by 1.64%. Besides, our algorithm also has achieved top2 comaring with MS-CNN, YOLO-v3, RefineNet, RetinaNet, Faster-rcnn, DSSD and YOLO-v2 of vehicle category in KITTI dataset.

It has been widely acknowledged that occlusion impairments adversely distress many face recognition algorithms' performance. Therefore, it is crucial to solving the problem of face image occlusion in face recognition. To solve the image occlusion problem in face recognition, this paper aims to automatically de-occlude the human face majority or discriminative regions to improve face recognition performance. To achieve this, we decompose the generative process into two key stages and employ a separate generative adversarial network (GAN)-based network in both stages. The first stage generates an initial coarse face image without an occlusion mask. The second stage refines the result from the first stage by forcing it closer to real face images or ground truth. To increase the performance and minimize the artifacts in the generated result, a new refine loss (e.g., reconstruction loss, perceptual loss, and adversarial loss) is used to determine all differences between the generated de-occluded face image and ground truth. Furthermore, we build occluded face images and corresponding occlusion-free face images dataset. We trained our model on this new dataset and later tested it on real-world face images. The experiment results (qualitative and quantitative) and the comparative study confirm the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed work in removing challenging occlusion masks with various structures, sizes, shapes, types, and positions.

In geology, lineament features have been used to identify geological events, and many of scientists have been developed the algorithm that can be applied with the computer to recognize the lineaments. We choose several edge detection filter, line detection filters and Hough transform to detect an edge, line, and to vectorize the extracted lineament features, respectively. firstly the edge detection filter using a first-order derivative is applied to the original image In this step, rough lineament image is created Secondly, line detection filter is used to refine the previous image for further processing, where the wrong detected lines are, to some extents, excluded by using the variance of the pixel values that is composed of each line Thirdly, the thinning process is carried out to control the thickness of the line. At last, we use the Hough transform to convert the raster image to the vector one. A Landsat image is selected to extract lineament features. The result shows the lineament well regardless of directions. However, the degree of extraction of linear feature depends on the values of parameters and patterns of filters, therefore the development of new filter and the reduction of the number of parameter are required for the further study.

In the dynamic landscape of modern machine learning, Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a compelling paradigm designed to enhance privacy by enabling participants to collaboratively train models without sharing their private data. Specifically, Distillation-based Federated Learning, like Federated Learning with Model Distillation (FedMD), Federated Gradient Encryption and Model Sharing (FedGEMS), and Differentially Secure Federated Learning (DS-FL), has arisen as a novel approach aimed at addressing Non-IID data challenges by leveraging Federated Learning. These methods refine the standard FL framework by distilling insights from public dataset predictions, securing data transmissions through gradient encryption, and applying differential privacy to mask individual contributions. Despite these innovations, our survey identifies persistent vulnerabilities, particularly concerning the susceptibility to logit inversion attacks where malicious actors could reconstruct private data from shared public predictions. This exploration reveals that even advanced Distillation-based Federated Learning systems harbor significant privacy risks, challenging the prevailing assumptions about their security and underscoring the need for continued advancements in secure Federated Learning methodologies.

Unsupervised Video Object Segmentation (UVOS) is a highly challenging problem in computer vision as the annotation of the target object in the testing video is unknown at all. The main difficulty is to effectively handle the complicated and changeable motion state of the target object and the confusion of similar background objects in video sequence. In this paper, we propose a novel deep Dual-stream Co-enhanced Network (DC-Net) for UVOS via bidirectional motion cues refinement and multi-level feature aggregation, which can fully take advantage of motion cues and effectively integrate different level features to produce high-quality segmentation mask. DC-Net is a dual-stream architecture where the two streams are co-enhanced by each other. One is a motion stream with a Motion-cues Refine Module (MRM), which learns from bidirectional optical flow images and produces fine-grained and complete distinctive motion saliency map, and the other is an appearance stream with a Multi-level Feature Aggregation Module (MFAM) and a Context Attention Module (CAM) which are designed to integrate the different level features effectively. Specifically, the motion saliency map obtained by the motion stream is fused with each stage of the decoder in the appearance stream to improve the segmentation, and in turn the segmentation loss in the appearance stream feeds back into the motion stream to enhance the motion refinement. Experimental results on three datasets (Davis2016, VideoSD, SegTrack-v2) demonstrate that DC-Net has achieved comparable results with some state-of-the-art methods.

블록체인 기술이 부동산 거래분야에서도 활발히 연구되고 있으며 부동산 거래는 다양한 방법이 있다. 본 논문에서는 오프라인상 법원 경매의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 이더리움의 Ether를 사용하여 경매 시스템의 인증 절차를 간소화하는 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 이더리움의 Solidity언어로 작성하고 법원에서 매각기일 및 매물의 Meta date를 DApp 브라우저에 등록하고 입찰자는 Meta mask의 Private key를 통해 만들어진 개인의 지갑 주소에 접속한다. 그리고 입찰자는 원하는 매물을 선택, 입찰가격 금액을 입력하여 경매에 참여한다. 입찰자가 원하는 매물의 입찰가격이 가장 높은 입찰자의 기록을 이더리움 테스트 네트워크에 스마트 계약으로 작성하고 블록을 생성한다. 마지막으로 네트워크에서 작성된 스마트 계약은 법원 경매 관리자가 블록체인 네트워크의 모든 노드에 배포하고, 블록체인 네트워크의 각 노드들은 열람 및 계약을 확인할 수 있다. 제안하는 모델의 스마트 계약과 시스템의 성능을 분석한 결과로 이더리움을 이용하는 플랫폼에서 Ether를 생성 및 사용, 그리고 참여로 인해 발생하는 수수료가 있다. Ether의 가치 변화에 따라 매물의 가격에 영향을 끼치며 매번 스마트 계약에서 일정하지 않은 수수료가 발생한다. 하지만 향후 연구에서는 자체 토큰을 발행하여 Ether의 가치 변화에 따른 시세 변동성 문제와 수수료 문제를 해결하며 복잡한 법원경매 시스템을 세분화한다.
