DcnnGrasp: Towards Accurate Grasp Pattern Recognition with Adaptive Regularizer LearningXiaoqin Zhang, Ziwei Huang, Jingjing Zheng et al.
The task of grasp pattern recognition aims to derive the applicable grasp types of an object according to the visual information. Current state-of-the-art methods ignore category information of objects which is crucial for grasp pattern recognition. This paper presents a novel dual-branch convolutional neural network (DcnnGrasp) to achieve joint learning of object category classification and grasp pattern recognition. DcnnGrasp takes object category classification as an auxiliary task to improve the effectiveness of grasp pattern recognition. Meanwhile, a new loss function called joint cross-entropy with an adaptive regularizer is derived through maximizing a posterior, which significantly improves the model performance. Besides, based on the new loss function, a training strategy is proposed to maximize the collaborative learning of the two tasks. The experiment was performed on five household objects datasets including the RGB-D Object dataset, Hit-GPRec dataset, Amsterdam library of object images (ALOI), Columbia University Image Library (COIL-100), and MeganePro dataset 1. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method can achieve competitive performance on grasp pattern recognition with several state-of-the-art methods. Specifically, our method even outperformed the second-best one by nearly 15% in terms of global accuracy for the case of testing a novel object on the RGB-D Object dataset.

TextDoctor: Unified Document Image Inpainting via Patch Pyramid Diffusion ModelsWanglong Lu, Lingming Su, Jingjing Zheng et al.
Digital versions of real-world text documents often suffer from issues like environmental corrosion of the original document, low-quality scanning, or human interference. Existing document restoration and inpainting methods typically struggle with generalizing to unseen document styles and handling high-resolution images. To address these challenges, we introduce TextDoctor, a novel unified document image inpainting method. Inspired by human reading behavior, TextDoctor restores fundamental text elements from patches and then applies diffusion models to entire document images instead of training models on specific document types. To handle varying text sizes and avoid out-of-memory issues, common in high-resolution documents, we propose using structure pyramid prediction and patch pyramid diffusion models. These techniques leverage multiscale inputs and pyramid patches to enhance the quality of inpainting both globally and locally. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments on seven public datasets validated that TextDoctor outperforms state-of-the-art methods in restoring various types of high-resolution document images.

A Novel Tensor Factorization-Based Method with Robustness to Inaccurate Rank EstimationJingjing Zheng, Wenzhe Wang, Xiaoqin Zhang et al.
This study aims to solve the over-reliance on the rank estimation strategy in the standard tensor factorization-based tensor recovery and the problem of a large computational cost in the standard t-SVD-based tensor recovery. To this end, we proposes a new tensor norm with a dual low-rank constraint, which utilizes the low-rank prior and rank information at the same time. In the proposed tensor norm, a series of surrogate functions of the tensor tubal rank can be used to achieve better performance in harness low-rankness within tensor data. It is proven theoretically that the resulting tensor completion model can effectively avoid performance degradation caused by inaccurate rank estimation. Meanwhile, attributed to the proposed dual low-rank constraint, the t-SVD of a smaller tensor instead of the original big one is computed by using a sample trick. Based on this, the total cost at each iteration of the optimization algorithm is reduced to $\mathcal{O}(n^3\log n +kn^3)$ from $\mathcal{O}(n^4)$ achieved with standard methods, where $k$ is the estimation of the true tensor rank and far less than $n$. Our method was evaluated on synthetic and real-world data, and it demonstrated superior performance and efficiency over several existing state-of-the-art tensor completion methods.
