Nonlinear transform coding for semantic communications by Ping ZHANG, Jincheng DAI, Yuming ZHANG, Sixian WANG, Xiaoqi QIN, Kai NIU

“…The modular design and limited processing mechanism of traditional communication systems limit the continuous improvement of end-to-end data transmission capability.For this reason, a new nonlinear transform coding framework for semantic communications was proposed.First, an end-to-end rate distortion optimization criterion for semantic communication was derived based on variational theory.Based on this, a nonlinear transform was designed to extract the compact representation of source data in the semantic latent space, and variable-rate nonlinear joint source-channel coding was implemented through the guidance of variational entropy model.Experiments show that semantic nonlinear transform coding can significantly improve the end-to-end data transmission performance and robustness, and is one of the key technologies to catalyze future semantic communications.…”

A fast and accurate segmentation model of lychee tree canopy from UAV remote sensing image based on big data and deep learning by Jianhua Wang, Hongyi Xiong

“…To address this issue, this paper proposes a fast and accurate segmentation model for lychee tree canopies from UAV remote sensing images based on big data and deep learning technologies. Specifically, in our proposed method, first, the Res34CA_UNet segmentation model architecture was designed to improve the segmentation accuracy rate, where residual network technology was adopted to improve the ability to extract input data features, while coordinate attention mechanisms was used to enhance the perception ability of structural diversity for our model; Second, a parallel Res34CA_UNet segmentation model based on Hadoop and Spark was developed to accelerate the construction process based on the improved Res34CA_UNet segmentation model for lychee tree canopy segmentation respectively. …”
