The revolutionary advances in image representation have led to impressive progress in many image understanding-related tasks, primarily supported by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and, more recently, by Transformer models. Despite such advances, assessing the similarity among images for retrieval in unsupervised scenarios remains a challenging task, mostly grounded on traditional pairwise measures, such as the Euclidean distance. The scenario is even more challenging when different visual features are available, requiring the selection and fusion of features without any label information. In this paper, we propose an Unsupervised Dual-Layer Aggregation (UDLA) method, based on contextual similarity approaches for selecting and fusing CNN and Transformer-based visual features trained through transfer learning. In the first layer, the selected features are fused in pairs focused on precision. A sub-set of pairs is selected for a second layer aggregation focused on recall. An experimental evaluation conducted in different public datasets showed the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which achieved results significantly superior to the best-isolated feature and also superior to a recent fusion approach considered as baseline.

This work explores the dynamic response of a turbulent boundary layer to large-scale reactive opposition control, at a friction Reynolds number of Reτ≈2240. A surface-mounted hot-film is employed as the input sensor, capturing large-scale fluctuations in the wall-shear stress, and actuation is performed with a single on/off wall-normal blowing jet positioned 2.4δ downstream of the input sensor, operating with an exit velocity of vj=0.4U∞. Our study builds upon the work of Abbassi et al. [Int. J. Heat Fluid Flow 67, 30 (2017)] and includes a control-calibration experiment and a performance assessment using PIV- and PTV-based flow field analyses. With the control-off calibration-experiment conducted a priori, a transfer kernel is identified so that the velocity fluctuations that are to-be-controlled can be estimated. The controller targets large-scale high-speed zones in an “opposing” mode and low-speed zones in a “reinforcing” mode. A desynchronized mode was tested for reference and consisted of a statistically similar control mode, but without synchronization to the incoming velocity fluctuations. An energy-attenuation of about 40 % is observed for the opposing control mode in the frequency band corresponding to the passage of large-scale motions. This proves the effectiveness of the control in targeting large-scale motions: an energy-intensification of roughly 45% occurs for the reinforcing control mode instead, while no change in energy, within the wall-normal range targeted, appears with the desynchronized control mode. Moreover, direct measures of the skin-friction drag are inferred from PTV data. Results indicate that the opposing control logic yields the lowest wall-shear stress (3% lower than the desynchronized control, and 10% lower than the uncontrolled flow). Finally, a FIK-decomposition of the skin-friction coefficient revealed that the off-the-wall turbulence follows a consistent trend with the PTV-based wall-shear stress measurements, although biased by

In recent years, the volume of multimedia data has been rapidly increasing across various applications. Consequently, classification methods capable of handling scenarios with limited labeled data (e.g., semi-supervised, weakly supervised) have become critically important, particularly because acquiring labeled data is often expensive and time-consuming. Regarding image data, feature extraction approaches are commonly employed in many tasks. Feature extraction involves identifying and extracting key characteristics or patterns, such as edges, textures, shapes, and colors. Nowadays, most extractors consider deep learning strategies, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViT). With various feature extractors available in the literature, there is a wide diversity of features that can be considered. The features extracted from an image depend on the application, the extractor used, and its configuration. Therefore, combining different extractors can be a promising strategy to exploit complementary information. Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) are fundamental and promising strategies in the scenario of semi-supervised image classification, being able to leverage labeled and unlabeled data, and exploiting the graph structures that offer valuable information. This work proposes an approach for GCNs in scenarios where labeled data is scarce, combining sets of features and graphs considering different extraction approaches. Among the main contributions, the experimental results reveal that these combinations and the use of manifold learning to process these graphs improve the classification results in most cases.

Spacecraft pose estimation is an essential contribution to facilitating central space mission activities like autonomous navigation, rendezvous, docking, and on-orbit servicing. Nonetheless, methods like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), and Particle Filtering suffer significant drawbacks when implemented in space. Such techniques tend to have high computational complexity, low domain generalization capacity for varied or unknown conditions (domain generalization problem), and accuracy loss with noise from the space environment causes such as fluctuating lighting, sensor limitations, and background interference. In order to overcome these challenges, this study suggests a new solution through the combination of a Dual-Channel Transformer Network with Bayesian Optimization methods. The innovation is at the center with the utilization of EfficientNet, augmented with squeeze-and-excitation attention modules, to extract feature-rich representations without sacrificing computational efficiency. The dual-channel architecture dissects satellite pose estimation into two dedicated streams—translational data prediction and orientation estimation via quaternion-based activation functions for rotational precision. Activation maps are transformed into transformer-compatible sequences via 1×1 convolutions, allowing successful learning in the transformer's encoder-decoder system. To maximize model performance, Bayesian Optimization with Gaussian Process Regression and the Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) acquisition function makes the optimal hyperparameter selection with fewer queries, conserving time and resources. This entire framework, used here in Python and verified with the SLAB Satellite Pose Estimation Challenge dataset, had an outstanding Mean IOU of 0.9610, reflecting higher accuracy compared to standard models. In total, this research sets a new standard for spacecraft pose estimation, by marrying the versatility of deep le
