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.…”

Identifying Cyclical Patterns of Behavior Using a Moving-Average, Data-Smoothing Manipulation by Billie J. Retzlaff, Andrew R. Craig, Todd M. Owen, Brian D. Greer, Alex O’Donnell, Wayne W. Fisher

“…However, identifying cyclical patterns of behavior can be difficult when using traditional methods of visual analysis. We describe a data-manipulation method, called data smoothing, in which one averages the data across time points within a specified window (e.g., 3, 5, or 7 days). …”

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.…”

Dynamics Learning With Object-Centric Interaction Networks for Robot Manipulation by Jiayu Wang, Chuxiong Hu, Yunan Wang, Yu Zhu

“…However, most current approaches on dynamics learning from high-dimensional visual observations have limitations. These methods either rely on a large amount of real-world data or build a model with a fixed number of objects, which makes them difficult to generalize to unseen objects. …”

Improved sub-band JND model with textural decomposition and its application in perceptual image coding by Ming-kui ZHENG, Kai-xiong SU, Wei-xing WANG, Cheng-dong LAN, Xiu-zhi YANG

“…Considering the compatibility and the auxiliary information which would affect the encoding efficiency, the JND model was adjusted to the quantization process and re-moved more visual redundancy. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the JND threshold;compared with JPEG standard, the perceptual coding method can save more bit rate and does not need extra bit for auxil-iary information at the similar visual quality. …”
