BiFormer for Scene Graph Generation Based on VisionNet With Taylor Hiking Optimization Algorithm by S. Monesh, N. C. Senthilkumar

“…Scene Graph Generation (SGG) plays a vital role in determining the graph structure of an image by classifying objects based on their pairwise visual relationships. In the SGG, visually grouped graphs are generated by considering edges as visual relationships between objects and nodes as object classes. …”

The effect of text and graphic cue-based action observation on the working memory performance of novice badminton players by Dukchan Jang, Junho Ha

“…There has been relatively little research examining the effectiveness of action observation based on visual cues in strategic situations. This study investigated whether action observation with visual cues can help performers understand the strategic aspects of complex sports by analyzing the effect of text cue-based action observation and graphic cue-based action observation on the accuracy and speed of cognitive information processing in working memory.MethodsForty-four male and female novice badminton players participated in the experiment. …”

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.…”

An Investigation of the Efficiency of Sensory Systems Involved in Postural Control in Deaf Athletes and Non-Athletes by Mohammadreza Seyedi, Foad Seidi, عباس رحیمی, Hooman Minoonejad

“…For this purpose, 30 adolescents aged between 15 and 20 with congenital severe deafness were assigned to athlete and non-athlete groups (mean age 18.08+1.17 yr, height 173.04+6.82 cm and weight 59.41+7.47 kg) by purposive sampling method. A Biodex stabilometer was used to measure the postural control of the subjects in four different sensory conditions to find out the shares of visual, vestibular and somatic systems and the efficiency of each sensory system was calculated by Nashner formula. …”
