    Abstract In smart classrooms, conducting multi-face expression recognition based on existing hardware devices to assess students’ group emotions can provide educators with more comprehensive and intuitive classroom effect analysis, thereby continuously promoting the improvement of teaching quality. However, most existing multi-face expression recognition methods adopt a multi-stage approach, with an overall complex process, poor real-time performance, and insufficient generalization ability. In addition, the existing facial expression datasets are mostly single face images, which are of low quality and lack specificity, also restricting the development of this research. This paper aims to propose an end-to-end high-performance multi-face… More >

    Abstract Scene text detection is an important task in computer vision. In this paper, we present YOLOv5 Scene Text (YOLOv5ST), an optimized architecture based on YOLOv5 v6.0 tailored for fast scene text detection. Our primary goal is to enhance inference speed without sacrificing significant detection accuracy, thereby enabling robust performance on resource-constrained devices like drones, closed-circuit television cameras, and other embedded systems. To achieve this, we propose key modifications to the network architecture to lighten the original backbone and improve feature aggregation, including replacing standard convolution with depth-wise convolution, adopting the C2 sequence module in place More >

    Abstract Under the influence of air humidity, dust, aerosols, etc., in real scenes, haze presents an uneven state. In this way, the image quality and contrast will decrease. In this case, It is difficult to detect the target in the image by the universal detection network. Thus, a dual subnet based on multi-task collaborative training (DSMCT) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, in the training phase, the Gated Context Aggregation Network (GCANet) is used as the supervisory network of YOLOX to promote the extraction of clean information in foggy scenes. In the test phase, only the… More >

    Abstract Overtaking is a crucial maneuver in road transportation that requires a clear view of the road ahead. However, limited visibility of ahead vehicles can often make it challenging for drivers to assess the safety of overtaking maneuvers, leading to accidents and fatalities. In this paper, we consider atrous convolution, a powerful tool for explicitly adjusting the field-of-view of a filter as well as controlling the resolution of feature responses generated by Deep Convolutional Neural Networks in the context of semantic image segmentation. This article explores the potential of seeing-through vehicles as a solution to enhance… More >

    Abstract Inpatient falls from beds in hospitals are a common problem. Such falls may result in severe injuries. This problem can be addressed by continuous monitoring of patients using cameras. Recent advancements in deep learning-based video analytics have made this task of fall detection more effective and efficient. Along with fall detection, monitoring of different activities of the patients is also of significant concern to assess the improvement in their health. High computation-intensive models are required to monitor every action of the patient precisely. This requirement limits the applicability of such networks. Hence, to keep the… More >

    Abstract Automated object detection has received the most attention over the years. Use cases ranging from autonomous driving applications to military surveillance systems, require robust detection of objects in different illumination conditions. State-of-the-art object detectors tend to fare well in object detection during daytime conditions. However, their performance is severely hampered in night light conditions due to poor illumination. To address this challenge, the manuscript proposes an improved YOLOv5-based object detection framework for effective detection in unevenly illuminated nighttime conditions. Firstly, the preprocessing strategies involve using the Zero-DCE++ approach to enhance lowlight images. It is followed… More >

    Abstract Safety helmets can reduce head injuries from object impacts and lower the probability of safety accidents, as well as being of great significance to construction safety. However, for a variety of reasons, construction workers nowadays may not strictly enforce the rules of wearing safety helmets. In order to strengthen the safety of construction site, the traditional practice is to manage it through methods such as regular inspections by safety officers, but the cost is high and the effect is poor. With the popularization and application of construction site video monitoring, manual video monitoring has been… More >
