    Enhancing Dense Small Object Detection in UAV Images Based on Hybrid Transformer

    Changfeng Feng1, Chunping Wang2, Dongdong Zhang1, Renke Kou1, Qiang Fu1,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 3993-4013, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.048351

    Abstract Transformer-based models have facilitated significant advances in object detection. However, their extensive computational consumption and suboptimal detection of dense small objects curtail their applicability in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery. Addressing these limitations, we propose a hybrid transformer-based detector, H-DETR, and enhance it for dense small objects, leading to an accurate and efficient model. Firstly, we introduce a hybrid transformer encoder, which integrates a convolutional neural network-based cross-scale fusion module with the original encoder to handle multi-scale feature sequences more efficiently. Furthermore, we propose two novel strategies to enhance detection performance without incurring additional inference computation. Query filter is designed… More >

    Road Traffic Monitoring from Aerial Images Using Template Matching and Invariant Features

    Asifa Mehmood Qureshi1, Naif Al Mudawi2, Mohammed Alonazi3, Samia Allaoua Chelloug4, Jeongmin Park5,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.3, pp. 3683-3701, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.043611

    Abstract Road traffic monitoring is an imperative topic widely discussed among researchers. Systems used to monitor traffic frequently rely on cameras mounted on bridges or roadsides. However, aerial images provide the flexibility to use mobile platforms to detect the location and motion of the vehicle over a larger area. To this end, different models have shown the ability to recognize and track vehicles. However, these methods are not mature enough to produce accurate results in complex road scenes. Therefore, this paper presents an algorithm that combines state-of-the-art techniques for identifying and tracking vehicles in conjunction with image bursts. The extracted frames… More >

    A Real-Time Localization Algorithm for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Based on Continuous Images Processing

    Peng Geng1,*, Annan Yang2, Yan Liu3

    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.6, pp. 43-52, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jai.2024.047642

    Abstract This article presents a real-time localization method for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) based on continuous image processing. The proposed method employs the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm to identify key points in multi-scale space and generate descriptor vectors to match identical objects across multiple images. These corresponding points in the image provide pixel positions, which can be combined with transformation equations, allow for the calculation of the UAV’s actual ground position. Additionally, the physical coordinates of matching points in the image can be obtained, corresponding to the UAV’s physical coordinates. The method achieves real-time positioning and tracking during UAV… More >

    Ruochen Wang1,#, Jianjun Dong2,#, Lishan Jin3, Yuyan Sun3, Taogetao Baoyin2, Xiumei Wang*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.2, pp. 387-411, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.047573

    Abstract Grassland biomass is an important parameter of grassland ecosystems. The complexity of the grassland canopy vegetation spectrum makes the long-term assessment of grassland growth a challenge. Few studies have explored the original spectral information of typical grasslands in Inner Mongolia and examined the influence of spectral information on aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation. In order to improve the accuracy of vegetation index inversion of grassland AGB, this study combined ground and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remote sensing technology and screened sensitive bands through ground hyperspectral data transformation and correlation analysis. The narrow band vegetation indices were calculated, and ground and airborne… More >

    John Tshibangu Wa Ilunga1,*, Donatien Kamutanda Kalombo1, Olivier Ngoie Inabanza1, Dikumbwa N’landu1,2, Joseph Mukalay Muamba1,3, Patrice Amisi Mwana1, Urcel Kalenga Tshingomba1, Junior Muyumba Munganga1, Catherine Nsiami Mabiala1

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 15-35, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.046629

    Abstract The mutation of spaces observed in the Katangese Copper Belt (KCB) causes significant topographical changes. Some colonial geodetic markers are easily noticeable on many of the hills making up the KCB. These hills are subject to mining which ruins the completeness of the network of triangulations: geometric and trigonometric Katangese. In order to keep control of the latter, the study shows on the one hand the possibility of using SRTM data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) in the monitoring of the macro-change of the reliefs, from 442 positions, and on the other hand, an indirect (remote) inventory method of the existing… More >

    Abstract Landmines continue to pose an ongoing threat in various regions around the world, with countless buried landmines affecting numerous human lives. The detonation of these landmines results in thousands of casualties reported worldwide annually. Therefore, there is a pressing need to employ diverse landmine detection techniques for their removal. One effective approach for landmine detection is UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) based Airborne Magnetometry, which identifies magnetic anomalies in the local terrestrial magnetic field. It can generate a contour plot or heat map that visually represents the magnetic field strength. Despite the effectiveness of this approach, landmine removal remains a challenging… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.48, No.1, pp. 1-34, 2024, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.041866

    Abstract Technological advances in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) pursued by artificial intelligence (AI) are improving remote sensing applications in smart agriculture. These are valuable tools for monitoring and disease identification of plants as they can collect data with no damage and effects on plants. However, their limited carrying and battery capacities restrict their performance in larger areas. Therefore, using multiple UAVs, especially in the form of a swarm is more significant for monitoring larger areas such as crop fields and forests. The diversity of research studies necessitates a literature review for more progress and contribution in the agricultural field. In this… More >

    Multi-Equipment Detection Method for Distribution Lines Based on Improved YOLOx-s

    Lei Hu1,*, Yuanwen Lu1, Si Wang2, Wenbin Wang3, Yongmei Zhang4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 2735-2749, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.042974

    Abstract The YOLOx-s network does not sufficiently meet the accuracy demand of equipment detection in the autonomous inspection of distribution lines by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) due to the complex background of distribution lines, variable morphology of equipment, and large differences in equipment sizes. Therefore, aiming at the difficult detection of power equipment in UAV inspection images, we propose a multi-equipment detection method for inspection of distribution lines based on the YOLOx-s. Based on the YOLOx-s network, we make the following improvements: 1) The Receptive Field Block (RFB) module is added after the shallow feature layer of the backbone network to… More >

    Learning Dual-Domain Calibration and Distance-Driven Correlation Filter: A Probabilistic Perspective for UAV Tracking

    Taiyu Yan1, Yuxin Cao1, Guoxia Xu1, Xiaoran Zhao2, Hu Zhu1, Lizhen Deng3,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 3741-3764, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.039828

    Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tracking has been possible because of the growth of intelligent information technology in smart cities, making it simple to gather data at any time by dynamically monitoring events, people, the environment, and other aspects in the city. The traditional filter creates a model to address the boundary effect and time filter degradation issues in UAV tracking operations. But these methods ignore the loss of data integrity terms since they are overly dependent on numerous explicit previous regularization terms. In light of the aforementioned issues, this work suggests a dual-domain Jensen-Shannon divergence correlation filter (DJSCF) model address… More >
