The inherent sparsity and irregular geometric structure of point clouds easily lead to feature deviations among different local regions. On the one hand, most existing approaches that directly acquire semantic features from different local regions suffer from reduced accuracy and stability while failing to exploit more discriminative information. On the other hand, relying solely on raw coordinates to implicitly represent geometric relationships cannot adequately capture explicit Euclidean geometric priors of point clouds for richer spatial encoding. To address the above issues, we propose a locally adaptive geometry-aware network. Its feature affine decoupling module employs semantic centroid-guided affine transformations to derive robust semantic features while enhancing discriminative feature extraction through a dual-path decoupling mechanism. The geometric relation enhancement module learns geometric priors within local regions to capture the local shape and geometric details of each point and transforms these into higher-order representations of spatial relations to explicit reasoning about point spatial layouts. The local adaptive geometry-aware module interactively captures geometric and semantic features within the point cloud through a dual-path architecture to establish precise spatial relationships and achieve geometry-aware perception of local shapes. The model was tested and validated on the S3DIS and ScanNetV2 datasets, achieving mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) scores of 77.9% and 71.8%, respectively. In addition, experiments were also conducted on the SemanticKITTI dataset. The validation results indicate that the method exhibits excellent segmentation performance in large-scale point cloud semantic segmentation scenarios.
Currently, existing point cloud semantic segmentation methods do not fully exploit surface geometric features. In particular, the depiction of object boundaries and the transition areas of curved surfaces is rather rough. On the other hand, the neighbourhood aggregation mostly follows a single strategy, making it difficult to simultaneously take into account the context and fine-grained differences and ignoring local details. To address these issues, this paper proposes a geometry-enhanced adaptive local feature aggregation network (GALA-Net). First, a geometric information embedding (GIE) module is introduced, which extracts pseudo-normal vectors and pseudo-curvatures of local point cloud regions as geometric priors, and incorporates multi-frequency sine-cosine encoding to capture multi-scale spatial relationships, yielding enhanced local geometric representations. Then, an adaptive feature fusion (AFF) module dynamically allocates fusion weights between semantic and geometric features, thereby alleviating channel coupling and neighbourhood noise amplification caused by simple concatenation. Next, a dual-path adaptive attention aggregation (DAAA) module jointly models semantic and positional attention and adaptively fuses them with max-pooled features to improve the robustness of local aggregation. In addition, a self-enhanced attention encoding (SEAE) module is designed to expand the feature representation space by extracting features through independent mapping branches and fusing them in a residual manner. The proposed model is evaluated on the S3DIS and ScanNetV2 datasets, achieving mIoU scores of 78.0% and 71.6%, respectively, which demonstrates its strong segmentation performance on indoor scenes.
Steel surface defect detection is a critical aspect in ensuring the quality of steel production. However, due to the small size, irregular shapes, and complex backgrounds of defects, existing detection algorithms face significant challenges in feature extraction and recognition, struggling to balance high accuracy with real-time performance. To address these issues, this study proposes an improved YOLOv8 model–CSG-YOLO, which integrates deformable convolution, a Simplified Cross-stage Partial Spatial Pyramid Pooling Fusion (SimCSPSPPF) module, and a Global Feature Pyramid Network (GFPN). The model aims to efficiently extract robust features of minor and irregular defects while meeting the stringent demands of industrial environments for real-time high-performance computing. First, we replace the standard convolutions in the last three C2f modules of the original YOLOv8 backbone with deformable convolution, enabling the model to adapt to the geometric deformations of irregular defects and significantly enhancing the flexibility of feature extraction. Second, we introduce the SimCSPSPPF module to replace the original SPPF module, enhancing the diversity and effectiveness of features through cross-layer feature fusion and multiscale pooling. Finally, we adopt the GFPN structure in place of the original PAFPN, enabling cross-scale global feature interaction to integrate richer contextual information. Experiments on the Northeastern University (NEU-DET) dataset show that CSG-YOLO achieves an mAP@0.5 of 76.1
To address the low segmentation accuracy of most deep learning-based point cloud networks-particularly the mis-segmentation of transition regions-which stems from a lack of interpoint interaction within local areas, substantial information loss from max-pooling operations, and the forced aggregation of heterogeneous semantic features during feature refinement, we propose a network named PointNeXt-CNM. In the feature optimization stage, a channel-level self-attention mechanism is used to adjust the point cloud features of local regions to enhance the information interactions between points within local regions. Then, a reverse aggregation method is used to integrate the adjusted local region point cloud features to enhance the information interactions between different local regions, which enhances the point cloud feature representation of the local regions and expands the model's receptive field. In the feature aggregation stage, mixed pooling (combining channel-level attention pooling and max pooling) is used to improve the proportion of critical information and preserve the distinct features of local regions to effectively alleviate the problem of information loss. In comparison experiments, compared with those of the PointNeXt-S model, the mIoU and OA of the PointNeXt-CNM model were improved by 3.1% and 2.02%, respectively, on the S3DIS dataset; the mIoU of the PointNeXt-CNM model was improved by 0.4% on the ShapeNetPart dataset; and the mAcc and OA of the PointNeXt-CNM model were improved by 1.54% and 0.16%, respectively, on the ModelNet40 dataset. The results show that the PointNeXt-CNM model achieved higher segmentation accuracy than various mainstream networks did, especially in transition regions.
Point cloud semantic segmentation is a crucial technique for accurately perceiving and understanding 3D scenes. However, due to the inherent sparsity and irregularity of point cloud data, it remains a highly challenging task. Most existing methods learn geometric features by directly relying on point coordinates, but they fail to exploit the intrinsic geometric structure of point clouds fully and lack effective interaction between features and geometric relationships, which leads to ambiguous local spatial perception. To address this issue, we propose a Hybrid Feature Affine and Geometric Context Aggregation Network (HGCA-Net). The network adaptively aligns point features via Hybrid Feature Affine (HFA), alleviating problems caused by sparsity and uneven density, and employs a novel Local Spherical Representation (LSR) to capture the non-Euclidean properties of point clouds. Based on this, we design a Local Geometric Relation Attention (LGRA) mechanism to enable interaction between point cloud features and geometric information, effectively learning local point cloud details. Finally, a Geometric Context Feature Aggregation (GCFA) module is introduced to enlarge the receptive field and reduce information loss. Experimental results show that HGCA-Net achieves 72.1
Because variability index CFAR (VI-CFAR) and switching variability index CFAR (SVI-CFAR) detectors are affected by the number and location of interference targets and the number of clutter reference cells, a nonhomogeneous environment cannot be recognized accurately, resulting in a detection performance decline in a nonhomogeneous environment. This paper proposes an adaptive censoring CFAR detector (AC-CFAR), which first calculates the position of the transition and then identifies whether the subreference window starting from the transition is in a homogeneous environment. Then, based on the position of the transition and whether the subreference window is in a homogeneous environment, an appropriate method was selected from CA-CFAR, GO-CFAR and OS-CFAR to calculate the detection threshold. Monte Carlo simulation results show that the detection performance of AC-CFAR is consistent with that of VI-CFAR and SVI-CFAR, and near that of CA-CFAR in a homogeneous environment, but its performance is better than that of VI-CFAR and SVI-CFAR in a multitarget environment with a large number of interference targets. In particular, the number of interference targets is uneven on both sides of the cell being tested. In a clutter edge environment with less clutter, the false alarm rate of AC-CFAR is marginally lower than that of VI-CFAR and SVI-CFAR.
Road damage detection plays a vital role in road safety maintenance. Minor road damage cannot often be identified efficiently because of the challenge of extracting damage information, which frequently lacks minor information. In addition, due to the irregular shape of alligator road damage, the performance of existing damage detection algorithms is seriously reduced. To solve the above problems, we propose an improved YOLOv5 model called YOLOv5-MCD for road damage detection. First, a multiscale dilated convolution module combined with an attention mechanism is proposed and used to replace the spatial pyramid pooling fast module in the neck of the original YOLOv5 model. Multiscale dilated convolution with a larger receptive field can be applied to obtain more damage feature information at different scales, and the attention mechanism aggregates the spatial and channel feature information of road damage images, allowing the model to pay more attention to damaged areas. Second, the cross-layer feature fusion method is proposed to merge more road damage features to enhance the original damage feature information. Finally, deformable convolution is used to improve the adaptability and performance of our method for complex alligator damage. Our method was tested and validated by the China-MotorBike RDD2022, and the F1-score and mAP@0.5 of our model were 93.5% and 95.5%, respectively. The experimental results show that our method can efficiently identify minor and alligator road damage and achieve better detection performance. (c) 2024 SPIE and IS&T
In order to solve the problem that the detection performance of the radar target detector decreases badly in non-homogeneous environments. Based on the actual echo clutter distribution, a Multiple Switching CFAR detector (MS-CFAR) is proposed. Firstly, the maximum reference units in the left and right reference sub windows are removed by censoring threshold. Then, compare the number of remaining reference cells in the left and right reference windows and variation index with the corresponding threshold respectively, and select the appropriate reference cells to accurately estimate the background noise power. Compared with the simulation and analysis results of other detectors, the proposed detector had the best detection performance and stability in multi-interfering targets, clutter edge and other non-homogenous environments. The results show that the proposed detector still has a good detection performance in non-homogeneous environments.

In view of the problem of high false alarm rate of OS-CFAR in clutter edge environment, proposes a CFAR algorithm based on ordered statistics and maximum reference cell selection. Firstly, the reference window is divided into several sub-reference windows. Then, the traditional OS-CFAR strategy is adopted to select reference cells in each sub-reference window. Finally, the reference cell with the highest background noise power is selected from the selected reference cells and multiplied by the threshold factor to obtain the detection threshold. Simulation results show that the detection performance of the improved CFAR is slightly lower than that of OS-CFAR in homogeneous environment and multi-target environment. However, in clutter edge environment, especially at false alarm peak, the performance of the improved CFAR is significantly better than that of OS-CFAR.
