Character-level detection in historical manuscripts is one of the challenging and valuable tasks in the computer vision field, related directly and effectively to the recognition task. Most of the existing techniques, though promising, seem not power...
The limited availability of in-situ images of the lunar surface significantly hinders the performance improvement of intelligent algorithms, such as scientific target point-of-interest recognition. To address the low diversity of images generated by...
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many students are unable to attend face-to-face courses, Therefore, in this case, distance education should be promoted to replace face-to-face education. However, because of the imbalance of education in d...
Although deep learning-based techniques for salient object detection have considerably improved over recent years, estimated saliency maps still exhibit imprecise predictions owing to the internal complexity and indefinite boundaries of salient objec...
As an efficient way to deal with the exhaustion of traditional fossil fuels, new energy power generation has obtained much attention from the Chinese Government. In this context, more and more new energy power generation groups that consist of large...
The identification of wear rubber balls in the rubber ball cleaning system in heat exchange equipment directly affects the descaling efficiency. For the problem that the rubber ball image contains impurities and bubbles and the segmentation is low in...
Image inpainting aims to synthesize missing regions in images that are coherent with the existing visual content. Generative adversarial networks have made significant strides in the development of image inpainting. However, existing approaches heavi...
The bioeconomy aims to discover new sources for producing energy and materials and to valorize byproducts that otherwise would get wasted. In this work, we investigate the possibility of producing novel bioplastics, made up of argan seed proteins (AP...
Facial emotion recognition has become increasingly important in healthcare, where understanding delicate cues like pain, discomfort, or unconsciousness can support more timely and responsive care. Yet, recognizing facial expressions in real-world set...
To tackle the challenges of complex construction environment interference (e.g., lighting variations, occlusion, and marker contamination) and the demand for high-precision alignment during the hoisting process of bridge-erecting machines, this paper...
The existence of camouflage targets is widespread in the natural world, as they blend seamlessly or closely resemble their surrounding environment, making it difficult for the human eye to identify them accurately. In camouflage target segmentation,...
The influence of temperature on soil behavior has traditionally attracted attention for geotechnical engineers, especially in the design of engineering works and nuclear facilities located in regions with severe cold climates. This research emphasize...
