A low illumination target detection method based on a dynamic gradient gain allocation strategy by Zhiqiang Li, Jian Xiang, Jiawen Duan

“…Finally, to solve the fuzzy boundary problem caused by the target boundary being similar to the surrounding background due to insufficient illumination under low illumination conditions, a new loss function is designed in this paper, which pays more attention to the center of the target and weakly considers the aspect ratio of the target prediction frame, and at the same time, the new loss function employs a dynamic gradient gain assignment strategy to reduce the effect of the low-quality anchor frames and to improve the target localization Accuracy. …”

Linear property and optimal design of MARS-like cryptographic structure by Nianping WANG, Lirong HONG

“…A MARS-like cryptographic structure was proposed and some linear properties of this cryptographic structure were given.An optimal design method of linear transformation in MARS-like cryptographic structure was also given.Concretely, by analyzing the transfer law of a class of linear approximation with special structure, regardless of the selected linear bijection, the existence of the linear approximation with 0 active round function in the t(1≤t≤3) round had been demonstrated.Furthermore, there was at least one with no more than 1, ⌊8t/15⌋ active round function among the 4, t(t＆gt;4)-round of linear approximation, respectively.On this basis, an optimal design method was proposed to make the lower bound of the number of active round function closer to the maximum possible value than the MARS cryptographic structure for the linear transformation in the MARS-like cryptographic structure.…”
