Vision-based localization techniques and detection technologies are key algorithms for the localization and navigation of unmanned vehicles. Especially in scenarios where GPS signals are missing, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques that rely on vision, inertial navigation system (INS) and other sensors have important applications. Among them, vision combined with the IMU SLAM system has the advantage of realistic scale, which is lacking in monocular vision and computational power compared to multi-visual vision, so it is suitable for application in an unmanned vehicle system. In this paper, we propose a fusion localization algorithm that combines a visual-inertial SLAM system and map road information, processing road information in a map under structured roads, and detecting lane lines and locating its local position by a monocular camera, applying a strategy of position prediction and update for map-SLAM fusion localization. It solves the problem of accumulating errors in a pure SLAM system without loopback and provides accurate global-local positioning results for unmanned vehicle positioning and navigation.

Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN) is widely used in text classification tasks. Furthermore, it has been effectively used to accomplish tasks that are thought to have a rich relational structure. However, due to the sparse adjacency matrix constructed by GCN, GCN cannot make full use of context-dependent information in text classification, and it is not good at capturing local information. The Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) has the ability to capture contextual information in sentences or documents, but it is limited in capturing global (the corpus) information about vocabulary in a language, which is the advantage of GCN. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved model to solve the above problems. The original GCN uses word co-occurrence relationships to build text graphs. Word connections are not abundant enough and cannot capture context dependencies well, so we introduce a semantic dictionary and dependencies. While the model enhances the ability to capture contextual dependencies, it lacks the ability to capture sequences. Therefore, we introduced BERT and Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) Network to perform deeper learning on the features of text, thereby improving the classification effect of the model. The experimental results show that our model is more effective than previous research reports on four text classification datasets. Full article

Existing person search methods mainly focus on searching for the target person using database images. However, this is different from real-world surveillance videos which involve a temporal relationship between video frames. To solve this problem, we propose an efficient person search method that employs spatio-temporal features in surveillance videos. This method not only considers the spatial features of persons in each frame, but also utilizes the temporal relationship of the same person between adjacent frames. For this purpose, the spatial features are extracted by combining Yolo network with Resnet-50 model, and the temporal relationship is processed by gated recurrent unit. The spatio-temporal features are generated by the following average pooling layer and used to represent persons in the videos. To ensure search efficiency, locality sensitive hashing is used to organize massive spatio-temporal features and calculate the similarity. A surveillance video database is also constructed to evaluate the proposed method, and the experimental results demonstrate that our method improves search accuracy while ensuring search efficiency.

Task offloading and resource allocation are the major elements of edge computing. A reasonable task offloading strategy and resource allocation scheme can reduce task processing time and save system energy consumption. Most of the current studies on the task migration of edge computing only consider the resource allocation between terminals and edge servers, ignoring the huge computing resources in the cloud center. In order to sufficiently utilize the cloud and edge server resources, we propose a coarse-grained task offloading strategy and intelligent resource matching scheme under Cloud-Edge collaboration. We consider the heterogeneity of mobile devices and inter-channel interference, and we establish the task offloading decision of multiple end-users as a game-theory-based task migration model with the objective of maximizing system utility. In addition, we propose an improved game-theory-based particle swarm optimization algorithm to obtain task offloading strategies. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other schemes with respect to latency and energy consumption, and it scales well with increases in the number of mobile devices.

This paper focuses on the design of a distributed algorithm for generalized eigenvalue problems (GEPs) in one-shot communication. Since existing distributed methods for eigenvalue decomposition cannot be applied to GEP, a general one-shot distributed GEP framework is proposed. The theoretical analysis of the approximation error reveals its relation to the divergence of the data covariance, the eigenvalues of the empirical data covariance, and the number of local servers. If the symmetric data covariance has repeated eigenvalues in GEP, e.g., in canonical component analysis, we further modify the method for better convergence and prove the necessity experimentally. Numerical experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms both on synthetic and real-world datasets. Full article

Transformer complements convolutional neural network (CNN) has achieved better performance than improved CNN-based methods. Specially, Transformer is utilized to be combined with U-shaped structure, skip-connections, encoder, and even them all together. However, the intermediate supervision network based on the coarse-to-fine strategy has not been combined with Transformer to improve the generalization of CNN-based methods. In this paper, we propose Swin-PANet, which is applying a window-based self-attention mechanism by Swin Transformer in the intermediate supervision network, called prior attention network. A new enhanced attention block based on CCA is also proposed to aggregate the features from skip-connections and prior attention network, and further refine details of boundaries. Swin-PANet can address the dilemma that traditional Transformer network has poor interpretability in the process of attention calculation and Swin-PANet can insert its attention predictions into prior attention network for intermediate supervision learning which is humanly interpretable and controllable. Hence, the intermediate supervision network assisted by Swin Transformer provides better attention learning and interpretability in network for accurate and automatic medical image segmentation. The experimental results evaluate the effectiveness of Swin-PANet which outperforms state-of-the-art methods in some famous medical segmentation tasks including cell and skin lesion segmentation.
