The effect of text and graphic cue-based action observation on the working memory performance of novice badminton players by Dukchan Jang, Junho Ha

“…There has been relatively little research examining the effectiveness of action observation based on visual cues in strategic situations. This study investigated whether action observation with visual cues can help performers understand the strategic aspects of complex sports by analyzing the effect of text cue-based action observation and graphic cue-based action observation on the accuracy and speed of cognitive information processing in working memory.MethodsForty-four male and female novice badminton players participated in the experiment. …”

A novel knowledge distillation framework for enhancing small object detection in blurry environments with unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted images by Sayed Jobaer, Xue-song Tang, Yihong Zhang, Gaojian Li, Foysal Ahmed

“…Based on the experiment results, our proposed model achieves an improvement of 4.3% accuracy in the VisDrone synthetic motion blur dataset and 4.6% in detecting objects within synthetic blurry images in our developed small object detection dataset (SOD-Dataset), as well as competitive results compared with other state-of-the-art methods. Meanwhile, ablation experiments and a visualization analysis validate the contributions of each component of the model.…”

Facial Expression Recognition-You Only Look Once-Neighborhood Coordinate Attention Mamba: Facial Expression Detection and Classification Based on Neighbor and Coordinates Attention... by Cheng Peng, Mingqi Sun, Kun Zou, Bowen Zhang, Genan Dai, Ah Chung Tsoi

“…The resulting FER-YOLO-NCAMamba model, when applied to two unaligned FER benchmark datasets, RAF-DB and SFEW, obtains significantly improved mean average precision (mAP) scores when compared with those obtained by other state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, in ablation studies, it is found that the NCA module is relatively more important than the Visual State Space (VSS), a version of using Mamba for image processing, and in visualization studies using the grad-CAM method, it reveals that regions around the nose tip are critical to recognizing the expression; if it is too large, it may lead to erroneous prediction, while a small focused region would lead to correct recognition; this may explain why FER of unaligned faces is such a challenging problem.…”
