    Drone delivery has emerged as a significant solution to address the challenges of last-mile logistics. The collaborative delivery model between drones and vehicles overcomes the limitations of insufficient drone delivery capacity and enhances safety, making it a vital approach for drone involvement in the delivery process. To tackle the difficulties and high costs associated with “last-mile” delivery in rural e-commerce logistics, this study constructs a mixed-integer programming model. The objective is to minimize delivery costs while considering constraints such as the collaborative drone-vehicle mode and multi drone multi-parcel delivery. A two-stage algorithm is proposed to optimize the paths for drone-vehicle collaborative delivery. In the first stage, a constrained adaptive K-means algorithm is utilized to determine the range of vehicle docking points. In the second stage, an improved genetic algorithm that incorporates hill climbing and splitting operators is employed to identify the optimal delivery paths for drones and vehicles. Subsequently, a case study experiment is conducted to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the model and algorithm. The research findings are expected to offer novel insights and valuable references for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in last-mile delivery for rural e-commerce logistics.

    Sentiment analysis is an emerging technology that aims to explore people’s attitudes toward entities and can be applied to various domains and scenarios, such as product evaluation analysis, public opinion analysis, mental health analysis and risk assessment. Traditional sentiment analysis models focus on text content, yet some special forms of expression, such as sarcasm and hyperbole, are difficult to detect through text. As technology continues to advance, people can now express their opinions and feelings through multiple channels such as audio, images and videos, so sentiment analysis is shifting to multimodality, which brings new opportunities for sentiment analysis. Multimodal sentiment analysis contains rich visual and auditory information in addition to textual information, and the implied sentiment polarity (positive, neutral, negative) can be inferred more accurately using fusion analysis. The main challenge of multimodal sentiment analysis is the integration of cross-modal sentiment information; therefore, this paper focuses on the framework and characteristics of different fusion methods and describes the popular fusion algorithms in recent years, and discusses the current multimodal sentiment analysis in small sample scenarios, in addition to the current development status, common datasets, feature extraction algorithms, application areas and challenges. It is expected that this review will help researchers understand the current state of research in the field of multimodal sentiment analysis and be inspired to develop more effective models.

    Facing with the problems of small and densely distributed image targets, uneven class distribution, and model size limitation of hardware conditions, object detection from the perspective of drones has less precise results. A new improved model based on YOLOv8s with multiple attention mechanisms is proposed. To solve the problem of shared attention weight parameters in receptive field features and enhance feature extraction ability, receptive field attention convolution and CBAM (concentration based attention module) attention mechanism are introduced into the backbone, adding attention weight in channel and spatial dimensions. By introducing large separable kernel attention into feature pyramid pooling layers, information fusion between different levels of features is increased. The feature layers with rich semantic information of small targets are added to improve the neck structure. The inner-IoU loss function is used to improve the MPDIoU (minimum point distance based IoU) function and the inner-MPDIoU instead of the original loss function is used to enhance the learning ability for difficult samples. The experimental results show that the improved YOLOv8s model has improved mAP, P, and R by 16.1%, 9.3%, and 14.9% respectively on the VisDrone dataset, surpassing YOLOv8m in performance and can be effectively applied to unmanned aerial vehicle visual detection tasks.

    In recent years, 3D face reconstruction task, as an important part of “digital human” technology, has received great attention from both academia and industry. In particular, 3D face reconstruction task based on a single image has made great progress by fully combining traditional camera model, illumination model, 3D face statistical deformation model with the deep convolutional neural network and deep generative models. This paper focuses on the single-image 3D face reconstruction problem, and divides the existing research works into two categories based on implicit space coding and explicit space regression. The first type of research works optimize the basis coefficient solution and loss function design of the basic 3D face statistical model to improve the reconstruction effect, which has the advantage of robustness in face topology change but lacks detailed features. The second type of research works represent 3D faces in the forms of multiple data in explicit space and regress them directly by deep networks, which can usually obtain more personalized 3D face detail features and have better robustness to interference factors such as illumination and occlusion. Furthermore, based on the commonly used datasets and evaluation metrics, this paper fully explores and compares the advantages and disadvantages of some typical methods of both categories. Finally, it summarizes the whole paper and points out the main challenges and future development trends of the single-image based 3D face reconstruction task.

    To address the problems of low accuracy, easy interference from background environment and difficulty in detecting small target vehicles of existing UAV vehicle detection algorithms, an improved UAV vehicle detection algorithm YOLOv8-CX is proposed based on YOLOv8. By integrating the advantages of Deformable Convolutional Networks v1-3, a C2f-DCN module is proposed to flexibly sample features and better extract features between vehicles of different sizes.

Finally, the original YOLOv8 head is replaced with a Dynamic Head detection head. By unifying scale, space and task, the three types of attention mechanisms, the model detection performance is further improved. Experimental results show that on the Mapsai dataset, compared with the original algorithm, the improved algorithm increases the accuracy (P), recall (R) and mean average precision (mAP) by 8.5, 11.2 and 6.2 percentage points respectively, and the algorithm detection speed reaches 72.6 FPS, meeting the real-time requirements of UAV vehicle detection.

    The surface area of steel plate is large, and the surface defects are very common, and showing the characteristics of multi-class and small amount. Deep learning is difficult to be effectively applied to the detection of such small sample defects. In order to solve this problem, a small sample steel plate defect detection algorithm based on lightweight YOLOv8 is proposed. Firstly, an interactive data augmentation algorithm based on fuzzy search is proposed, which can effectively solve the problem that the network model cannot be effectively trained due to the lack of training samples, making it possible for deep learning to be applied in this field. Then, the LMRNet (lightweight multi-scale residual networks) network is designed to replace the backbone of YOLOv8, to achieve the lightweight of the network model and improve its portability. Finally, the CBFPN (context bidirectional feature pyramid network) and ECSA (efficient channel spatial attention) modules are proposed to make the network more effective in extracting and fusing scar features, and the Wise-IoU loss function is adopted to improve the detection performance. The comparative experimental results show that compared with the original YOLOv8 algorithm, the amount of parameters of the improved network is only 30% of the original network, the amount of calculation is 49% of the original network, the FPS is increased by 9 frame/s. The accuracy rate, recall rate and mAP have increased by 2.9, 6.5 and 5.5 percentage points respectively. Experimental results fully verify the advantages of the proposed algorithm.

    To address issues such as high hardware requirements, low detection accuracy, and a high rate of missed overlapping targets in traditional vehicle object detection models, a modified vehicle object detection algorithm called RBT-YOLO based on YOLOv8 is proposed. The main network is reconstructed using a multi-scale fusion approach. BiFPN is improved by adding convolutional operations and adjusting input/output channel numbers to adapt to YOLOv8, enhancing its feature fusion capability. After the feature maps are output from the Neck section, a lightweight attention mechanism called Triplet Attention is introduced to enhance the feature extraction ability of the model. To address the issue of high target overlap in real scenarios, SoftNMS (soft non-maximum suppression) is used to replace the original NMS, making the model to handle the candidate boxes more gentle, thereby strengthening detection capabilities of the model and improving recall rates. Experimental results on the Pascal VOC and MS COCO datasets demonstrate that the proposed RBT-YOLO outperforms the original model, reducing parameters and computations by approximately 60%, the mAP improved by 2.6 and 3.0 percentage points, and excelling in both size and precision compared to other classic detection models, thus demonstrating strong practical utility.

    With the continuous application of deep learning in domestic object detection, conventional large and medium object detection has made astonishing progress. However, due to the limitations of convolutional networks themselves, there are still issues of missed and false detections in small object detection. Taking dataset Visdrone 2019 and dataset FloW-Img as examples, the YOLOv7 model is studied, and the ELAN module of the backbone network is improved in the network structure. The Focal NeXt block is integrated into the long and short gradient paths of the ELAN module to enhance the feature quality of small targets and improve the contextual information content contained in the output features. The RepLKDeXt module is introduced into the head network, which not only replaces the SPPCSPC module to simplify the overall structure of the model, but also optimizes the ELAN-H structure using multi-channel, large convolutional kernels, and Cat operations. Finally, the SIOU loss function is introduced to replace the CIOU function to improve the robustness of the model. The results show that the improved YOLOv7 model reduces the number of parameters and computational complexity, and its detection performance remains approximately unchanged on the Visdrone 2019 dataset with high small target density. It increases by 9.05 percentage points on the sparse FloW-Img dataset with small targets, further simplifying the model and increasing its applicability.

    Small object detection is of great significance in the field of computer vision. However, existing methods often suffer from issues such as missed detection and false alarms when dealing with challenges like scale variation, dense object arrangement, and irregular layouts. To address these problems, ATO-YOLO, an improved version of the YOLOv5 algorithm is proposed. Firstly, this paper introduces an adaptive feature extraction (AFE) module that incorporates an attention mechanism to enhance the feature representation capability of the detection model. By dynamically adjusting the weight allocation to highlight key object features, AFE improves the accuracy and robustness of object detection tasks in various scenarios. Secondly, a triple feature fusion (TFF) mechanism is designed to effectively utilize multi-scale information by fusing feature maps from different scales, resulting in more comprehensive object features and enhanced detection performance for small objects. Lastly, an output reconstruction (ORS) module is introduced, which removes the large object detection layer and adds a small object detection layer, enabling precise localization and recognition of small objects. This module also reduces model complexity and improves detection speed compared to the original model. Experimental results demonstrate that the ATO-YOLO algorithm achieves an mAP@0.5 of 38.2% on the VisDrone dataset, a 6.1?percentage points improvement over YOLOv5, with a relative FPS increase of 4.4%.

    In convolutional neural network (CNN), convolution can efficiently extract local features of the object, but it is difficult to capture global representation; in the visual Transformer, the attention mechanism can capture long-distance feature dependency, but will ignore local feature details. To solve the above problems, a multi-object tracking algorithm CTMOT (CNN transformer multi-object tracking) based on CNN-Transformer hybrid network for feature extraction and fusion is proposed. Firstly, the backbone network is adopted based on CNN and Transformer to extract the local and global features of the image respectively. Secondly, two way bridge module (TBM) is used to fully integrate two features. Then, the fused features are input to two parallel decoders for processing. Finally, the detection box and the tracking box outputted by the decoder are matched to obtain final tracking result and complete the multi-target tracking task. Evaluated on MOT17, MOT20, KITTI and UA-DETRAC multi-object tracking datasets, the MOTA indicators of CTMOT algorithm have reached 76.4%, 66.3%, 92.36% and 88.57% respectively. It is equivalent to the SOTA method on the MOT dataset, and achieves the SOTA effect on the KITTI dataset. At the same time, the MOTP and IDs indicators have reached the SOTA effect on all datasets. In addition, since the object detection and correlation are completed at the same time, the object tracking can be carried out end-to-end, and the tracking speed can reach 35 FPS, which shows that CTMOT algorithm achieves a good balance in the real-time and accuracy of tracking, and has great potential.
