Novel Target

The efficient target tracking algorithm researches have become current research focus of intelligent robots. The main problems of target tracking process in mobile robot face environmental uncertainty. They are very difficult to estimate the target states, illumination change, target shape changes, complex backgrounds, and other factors and all affect the occlusion in tracking robustness. To further improve the target tracking’s accuracy and reliability, we present a novel target tracking algorithm to use visual saliency and adaptive support vector machine (ASVM). Furthermore, the paper’s algorithm has been based on the mixture saliency of image features. These features include color, brightness, and sport feature. The execution process used visual saliency features and those common characteristics have been expressed as the target’s saliency. Numerous experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and timeliness of the proposed target tracking algorithm in video sequences where the target objects undergo large changes in pose, scale, and illumination.

Target tracking is a significant topic in the field of computer vision. In this paper, the target tracking algorithm based on deep Siamese network is studied. Aiming at the situation that the tracking process is not robust, such as drift or miss the target, the tracking accuracy and robustness of the algorithm are improved by improving the feature extraction part and online update part. This paper adds SE-block and temporal attention mechanism (TAM) to the framework of Siamese neural network. SE-block can refine and extract features; different channels are given different weights according to their importance which can improve the discrimination of the network and the recognition ability of the tracker. Temporal attention mechanism can update the target state by adjusting the weights of samples at current frame and historical frame to solve the model drift caused by the existence of similar background. We use cross-entropy loss to distinguish the targets in different sequences so that their distance in the feature domains is longer and the features are easier to identify. We train and test the network on three benchmarks and compare with several state-of-the-art tracking methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm proposed is superior to other methods in tracking effect diagram and evaluation criteria. The proposed algorithm can solve the occlusion problem effectively while ensuring the real-time performance in the process of tracking.

Microcalcification Detection

Microcalcification is the most important landmark information for early breast cancer. At present, morphological artificial observation is the main method for clinical diagnosis of such diseases, but it is easy to cause misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. The present study proposes an algorithm for detecting microcalcification on mammography for early breast cancer. Firstly, the contrast characteristics of mammograms are enhanced by Contourlet transformation and morphology (CTM). Secondly, split the ROI by the improved K-means algorithm. Thirdly, calculate grayscale feature, shape feature, and Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) for the ROI region. The Adaptive support vector machine (ASVM) is used as a tool to classify the rough calcification point and the false calcification point. Under the guidance of a professional doctor, 280 normal images and 120 calcification images were selected for experimentation, of which 210 normal images and 90 images with calcification images were used for training classification. The remaining 100 are used to test the algorithm. It is found that the accuracy of the automatic classification results of the Adaptive support vector machine (ASVM) algorithm reaches 94%, and the experimental results are superior to similar algorithms. The algorithm overcomes various difficulties in microcalcification detection and has great clinical application value.
