20. LGFCTR: Local and Global Feature Convolutional Transformer for Image Matching

Author

Abstract

Image matching that finding robust and accurate correspondences across images is a challenging task under extreme conditions. Capturing local and global features simultaneously is an important way to mitigate such an issue but recent transformer-based decoders were still stuck in the issues that CNN-based encoders only extract local features and the transformers lack locality. Inspired by the locality and implicit positional encoding of convolutions, a novel convolutional transformer is proposed to capture both local contexts and global structures more sufficiently for detector-free matching. Firstly, a universal FPN-like framework captures global structures in self-encoder as well as cross-decoder by transformers and compensates local contexts as well as implicit positional encoding by convolutions. Secondly, a novel convolutional transformer module explores multi-scale long range dependencies by a novel multi-scale attention and further aggregates local information inside dependencies for enhancing locality. Finally, a novel regression-based sub-pixel refinement module exploits the whole fine-grained window features for fine-level positional deviation regression. The proposed method achieves superior performances on a wide range of benchmarks.

Abstract

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) is regarded as one of the most important priority pathogens within the One Health interface. However, few studies have investigated the occurrence of ESBL-EC in giant pandas, along with their antibiotic-resistant characteristics and horizontal gene transfer abilities. In this study, we successfully identified 12 ESBL-EC strains (8.33%, 12/144) out of 144 E. coli strains which isolated from giant pandas. We further detected antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), virulence-associated genes (VAGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) among the 12 ESBL-EC strains, and the results showed that 13 ARGs and 11 VAGs were detected, of which bla CTX-M (100.00%, 12/12, with 5 variants observed) and papA (83.33%, 10/12) were the most prevalent, respectively. And ISEcp1 (66.67%, 8/12) and IS26 (66.67%, 8/12) were the predominant MGEs. Furthermore, horizontal gene transfer ability analysis of the 12 ESBL-EC showed that all bla CTX-M genes could be transferred by conjugative plasmids, indicating high horizontal gene transfer ability. In addition, ARGs of rmtB and sul2 , VAGs of papA , fimC and ompT , MGEs of ISEcp1 and IS26 were all found to be co-transferred with bla CTX-M . Phylogenetic analysis clustered these ESBL-EC strains into group B2 (75.00%, 9/12), D (16.67%, 2/12), and B1 (8.33%, 1/12), and 10 sequence types (STs) were identified among 12 ESBL-EC (including ST48, ST127, ST206, ST354, ST648, ST1706, and four new STs). Our present study showed that ESBL-EC strains from captive giant pandas are reservoirs of ARGs, VAGs and MGEs that can co-transfer with bla CTX-M via plasmids. Transmissible ESBL-EC strains with high diversity of resistance and virulence elements are a potential threat to humans, animals and surrounding environment., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Liu, Fan, Zhang, Yuan, Zhong, Wang, Wang, Zhou, Zhang, Geng, Peng, Wang, Zhang, Yan, Luo, Shi and Zhong.)
