Abstract The usage of IoT-based smart meter in electric power consumption shows a significant role in helping the users to manage and control their electric power consumption. It produces smooth communication to build equitable electric power distribution for users and improved management of the entire electric system for providers. Machine learning predicting algorithms have been worked to apply the electric efficiency and response of progressive energy creation, transmission, and consumption. In the proposed model, an IoT-based smart meter uses a support vector machine and deep extreme machine learning techniques for professional energy management. A deep extreme More >

Abstract Traffic flow statistics have become a particularly important part of intelligent transportation. To solve the problems of low real-time robustness and accuracy in traffic flow statistics. In the DeepSort tracking algorithm, the Kalman filter (KF), which is only suitable for linear problems, is replaced by the extended Kalman filter (EKF), which can effectively solve nonlinear problems and integrate the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) of the target. The multi-target tracking framework was constructed with YOLO V5 target detection algorithm. An efficient and long-running Traffic Flow Statistical framework (TFSF) is established based on the tracking framework.… More >

Abstract Real-time pedestrian detection is an important task for unmanned driving systems and video surveillance. The existing pedestrian detection methods often work at low speed and also fail to detect smaller and densely distributed pedestrians by losing some of their detection accuracy in such cases. Therefore, the proposed algorithm YOLOv2 (“YOU ONLY LOOK ONCE Version 2”)-based pedestrian detection (referred to as YOLOv2PD) would be more suitable for detecting smaller and densely distributed pedestrians in real-time complex road scenes. The proposed YOLOv2PD algorithm adopts a Multi-layer Feature Fusion (MLFF) strategy, which helps to improve the model’s feature… More >

Abstract Automatic gastrointestinal (GI) tract disease recognition is an important application of biomedical image processing. Conventionally, microscopic analysis of pathological tissue is used to detect abnormal areas of the GI tract. The procedure is subjective and results in significant inter-/intra-observer variations in disease detection. Moreover, a huge frame rate in video endoscopy is an overhead for the pathological findings of gastroenterologists to observe every frame with a detailed examination. Consequently, there is a huge demand for a reliable computer-aided diagnostic system (CADx) for diagnosing GI tract diseases. In this work, a CADx was proposed for the… More >

Abstract Medical image segmentation is an important application field of computer vision in medical image processing. Due to the close location and high similarity of different organs in medical images, the current segmentation algorithms have problems with mis-segmentation and poor edge segmentation. To address these challenges, we propose a medical image segmentation network (AF-Net) based on attention mechanism and feature fusion, which can effectively capture global information while focusing the network on the object area. In this approach, we add dual attention blocks (DA-block) to the backbone network, which comprises parallel channels and spatial attention branches, More >

Abstract Object detection has been studied for many years. The convolutional neural network has made great progress in the accuracy and speed of object detection. However, due to the low resolution of small objects and the representation of fuzzy features, one of the challenges now is how to effectively detect small objects in images. Existing target detectors for small objects: one is to use high-resolution images as input, the other is to increase the depth of the CNN network, but these two methods will undoubtedly increase the cost of calculation and time-consuming. In this paper, based… More >

Abstract Image caption generation is an essential task in computer vision and image understanding. Contemporary image caption generation models usually use the encoder-decoder model as the underlying network structure. However, in the traditional Encoder-Decoder architectures, only the global features of the images are extracted, while the local information of the images is not well utilized. This paper proposed an Encoder-Decoder model based on fused features and a novel mechanism for correcting the generated caption text. We use VGG16 and Faster R-CNN to extract global and local features in the encoder first. Then, we train the bidirectional More >

Abstract Here, we use multi-type feature fusion and selection to predict COVID-19 infections on chest computed tomography (CT) scans. The scheme operates in four steps. Initially, we prepared a database containing COVID-19 pneumonia and normal CT scans. These images were retrieved from the Radiopaedia COVID-19 website. The images were divided into training and test sets in a ratio of 70:30. Then, multiple features were extracted from the training data. We used canonical correlation analysis to fuse the features into single vectors; this enhanced the predictive capacity. We next implemented a genetic algorithm (GA) in which an More >

Abstract Agriculture is essential for the economy and plant disease must be minimized. Early recognition of problems is important, but the manual inspection is slow, error-prone, and has high manpower and time requirements. Artificial intelligence can be used to extract fruit color, shape, or texture data, thus aiding the detection of infections. Recently, the convolutional neural network (CNN) techniques show a massive success for image classification tasks. CNN extracts more detailed features and can work efficiently with large datasets. In this work, we used a combined deep neural network and contour feature-based approach to classify fruits… More >

Abstract Multispectral images contain a large amount of spatial and spectral data which are effective in identifying change areas. Deep feature extraction is important for multispectral image classification and is evolving as an interesting research area in change detection. However, many deep learning framework based approaches do not consider both spatial and textural details into account. In order to handle this issue, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based multi-feature extraction and fusion is introduced which considers both spatial and textural features. This method uses CNN to extract the spatio-spectral features from individual channels and fuse them More >
