Abstract The existing safety helmet detection methods are mainly based on one-stage object detection algorithms with high detection speed to reach the real-time detection requirements, but they can’t accurately detect small objects and objects with obstructions. Therefore, we propose a helmet detection algorithm based on the attention mechanism (AT-YOLO). First of all, a channel attention module is added to the YOLOv3 backbone network, which can adaptively calibrate the channel features of the direction to improve the feature utilization, and a spatial attention module is added to the neck of the YOLOv3 network to capture the correlation between any positions in the… More >

Abstract In recent years, deep learning models represented by convolutional neural networks have shown incomparable advantages in image recognition and have been widely used in various fields. In the diagnosis of sucker-rod pump working conditions, due to the lack of a large-scale dynamometer card data set, the advantages of a deep convolutional neural network are not well reflected, and its application is limited. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent diagnosis method of the working conditions in sucker-rod pump wells based on transfer learning, which is used to solve the problem of too few samples in a dynamometer card data set. Based… More >

Abstract Aim: To diagnose COVID-19 more efficiently and more correctly, this study proposed a novel attention network for COVID-19 (ANC). Methods: Two datasets were used in this study. An 18-way data augmentation was proposed to avoid overfitting. Then, convolutional block attention module (CBAM) was integrated to our model, the structure of which is fine-tuned. Finally, Grad-CAM was used to provide an explainable diagnosis. Results: The accuracy of our ANC methods on two datasets are 96.32% ± 1.06%, and 96.00% ± 1.03%, respectively. Conclusions: This proposed ANC method is superior to 9 state-of-the-art approaches. More >

Abstract

We propose a mobile system, called PotholeEye⁺, for automatically monitoring the surface of a roadway and detecting the pavement distress in real-time through analysis of a video. PotholeEye⁺ pre-processes the images, extracts features, and classifies the distress into a variety of types, while the road manager is driving. Every day for a year, we have tested PotholeEye⁺ on real highway involving real settings, a camera, a mini computer, a GPS receiver, and so on. Consequently, PotholeEye⁺ detected the pavement distress with accuracy of 92%, precision of 87% and recall 74% averagely during driving at an average speed of 110 km/h… More >

Abstract In 2020, the world faced an unprecedented pandemic outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which causes severe threats to patients suffering from diabetes, kidney problems, and heart problems. A rapid testing mechanism is a primary obstacle to controlling the spread of COVID-19. Current tests focus on the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The PCR test takes around 4–6 h to identify COVID-19 patients. Various research has recommended AI-based models leveraging machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks to classify COVID-19 and non-COVID patients from chest X-ray and computerized tomography (CT) scan images. However, no model can be claimed as a standard… More >

Abstract Visual tracking is a classical computer vision problem with many applications. Efficient convolution operators (ECO) is one of the most outstanding visual tracking algorithms in recent years, it has shown great performance using discriminative correlation filter (DCF) together with HOG, color maps and VGGNet features. Inspired by new deep learning models, this paper propose a hybrid efficient convolution operators integrating fully convolution network (FCN) and residual network (ResNet) for visual tracking, where FCN and ResNet are introduced in our proposed method to segment the objects from backgrounds and extract hierarchical feature maps of objects, respectively. Compared with the traditional VGGNet,… More >

Abstract Medical data tampering has become one of the main challenges in the field of secure-aware medical data processing. Forgery of normal patients’ medical data to present them as COVID-19 patients is an illegitimate action that has been carried out in different ways recently. Therefore, the integrity of these data can be questionable. Forgery detection is a method of detecting an anomaly in manipulated forged data. An appropriate number of features are needed to identify an anomaly as either forged or non-forged data in order to find distortion or tampering in the original data. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have contributed a… More >

Abstract Real-time and effective monitoring of a driver’s physiological parameters and psychological states can provide early warnings and help avoid traffic accidents. In this paper, we propose a non-contact real-time monitoring algorithm for physiological parameters of drivers under ambient light conditions. First, video sequences of the driver’s head are obtained by an ordinary USB camera and the AdaBoost algorithm is used to locate the driver’s facial region. Second, a face expression recognition algorithm based on an improved convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to recognize the driver’s facial expression. The forehead region is divided into three RGB channels as the region… More >

Abstract The problem of domestic refuse is becoming more and more serious with the use of all kinds of equipment in medical institutions. This matter arouses people’s attention. Traditional artificial waste classification is subjective and cannot be put accurately; moreover, the working environment of sorting is poor and the efficiency is low. Therefore, automated and effective sorting is needed. In view of the current development of deep learning, it can provide a good auxiliary role for classification and realize automatic classification. In this paper, the ResNet-50 convolutional neural network based on the transfer learning method is applied to design the image… More >
