Salient object detection (SOD) is to segment significant regions of images. Noticing that the saliency maps in existing SOD methods suffer from blurring boundaries owing insufficient extraction boundary features and inadequate fusion between salient region features, a dual-branch network information mutual optimization (DIMONet) proposed. The DIMONet has branch extract corresponding simultaneou...

The change-detection task is essentially a binary semantic segmentation of changing and invariant regions. However, this much more difficult than simple tasks, as the areas typically include multiple terrains such factories, farmland, roads, buildings, mining areas. This requires ability network to extract features. To end, we propose multi-branch collaborative based on Siamese structure (MHCNe...

In this paper, a compact microstrip rat-race coupler at 950 MHz operating frequency is designed, simulated, and fabricated. New branches are proposed in design using high-/low- impedance open-ended resonators. the conventional coupler, there three long λ/4 3λ/4 branch, they occupy very large area. presented for use instead of an ultra-compact branch suggested branch. Additionally, artificial ne...

Actin branch junctions are conserved cytoskeletal elements critical for the generation of protrusive force during actin polymerization-driven cellular motility. Assembly of actin branch junctions requires the Arp2/3 complex, upon activation, to initiate a new actin (daughter) filament branch from the side of an existing (mother) filament, leading to the formation of a dendritic actin network wi...

To better detect pedestrians of various scales, deep multi-scale methods usually detect pedestrians of different scales by different in-network layers. However, the semantic levels of features from different layers are usually inconsistent. In this paper, we propose a multi-branch and high-level semantic network by gradually splitting a base network into multiple different branches. As a result...

We introduce a model for synchronizer of marked pairs, which is a node for joining results of parallel processing in two-branch fork-join queueing network. A distribution for number of jobs in the synchro-nizer is obtained. Calculations are performed assuming that: arrivals to the network form a Poisson process, each branch operates like an M/M/N queueing system. It is shown that a mean quantit...
