Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Computer vision and pattern recognition are fundamental problems in artificial intelligence, which also belongs to the application scopes of mathematical theory and tools. Computer vision enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos, and other visual inputs, and take action or make recommendations based on that information. Pattern recognition is the process of recognizing patterns using a machine learning algorithm. In recent years, there has been a rapid expansion of computer vision and pattern recognition, and a wide range of applications based on computer vision and pattern recognition can be seen everywhere, e.g., object detection, recognition, segmentation, classification, content generation, and multimedia analysis. In this Special Issue, we aim to assemble recent advances in computer vision, pattern recognition, and related extended applications.

Transformer-based models for action segmentation have achieved high frame-wise accuracy against challenging benchmarks. However, they rely on multiple decoders and self-attention blocks for informative representations, whose huge computing and memory costs remain an obstacle to handling long video sequences and practical deployment. To address these issues, we design a light transformer model for the action segmentation task, named LASFormer, with a novel encoder–decoder structure based on three key designs. First, we propose a receptive field-guided distillation to realize mode reduction, which can overcome more generally the gap in semantic feature structure between the intermediate features by aggregated temporal dilation convolution (ATDC). Second, we propose a simplified implicit attention to replace self-attention to avoid its quadratic complexity. Third, we design an efficient action relation encoding module embedded after the decoder, where the temporal graph reasoning introduces an inductive bias that adjacent frames are more likely to belong to the same class of model global temporal relations, and the cross-model fusion structure integrates frame-level and segment-level temporal clues, which can avoid over-segmentation independent of multiple decoders, thus reducing further computational complexity. Extensive experiments have verified the effectiveness and efficiency of the framework. Against the challenging 50Salads, GTEA, and Breakfast benchmarks, LASFormer significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in accuracy, edit score, and F1 score. Full article

Infrared and visible image fusion aims to fuse the thermal information of infrared images and the texture information of visible images into images that are more in compliance with people’s visual perception characteristics. However, in the existing related work, the fused images have incomplete contextual information and poor fusion results. This paper presents a new image fusion algorithm—OMOFuse. At first, both the channel and spatial attention mechanisms are optimized by a DCA (dual-channel attention) mechanism and an ESA (enhanced spatial attention) mechanism. Then, an ODAM (optimized dual-attention mechanism) module is constructed to further improve the integration effect. Moreover, a MO module is used to improve the network’s feature extraction capability for contextual information. Finally, there is the loss function ℒ from the three parts of SSL (structural similarity loss), PL (perceptual loss), and GL (gap loss). Extensive experiments on three major datasets are performed to demonstrate that OMOFuse outperforms the existing image fusion methods in terms of quantitative determination, qualitative detection, and superior generalization capabilities. Further evidence of the effectiveness of our algorithm in this study are provided. Full article
