• A Hole Repair Algorithm For Wireless Sensor Networks Based On Virtual Attractive Force Constraint  
  by Ting Hu 
  Abstract: There are some problems in the traditional algorithm, such as long running time and poor coverage effect. In this paper, a new algorithm based on virtual attractive force constraint is proposed. Based on the virtual attractive force model of intensity-based virtual force algorithm with boundary forces (IVFA-B), aiming at the particularity of ideal distance between heterogeneous network nodes, this paper analyzes the relationship between the perception radius of two heterogeneous nodes and the optimal distance between nodes when realizing the maximum coverage in grid. By combining the best distance and the best distance threshold of virtual force algorithm, the adaptability of heterogeneous network is provided. At the same time, the node moving probability is introduced into the node’s moving distance formula to repair the hole in wireless sensor network node. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better coverage effect and reduce the running time effectively, which proves that the proposed algorithm has better application performance.

• Unsupervised learning of local features for person re-identi?cation with loss funciton  
  by Lunzheng Tan, GuoLuan Chen, Rui Ding, Xia Limin 
  Abstract: Many methods for person re-identi?cation focus on making full use of local features, which typically requires either a comprehensive manual labeling or complex pretreatment. This paper proposes a novel loss function, termed feature channels dropout and de-similarity loss, which drives the autonomous learning of discriminative local features in Convolutional Neural Networks. The proposed loss function consists of two components. The first is a feature channels dropout component designed to compel each feature channel to be discriminative. A novel channel-dropout function and a cross-channel-element-max function are applied in this component. The second component is a de-similarity component that uses Pearson correlation coe?cient to constrain feature channels and ensure they differ from each other. This component is conducive to diverse local features mining. Extensive experiments on three large-scale re-identification datasets demonstrate that the feature channels dropout and de-similarity loss achieves superior performance compared with state-of-the-art methods.

• Fingerprint Liveness Detection Approaches: A SURVEY  
  by Mingyu Chen, Chengsheng Yuan, Ying Lv 
  Abstract: In contemporary society, with the popularity of smart wearable devices, people are more inclined to use convenient and efficient identity verification based on biometrics. Human fingerprints are one of the most commonly used biometric factors, which have the advantages of uniqueness, convenience and security. Compared with traditional password authentication, fingerprint authentication system has extremely high security, but it is still vulnerable to fingerprint spoofing attacks. Counterfeiters can imitate user fingerprints by using various human body simulation materials, thereby realizing illegal authentication and infringing user rights and interests, so liveness detection is quite necessary. According to the fingerprint image and biometric information obtained by the sensor, the fingerprint liveness detection (FLD) can distinguish whether the fingerprint is from a real person. This paper reviews the development history and the latest progress in the field of FLD. Both hardware and software based state-of-the-art methods are thoroughly presented to help researchers to carry out further research.

• Face Forgery Detection with Cross-Level Attention
  by Yaju Liu, Jianwei Fei, Peipeng Yu, Chengsheng Yuan, Haopeng Liang 
  Abstract: Currently, face videos manipulated using deep learning models are widely spread on social media, which violates personal privacy and may disturb social security. In this study, we start by discovering the essential differences between real and fake faces. To extract Multi-scale artifacts and increase the perceptual field of the downsampling layer, we introduce atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP). Considering the drawback that ASPP does not use all pixels for computation and may lose information, we design a Cross-Level Attention(CLA) module to interact with the output of the ASPP block with the backbone. Our proposed attention mechanism allows the network to focus on locally manipulated areas without destroying other features of the model. Experimental results on the large publicly available facial manipulation database Faceforensics++ show that our method effectively improves detection accuracy and generalization, and confirms that great detection performance is achieved even for compressed images.

• Analysis and optimization of RON loss via compound variable selection and BP neural network
  by Yunshu Dai, Jianwei Fei, Fei Gu, Chengsheng Yuan 
  Abstract: The loss of octane in gasoline refining process can cause huge economic losses. Reducing the loss of octane has high practical significance. However, octane loss involves many operations in gasoline refining process, which are coupled with each other and have a highly nonlinear relationship with octane loss. Therefore, the analyze and optimization of octane loss is a high-dimensional nonlinear programming problem. Therefore, this paper proposes a compound variable selection scheme. Based on the selection of independent variables by outlier filtering and high correlation filtering, the representative operations are selected by random forest and grey correlation analysis, and the octane loss is predicted by BP neural network and XGBoost algorithm. To optimize the octane loss, an operation optimization scheme based on fast gradient modification is proposed. Based on the octane loss prediction network, the main operations are gradually fine-tuned to reduce the octane loss.

  Abstract: This paper plan to develop the anomaly detection and multi-label anomaly classification in crowd scenes using the enhanced deep learning strategy. The two main phases of the proposed model are the anomaly detection and the multi-label anomaly classification. In the first phase of anomaly detection, pre-processing of frames is done by the Histogram Equalization, and patches are extracted from the video frames. The extracted patches are further subjected to the Convolutional Neural Network for obtaining the movement score and appearance score of the frame. The extraction of movement score and appearance score helps to know the deep insight of the object behavior in the video, which thus helps to detect whether the objects are anomaly or not. For detecting that, a threshold is fixed for the movement score and appearance score.

  Abstract: The rapid development of image synthesis technology has encouraged the spread of some fake news, making people gradually lose trust in digital media. The compression in the process of image propagation brings a major challenge to the existing face forgery detection method. In this paper, we propose a multi-task Deepfake detection method according to the motivation of illumination inconsistency between tampered and non-tampered areas. Specifically, we trained a Siamese network as a feature extractor to estimate the illumination, then distinguish the face image and predict the forged region through a U-shaped network. Our method has achieved great accuracy in classification tasks and can still maintain a good performance in compressing data. In addition, we can also show the intensity of tampering while locating the forged area.

  by RAJKISHUR MUDOI, Darilangi S. Lyngdoh 
  Abstract: In recent years, relay assisted communications have been extensively used for low power and long-distance transmission of information. The average symbol error rate (ASER) performance of a decode and forward (DF) relay assisted communication method is analysed using maximal ratio combining (MRC) as well as selection combining (SC) receiver at the destination node. All links of the wireless system are influenced by Nakagami-m fading distribution. The closed-form representation of ASER is derived using the MGF based approach for coherent as well as noncoherent modulation techniques. The results show an improvement in the ASER performance with the MRC receiver compared to the SC receiver at the destination node. The ASER performance improves with an enhancement of the fading parameter. The mathematical expressions are supported using computer simulations that give the correctness of the results.

  by Chen Huajun, Yanguang Cai 
  Abstract: The emphasis on this paper is about implementing an algorithm for vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), which is a key class of vehicle routing problem. Due to its NP-hard feature, it is quite difficult to solve it within acceptable calculation time. As a result, many metaheuristics have been developed to find suboptimal solutions to VRPTW. To settle the VRPTW, a hybrid discrete salp swarm algorithm (HDSSA) is put forward. To prove the property of this algorithm in solving solutions, the algorithm is applied to Solomon benchmark. Compared with existing methods, HDSSA provides relatively better results.

• Performance Modeling of Aloha Wireless Networks under the Influence of Varying Traffic Load Characteristics  
  by Ridhima Mehta  
  Abstract: Provisioning of simultaneous distributed channel access by multiple competing nodes in wireless communication system necessitates heterogeneous features to be satisfied for efficient network operation. These unique functions incorporate augmented utilization of scarce capacity and shared channel resources, and data delivery reliability across the network by mitigating packet collision frequency. In this work, we employ pure and slotted Aloha protocols for multiple-access resolution in wireless networks amidst the impact of diverse traffic characteristics induced by disparate inter-arrival times. Through rigorous simulation experiments, various network metrics are estimated and analyzed including collision multiplicity, collision rate, throughput, number of successfully received frames, and uplink channel utilization. The effects of miscellaneous traffic load profiles on the execution of random access-based channel coordination schemes is investigated via object-oriented discrete-event simulation modeling and genetic optimization. Furthermore, the efficient performance of our model is significantly compared with the previous works in terms of throughput and channel utilization.

  by Abderrahim El-Amrani, Bensalem Boukili, Ahmed El Hajjaji, Ismail Boumhidi 
  Abstract: This paper considers the problem of H? model reduction design for two-dimensional (2D) discrete Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems described by Roesser model, over nite frequency (FF) domain. The problem to be solved in the paper is to nd a reduced-order model such that the approximation error system is asymptotically stable, which is able to approximate the original T-S fuzzy system with comparatively small and minimized H? performance when frequency ranges of noises are known beforehand. Via the use of the generalized Kalman Yakubovich Popov (gKYP) lemma, new design conditions guaranteeing the FF H? model reduction are established in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). To highlight the effectiveness of the proposed H? model reduction design, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness and the less conservativeness of the proposed approach.

• A Low-rank LBP using Local Differential Polarization for Fingerprint Liveness Detection  
  by Chengsheng Yuan, Mingyu Chen, Yue Wu 
  Abstract: Local Binary Pattern (LBP), as a descriptor of local texture features, is used to extract local texture features of a fingerprint image. However, features extracted by LBP descriptor have a lot of noise, resulting in identification accuracy is lower. This paper proposes a low-rank LBP (LLBP) algorithm based on Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA), which overcomes the limitation of disturbance of some texture features. In addition, there are many blank areas that do not contain information around the fingerprint image, and these useless areas will also have a certain impact on the extraction of fin-gerprint features. Therefore, we propose a Local Differential Polarization (LDP) Algorithm to eliminate the influence of blank areas. Finally, we conducted an experiment with data sets of LivDet 2011 and LivDet 2013 to test our model. The results prove that classification performance of this method is superior to other algorithms.

• Optimal SVM Classifier based Cross-layer Design in Ad-hoc Wireless Network  
  by Ridhima Mehta  
  Abstract: The rapid advancement of wireless technology and routing devices has led to expeditious evolution of the ad-hoc type of networking. The infrastructure-less dynamic network with the error-prone wireless medium in the resource-constrained ad-hoc communication system poses several challenges for efficient routing and design optimization. In this paper, an optimal cross-layer design architecture for ad-hoc wireless network is developed based on the supervised categorization algorithm. Specifically, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification scheme is employed to evaluate the margin and error associated with the disparate features of a wireless communication system. This technique ensures that the margin obtained with the computed linear separating plane is maximum from the labeled training samples belonging to two different categories of a two-class problem. The contemplated networking attributes considered for the integrated application of cross-layer information exchange and binary SVM models include the throughput, persistence probability, and transmit power associated with the directed wireless links.

  by A.N.U. RAJ, Shiva Prakash 
  Abstract: Social distancing has been implemented to stop the COVID-19 outbreak, which is currently a major public health concern on a global scale. Telemedicine is used by medical professionals to monitor their patients, especially those with chronic diseases. However, various implementation-related risks including data breaches, access restrictions within the medical community, inaccurate diagnosis, etc are faced by traditional telemedicine. We proposed the enhanced decentralized smart healthcare system (DSHS) to reduce the risks associated with traditional telemedicine healthcare solutions that utilize blockchain-based smart contracts to monitor, supervise, and carry out transactions. An immutable Modified Merkel tree structure is used to hold the transaction for viewing and accessing revocation contracts on a public blockchain, updating and sharing patient health records with all entities. Performance evaluation is done on Ethereum Platform. The simulation results show that proposed framework outperforms existing telemedicine solutions by enhancing transparency, boosting efficiency, and reducing average latency in the system.

• Antenna Performance Enhancement Using Inter-Coupling Effect Reducing Mechanisms  
  by Gebrehiwet Gebrekrstos Lema  
  Abstract: Recently, thinning an antenna has resulted in to attractive antenna radiation characteristics enhancement. This performance enhancement using thin antenna array is achieved because the inter-coupling effects of the array elements are reduced. Though the thinning both reduces the weight of the antenna and enhances the radiation characteristics, iterative algorithms can further enhance the performance and hence, in this research, an optimizer algorithm and inter-coupling reducing mechanisms are applied. The excitation weights of the individual array elements are thinned by turning some of the elements turned off while some of the elements turned on. The purpose of the thinning is to enhance the antenna performances like reduced SLL, high directivity, reduced power consumption and flexible radiation pattern. The SLL attenuation mechanism is applied to reduce the SLL in addition to the SLL reduction using the thinning and beamforming. Hence, in this paper, the three techniques (thinning, beamforming and SLL attenuation) are proposed to be integrated to enhance the antenna radiation characteristics. In general, the proposed combined method has resulted in to much better SLL reduction, directivity improvement and power wastage reduction.

• Privacy-Preserving Image Retrieval Based on Additive Secret Sharing  
  by Zhihua Xia, Qi Gu, Lizhi Xiong, Wenhao Zhou 
  Abstract: The rapid growth of digital images motivates individuals to upload their images to the cloud server. To preserve privacy, image owners would prefer to encrypt the images before uploading, but it would limit the efficient usage of images. Plenty of schemes on privacy-preserving content-based image retrieval (PPCBIR) tries to seek the balance between security and retrieval ability. However, compared to the works in content-based image retrieval (CBIR), the existing schemes are far deficient in both accuracy and efficiency. In this paper, inspired by additive secret sharing technology, we propose a series of secure computation protocols and show their application in PPCBIR. The experiments and security analysis demonstrate the efficiency, accuracy, and security of our scheme.

  Abstract: Autonomous cooperative driving systems allow autonomous vehicles to operate safely. However, these driving systems are limited by the difficulty of retrieving, in a timely manner, the data needed for traffic. HD maps act as an additional sensor for the purpose of informing autonomous vehicles in advance by changes in the traffic environment. So you have to update the HD map. In our solution we have proposed a service that allows to notify the vehicles by the updates of the traffic environment in order to minimize the dangerous situations.

• Bi-LSTM with Attention Pooling Based on Joint Motion and Difference Entropy for Action Recognition  
  by Lunzheng Tan, Chunping Huang, Xia Limin, Jiaxiao Li 
  Abstract: Human action recognition is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision due to its complex background changes and redundancy of long-term video information. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel action recognition framework called Bi-LSTM with Attention Pooling based on Joint motion and difference Entropy (JEAP-BiLSTM). Firstly, we extracts critical points of motion flow field as the key points of optical flow field, then compute the motion and difference entropy maps of the key points’ optical flow as short-term features. On this basis, we then use Bi-LSTM to extract video long-term temporal features from forward and backward simultaneously. In order to solve the problem of background change, we introduce attention pooling to the extracted features to highlight the region of interest. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed JEAP-BiLSTM outperforms state-of-the-art action recognition methods.

• A novel copy-move detection and location technique based on tamper detection and similarity feature fusion  
  by Guangyang He, Xiang Zhang, Fan Wang, Zhangjie Fu 
  Abstract: Copy-move is a tampering method that moves a part of the image to another area. Since the colour and brightness of the images before and after being tampered are roughly the same, it is laborious to be recognised by the human eye. To address the problem of weak feature extraction capability in current copy-move tampering detection models, this article proposes a new image copy-move detection method. This method effectively extracts noise and edge information from the tested image through multi-angle feature fusion technology, and further improves the detection performance on image tampering edges by combining dilated convolutions and attention mechanisms. In addition, the model embeds tampering detection features into similarity features, enabling similarity detection to focus on specific areas, which effectively improves the detection efficiency and accuracy of model. Compared with existing copy-move detection methods, this method has strong robustness to various attacks while achieving good detection accuracy.

• Research on a New Encryption and Decryption Algorithm for Privacy Data in Wireless Sensor Network Based on Dynamic Key  
  by Hongli Deng, Tao Yang 
  Abstract: In order to overcome the low security of privacy data in wireless sensor network, this paper proposes a new encryption and decryption algorithm for privacy data in wireless sensor network based on dynamic key. In this method, the dynamic key pool update mechanism is introduced to effectively avoid node leakage. At the same time, the authentication and update mechanisms are further introduced to increase the reliability of information sources. The integrity of data is artificially destroyed by introducing data disturbance. At the same time, the privacy data of wireless sensor network is encrypted according to the new key distribution algorithm in the process of data exchange. The experimental results show that the key leakage probability is always below 0.10%, and the execution efficiency is significantly higher, up to 99%. The cost of the four algorithms is the lowest, with an average of 194600 yuan. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are verified.
