Optimized YOLOv8 framework for intelligent rockfall detection on mountain roads by Peng Peng, Langchao Gao, Jiachun Li, Hongzhen Zhang

“…To enable efficient detection, this study proposes a rockfall detection system based on embedded technology and an improved Yolov8 algorithm, termed Yolov8-GCB. The algorithm enhances detection performance through the following optimizations: (1) integrating a lightweight DeepLabv3+ road segmentation module at the input stage to generate mask images, which effectively exclude non-road regions from interference; (2) replacing Conv convolution units in the backbone network with Ghost convolution units, significantly reducing model parameters and computational cost while improving inference speed; (3) introducing the CPCA (Channel Priori Convolution Attention) mechanism to strengthen the feature extraction capability for targets with diverse shapes; and (4) incorporating skip connections and weighted fusion in the Neck feature extraction network to enhance multi-scale object detection. …”

Resource allocation strategy based on optimal matching auction in the enterprise network by Xin CONG, Lingling ZI, Xueli SHEN

“…To address the issue that the owners of computer are selfish in the enterprise networks,which caused the low available number of resource nodes and low efficiency of resource allocation,an optimized matching resource allocation strategy OMRA was proposed and its core was the auction mechanism.Selfishness was restrained and the number of available resources was increased by OMRA,so as the operating efficiency of the whole auction market was improved.First,the initial prices were determined by normalizing the costs of different type of resources on the beginning of auction.Secondly,an optimal matching auction algorithm was designed to maximize the interests of the auction markets.Then,service perfecting algorithm was performed such that the sellers could get more services at the current transaction value,thus ensuring the benefits of resource providers.At last,a request price updating algorithm was adopted to assurance that both sellers and buyers could get priorities in the next auction processing.Compared with the cloud resource allocating algorithm via fitness-enabled auction (CRAA/FA),the experiment results indicate that the efficiency of resource allocation improves by 10% and the benefits of market increase by 11.4%.…”
