Image anomaly detection holds significant potential across various domains. The scarcity of anomaly samples in real-world scenarios makes unsupervised anomaly detection more practical, as acquiring a substantial number of anomaly samples is often challenging. Despite the progress made by image reconstruction-based methods in this task, their reliance on fuzzy reconstruction images and the complexity of post-processing have posed challenges to the overall performance of anomaly detection. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel Enhanced Reverse Distillation Guided Segmentation Network(ERDS-Net). Unlike conventional approaches, this network consolidates the image reconstruction and anomaly detection into a unified process, leveraging feature maps from the intermediate layers of both the encoder and decoder for segmentation. In addition, our model fully leverages a batch-wise attention mechanism, focusing on more challenging samples. This method aims to enhance overall performance by simplifying the process and mitigating the adverse effects of blurriness and complex post-processing. Moreover, this paper utilizes a self-supervised approach for training in order to extract additional information from unlabeled data. Experimental results demonstrate the outstanding effectiveness of the proposed Enhanced Reverse Distillation Guided Segmentation Network on the MVTec dataset. In comparison to traditional image reconstruction-based methods, the new approach exhibits superior performance in anomaly detection and localization tasks, demonstrating enhanced robustness with various metrics.
Hybrid precoding in cell-free massive MIMO (CF-mMIMO) faces many challenges, e.g., large cascaded beamspace and high signaling overhead. In this letter, we propose a two-stage distributed beam selection for CF- mMIMO hybrid precoding. Each base station (BS) first learns an efficient beamspace compression with a deep neural network (DNN) from the local received signal strength indicator (RSSI), based on which good beam-selection labels are obtained with a proposed potential game algorithm. By learning the mapping from local RSSI to the corresponding label, a DenseNet-based online local beam selection can be realized at each BS. Simulations verify the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.
With the increasing sensing and computing power of vehicles, beam selection solutions based on deep learning (DL) and sensor data have attracted attention in vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) scenarios. The existing DL-based beam selection solutions generally provide a single global model for all vehicles. However, since the data distributions across vehicles are generally different in practice, the single model may not be suitable for all vehicles. In this letter, we propose a novel personalized beam selection solution, in which each user has a tailored model. Furthermore, we propose a mask-based pre-training and fine-tuning algorithm to accomplish the personalization for beam selection. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed personalized solution has better performance than the conventional baselines.
Side information, like light detection and ranging data, is promising to help the millimeter wave (mmWave) system achieve efficient link configuration through machine learning methods. However, collecting and using this information may violate user privacy. In this letter, we propose a novel privacy-preserved split learning (SL) solution for the beam selection problem, in which the raw data is not uploaded during training and inference. In particular, it uses the proposed feature mix method to get better generalization performance and robustness to non-independently identically distribution (non-iid) data. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms learning-based baselines (e.g. the original SL and federated learning) in a variety of settings.
Ultra-Dense Network (UDN) has become a key technology in 5G communication systems. By deploying low power micro base stations (BSs) densely and flexibly to reduce the distance between access nodes and user equipments (UEs), the spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency of the network can be improved effectively. But at the same time, it also poses new challenges for power control and user association. In this paper, the joint optimization problem of user association and power control of the downlink in a UDN scenario is considered. To make full use of channel information, we build a graph model with UEs as nodes and leverage the Spectral Clustering algorithm for user association. Then we build a graph model with BSs as nodes for the UDN scenario and train an unsupervised graph neural network to achieve power allocation. The analysis of the simulation results verifies the convergence of the proposed scheme which is effective in achieving user association and power control in UDN.
Salient object detection is a fundamental computer vision task. The majority of current algorithms focus on the use of edge information. However, these algorithms are limited to one-way auxiliary training or feature fusion to improve salient features. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for salient object detection, called Bi-Directional Selectivity Refinement Network (BSRN). Our framework aims to simultaneously refine salient features and perfect edge features through a Bi-directional Selectivity Refinement Module (BSRM). In this process, we innovatively combine short connections and attention mechainsm to fully use multi-scale features, selectively enhance features, reduce redundancy and suppress distractors. Besides, in order to improve the adaptability to detect multi-scale objects and achieve better result, we also propose a Multi-scale Feature Extraction Module (MFEM) to capture global contextual information. Extensive experiments conducted on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms 10 similar methods.
The beamforming technology of the new fifth generation (5G) communication technology, different from the conventional ones, is updated by millimeter-wave technology, which makes the modeling of transmission behavior more difficult. In this paper, we propose a more accurate model of 5G transmission behavior, considering a complex transmission environment with randomly distributed interferences. Moreover, based on the proposed model, we give a method of estimating the optimal density of the base stations, distributed in the certain environment. Monte Carlo Simulations in this paper support the validity of our estimation model.
There emerges an increasing need to stimulate trustworthy computer-aided authentication to provide solid technical support in commerce. Recently, remarkable advances have been made in text recognition, primarily driven by the success of Faster R-CNN [1] and DenseNet [2]. However, these networks failed to realize superb identification of business license, exposing accurate object detection as a bottleneck. In this work, we have introduced the multi-thread business license identification system based on modified DenseNet that achieves improvement of precision, simultaneously enabling specific management of license number. Experimental results validate that our system surpasses the original result by a relatively large margin in accuracy, further emphasizing the significance of the independent branch for license number.
Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made a big splash in the field of semantic segmentation, achieving very high segmentation accuracy. In order to meet the requirement of real-time inference, existing methods increase inference speed by reducing the image resolution, leading to lower segmentation performance. We propose in this work a multi-level feature fusion network referred to as MLFFNet that utilizes a novel deep neural network architecture for efficient and real-time semantic segmentation. To strike a balance between speed and performance, MLFFNet substantially reduces the computational complexity by using a lightweight feature extraction network to implement feature reuse through multi-level feature fusion. In addition, MLFFNet targets at excellent segmentation performance through a channel attention mechanism and dilated convolutions with different rates. Specifically, MLFFNet achieves 72.6% mIoU on Cityscapes with the speed of 68.3 FPS on one NVIDIA Titan X card, which is significantly faster than the existing methods with comparable performance.
Fine-grained visual recognition is challenging since the inter-category differences are more subtle compared with the conspicuous intra-category variations. Bilinear pooling that captures the second-order statistics of convolutional features has proved to be effective in such tasks. Since common bilinear methods neglect the original shallow feature information extracted from basic convolutional neural networks, we introduce a novel weakly supervised Hybrid-order and Multi-stream Convolutional Neural Network (HM-CNN) to address this problem. The model applies multi-scale fusion to integrate feature maps at all scales, and then employs hybrid-order pooling to combine the first-order statistics with the second-order bilinear features across spatial locations. Additionally, a cross multi-stream framework built on three basic networks is utilized to enhance the robustness of our model. Results demonstrate that the HM-CNN significantly improves the accuracy by 1-3% than the state-of-the-art models on three popular fine-grained recognition datasets.
Different from the conventional receive scheme for millimetre wave (mmWave) communication, this study proposes a multi-beam receive scheme to improve the quality of the received signal and enhance the robustness of the system. The authors proposal is firstly formulated as an optimisation problem, where each signal received by different beams is combined through phase compensation to harvest more transmission energy. Then the original problem is divided into a series of sub-problems and an analytical solution is further obtained for each sub-problem. Furthermore, considering the spatial sparsity of the mmWave channel, they propose further a low-computational complexity algorithm by choosing a few candidate codewords with non-negligible receive signal power. Numerical results show that their proposal achieves remarkable performance improvements even with a small size codebook and is more robust for different scenarios, especially for a non-line of sight scenario. Compared with doubling receive antennas to obtain diversity gain, their proposal obtains larger signal-to-noise ratio gain while using fewer hardware resources.

Millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input single-output (MISO) technologies provide a possibility for using the available wireless communication infrastructure to realize full dimension (FD) positioning. In this paper, we propose a novel beam training based positioning and angle of departure (AoD) estimation algorithm. The positioning process is formulated as a minimization problem of the sum distance square between the position of the user equipment (UE) and a point on each ray of access points. By solving the minimization problem, an analytical solution of the position of the UE is derived. Since the direction vector, i.e., AoD information, is the core of positioning algorithm, we propose a beam training based AoD estimation method which consists of coarse and fine estimation phases to obtain the AoD of the propagation path. Numerical results show that the proposed AoD estimation algorithm achieves satisfactory performance when 3 dB beamwidth cover all the direction of the paths and has relative high accuracy even all direction is not completely covered. Compared with least square estimation for FD positioning, our approach estimates the position of the UE more accurate.

Low Rank Matrix Factorization (LRMF) is a classical problem that arises in a wide range of practical contexts, especially in collaborative filtering, dimension reduction, etc. In this paper, a stochastic alternating minimization approach applied to LRMF problem is proposed. The main idea of the approach is to randomly sample partial rows of the matrix to perform parameter update during training using alternating minimization, which not only reduces the computational requirements but also declines the over-fitting risk. The simulation results on synthetic datasets show that both alternating minimization-based algorithm and the proposed stochastic variant are applicable for LRMF task, while the proposed algorithm is more competitive for large-scale datasets due to its low-complexity and scalability.
In this paper, we investigate the channel estimation and time synchronization problem based on the zero correlation zone (ZCZ) sequence set for single carrier multiple-input multiple-output frequency domain equalization (SC-MIMO-FDE). A factorized construction of ZCZ sequence set considering the properties of both ZCZ and nonzero correlation zone (NCZ) is proposed with efficient generator and correlator, which can be in favor of timing synchronization and channel estimation both in performance and computation complexity. Using the ZCZ sequence set, a new algorithm called twice section-maximum algorithm is put forward to eliminate energy interference among channels from different transmitting antennas to the same receiving antenna. The performance achieved by the developed algorithm which performs joint timing synchronization and channel estimation with lower computational cost is better than that of the conventional method.

In this paper, an enhanced power-save multi-poll (PSMP) combining conventional PSMP with Downlink Multiuser Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) is proposed to further improve the energy efficiency of wireless local area network (WLAN) communication system, especially for multiuser WLAN system. The energy consumption in PSMP downlink transmission time (DTT) of the conventional PSMP and the proposed enhanced PSMP scheme are compared via extensive numerical simulation. Numerical analysis results show that the proposed enhanced PSMP scheme consumes less energy than the conventional PSMP when each station (STA) only has one spatial stream to receive. As the number of spatial streams of STAs in conventional PSMP increases, the energy consumption of our proposed enhanced PSMP is still lower than conventional PSMP for short PSDU.
