Due to the explosive development of location-based services (LBS), localization has attracted significant research attention over the past decade. Among the associated techniques, wireless fingerprint positioning has garnered much interest due to its compatibility with existing hardware. At present, with the widespread deployment of long-term evolution (LTE) networks and the uniqueness of wireless information fingerprints, fingerprint positioning based on LTE networks is the mainstream method for outdoor positioning. However, in order to improve its accuracy, this method needs to collect enough data at a large number of reference points, which is a labor-intensive task. In this paper, experimental data are collected at different reference points and then converted into wavelet feature maps. Then, a Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DCGAN) is leveraged to generate a symmetric fingerprint database. Localization is then carried out by the proposed Deep Residual Network (Resnet), which is capable of learning reliable features from a fingerprint image database. To further increase the robustness of the positioning system, a variety of data enhancement methods are used. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate that the generated symmetric fingerprint database and proposed Resnet reduce the manpower required for fingerprint database collection and improve the accuracy of the outdoor positioning system.

Recently, generative adversarial network (GAN)-based methods for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification have attracted research attention due to their ability to alleviate the challenges brought by having limited labeled samples. However, several studies have demonstrated that existing GAN-based HSI classification methods are limited in redundant spectral knowledge and cannot extract discriminative characteristics, thus affecting classification performance. In addition, GAN-based methods always suffer from the model collapse, which seriously hinders their development. In this study, we proposed a semi-supervised adaptive weighting feature fusion generative adversarial network (AWF2-GAN) to alleviate these problems. We introduced unlabeled data to address the issue of having a small number of samples. First, to build valid spectral–spatial feature engineering, the discriminator learns both the dense global spectrum and neighboring separable spatial context via well-designed extractors. Second, a lightweight adaptive feature weighting component is proposed for feature fusion; it considers four predictive fusion options, that is, adding or concatenating feature maps with similar or adaptive weights. Finally, for the mode collapse, the proposed AWF2-GAN combines supervised central loss and unsupervised mean minimization loss for optimization. Quantitative results on two HSI datasets show that our AWF2-GAN achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art GAN-based methods.

Fingerprint positioning based on WiFi in coal mines has received much attention because of the widespread application of WiFi. Fingerprinting techniques have developed rapidly due to the efforts of many researchers. However, the off-line construction of the radio fingerprint database is a tedious and time-consuming process. When the underground environments change, it may be necessary to update the signal received signal strength indication (RSSI) of all reference points, which will affect the normal working of a personnel positioning system. To solve this problem, an adaptive construction and update method based on a quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization–user-location trajectory feedback (QPSO–ULTF) for a radio fingerprint database is proposed. The principle of ULTF is that the mobile terminal records and uploads the related dataset in the process of user’s walking, and it forms the user-location track with RSSI through the analysis and processing of the positioning system server. QPSO algorithm is used for the optimal radio fingerprint match between the RSSI of the access point (AP) contained in the dataset of user-location track and the calibration samples to achieve the adaptive generation and update of the radio fingerprint samples. The experimental results show that the radio fingerprint database generated by the QPSO–ULTF is similar to the traditional radio fingerprint database in the statistical distribution characteristics of the signal received signal strength (RSS) at each reference point. Therefore, the adaptive radio fingerprint database can replace the traditional radio fingerprint database. The comparable results of well-known traditional positioning methods demonstrate that the radio fingerprint database generated or updated by the QPSO–ULTF has a good positioning effect, which can ensure the normal operation of a personnel positioning system.

Identifying adversarial examples is beneficial for understanding deep networks and developing robust models. However, existing attacking methods for image object detection have two limitations: weak transferability---the generated adversarial examples often have a low success rate to attack other kinds of detection methods, and high computation cost---they need much time to deal with video data, where many frames need polluting. To address these issues, we present a generative method to obtain adversarial images and videos, thereby significantly reducing the processing time. To enhance transferability, we manipulate the feature maps extracted by a feature network, which usually constitutes the basis of object detectors. Our method is based on the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework, where we combine a high-level class loss and a low-level feature loss to jointly train the adversarial example generator. Experimental results on PASCAL VOC and ImageNet VID datasets show that our method efficiently generates image and video adversarial examples, and more importantly, these adversarial examples have better transferability, therefore being able to simultaneously attack two kinds of  representative object detection models: proposal based models like Faster-RCNN and regression based models like SSD.

Target recognition is a key task and a difficult technique in underwater acoustic signal processing. One of the most challenging problem is that the label information of the underwater acoustic samples is scarce or missing. To solve the problem, this paper presents a local skip connection u-shaped architecture network(U-Net)based on the convolutional neural network(CNN).To this end, the network architecture is designed cleverly to generate a contracting path and an expansive path to achieve the extraction of different scale features. More importantly, a local skip connection mechanism is proposed to optimize classification rates by reusing former feature maps in contracting path. The experimental results of the measured dataset demonstrate the recognition accuracy of the model is better than that of deep belief network(DBN) and generative adversarial network(GAN) networks.Further research on three kinds of network by visualization method shows that the proposed network can learn more effective feature information with limited samples.

Panchromatic (PAN) images contain abundant spatial information that is useful for earth observation, but always suffer from low-resolution ( LR) due to the sensor limitation and large-scale view field. The current super-resolution (SR) methods based on traditional attention mechanism have shown remarkable advantages but remain imperfect to reconstruct the edge details of SR images. To address this problem, an improved SR model which involves the self-attention augmented Wasserstein generative adversarial network ( SAA-WGAN) is designed to dig out the reference information among multiple features for detail enhancement. We use an encoder-decoder network followed by a fully convolutional network (FCN) as the backbone to extract multi-scale features and reconstruct the High-resolution (HR) results. To exploit the relevance between multi-layer feature maps, we first integrate a convolutional block attention module (CBAM) into each skip-connection of the encoder-decoder subnet, generating weighted maps to enhance both channel-wise and spatial-wise feature representation automatically. Besides, considering that the HR results and LR inputs are highly similar in structure, yet cannot be fully reflected in traditional attention mechanism, we, therefore, designed a self augmented attention (SAA) module, where the attention weights are produced dynamically via a similarity function between hidden features; this design allows the network to flexibly adjust the fraction relevance among multi-layer features and keep the long-range inter information, which is helpful to preserve details. In addition, the pixel-wise loss is combined with perceptual and gradient loss to achieve comprehensive supervision. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other SR methods in terms of both objective evaluation and visual effect.

AbstractThe technique of facial attribute manipulation has found increasing application, but it remains challenging to restrict editing of attributes so that a face’s unique details are preserved. In this paper, we introduce our method, which we call a mask-adversarial autoencoder (M-AAE). It combines a variational autoencoder (VAE) and a generative adversarial network (GAN) for photorealistic image generation. We use partial dilated layers to modify a few pixels in the feature maps of an encoder, changing the attribute strength continuously without hindering global information. Our training objectives for the VAE and GAN are reinforced by supervision of face recognition loss and cycle consistency loss, to faithfully preserve facial details. Moreover, we generate facial masks to enforce background consistency, which allows our training to focus on the foreground face rather than the background. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can generate high-quality images with varying attributes, and outperforms existing methods in detail preservation.

Corneal ulcer is a common leading cause of corneal blindness. It is difficult to accurately segment corneal ulcers due to the following problems: large differences in the pathological shapes between point-flaky and flaky corneal ulcers, blurred boundary, noise interference, and the lack of sufficient slit-lamp images with ground truth. To address these problems, in this paper, we proposed a novel semi-supervised multi-scale self-transformer generative adversarial network (Semi-MsST-GAN) that can leverage unlabeled images to improve the performance of corneal ulcer segmentation in fluorescein staining of slit-lamp images. Firstly, to improve the performance of segmenting the corneal ulcer regions with complex pathological features, we proposed a novel multi-scale self-transformer network (MsSTNet) as the MsST-GAN generator, which can guide the model to aggregate the low-level weak semantic features with the high-level strong semantic information and adaptively learn the spatial correlation in feature maps. Then, to further improve the segmentation performance by leveraging unlabeled data, the semi-supervised approach based on the proposed MsST-GAN was explored to solve the problem of the lack of slit-lamp images with corresponding ground truth. The proposed Semi-MsST-GAN was comprehensively evaluated on the public SUSTech-SYSU dataset, which contains 354 labeled and 358 unlabeled fluorescein staining slit-lamp images. The results showed that, compared with other state-of-the-art methods, our proposed method achieves better performance with comparable efficiency.

The performance of the facial landmark detection model will be in trouble when it is under occlusion condition. In this paper, we present an effective framework with the objective of addressing the occlusion problem for facial landmark detection, which includes a generative adversarial network with improved autoencoders (GAN-IAs) and deep regression networks. In this model, GAN-IA can restore the occluded face region by utilizing skip concatenation among feature maps to keep more details. Meanwhile, self-attention mechanism that is effective in modeling long-range dependencies is employed to recover harmonious images for occluded faces. Deep regression networks are used to learn a nonlinear mapping from facial appearance to facial shape. Benefited from the mutual cooperation of GAN-IA and deep regression networks, a robust facial landmark detection model is achieved for the occlusion problem and the performance of the model achieves obviously improvement on challenging datasets.

In recent years, a series of research experiments have been conducted on WiFi-based gesture recognition. However, current recognition systems are still facing the challenge of small samples and environmental dependence. To deal with the problem of performance degradation caused by these factors, we propose a WiFi-based gesture recognition system, WiGAN, which uses Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to extract and generate gesture features. With GAN, WiGAN expands the data capacity to reduce time cost and increase sample diversity. The proposed system extracts and fuses multiple convolutional layer feature maps as gesture features before gesture recognition. After fusing features, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is exploited for human activity classification because of its accuracy and convenience. The key insight of WiGAN is to generate samples and merge multi-grained feature maps in our designed GAN, which not only enhances the data but also allows the neural network to select different grained features for gesture recognition. According to the result of experiments conducted on two existing datasets, the average recognition accuracy of WiGAN reaches 98% and 95.6%, respectively, outperforming the existing system. Moreover, the recognition accuracy under different experimental environments and different users shows the robustness of WiGAN.
