Pose matters: Pose guided graph attention network for person re-identification

Person re-Identification (reID), aiming at retrieving a person across different cameras, has been playing a more and more important role in the construction of smart city and social security. For deep-learning-based reID methods, it has been proved that using local feature together with global feature could help to give robust representation for person retrieval. Human pose information can provide the locations of human skeleton to effectively guide the network to pay more attention to these key areas, and can also help to reduce the noise distractions from background or occlusions. Based on human pose, a Pose Guided Graph Attention (PGGA) network is proposed in this paper, which is a multi-branch architecture consisting of one branch for global feature and two branches for local key-point features. A graph attention convolution layer is carefully designed to re-assign the contribution weight of each extracted local feature by modeling the similarity relations. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on discriminative feature learning. Our model achieves the state-of-the-art performance on several mainstream evaluation datasets. A plenty of ablation studies and different kinds of comparison experiments are conducted to prove the effectiveness of this work, including the tests on occluded datasets and cross-domain datasets. Moreover, we further design supplementary tests in practical scenario to indicate the advantage of our work in real-word applications.

物理启发的深度学习模型及其在热端部件散热中的应用

热端部件散热是众多空天设备的关键技术。表面温度分布是散热设计中用到的重要信息,常规的解析建模手段和机器学习方法均无法有效地表达此类高维信息。近年来兴起的图像深度学习算法是解决表面温度信息预测的有效手段。然而,现有的基于大数据的深度学习方法往往对于物理数据和小样本数据不适用,体现为泛化精度差、数据兼容性差、可解释性差。因此,有必要结合传热的先验知识发展物理启发的新型深度学习算法,以增强高自由度、高复杂度散热对象上的设计能力。本文基于卷积算子和有限差分求解方式的类比关系,提出了一种物理启发式的循环卷积神经网络。以横向出流的冲击冷却为例,开展了变计算域大小、变工况、变尺寸的批量数值模拟,获取了冲击冷却关键特征的小样本图像数据。进一步通过神经网络的训练,构建了多参数、大范围内有较好拟合能力的温度、传热系数、压力代理模型。研究结果表明,本文提出的物理启发神经网络模型,对于计算域大小没有限制,可以统一表达不同空间范围内获取的物理数据的共性规律。模型的各类超参设定均具有明确的物理意义,且与经典的微分方程求解理论有一定的类比关系,增强了神经网络调参的方向性。通过传热物理规律与黑箱模型的融合,本文实现了小样本多参数物理数据的共性建模。该方法可以迅速重构热端部件的高维分布信息,可服务于热端部件的快速分析设计以及优化。     

Time resolved study of laser triggered electric discharge spark in atmosphere: Machine learning approach

In this paper we analyze the possibilities of using machine learning algorithms for analysis of optical spectra of electric discharge spark in atmosphere. Breakdown in air can be initiated by intense laser pulse, making plasma which has a significant electrical conductivity. The formed plasma can be further maintained by electric current obtained from capacitor discharge. In such a case the capacitor voltage can be much lower than the striking voltage (the voltage needed to initiate the electric breakdown in air). Present setup has timing precision and low jitter of fast laser and arbitrary high energies corresponding to capacitance and voltage to which the capacitor is charged. We have used a streak camera equipped with a spectrograph to analyze optical emission of plasma obtained in this way. Q-switched Nd:Yag laser was used to achieve the initial breakdown in air. Machine learning methods were used in order to classify optical spectra of plasmas with different electron temperatures obtained with different excitation energies. We have shown that, instead of using the usual way of identifying the spectral peaks and calculating their intensity ratio, it is possible to train the computer software to recognize the spectra corresponding to different electron temperatures. Principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality of problem. We present possibilities of plasma electron temperature estimation based on several clustering algorithms.
