As a fundamental, overall, and strategic issue facing human society, human migration is a key factor affecting the development of countries and cities given constantly changing population numbers. The fuzziness of the spatiotemporal attributes of human migration limits the pool of open-source data for human migration prediction, leading to a relative lag in human migration prediction algorithm research. This study expands the definition of human migration research, reviews the progress of research into human migration prediction, and classifies and compares human migration algorithms based on open-source data. It also explores the critical uncertainty factors restricting the development of human migration prediction. Given the effect of human migration prediction, in combination with artificial intelligence and big data technology, the paper concludes with specific suggestions and countermeasures aimed at enhancing human migration prediction research results to serve economic and social development and national strategy.

Defect detection plays a pivotal role in quality control for fabrics. In order to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of fabric defect detection, we have proposed the PRC-Light YOLO model for fabric defect detection and have established a detection system. Firstly, we add new convolution operators in Backbone for the YOLOv7 and integrate them with Extended-Efficient Layer Aggregation Network. This combination constructs a new feature extraction module that not only reduces the computational effort of the network model, but also extracts spatial features effectively. Secondly, we employ multi-branch dilated convolutions feature pyramid, and introduce lightweight upsampling operators to improve performance of the feature fusion network. This module achieves an expanded receptive field by generating real-time adaptive convolution kernels, allowing for the collection of crucial information from regions with a richer contextual context. To further minimize the computation during network model training, we adopt the HardSwish activation function. Finally, we apply the Wise-IOU v3 bounding box loss function as a dynamic non-monotonic focusing mechanism, which decreases adverse gradients from low-quality instances. We conduct data augmentation on real fabric dataset to raise the generalization capability of the PRC-Light YOLO model. Compared with the YOLOv7 model, numerous simulation experiments show that our proposed methods reduce the model’s parameters and computation by 18.03% and 20.53%, respectively. Simultaneously, there has been a 7.6% improvement in mAP.
