Identity preserving face completion with generative adversarial networks by Xudong WANG, Hongquan WEI, Chao GAO, Ruiyang HUANG

“…As a special application of image completion technology,face image completion has an irreplaceable role in the occlusion of face recognition,portrait restoration and other issues.The existing face completion algorithm only aims at complementing the authenticity of the image without considering its identity consistency after completion.A face complement algorithm based on improved generative confrontation network was designed.By introducing SN-GAN algorithm,the stability of model training was improved.At the same time,the identity recognition constraint was added to the generated image using the face recognition model.Experiments have shown that the proposed method can effectively maintain the identity of the complementary image when generating high-authenticity images.…”

Grid chaotic attractors based on arc tangent and its secure communication by Xue-zhi MAO, Yong XU, Jian-ping LIU, Hui-quan MA

“…A smooth arc tangent function series approach for creating multi-directional multi-scroll grid chaotic attractors was proposed,including one-directional n-scroll,two-directional n×m-grid scroll,and three-directional n×m×l-grid scroll chaotic attractors.The chotic properties were studied by equilibrium points analysis,numerical simulation,Lyapunov exponents spectrum,bifurcation diagrams and Poincaré section diagrams.Synchronize the two grid multi-scroll chaotic systems with same structure by designing simple linear feedback control lows,which is applied to secure communication.The effectiveness of this method has been verified by simple analysis and numerical simulation.…”
