A Performance Evaluation of Classic Convolutional Neural Networks for 2D and 3D Palmprint and Palm Vein Recognition

Palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition are two emerging biometrics technologies. In the past two decades, many traditional methods have been proposed for palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition, and have achieved impressive results. However, the research on deep learning-based palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition is still very preliminary. In this paper, in order to investigate the problem of deep learning based 2D and 3D palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition in-depth, we conduct performance evaluation of seventeen representative and classic convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on one 3D palmprint database, five 2D palmprint databases and two palm vein databases. A lot of experiments have been carried out in the conditions of different network structures, different learning rates, and different numbers of network layers. We have also conducted experiments on both separate data mode and mixed data mode. Experimental results show that these classic CNNs can achieve promising recognition results, and the recognition performance of recently proposed CNNs is better. Particularly, among classic CNNs, one of the recently proposed classic CNNs, i.e., EfficientNet achieves the best recognition accuracy. However, the recognition performance of classic CNNs is still slightly worse than that of some traditional recognition methods.

A GPU-Accelerated In-Memory Metadata Management Scheme for Large-Scale Parallel File Systems

Driven by the increasing requirements of high-performance computing applications,supercomputers are prone to containing more and more computing nodes.Applications running on such a large-scale computing system are likely to spawn millions of parallel processes,which usually generate a burst of I/O requests,introducing a great challenge into the metadata management of underlying parallel file systems.The traditional method used to overcome such a challenge is adopting multiple metadata servers in the scale-out manner,which will inevitably confront with serious network and consistence problems.This work instead pursues to enhance the metadata performance in the scale-up manner.Specifically,we propose to improve the performance of each individual metadata server by employing GPU to handle metadata requests in parallel.Our proposal designs a novel metadata server architecture,which employs CPU to interact with file system clients,while offloading the computing tasks about metadata into GPU.To take full advantages of the parallelism existing in GPU,we redesign the in-memory data structure for the name space of file systems.The new data structure can perfectly fit to the memory architecture of GPU,and thus helps to exploit the large number of parallel threads within GPU to serve the bursty metadata requests concurrently.We implement a prototype based on BeeGFS and conduct extensive experiments to evaluate our proposal,and the experimental results demonstrate that our GPU-based solution outperforms the CPU-based scheme by more than 50％under typical metadata operations.The superiority is strengthened further on high concurrent scenarios,e.g.,the high-performance computing systems supporting millions of parallel threads.     

基于超列注意力机制的京剧人物识别

为了克服京剧人物视觉特征提取的难点及满足京剧人物实时识别的需求,提出基于超列注意力机制的卷积神经网络（HCA-CNN）来实现面向京剧人物的细粒度特征提取和识别。该网络中用于关键区域定位的注意力机制借鉴了用于图像分割和细粒度定位的超列（HyperColumn）特征思想,通过超列集基于像素点的形式串联主干分类网络来形成多层叠加特征,从而更好地兼顾早期浅层空间特征与后期深度类别语义特征,并提高定位任务与主干网络分类任务的准确度。同时,该网络的主干网络采用轻量级的MobileNetV2,从而更好地满足视频应用场景下的实时性要求。此外,还创建了京剧人物（BJOR）数据集,并在此数据集上进行了相关消融实验。实验结果显示,HCA-CNN与传统细粒度循环注意力网络（RA-CNN）相比,除了在准确率（Accuracy）指标上提高了0.63个百分点以外,其内存使用量（Memory Usage）、参数量（Params）分别减少了162.84 MB、131.5 MB,乘加次数（Mult-Adds）、每秒浮点运算次数（FLOPs）分别减少了39 885×10⁶、51 886×10⁶。可见,针对京剧人物视觉特征提出的HCA-CNN能有效提高京剧人物识别的准确率和效率,满足实际应用的需求。
