      摘要:Caching popular video into user-side in advance improves the user experience and reduces operator costs, which is a common practice in the industry.How to effectively predict the popularity of videos has become a hot issue in the industry.On account of the shortcomings of traditional prediction algorithms such as poor nonlinear mapping ability, low prediction accuracy and weak adaptability, a video popularity prediction algorithm based on a neural network and Markov combined model (Mar-BiLSTM) was proposed.Information dependencies were preserved by constructing bidirectional memory network model (bi-directional long short-term memory, BiLSTM), the prediction accuracy of the model was further improved by using Markov properties while avoiding the increase of the complexity of the model caused by the introduction of external variables.Experimental results show that compared with traditional time series and classic neural network algorithms, the proposed algorithm improves predicting accuracy, effectiveness and reduces the amount of calculation.

      摘要:Two beamforming (BF) schemes to achieve spectrum sharing by suppressing inter-system interferences in cognitive satellite and terrestrial networks were proposed, where the satellite and UAV cooperative network was used as the secondary network, while the terrestrial network was used as the primary network.Specifically, considering that only the statistical channel state information was available, a constrained optimization problem was formulated to maximize the signal-to- interference-plus-noise ratio of the secondary user under the constraints of the maximum transmit power at the UAV and the interference power of the primary user.Then, an iteration-based BF scheme was proposed to solve the constrained optimization problem.To reduce the computational complexity of the iterative algorithm, a zero-forcing based BF scheme was further proposed.Finally, computer simulations verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed BF schemes.

      摘要:In order to avoid searching the peak value in space domain, when estimating nested array’s the direction of direction of arrival(DOA), the canonical polyadic decomposition(CPD) was applied into the nested array, namely using the one time singular value decomposition(SVD), bilinear mapping and tensor decomposition to obtain the steering vector matrix and arrival angle.However, the existing CPD algorithm only can be applied in noiseless environment, the algorithm was improved by utilizing SVD two times, and was made to be applied in both noiseless and noisy environments.The simulation results demonstrate that in the same signal to noise ratio(SNR) and snapshot, the DOA estimation algorithm of nested array based on the improved CPD has better performances and less running time than the MUSIC and space smoothing algorithms.

      摘要:At present, the difficulty of pedestrian detection has been dramatically increased because of some problems, such as the dark or exposed illumination, bad weather, serious occlusion, large difference size of pedestrians and blurred images in complex visual scenes.Therefore, an improved YOLOv4 algorithm was proposed, which improved the detection performance of pedestrian detection in complex visual scenes, aiming at the problems of low accuracy and highly missed detection rate.Firstly, the self-annotation data set pedetrian were constructed.Secondly, the hybrid dilated convolution (HDC) was added into the backbone network to improve the ability of pedestrian feature extraction.Finally, in order to obtain more detailed feature, the spatial jagged dilated convolution (SJDC) structure was proposed to replace the spatial pyramid pooling structure.The experimental results show that the average precision (AP) of the proposed algorithm can achieve 90.08%.The proposed algorithm can substantially improve AP by 7.2%, and the log-average miss rate (LAMR) reduce by 13.69% compared with the original YOLOv4 algorithm.

      摘要:Facial recognition under occlusion is a well-known difficult problem in real scenes.Especially after the outbreak of COVID-19, in airports, stations and other places that need to verify the identity of visitors, the mouth-muffle occlusion greatly reduces the facial features that can be important for identification, and the accuracy of face recognition algorithm decreases.Face de-occlusion was studied, and a novel framework was proposed to restore face, which used the edge generation network to generate edge maps.On this basis, the occluded region was restored by the region completion network while preserving identity information.In order to improve the performance, the spatial weighted adversarial loss and identity-preserving loss were introduced to train the above two networks.Then two face datasets with mouth-muffles were constructed by face landmarks.The experimental results show that the accuracy of facial recognition algorithm ArcFace on the face dataset restored by the proposed model was 98.39%, which was 4.13% higher than that of directly using ArcFace.

      摘要:The millimeter-wave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can overcome the adverse effects of the free-space signal path loss through the partial connection hybrid precoding method, which has the advantages of low hardware complexity and high energy efficiency.When the number of input data streams is equal to the number of radio frequency (RF) links, the hybrid precoding method based on partially connected structure and serial interference cancellation can be used.When the number of input data streams is not equal to the number of RF links, a hybrid precoding method based on improved artificial fish swarm (IAFS) algorithm was proposed.The core idea is that based on the spectral efficiency optimization criteria and the characteristics of partial connected structure, the spectral efficiency optimization problem of analog recoding matrix variables was transformed into the spectral efficiency optimization problem based on vector variables, and then the IAFS algorithm was used to solve the spectrum efficiency optimization problem.The simulation results show that the proposed method has good spectral efficiency and energy efficiency under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio, and is expected to be applied in the real scene.
