Fine-grained image classification is a challenging problem because of its large intra-class differences and low inter-class variance. Bilinear pooling based models have been shown to be effective at fine-grained classification, while most previous approaches neglect the fact that distinctive features or modeling distinguishing regions usually have an important role in solving the fine-grained problem. In this paper, we propose a novel convolutional neural network framework, i.e., attention bilinear pooling, for fine-grained classification with attention. This framework can learn the distinctive feature information from the channel or spatial attention. Specifically, the channel and spatial attention allows the network to better focus on where the key targets are in the image. This paper embeds spatial attention and channel attention in the underlying network architecture to better represent image features. To further explore the differences between channels and spatial attention, we propose channel attention bilinear pooling (CAB), spatial attention bilinear pooling (SAB), channel spatial attention bilinear pooling (CSAB), and spatial channel attention bilinear pooling (SCAB) as four alternative frames. A variety of experiments on several datasets show that our proposed method has a very impressive performance compared to other methods based on bilinear pooling.

Defect Recognition

Wood defects are quickly identified from an optical image based on deep learning methodology, which effectively improves the wood utilization. The traditional neural network technique is unemployed for the wood defect detection of optical image used, which results from a long training time, low recognition accuracy, and nonautomatic extraction of defect image features. In this paper, a wood knot defect detection model (so-called BLNN) combined deep learning is reported. Two subnetworks composed of convolutional neural networks are trained by Pytorch. By using the feature extraction capabilities of the two subnetworks and combining the bilinear join operation, the fine-grained features of the image are obtained. The experimental results show that the accuracy has reached up 99.20%, and the training time is obviously reduced with the speed of defect detection about 0.0795 s/image. It indicates that BLNN has the ability to improve the accuracy of defect recognition and has a potential application in the detection of wood knot defects.

This paper investigates a challenging problem,which is known as fine-grained image classification(FGIC). Different from conventional computer visionproblems, FGIC suffers from the large intraclassdiversities and subtle inter-class differences.Existing FGIC approaches are limited to exploreonly the visual information embedded in the images.In this paper, we present a novel approachwhich can use handy prior knowledge from eitherstructured knowledge bases or unstructured text tofacilitate FGIC. Specifically, we propose a visual-semanticembedding model which explores semanticembedding from knowledge bases and text, andfurther trains a novel end-to-end CNN frameworkto linearly map image features to a rich semanticembedding space. Experimental results on a challenginglarge-scale UCSD Bird-200-2011 datasetverify that our approach outperforms several state-of-the-art methods with significant advances.

The inheritance and innovation of ancient architecture decoration art is an important way for the development of the construction industry. The data process of traditional ancient architecture decoration art is relatively backward, which leads to the obvious distortion of the digitalization of ancient architecture decoration art. In order to improve the digital effect of ancient architecture decoration art, based on neural network, this paper combines the image features to construct a neural network-based ancient architecture decoration art data system model, and graphically expresses the static construction mode and dynamic construction process of the architecture group. Based on this, three-dimensional model reconstruction and scene simulation experiments of architecture groups are realized. In order to verify the performance effect of the system proposed in this paper, it is verified through simulation and performance testing, and data visualization is performed through statistical methods. The result of the study shows that the digitalization effect of the ancient architecture decoration art proposed in this paper is good.

The problem of applying neural networks to calculate ratings used in banking in the decision-making process on granting or not granting loans to borrowers is considered. The task is to determine the rating function of the borrower based on a set of statistical data on the effectiveness of loans provided by the bank. When constructing a regression model to calculate the rating function, it is necessary to know its general form. If so, the task is to calculate the parameters that are included in the expression for the rating function. In contrast to this approach, in the case of using neural networks, there is no need to specify the general form for the rating function. Instead, certain neural network architecture is chosen and parameters are calculated for it on the basis of statistical data. Importantly, the same neural network architecture can be used to process different sets of statistical data. The disadvantages of using neural networks include the need to calculate a large number of parameters. There is also no universal algorithm that would determine the optimal neural network architecture. As an example of the use of neural networks to determine the borrower's rating, a model system is considered, in which the borrower's rating is determined by a known non-analytical rating function. A neural network with two inner layers, which contain, respectively, three and two neurons and have a sigmoid activation function, is used for modeling. It is shown that the use of the neural network allows restoring the borrower's rating function with quite acceptable accuracy.

Blind Image

Image deconvolution has been an important issue recently. It has two kinds of approaches: non-blind and blind. Non-blind deconvolution is a classic problem of image deblurring, which assumes that the PSF is known and does not change universally in space. Recently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been used for non-blind deconvolution. Though CNNs can deal with complex changes for unknown images, some CNN-based conventional methods can only handle small PSFs and does not consider the use of large PSFs in the real world. In this paper we propose a non-blind deconvolution framework based on a CNN that can remove large scale ringing in a deblurred image. Our method has three key points. The first is that our network architecture is able to preserve both large and small features in the image. The second is that the training dataset is created to preserve the details. The third is that we extend the images to minimize the effects of large ringing on the image borders. In our experiments, we used three kinds of large PSFs and were able to observe high-precision results from our method both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Autonomous landing of rotary wing type unmanned aerial vehicles is a challenging problem and key to autonomous aerial fleet operation. We propose a method for localizing the UAV around the helipad, that is to estimate the relative position of the helipad with respect to the UAV. This data is highly desirable to design controllers that have robust and consistent control characteristics and can find applications in search – rescue operations. AI-based neural network is set up for helipad detection, followed by optimization by the localization algorithm. The performance of this approach is compared against fiducial marker approach, demonstrating good consensus between two estimations

Abstract Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) prediction is one of the most critical issues in drug development and health. Proposing appropriate computational methods for predicting unknown DDI with high precision is challenging. We proposed "NDD: Neural network-based method for drug-drug interaction prediction" for predicting unknown DDIs using various information about drugs. Multiple drug similarities based on drug substructure, target, side effect, off-label side effect, pathway, transporter, and indication data are calculated. At first, NDD uses a heuristic similarity selection process and then integrates the selected similarities with a nonlinear similarity fusion method to achieve high-level features. Afterward, it uses a neural network for interaction prediction. The similarity selection and similarity integration parts of NDD have been proposed in previous studies of other problems. Our novelty is to combine these parts with new neural network architecture and apply these approaches in the context of DDI prediction. We compared NDD with six machine learning classifiers and six state-of-the-art graph-based methods on three benchmark datasets. NDD achieved superior performance in cross-validation with AUPR ranging from 0.830 to 0.947, AUC from 0.954 to 0.994 and F-measure from 0.772 to 0.902. Moreover, cumulative evidence in case studies on numerous drug pairs, further confirm the ability of NDD to predict unknown DDIs. The evaluations corroborate that NDD is an efficient method for predicting unknown DDIs. The data and implementation of NDD are available at https://github.com/nrohani/NDD.
