Recent research on dense captioning based on the recurrent neural network and the convolutional neural network has made a great progress. However, mapping from an image feature space to a description space is a nonlinear and multimodel task, which makes it difficult for the current methods to get accurate results. In this paper, we put forward a novel approach for dense captioning based on hourglass-structured residual learning. Discriminant feature maps are obtained by incorporating dense connected networks and residual learning in our model. Finally, the performance of the approach on the Visual Genome V1.0 dataset and the region labelled MS-COCO (Microsoft Common Objects in Context) dataset are demonstrated. The experimental results have shown that our approach outperforms most current methods.

By collecting the data of eyeball movement of pilots, it is possible to monitor pilot's operation in the future flight in order to detect potential accidents. In this paper, we designed a novel SVS system that is integrated with an eye tracking device, and is able to achieve the following functions:1) A novel method that is able to learn from the eyeball movements of pilots and preload or render the terrain data in various resolutions, in order to improve the quality of terrain display by comprehending the interested regions of the pilot. 2) A warning mechanism that may detect the risky operation via analyzing the aviation information from the SVS and the eyeball movement from the eye tracking device, in order to prevent the maloperations or human factor accidents. The user study and experiments show that the proposed SVS-Eyetracking system works efficiently and is capable of avoiding potential risked caused by fatigue in the flight simulation.
