Neighbor-Relationship-Based Adaptive Density Peak Clustering by Zhigang Su, Qian Gao, Jingtang Hao, Yue Wang, Bing Han

“…The Density Peak Clustering (DPC) algorithm encounters challenges such as difficulty in choosing cluster centers and the chain reaction caused by incorrect assignment of data points when clustering spatial datasets containing clusters with significant density differences or multi-peak clusters. To address these problems, in this paper, starting from enhancing the local density definition, optimizing the selection of cluster centers, and improving the assignment strategy of non-cluster center data points, an Adaptive DPC (NRA-DPC) algorithm is proposed based on the neighbor relationship. …”

Identification of Low‐Value Defects in Infrared Images of Porcelain Insulators Based on STCE‐YOLO Algorithm by Shaotong Pei, Weiqi Wang, Chenlong Hu, Keyu Li, Haichao Sun, Mianxiao Wu, Bo Lan

“…However, traditional detection methods have many shortcomings in the face of a complex environment and small target recognition. To solve the above problems, this paper optimizes the small target and complex environment problems in the low‐value defect recognition of insulator infrared images, and proposes the STCE‐YOLO algorithm: based on YOLOv8, the deformable large kernel attention is used to improve the detection ability of small targets; then the cross‐modal contextual feature module is applied to Integrate the features of different scales to reduce the computation of the model. …”
