Nowadays, lots of applications and websites utilize text-based captchas to partially protect the authentication mechanism. However, in recent years, different ways have been exploited to automatically recognize text-based captchas especially deep learning-based ways, such as, convolutional neural network (CNN). Thus, we have to enhance the text captchas design. In this paper, using the features of the randomness for each encoding process in visual cryptography (VC) and the visual recognizability with naked human eyes, VC is applied to design and enhance text-based captcha. Experimental results using two typical deep learning-based attack models indicate the effectiveness of the designed method. By using our designed VC-enhanced text-based captcha (VCETC), the recognition rate is in some degree decreased.

The complexity of defect detection in a ceramic substrate causes interclass and intraclass imbalance problems. Identifying flaws in ceramic substrates has traditionally relied on aberrant material occurrences and characteristic quantities. However, defect substrates in ceramic are typically small and have a wide variety of defect distributions, thereby making defect detection more challenging and difficult. Thus, we propose a method for defect detection based on unsupervised learning and deep learning. First, the proposed method conducts K-means clustering for grouping instances according to their inherent complex characteristics. Second, the distribution of rarely occurring instances is balanced by using augmentation filters. Finally, a convolutional neural network is trained by using the balanced dataset. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated by comparing the results with those of other methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other methods.

Websites can increase their security and prevent harmful Internet attacks by providing CAPTCHA verification for determining whether end-user is a human or a robot. Text-based CAPTCHA is the most common and designed to be easily recognized by humans and difficult to identify by machines or robots. However, with the dramatic advancements in deep learning, it becomes much easier to build convolutional neural network (CNN) models that can efficiently recognize text-based CAPTCHAs. In this study, we introduce an efficient CNN model that uses attached binary images to recognize CAPTCHAs. By making a specific number of copies of the input CAPTCHA image equal to the number of characters in that input CAPTCHA image and attaching distinct binary images to each copy, we build a new CNN model that can recognize CAPTCHAs effectively. The model has a simple structure and small storage size and does not require the segmentation of CAPTCHAs into individual characters. After training and testing the proposed CAPTCHA recognition CNN model, the achieved experimental results reveal the strength of the model in CAPTCHA character recognition.

Deep-learning-based image inpainting methods have shown significant promise in both rectangular and irregular holes. However, the inpainting of irregular holes presents numerous challenges owing to uncertainties in their shapes and locations. When depending solely on convolutional neural network (CNN) or adversarial supervision, plausible inpainting results cannot be guaranteed because irregular holes need attention-based guidance for retrieving information for content generation. In this paper, we propose two new attention mechanisms, namely a mask pruning-based global attention module and a global and local attention module to obtain global dependency information and the local similarity information among the features for refined results. The proposed method is evaluated using state-of-the-art methods, and the experimental results show that our method outperforms the existing methods in both quantitative and qualitative measures.

Expression Recognition

As an important part of emotion research, facial expression recognition is a necessary requirement in human–machine interface. Generally, a face expression recognition system includes face detection, feature extraction, and feature classification. Although great success has been made by the traditional machine learning methods, most of them have complex computational problems and lack the ability to extract comprehensive and abstract features. Deep learning-based methods can realize a higher recognition rate for facial expressions, but a large number of training samples and tuning parameters are needed, and the hardware requirement is very high. For the above problems, this paper proposes a method combining features that extracted by the convolutional neural network (CNN) with the C4.5 classifier to recognize facial expressions, which not only can address the incompleteness of handcrafted features but also can avoid the high hardware configuration in the deep learning model. Considering some problems of overfitting and weak generalization ability of the single classifier, random forest is applied in this paper. Meanwhile, this paper makes some improvements for C4.5 classifier and the traditional random forest in the process of experiments. A large number of experiments have proved the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper investigates the extraction of volleyball players’ skeleton information and provides a deep learning-based solution for recognizing the players’ actions. For this purpose, the convolutional neural network-based approach for recognizing volleyball players’ actions is used. The Lie group skeleton has a large data dimension since it is used to represent the features retrieved from the model. The convolutional neural network is used for feature learning and classification in order to process high-dimensional data, minimize the complexity of the recognition process, and speed up the calculation. This paper uses the Lie group skeleton representation model to extract the geometric feature of the skeleton information in the feature extraction stage and the geometric transformation (rotation and translation) between different limbs to represent the volleyball players’ movements in the feature representation stage. The approach is evaluated using the datasets Florence3D actions, MSR action pairs, and UTKinect action. The average recognition rate of our method is 93.00%, which is higher than that of the existing literature with high attention and reflects better accuracy and robustness.

Left and right hand motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) signals are widely used in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems to identify a participant intent in controlling external devices. However, due to a series of reasons, including low signal-to-noise ratios, there are great challenges for efficient motor imagery classification. The recognition of left and right hand MI-EEG signals is vital for the application of BCI systems. Recently, the method of deep learning has been successfully applied in pattern recognition and other fields. However, there are few effective deep learning algorithms applied to BCI systems, particularly for MI based BCI. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that combines continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and a simplified convolutional neural network (SCNN) to improve the recognition rate of MI-EEG signals. Using the CWT, the MI-EEG signals are mapped to time-frequency image signals. Then the image signals are input into the SCNN to extract the features and classify them. Tested by the BCI Competition IV Dataset 2b, the experimental results show that the average classification accuracy of the nine subjects is 83.2%, and the mean kappa value is 0.651, which is 11.9% higher than that of the champion in the BCI Competition IV. Compared with other algorithms, the proposed CWT-SCNN algorithm has a better classification performance and a shorter training time. Therefore, this algorithm could enhance the classification performance of MI based BCI and be applied in real-time BCI systems for use by disabled people.

Covid-19 is a growing issue in society and there is a need for resources to manage the disease. This paper looks at studying the effect of class decomposition in our previously proposed deep Convolutional Neural Network, called DeTraC (Decompose, Transfer and Compose). DeTraC has the ability to robustly detect and predict Covid-19 from chest X-ray images. The experimental results showed that changing the number of clusters affected the performance of DeTraC and influenced the accuracy of the model. As the number of clusters increased, the accuracy decreased for the shallow tuning mode but increased for the deep tuning mode. This shows the importance of using suitable hyperparameter settings in order to get the best results from a deep learning model. The highest accuracy obtained, in this study, was 98.33% from the deep tuning model.

Recently, deep learning has been widely applying to speech and image recognition. Convolutional neural network (CNN) is one of the main categories to do image classifications with very high accuracy. In Android malware classification field, many works have been trying to convert Android malwares into “images” to make them well-matched with the CNN input to take advantage of the CNN model. The performance, however, is not significantly improved because simply converting malwares into images may lack several important features of the malwares. This paper proposes a method for improving the feature set of Android malware classification based on co-concurrence matrix (co-matrix). The co-matrix is established based on a list of raw features extracted from .apk files. The proposed feature can take the advantage of CNN while remaining important features of the Android malwares. Experimental results of CNN model conducted on a very popular Android malware dataset, Drebin, prove the feasibility of our proposed co-matrix feature.
