Abstract On grounds of the advent of real-time applications, like autonomous driving, visual surveillance, and sports analysis, there is an augmenting focus of attention towards Multiple-Object Tracking (MOT). The tracking-by-detection paradigm, a commonly utilized approach, connects the existing recognition hypotheses to the formerly assessed object trajectories by comparing the similarities of the appearance or the motion between them. For an efficient detection and tracking of the numerous objects in a complex environment, a Pearson Similarity-centred Kuhn-Munkres (PS-KM) algorithm was proposed in the present study. In this light, the input videos were, initially, gathered from the MOT dataset and converted into frames.… More >

Abstract Big data is a comprehensive result of the development of the Internet of Things and information systems. Computer vision requires a lot of data as the basis for research. Because skeleton data can adapt well to dynamic environment and complex background, it is used in action recognition tasks. In recent years, skeleton-based action recognition has received more and more attention in the field of computer vision. Therefore, the keypoints of human skeletons are essential for describing the pose estimation of human and predicting the action recognition of the human. This paper proposes a skeleton point extraction method combined with object… More >

Abstract The present paper proposes a detection method for building exterior wall cracks since manual detection methods have high risk and low efficiency. The proposed method is based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and computer vision technology. First, a crack dataset of 1920 images was established using UAV to collect the images of a residential building exterior wall under different lighting conditions. Second, the average crack detection precisions of different methods including the Single Shot MultiBox Detector, You Only Look Once v3, You Only Look Once v4, Faster Regional Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) and Mask R-CNN methods were compared. Then, the… More >

Abstract In recent years, Smart City Infrastructures (SCI) have become familiar whereas intelligent models have been designed to improve the quality of living in smart cities. Simultaneously, anomaly detection in SCI has become a hot research topic and is widely explored to enhance the safety of pedestrians. The increasing popularity of video surveillance system and drastic increase in the amount of collected videos make the conventional physical investigation method to identify abnormal actions, a laborious process. In this background, Deep Learning (DL) models can be used in the detection of anomalies found through video surveillance systems. The current research paper develops… More >

Abstract Recently, autonomous systems become a hot research topic among industrialists and academicians due to their applicability in different domains such as healthcare, agriculture, industrial automation, etc. Among the interesting applications of autonomous systems, their applicability in agricultural sector becomes significant. Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used for suitable site-specific weed management (SSWM) to improve crop productivity. In spite of substantial advancements in UAV based data collection systems, automated weed detection still remains a tedious task owing to the high resemblance of weeds to the crops. The recently developed deep learning (DL) models have exhibited effective performance in several… More >

Abstract Safety helmet-wearing detection is an essential part of the intelligent monitoring system. To improve the speed and accuracy of detection, especially small targets and occluded objects, it presents a novel and efficient detector model. The underlying core algorithm of this model adopts the YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once version 5) network with the best comprehensive detection performance. It is improved by adding an attention mechanism, a CIoU (Complete Intersection Over Union) Loss function, and the Mish activation function. First, it applies the attention mechanism in the feature extraction. The network can learn the weight of each channel independently and enhance… More >

Abstract In image processing, one of the most important steps is image segmentation. The objects in remote sensing images often have to be detected in order to perform next steps in image processing. Remote sensing images usually have large size and various spatial resolutions. Thus, detecting objects in remote sensing images is very complicated. In this paper, we develop a model to detect objects in remote sensing images based on the combination of picture fuzzy clustering and MapReduce method (denoted as MPFC). Firstly, picture fuzzy clustering is applied to segment the input images. Then, MapReduce is used to reduce the runtime… More >

Abstract COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease of 2019) is caused by SARS-CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) and it was first diagnosed in December 2019 in China. As of 25th Aug 2021, there are 165 million confirmed COVID-19 positive cases and 4.4 million deaths globally. As of today, though there are approved COVID-19 vaccine candidates only 4 billion doses have been administered. Until 100% of the population is safe, no one is safe. Even though these vaccines can provide protection against getting seriously ill and dying from the disease, it does not provide 100% protection from getting infected and passing it on… More >

Abstract To obtain the most intuitive pedestrian target detection results and avoid the impact of motion pose uncertainty on real-time detection, a pedestrian target detection system based on a convolutional neural network was designed. Dynamic Selection of Optional Feature (DSOF) module and a center branch were proposed in this paper, and the target was detected by an anchor-free method. Although almost all the most advanced target detectors use pre-defined anchor boxes to run through the possible positions, scales, and aspect ratios of search targets, their effectualness, and generalization ability are also limited by the anchor boxes. Most anchor-based detectors use heuristically… More >

Abstract Robotics is a part of today's communication that makes human life simpler in the day-to-day aspect. Therefore, we are supporting this cause by making a smart city project that is based on Artificial Intelligence, image processing, and some touch of hardware such as robotics. In particular, we advocate a self automation device (i.e., autonomous car) that performs actions and takes choices on its very own intelligence with the assist of sensors. Sensors are key additives for developing and upgrading all forms of self-sustaining cars considering they could offer the information required to understand the encircling surroundings and consequently resource the… More >
