Enhancing Image Captioning and Auto-Tagging Through a FCLN with Faster R-CNN Integration

Abstract

In the realm of automated image captioning, which entails generating descriptive text for images, the fusion of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computer vision techniques is paramount. This study introduces the Fully Convolutional Localization Network (FCLN), a novel approach that concurrently addresses localization and description tasks within a singular forward pass. It maintains spatial information and avoids detail loss, streamlining the training process with consistent optimization. The foundation of FCLN is laid by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), adept at extracting salient image features. Central to this architecture is a Localization Layer, pivotal in precise object detection and caption generation. The FCLN architecture amalgamates a region detection network, reminiscent of Faster Region-CNN (R-CNN), with a captioning network. This synergy enables the production of contextually meaningful image captions. The incorporation of the Faster R-CNN framework facilitates regionbased object detection, offering precise contextual understanding and inter-object relationships. Concurrently, a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network is employed for generating captions. This integration yields superior performance in caption accuracy, particularly in complex scenes. Evaluations conducted on the Microsoft Common Objects in Context (MS COCO) test server affirm the model's superiority over existing benchmarks, underscoring its efficacy in generating precise and context-rich image captions.

SSTrack: An Object Tracking Algorithm Based on Spatial Scale Attention

“…It has found extensive applications in natural language processing. With the continuous integration and development of the fields of natural language processing and computer vision [27], Vision Transformer (ViT) [28] pioneered the introduction of Transformer into computer vision, demonstrating favorable results. In 2021, TrSiam [13] combined Transformers with correlation filters, becoming the first Siamese object tracking method with a Transformer structure that enhanced the tracker's feature representation capability.…”
