Frame differencing method can adapt well to dynamic environments with changes in lighting and complex background transformations. However, its characteristic of determining whether an object is in motion by extracting the object's contour leads to misdetection and missed detection when detecting moving objects. Meanwhile, frame difference operation also increases the calculation processing time and thus generates a higher delay. To address the mentioned issues, the article proposes a multi-point collaborative object recognition algorithm. Firstly, perform grayscale processing on the image. Secondly, it employs an improved BM3D (Block Matching 3D) algorithm for denoising. Then the image data after noise removal is identified and tracked by an improved adaptive interframe difference algorithm. Finally, a multi-point collaborative FPGA-based object recognition and tracking system is designed to validate the algorithm. Experimental results show that, compared to traditional frame differencing methods, the improved algorithm reduces latency by approximately 200 microseconds and significantly enhances the accuracy of object recognition.

We design and analyze a novel regularized accelerated proximal gradient method for a class of bilevel optimization problems where from the optimal solution set of a composite convex optimization problem, we seek to find a solution that minimizes a secondary convex objective function. When the optimal solution set of the lower-level problem admits a weak sharpness property, we significantly improve existing iteration complexity to O(E-
0.5
) for both suboptimality and infeasibility error metrics, where ∊ > 0 denotes an arbitrary scalar. We also obtain guarantees in absence of the weak sharpness property. In addition, contrary to some existing methods that require solving the optimization problem sequentially (initially solving an optimization problem to approximate the solution of the lower-level problem followed by a second scheme), our method concurrently solves the bilevel optimization problem. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed algorithm achieves the best-known iteration complexity, which matches the optimal complexity for single-level convex optimization. Preliminary numerical experiments on a sparse linear regression problem validate the efficacy of our approach.

We investigate the problem of learning an
$\epsilon$
-approximate solution for the discrete-time Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problem via a Stochastic Variance-Reduced Policy Gradient (SVRPG) approach. Whilst policy gradient methods have proven to converge linearly to the optimal solution of the model-free LQR problem, the substantial requirement for two-point cost queries in gradient estimations may be intractable, particularly in applications where obtaining cost function evaluations at two distinct control input configurations is exceptionally costly. To this end, we propose an oracle-efficient approach. Our method combines both one-point and two-point estimations in a dual-loop variance-reduced algorithm. It achieves an approximate optimal solution with only
$\mathcal{O}\left(\log(1/\epsilon)^{\beta}\right)$
two-point cost information for
$\beta\in(0,1)$

Cognitive Radio (CR) technology allows secondary users (SUs) to utilize the spectrum resources of primary users (PUs) without affecting PUs’ quality of service (QoS), addressing spectrum scarcity in future wireless communication systems. Energy Harvesting (EH)-powered Cognitive Radio Networks (EH-CRNs) equip secondary base stations with EH capabilities to address spectrum scarcity and RF energy harvesting simultaneously but face challenges in optimizing spectrum and EH efficiency. In this paper, we establish an EH-CRN system model assisted by Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) for better transmission QoS and formulate an optimization problem to maximize secondary networks’ achievable throughput subject to constraints on the lowest false alarm probability, SU QoS, and IRS phase shift. To solve the non-convex problem, we propose a resource allocation algorithm based on alternating optimization and divide it into three subproblems to respectively optimize the detection probability, the energy harvesting, and the achievable rate of secondary users by using semidefinite relaxation (SDR), successive convex approximation (SCA), first-order Taylor expansion, and Gaussian randomization with sequential rank-one constraint relaxation (SROCR). Simulation results demonstrate the algorithm’s convergence and improved performance compared to benchmark schemes under consistent constraints.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the field of reinforcement learning has continuously achieved breakthroughs in both theory and practice. However, traditional reinforcement learning algorithms often entail high energy consumption during interactions with the environment. Spiking Neural Network (SNN), with their low energy consumption characteristics and performance comparable to deep neural networks, have garnered widespread attention. To reduce the energy consumption of practical applications of reinforcement learning, researchers have successively proposed the Pop-SAN and MDC-SAN algorithms. Nonetheless, these algorithms use rectangular functions to approximate the spike network during the training process, resulting in low sensitivity, thus indicating room for improvement in the training effectiveness of SNN. Based on this, we propose a trapezoidal approximation gradient method to replace the spike network, which not only preserves the original stable learning state but also enhances the model's adaptability and response sensitivity under various signal dynamics. Simulation results show that the improved algorithm, using the trapezoidal approximation gradient to replace the spike network, achieves better convergence speed and performance compared to the original algorithm and demonstrates good training stability.

Natural connectivity serves as a pivotal metric for evaluating network robustness, reflecting the redundancy of alternative pathways between any two nodes and being mathematically expressed as the average eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. Despite extensive research on the natural connectivity of numerous typical networks, there has been limited exploration into strategies for enhancing this metric. This paper introduces a link addition strategy aimed at maximizing natural connectivity, specifically targeting the addition of links between high-degree nodes with long-range distances. Experimental results, conducted on both synthetic and real-world networks, demonstrate that our proposed strategy attains near-optimal natural connectivity with remarkable computational efficiency, thereby proving its viability for large-scale network applications.

Software-defined networks (SDNs) provide customizable traffic control by storing numerous rules in on-chip memories with minimal access latency. However, the current on-chip memory capacity falls short of meeting the growing demands of SDN control applications. While rule eviction and aggregation strategies address this challenge at the switch level, programmable data planes enable a more flexible approach through cooperative rule caching. However, current solutions rely on computationally intensive off-the-shelf solvers to perform rule placement across the network. In this paper, we present an efficient solution for the cooperative rule caching problem. We first present the design of a resource-efficient switch capable of caching rules for its neighbors alongside a lightweight protocol for retrieving cached rules. Then, we introduce RaSe, an approximation algorithm for minimizing rule lookup latency across the network through optimized cooperation-aware rule placement. We conduct a theoretical analysis of RaSe, followed by a P4-based proof-of-concept assessment in Mininet and a large-scale numerical evaluation using real-world network topology. In comparison with existing solver-based solutions, the proposed method obtains the solution 160 times faster and improves the average rule lookup latency by about 21% compared to several algorithmic baselines.
