Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Xinjiang University Researcher Describes Research in Marine Science and Engineering (Multi-Attention Pyramid Context Network for Infrared Small Ship Detection)

Article Description
In the realm of maritime target detection, infrared imaging technology has become the predominant modality. Detecting infrared small ships on the sea surface is crucial for national defense and maritime security. However, the challenge of detecting infrared small targets persists, especially in the complex scenes of the sea surface. As a response to this challenge, we propose MAPC-Net, an enhanced algorithm based on an existing network. Unlike conventional approaches, our method focuses on addressing the intricacies of sea surface scenes and the sparse pixel occupancy of small ships. MAPC-Net incorporates a scale attention mechanism into the original network’s multi-scale feature pyramid, enabling the learning of more effective scale feature maps. Additionally, a channel attention mechanism is introduced during the upsampling process to capture relationships between different channels, resulting in superior feature representations. Notably, our proposed Maritime-SIRST dataset, meticulously annotated for infrared small ship detection, is introduced to stimulate advancements in this research domain. Experimental evaluations on the Maritime-SIRST dataset demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm over existing methods. Compared to the original network, our approach achieves a 6.14% increase in mIOU and a 4.41% increase in F1, while maintaining nearly unchanged runtime.
