Abstract This study presents an automated system for monitoring Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) compliance using advanced computer vision techniques in industrial settings. Despite strict safety regulations, manual monitoring of PPE compliance remains inefficient and prone to human error, particularly in harsh environmental conditions like in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. The proposed solution leverages the state-of-the-art YOLOv11 deep learning model to detect multiple safety equipment classes, including safety vests, hard hats, safety shoes, gloves, and their absence (no_hardhat, no_safety_vest, no_safety_shoes, no_gloves) along with person detection. The system is designed to perform real-time detection of safety gear while… More >

Abstract As the core facility of offshore wind power systems, the structural safety of offshore booster stations directly impacts the stable operation of entire wind farms. With the global energy transition toward green and low-carbon goals, offshore wind power has emerged as a key renewable energy source, yet its booster stations face harsh marine environments, including persistent wave impacts, salt spray corrosion, and equipment-induced vibrations. Traditional monitoring methods relying on manual inspections and single-dimensional sensors suffer from critical limitations: low efficiency, poor real-time performance, and inability to capture millinewton-level stress fluctuations that signal early structural fatigue.… More >

Abstract In nowadays society, the safety of the elderly population is becoming a pressing concern, especially for those who live alone. There might be daily risks such as accidental falling or treatment attack on them. Aiming at these problems, indoor positioning could be a critical way to monitor their states. With the rapidly development of the imaging techniques, wearable and portable cameras are very popular, which could be set on human individual. And in view of the advantages of the visual positioning, the authors propose a binocular visual positioning algorithm to real-timely locate the elderly indoor.… More >
