Abstract In the field of intelligent surveillance, weakly supervised video anomaly detection (WSVAD) has garnered widespread attention as a key technology that identifies anomalous events using only video-level labels. Although multiple instance learning (MIL) has dominated the WSVAD for a long time, its reliance solely on video-level labels without semantic grounding hinders a fine-grained understanding of visually similar yet semantically distinct events. In addition, insufficient temporal modeling obscures causal relationships between events, making anomaly decisions reactive rather than reasoning-based. To overcome the limitations above, this paper proposes an adaptive knowledge-based guidance method that integrates external structured… More >

Abstract Deep learning has made significant progress in the field of oriented object detection for remote sensing images. However, existing methods still face challenges when dealing with difficult tasks such as multi-scale targets, complex backgrounds, and small objects in remote sensing. Maintaining model lightweight to address resource constraints in remote sensing scenarios while improving task completion for remote sensing tasks remains a research hotspot. Therefore, we propose an enhanced multi-scale feature extraction lightweight network EM-YOLO based on the YOLOv8s architecture, specifically optimized for the characteristics of large target scale variations, diverse orientations, and numerous small objects… More >

Abstract The critical components of gas turbines suffer from prolonged exposure to factors such as thermal oxidation, mechanical wear, and airflow disturbances during prolonged operation. These conditions can lead to a series of issues, including mechanical faults, air path malfunctions, and combustion irregularities. Traditional model-based approaches face inherent limitations due to their inability to handle nonlinear problems, natural factors, measurement uncertainties, fault coupling, and implementation challenges. The development of artificial intelligence algorithms has provided an effective solution to these issues, sparking extensive research into data-driven fault diagnosis methodologies. The review mechanism involved searching IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect,… More >

Abstract Accurate segmentation of breast cancer in mammogram images plays a critical role in early diagnosis and treatment planning. As research in this domain continues to expand, various segmentation techniques have been proposed across classical image processing, machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and hybrid/ensemble models. This study conducts a systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology, analyzing 57 selected articles to explore how these methods have evolved and been applied. The review highlights the strengths and limitations of each approach, identifies commonly used public datasets, and observes emerging trends in model integration and clinical relevance. More >

Abstract Container transportation is pivotal in global trade due to its efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. However, structural defects—particularly in grapple slots—can result in cargo damage, financial loss, and elevated safety risks, including container drops during lifting operations. Timely and accurate inspection before and after transit is therefore essential. Traditional inspection methods rely heavily on manual observation of internal and external surfaces, which are time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to subjective errors. Container roofs pose additional challenges due to limited visibility, while grapple slots are especially vulnerable to wear from frequent use. This study proposes a two-stage automated… More >

Abstract Malware poses a significant threat to the Internet of Things (IoT). It enables unauthorized access to devices in the IoT environment. The lack of unique architectural standards causes challenges in developing robust malware detection (MD) models. The existing models demand substantial computational resources. This study intends to build a lightweight MD model to detect anomalies in IoT networks. The authors develop a transformation technique, converting the malware binaries into images. MobileNet V2 is fine-tuned using improved grey wolf optimization (IGWO) to extract crucial features of malicious and benign samples. The ResNeXt model is combined with… More >

Abstract Accurate detection of smoke and fire sources is critical for early fire warning and environmental monitoring. However, conventional detection approaches are highly susceptible to noise, illumination variations, and complex environmental conditions, which often reduce detection accuracy and real-time performance. To address these limitations, we propose Lightweight and Precise YOLO (LP-YOLO), a high-precision detection framework that integrates a self-attention mechanism with a feature pyramid, built upon YOLOv8. First, to overcome the restricted receptive field and parameter redundancy of conventional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), we design an enhanced backbone based on Wavelet Convolutions (WTConv), which expands the… More >

Abstract This paper presents a unified Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-based (UAV-based) traffic monitoring framework that integrates vehicle detection, tracking, counting, motion prediction, and classification in a modular and co-optimized pipeline. Unlike prior works that address these tasks in isolation, our approach combines You Only Look Once (YOLO) v10 detection, ByteTrack tracking, optical-flow density estimation, Long Short-Term Memory-based (LSTM-based) trajectory forecasting, and hybrid Speeded-Up Robust Feature (SURF) + Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) feature engineering with VGG16 classification. Upon the validation across datasets (UAVDT and UAVID) our framework achieved a detection accuracy of 94.2%, and 92.3% detection accuracy when More >

Abstract Manual inspection of onba earing casting defects is not realistic and unreliable, particularly in the case of some micro-level anomalies which lead to major defects on a large scale. To address these challenges, we propose BearFusionNet, an attention-based deep learning architecture with multi-stream, which merges both DenseNet201 and MobileNetV2 for feature extraction with a classification head inspired by VGG19. This hybrid design, figuratively beaming from one layer to another, extracts the enormity of representations on different scales, backed by a pre-preprocessing pipeline that brings defect saliency to the fore through contrast adjustment, denoising, and edge… More >

Abstract Deep neural networks have achieved excellent classification results on several computer vision benchmarks. This has led to the popularity of machine learning as a service, where trained algorithms are hosted on the cloud and inference can be obtained on real-world data. In most applications, it is important to compress the vision data due to the enormous bandwidth and memory requirements. Video codecs exploit spatial and temporal correlations to achieve high compression ratios, but they are computationally expensive. This work computes the motion fields between consecutive frames to facilitate the efficient classification of videos. However, contrary… More >
