Multi-label classification for image tamper detection based on Swin-T segmentation network in the spatial domain by Li Li, Kejia Zhang, Jianfeng Lu, Shanqing Zhang

“…Our method introduces three key innovations: (1) A spatial perception module that combines the spatial rich model (SRM) with constrained convolution, enabling focused detection of tampering traces while suppressing interference from image content; (2) A hierarchical feature learning architecture that integrates Swin Transformer with UperNet for effective multi-scale tampering pattern recognition; and (3) A comprehensive optimization strategy including auxiliary supervision, self-supervised learning, and hard example mining, which significantly improves model convergence and detection accuracy. …”

Spatial differences and formation mechanisms of innovation ecosystem dynamic operational efficiency along the yellow river by Xiaoni Kong, Shuliang Jin, Hongchao Zhao

“…The results revealed that the dynamic operational efficiency of the Innovation Ecosystem within the Yellow River Basin exhibited an obvious fluctuating downwards trend. The efficiency of spatial distribution in the upstream and midstream basins shows a left-skewed and polarized pattern, whereas the downstream basins exhibited a right-skewed distribution with less pronounced polarization. …”

Characteristics of Spatial and Temporal Evolution of Extreme Precipitation in Haihe River Basin and Analysis of Future Trends by LI Jia, HUANG Lingmei, SHEN Ao, SHI Rongqing, SHEN Manhua, YU Xiaobo

“…The results indicate that: ①The data simulation effect after Delta deviation correction is relatively good and is suitable for the prediction of extreme precipitation. ② In the historical period (1980–2014), in terms of temporal changes, the total annual precipitation, the number of days with precipitation exceeding 10 mm, and the maximum five-day precipitation show a significant upward trend, and other indicators increase but do not reach a significant level; in terms of spatial changes, the extreme precipitation index generally shows the pattern of "low in the northwest and high in the southeast". ③ In the future period (2021–2100), the extreme precipitation index will generally show a strengthening trend in terms of temporal changes. …”
