Automated estimation of cementitious sorptivity via computer vision

Monitoring water uptake in cementitious systems is crucial to assess their durability against corrosion, salt attack, and freeze-thaw damage. However, gauging absorption currently relies on labor-intensive and infrequent weight measurements...

Advanced Swine Management: Infrared Imaging for Precise Localization of Reproductive Organs in Livestock Monitoring

Traditional methods for predicting sow reproductive cycles are not only costly but also demand a larger workforce, exposing workers to respiratory toxins, repetitive stress injuries, and chronic pain. This occupational hazard can even lead ...

Performance Benchmarking: Pre-trained Models and Custom Convolutional Neural Networks in Deep Learning

Recent advances in computer vision and deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have significantly increased road safety. CNNs were used in this work to automatically detect and categorise traffic signs—a crucial ta...

Repurposing a commercial artificial intelligence vision platform for automated surgical instrument identification: a proof-of-concept study

Abstract Background Retained surgical items are classified as never events but continue to occur, and the count meant to prevent them is often recorded as correct even when an item is retained. Computer vision could provide an independent c...

Risk factors of digital eye strain among computer users at Al-Baha University

Background: Digital eye strain (DES) affects an estimated 60 million people worldwide, with a higher prevalence among populations that are occupationally reliant on digital display devices. Aim: This study investigated risk factors of DES ...

Reliable Parkinson’s Disease Detection by Analyzing Handwritten Drawings: Construction of an Unbiased Cascaded Learning System Based on Feature Selection and Adaptive Boosting Model

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease of central nervous system (CNS). Till now, there is no definitive clinical examination that can diagnose a PD patient. However, it has been reported that PD patien...

TRAMON: An automated traffic monitoring system for high density, mixed and lane-free traffic

This paper introduces a new visual dataset and framework to facilitate computer-vision-based traffic monitoring in high density, mixed and lane-free traffic (TRAMON). While there are advanced deep learning algorithms that can detect and tra...
