MMGait: Towards Multi-Modal Gait RecognitionChenye Wang, Qingyuan Cai, Saihui Hou et al.
Gait recognition has emerged as a powerful biometric technique for identifying individuals at a distance without requiring user cooperation. Most existing methods focus primarily on RGB-derived modalities, which fall short in real-world scenarios requiring multi-modal collaboration and cross-modal retrieval. To overcome these challenges, we present MMGait, a comprehensive multi-modal gait benchmark integrating data from five heterogeneous sensors, including an RGB camera, a depth camera, an infrared camera, a LiDAR scanner, and a 4D Radar system. MMGait contains twelve modalities and 334,060 sequences from 725 subjects, enabling systematic exploration across geometric, photometric, and motion domains. Based on MMGait, we conduct extensive evaluations on single-modal, cross-modal, and multi-modal paradigms to analyze modality robustness and complementarity. Furthermore, we introduce a new task, Omni Multi-Modal Gait Recognition, which aims to unify the above three gait recognition paradigms within a single model. We also propose a simple yet powerful baseline, OmniGait, which learns a shared embedding space across diverse modalities and achieves promising recognition performance. The MMGait benchmark, codebase, and pretrained checkpoints are publicly available at https://github.com/BNU-IVC/MMGait.

Enhancing Underwater Images via Deep Learning: A Comparative Study of VGG19 and ResNet50-Based ApproachesAoqi Li, Yanghui Song, Jichao Dao et al.
This paper addresses the challenging problem of image enhancement in complex underwater scenes by proposing a solution based on deep learning. The proposed method skillfully integrates two deep convolutional neural network models, VGG19 and ResNet50, leveraging their powerful feature extraction capabilities to perform multi-scale and multi-level deep feature analysis of underwater images. By constructing a unified model, the complementary advantages of the two models are effectively integrated, achieving a more comprehensive and accurate image enhancement effect.To objectively evaluate the enhancement effect, this paper introduces image quality assessment metrics such as PSNR, UCIQE, and UIQM to quantitatively compare images before and after enhancement and deeply analyzes the performance of different models in different scenarios.Furthermore, to improve the practicality and stability of the underwater visual enhancement system, this paper also provides practical suggestions from aspects such as model optimization, multi-model fusion, and hardware selection, aiming to provide strong technical support for visual enhancement tasks in complex underwater environments.

Economic Analysis and Optimization of Energy Storage Configuration for Park Power Systems Based on Random Forest and Genetic AlgorithmYanghui Song, Aoqi Li, Lilei Huo
This study aims to analyze the economic performance of various parks under different conditions, particularly focusing on the operational costs and power load balancing before and after the deployment of energy storage systems. Firstly, the economic performance of the parks without energy storage was analyzed using a random forest model. Taking Park A as an example, it was found that the cost had the greatest correlation with electricity purchase, followed by photovoltaic output, indicating that solar and wind power output are key factors affecting economic performance. Subsequently, the operation of the parks after the configuration of a 50kW/100kWh energy storage system was simulated, and the total cost and operation strategy of the energy storage system were calculated. The results showed that after the deployment of energy storage, the amount of wind and solar power curtailment in each park decreased, and the operational costs were reduced. Finally, a genetic algorithm was used to optimize the energy storage configuration of each park. The energy storage operation strategy was optimized through fitness functions, crossover operations, and mutation operations. After optimization, the economic indicators of Parks A, B, and C all improved. The research results indicate that by optimizing energy storage configuration, each park can reduce costs, enhance economic benefits, and achieve sustainable development of the power system.
