Crack Recognition Algorithm Integrating Attention Mechanism and Region Growth Method by LING Xiaokang, ZHAN Jie, MA Jianfei

“…To optimize traditional crack identification methods,improve the robustness and accuracy of the crack identification method,and realize automatic crack identification,this paper proposes a crack recognition algorithm integrating attention mechanism and region growth.It establishes dynamic thresholds and obtains the crack results under different thresholds by employing the region growth method.The attention mechanism is introduced to assign different weight coefficients to each pixel of the image according to the crack identification under dynamic thresholds for more accurate crack recognition results.Finally,the characteristic information of cracks is determined by the length of the crack skeleton and the area occupied by the crack region (length and average width of the crack).Through verifying field crack images,the results show that the crack characteristic information identified by the crack identification method integrating attention mechanism and region growth is basically consistent with the actual crack characteristics.The method features strong robustness and identification accuracy,which provides support for engineering health monitoring.…”

Provably secure rational delegation computation protocol by Youliang TIAN, Qiuxian LI, Duo ZHANG, Linjie WANG

“…A provably secure rational delegation computation scheme was proposed to solve the requirement of security issues in rational delegate computation.Firstly,game theory was introduced into delegation computation and according to rational participants behavior preferences analysis,a rational delegate computing game model was designed.Secondly,according to the equilibrium demand of game model and the security requirement of rational delegation computation,a rational security model was established.Thirdly,combining Yao's garbled circuit with its advantages of re-randomization,as well as full homomorphic encryption technology,the rational delegation computation protocol was constructed.And the combination of strategies in the protocol could reach the Nash equilibrium state.Finally,the security of the protocol and the privacy of the input and output were proved according to the rational security model,and the performance analysis shows the validity of the protocol.The proposed rational delegation computing protocol not only satisfies the traditional security,but also considers the behavioral preference of participants,which is more in line with the delegationcomputing mode under the big data environment.…”
