DBF‐Net: A Deep Bidirectional Fusion Network for 6D Object Pose Estimation with Sparse Linear Transformer by Xuan Fan, Tao An, Hongbo Gao, Tao Xie, Lijun Zhao, Ruifeng Li

“…A deep bidirectional fusion network is developed, DBF‐Net, achieving efficient yet accurate 6D object pose estimation. Specifically, a sparse linear Transformer (SLT) with linear computation complexity is introduced to effectively leverage cross‐modal semantic resemblance during the feature extraction stage, such that it fully models semantic associations between various modalities and efficiently aggregates the globally enhanced features of each modality. …”

Deep learning-based prediction of multi-level just noticeable distortion by Haifeng XU, Hongkui WANG, Haibing YIN, Chuqiao CHEN

“…Visual just noticeable distortion (JND) directly reflects the sensitivity of the human visual system to visual signal noise, and is widely used in image and video processing.Aiming at the multilevel prediction problem of video JND threshold, it was transformed into the prediction problem of satisfied user ratio (SUR) curve, and a feature fusion-based SUR curve prediction model was proposed.The model was mainly divided into key frame extraction module, feature extraction and fusion module, and SUR score regression module.In the key frame extraction module, according to the visual perception mechanism, the spatial-temporal domain perception complexity was proposed and used as the video key frame judgment index.In the feature extraction and fusion module, a multi-scale dense residual network was proposed based on dense residual block (RDB) to realize image feature extraction and multi-scale fusion.The experimental results show that the proposed SUR curve prediction model is overall better than the existing models in terms of JND prediction accuracy and reduces the time cost by 8.1% on average in terms of operational efficiency.Meanwhile, the model can also be used to predict other layers of JND thresholds, which can be directly applied to video multilevel perceptual coding optimization.…”
