With increasing motion sensor development, multiple data sources have become available, which leads to the rise of multi-modal gesture recognition. Since our previous approach to gesture recognition depends on a unimodal system, it is difficult to classify similar motion patterns. In order to solve this problem, a novel approach which integrates motion, audio and video models is proposed by using dataset captured by Kinect. The proposed system can recognize observed gestures by using three models. Recognition results of three models are integrated by using the proposed framework and the output becomes the final result. The motion and audio models are learned by using Hidden Markov Model. Random Forest which is the video classifier is used to learn the video model. In the experiments to test the performances of the proposed system, the motion and audio models most suitable for gesture recognition are chosen by varying feature vectors and learning methods. Additionally, the unimodal and multi-modal models are compared with respect to recognition accuracy. All the experiments are conducted on dataset provided by the competition organizer of MMGRC, which is a workshop for Multi-Modal Gesture Recognition Challenge. The comparison results show that the multi-modal model composed of three models scores the highest recognition rate. This improvement of recognition accuracy means that the complementary relationship among three models improves the accuracy of gesture recognition. The proposed system provides the application technology to understand human actions of daily life more precisely.展开更多

文摘The unsupervised multi-modal image translation is an emerging domain of computer vision whose goal is to transform an image from the source domain into many diverse styles in the target domain.However,the multi-generator mechanism is employed among the advanced approaches available to model different domain mappings,which results in inefficient training of neural networks and pattern collapse,leading to inefficient generation of image diversity.To address this issue,this paper introduces a multi-modal unsupervised image translation framework that uses a generator to perform multi-modal image translation.Specifically,firstly,the domain code is introduced in this paper to explicitly control the different generation tasks.Secondly,this paper brings in the squeeze-and-excitation(SE)mechanism and feature attention(FA)module.Finally,the model integrates multiple optimization objectives to ensure efficient multi-modal translation.This paper performs qualitative and quantitative experiments on multiple non-paired benchmark image translation datasets while demonstrating the benefits of the proposed method over existing technologies.Overall,experimental results have shown that the proposed method is versatile and scalable.

文摘The sixth generation(6G)of mobile communication system is witnessing a new paradigm shift,i.e.,integrated sensing-communication system.A comprehensive dataset is a prerequisite for 6G integrated sensing-communication research.This paper develops a novel simulation dataset,named M3SC,for mixed multi-modal(MMM)sensing-communication integration,and the generation framework of the M3SC dataset is further given.To obtain multimodal sensory data in physical space and communication data in electromagnetic space,we utilize Air-Sim and WaveFarer to collect multi-modal sensory data and exploit Wireless InSite to collect communication data.Furthermore,the in-depth integration and precise alignment of AirSim,WaveFarer,andWireless InSite are achieved.The M3SC dataset covers various weather conditions,multiplex frequency bands,and different times of the day.Currently,the M3SC dataset contains 1500 snapshots,including 80 RGB images,160 depth maps,80 LiDAR point clouds,256 sets of mmWave waveforms with 8 radar point clouds,and 72 channel impulse response(CIR)matrices per snapshot,thus totaling 120,000 RGB images,240,000 depth maps,120,000 LiDAR point clouds,384,000 sets of mmWave waveforms with 12,000 radar point clouds,and 108,000 CIR matrices.The data processing result presents the multi-modal sensory information and communication channel statistical properties.Finally,the MMM sensing-communication application,which can be supported by the M3SC dataset,is discussed.

文摘Deep learning based methods have been successfully applied to semantic segmentation of optical remote sensing images.However,as more and more remote sensing data is available,it is a new challenge to comprehensively utilize multi-modal remote sensing data to break through the performance bottleneck of single-modal interpretation.In addition,semantic segmentation and height estimation in remote sensing data are two tasks with strong correlation,but existing methods usually study individual tasks separately,which leads to high computational resource overhead.To this end,we propose a Multi-Task learning framework for Multi-Modal remote sensing images(MM_MT).Specifically,we design a Cross-Modal Feature Fusion(CMFF)method,which aggregates complementary information of different modalities to improve the accuracy of semantic segmentation and height estimation.Besides,a dual-stream multi-task learning method is introduced for Joint Semantic Segmentation and Height Estimation(JSSHE),extracting common features in a shared network to save time and resources,and then learning task-specific features in two task branches.Experimental results on the public multi-modal remote sensing image dataset Potsdam show that compared to training two tasks independently,multi-task learning saves 20%of training time and achieves competitive performance with mIoU of 83.02%for semantic segmentation and accuracy of 95.26%for height estimation.

文摘Power Shell has been widely deployed in fileless malware and advanced persistent threat(APT)attacks due to its high stealthiness and live-off-theland technique.However,existing works mainly focus on deobfuscation and malicious detection,lacking the malicious Power Shell families classification and behavior analysis.Moreover,the state-of-the-art methods fail to capture fine-grained features and semantic relationships,resulting in low robustness and accuracy.To this end,we propose Power Detector,a novel malicious Power Shell script detector based on multimodal semantic fusion and deep learning.Specifically,we design four feature extraction methods to extract key features from character,token,abstract syntax tree(AST),and semantic knowledge graph.Then,we intelligently design four embeddings(i.e.,Char2Vec,Token2Vec,AST2Vec,and Rela2Vec) and construct a multi-modal fusion algorithm to concatenate feature vectors from different views.Finally,we propose a combined model based on transformer and CNN-Bi LSTM to implement Power Shell family detection.Our experiments with five types of Power Shell attacks show that PowerDetector can accurately detect various obfuscated and stealth PowerShell scripts,with a 0.9402 precision,a 0.9358 recall,and a 0.9374 F1-score.Furthermore,through singlemodal and multi-modal comparison experiments,we demonstrate that PowerDetector’s multi-modal embedding and deep learning model can achieve better accuracy and even identify more unknown attacks.

文摘Event extraction stands as a significant endeavor within the realm of information extraction,aspiring to automatically extract structured event information from vast volumes of unstructured text.Extracting event elements from multi-modal data remains a challenging task due to the presence of a large number of images and overlapping event elements in the data.Although researchers have proposed various methods to accomplish this task,most existing event extraction models cannot address these challenges because they are only applicable to text scenarios.To solve the above issues,this paper proposes a multi-modal event extraction method based on knowledge fusion.Specifically,for event-type recognition,we use a meticulous pipeline approach that integrates multiple pre-trained models.This approach enables a more comprehensive capture of the multidimensional event semantic features present in military texts,thereby enhancing the interconnectedness of information between trigger words and events.For event element extraction,we propose a method for constructing a priori templates that combine event types with corresponding trigger words.This approach facilitates the acquisition of fine-grained input samples containing event trigger words,thus enabling the model to understand the semantic relationships between elements in greater depth.Furthermore,a fusion method for spatial mapping of textual event elements and image elements is proposed to reduce the category number overload and effectively achieve multi-modal knowledge fusion.The experimental results based on the CCKS 2022 dataset show that our method has achieved competitive results,with a comprehensive evaluation value F1-score of 53.4%for the model.These results validate the effectiveness of our method in extracting event elements from multi-modal data.

文摘Media convergence is a media change led by technological innovation.Applying media convergence technology to the study of clustering in Chinese medicine can significantly exploit the advantages of media fusion.Obtaining consistent and complementary information among multiple modalities through media convergence can provide technical support for clustering.This article presents an approach based on Media Convergence and Graph convolution Encoder Clustering(MCGEC)for traditonal Chinese medicine(TCM)clinical data.It feeds modal information and graph structure from media information into a multi-modal graph convolution encoder to obtain the media feature representation learnt from multiple modalities.MCGEC captures latent information from various modalities by fusion and optimises the feature representations and network architecture with learnt clustering labels.The experiment is conducted on real-world multimodal TCM clinical data,including information like images and text.MCGEC has improved clustering results compared to the generic single-modal clustering methods and the current more advanced multi-modal clustering methods.MCGEC applied to TCM clinical datasets can achieve better results.Integrating multimedia features into clustering algorithms offers significant benefits compared to single-modal clustering approaches that simply concatenate features from different modalities.It provides practical technical support for multi-modal clustering in the TCM field incorporating multimedia features.

文摘In recent years,many visual positioning algorithms have been proposed based on computer vision and they have achieved good results.However,these algorithms have a single function,cannot perceive the environment,and have poor versatility,and there is a certain mismatch phenomenon,which affects the positioning accuracy.Therefore,this paper proposes a location algorithm that combines a target recognition algorithm with a depth feature matching algorithm to solve the problem of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)environment perception and multi-modal image-matching fusion location.This algorithm was based on the single-shot object detector based on multi-level feature pyramid network(M2Det)algorithm and replaced the original visual geometry group(VGG)feature extraction network with the ResNet-101 network to improve the feature extraction capability of the network model.By introducing a depth feature matching algorithm,the algorithm shares neural network weights and realizes the design of UAV target recognition and a multi-modal image-matching fusion positioning algorithm.When the reference image and the real-time image were mismatched,the dynamic adaptive proportional constraint and the random sample consensus consistency algorithm(DAPC-RANSAC)were used to optimize the matching results to improve the correct matching efficiency of the target.Using the multi-modal registration data set,the proposed algorithm was compared and analyzed to verify its superiority and feasibility.The results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively deal with the matching between multi-modal images(visible image–infrared image,infrared image–satellite image,visible image–satellite image),and the contrast,scale,brightness,ambiguity deformation,and other changes had good stability and robustness.Finally,the effectiveness and practicability of the algorithm proposed in this paper were verified in an aerial test scene of an S1000 sixrotor UAV.
文摘In geometry processing,symmetry research benefits from global geo-metric features of complete shapes,but the shape of an object captured in real-world applications is often incomplete due to the limited sensor resolution,single viewpoint,and occlusion.Different from the existing works predicting symmetry from the complete shape,we propose a learning approach for symmetry predic-tion based on a single RGB-D image.Instead of directly predicting the symmetry from incomplete shapes,our method consists of two modules,i.e.,the multi-mod-al feature fusion module and the detection-by-reconstruction module.Firstly,we build a channel-transformer network(CTN)to extract cross-fusion features from the RGB-D as the multi-modal feature fusion module,which helps us aggregate features from the color and the depth separately.Then,our self-reconstruction net-work based on a 3D variational auto-encoder(3D-VAE)takes the global geo-metric features as input,followed by a prediction symmetry network to detect the symmetry.Our experiments are conducted on three public datasets:ShapeNet,YCB,and ScanNet,we demonstrate that our method can produce reliable and accurate results.

文摘The knowledge graph with relational abundant information has been widely used as the basic data support for the retrieval platforms.Image and text descriptions added to the knowledge graph enrich the node information,which accounts for the advantage of the multi-modal knowledge graph.In the field of cross-modal retrieval platforms,multi-modal knowledge graphs can help to improve retrieval accuracy and efficiency because of the abundant relational infor-mation provided by knowledge graphs.The representation learning method is sig-nificant to the application of multi-modal knowledge graphs.This paper proposes a distributed collaborative vector retrieval platform(DCRL-KG)using the multi-modal knowledge graph VisualSem as the foundation to achieve efficient and high-precision multimodal data retrieval.Firstly,use distributed technology to classify and store the data in the knowledge graph to improve retrieval efficiency.Secondly,this paper uses BabelNet to expand the knowledge graph through multi-ple filtering processes and increase the diversification of information.Finally,this paper builds a variety of retrieval models to achieve the fusion of retrieval results through linear combination methods to achieve high-precision language retrieval and image retrieval.The paper uses sentence retrieval and image retrieval experi-ments to prove that the platform can optimize the storage structure of the multi-modal knowledge graph and have good performance in multi-modal space.

文摘This paper presents a two-phase genetic algorithm (TPGA) based on the multi- parent genetic algorithm (MPGA). Through analysis we find MPGA will lead the population' s evol vement to diversity or convergence according to the population size and the crossover size, so we make it run in different forms during the global and local optimization phases and then forms TPGA. The experiment results show that TPGA is very efficient for the optimization of low-dimension multi-modal functions, usually we can obtain all the global optimal solutions.

文摘Gesture recognition is used in many practical applications such as human-robot interaction, medical rehabilitation and sign language. With increasing motion sensor development, multiple data sources have become available, which leads to the rise of multi-modal gesture recognition. Since our previous approach to gesture recognition depends on a unimodal system, it is difficult to classify similar motion patterns. In order to solve this problem, a novel approach which integrates motion, audio and video models is proposed by using dataset captured by Kinect. The proposed system can recognize observed gestures by using three models. Recognition results of three models are integrated by using the proposed framework and the output becomes the final result. The motion and audio models are learned by using Hidden Markov Model. Random Forest which is the video classifier is used to learn the video model. In the experiments to test the performances of the proposed system, the motion and audio models most suitable for gesture recognition are chosen by varying feature vectors and learning methods. Additionally, the unimodal and multi-modal models are compared with respect to recognition accuracy. All the experiments are conducted on dataset provided by the competition organizer of MMGRC, which is a workshop for Multi-Modal Gesture Recognition Challenge. The comparison results show that the multi-modal model composed of three models scores the highest recognition rate. This improvement of recognition accuracy means that the complementary relationship among three models improves the accuracy of gesture recognition. The proposed system provides the application technology to understand human actions of daily life more precisely.
