Cross-view matching refers to the use of images from different platforms (e.g. drone and satellite views) retrieve most relevant images, where key is that viewpoints spatial resolution. However, existing methods focus on extracting fine-grained features ignore connection contextual information in image. Therefore, we propose a novel ConvNeXt-based multi-level representation learning model for solution this task. First, extract global through ConvNeXt model. In order obtain joint part-based...

In mobile crowdsensing activities, it is usually necessary for participants to upload sensing data and related locations. The existing location privacy-preserving mechanisms cannot well protect a user's trajectory privacy because attackers can mine the features through analysis techniques. Aiming at protection problem, this article proposes differential mechanism based on obfuscation (LPMT). LPMT first extracts stay points as of sliding window algorithm, then obfuscates each point target...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and self-attention (SA) have demonstrated remarkable success in low-level vision tasks, such as image super-resolution, deraining, dehazing. The former excels acquiring local connections with translation equivariance, while the latter is better at capturing long-range dependencies. However, both CNNs Transformers suffer from individual limitations, limited receptive field weak diversity representation of during low efficiency relation learning SA. To this...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) provides flexible network management by decoupling control plane and data plane.
