  • Patent number: 11735315
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method, apparatus, and device for fusing features applied to small target detection, and a storage medium, relate to the field of computer vision technology. A particular embodiment of the method for fusing features applied to small target detection comprises: acquiring feature maps output by convolutional layers in a Backbone network; performing convolution on the feature maps to obtain input feature maps of feature layers, the feature layers representing resolutions of the input feature maps; and fusing, based on densely connection feature pyramid network features, the input feature maps of each feature layer to obtain output feature maps of the feature layer. Since no additional convolutional layer is introduced for feature fusion, the detection performance for small targets may be enhanced without additional parameters, and the detection ability for small targets may be improved with computing resource constraints.

  • Patent number: 10382551
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for cloud file processing. An exemplary method may include acquiring a position of a first data packet read by the client in the target file as a reading position when a target file that a client intends to read from a cloud server is divided into a plurality of data packets. The method may also include acquiring a state of a second data packet not at the reading position in the target file as a peripheral state. The peripheral state is a read-completed state or an unread state. When the reading position and the peripheral state meet a preset condition, the method may further include sending, by the client, a data pre-fetch request to the cloud server. The data pre-fetch request is used to request to read, from the cloud server, a preset amount of data packets whose peripheral states are unread states in the target file.
