  • Publication number: 20230410257
    Abstract: A semantics-based high resolution reconstruction method of a nighttime light remote sensing image includes: constructing a sample data set; the sample data set includes a plurality of data groups, and each data group includes a LR NTL image, and a HR NTL image and light semantics information consistent in spatial position with the LR NTL image; constructing a reconstruction model; performing training and validation on the reconstruction model by using the sample data set to obtain an optimized reconstruction model; and taking a to-be-reconstructed LR NTL image and light semantic information corresponding to the to-be-reconstructed LR NTL image as an input of the optimized reconstruction model, and outputting, by the optimized reconstructed model, a HR NTL image obtained through resolution reconstruction.

  • Publication number: 20230376614
    Abstract: A method for decoding and encoding network steganography includes: extracting an attention mask of a container image by a convolutional block attention network; extracting two-dimensional image features of a secret image by a feature preprocessing network; splicing the two-dimensional image features and the attention mask of the container image and the secret image in a channel layer, and inputting a spliced image into an encoding network to generate a stego image; inputting the stego image and the container image into a decoding network to respectively obtain a reconstructed secret image and a generated secret image; and constructing a total loss function considering a similarity between the container image and the stego image, a similarity between the secret image and the reconstructed secret image, and a difference between the reconstructed secret image and the generated secret image, and thus performing training on a network model.

  • Publication number: 20230186173
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of analyzing an influence factor for predicting a carbon dioxide concentration of any spatiotemporal position. Firstly, an atmospheric carbon dioxide spatiotemporal distribution simulation method is proposed. This simulation method constructs a simulation model simulating carbon dioxide concentration distribution of any position of a region based on machine learning algorithm in combination with carbon dioxide data of satellite observation and corresponding environmental factors; next, by use of a global sensitivity analysis method, quantitative evaluation on the importance of multiple influence factors for regional carbon dioxide distribution is achieved.
