Computer Vision: Models, Learning and Inference

A modern treatment focusing on learning and inference, with minimal prerequisites, real-world examples and implementable algorithms....

Calibration and Orientation of Cameras in Computer Vision

One of my greatest hates is the edited book with chapters from a number of different authors, some of which have evidently been written in haste against the final deadline, and most of which show marked divergence of content, opinion, notat...

Soft–Hard Attention U-Net Model and Benchmark Dataset for Multiscale Image Shadow Removal

Effective shadow removal is pivotal in enhancing visual image quality in applications such as computer vision and digital photography. During the last decades physics-based and machine learning methodologies have been proposed; however, mos...

Adversarial Attack on Object Detection via Object Feature-Wise Attention and Perturbation Extraction

Deep neural networks are commonly used in computer vision tasks, but they are vulnerable to adversarial samples, resulting in poor recognition accuracy. Although traditional algorithms that craft adversarial samples have been effective in a...

Autonomous Robotic Platform for Precision Viticulture: Integrated Mobility, Multimodal Sensing, and AI-Based Leaf Sampling

Viticulture is facing growing economic and environmental pressures that demand a transition toward intelligent and autonomous crop management systems. Phytopathologies remain one of the most critical threats, causing substantial yield losse...

Towards automated metaphase cell detection using foundation models: A SAM and DINO-based approach

Karyotyping is a widely used laboratory technique to detect abnormalities in chromosomes. Karyotyping consists of many steps, including collecting samples, cell culturing and metaphase cell detection. Cytogeneticists examine all the images ...

Human Behavior Analysis: A Comprehensive Survey on Techniques, Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Human Behavior Analysis (HBA) has emerged as a critical interdisciplinary field, combining psychology, sociology, artificial intelligence, and data science to model, understand, and predict human behavior across diverse domains. This paper ...

Discriminant Affinity Matrix for Deterministic Motion Trajectory Segmentation

We present a novel algorithm (DAM) for deterministic motion trajectory segmentation by using epipolar geometry and adaptive kernel-scale voting. DAM is based on geometric models and exploits the information derived from superpixels to deter...

Deep Learning and Bidirectional Optical Flow Based Viewport Predictions for 360° Video Coding

The rapid development of virtual reality applications continues to urge better compression of 360° videos owing to the large volume of content. These videos are typically converted to 2-D formats using various projection techniques i...

Computer vision applied to super resolution

Super-resolution (SR) restoration aims to solve the following problem: given a set of observed images, estimate an image at a higher resolution than is present in any of the individual images. Where the application of this technique differs...

HalluciGuard-eye: knowledge graph-enhanced retrieval-augmented generation for hallucination detection and mitigation in ophthalmic multimodal large language models.

Large language model developments.

Beyond generalist AI: purpose-built foundation models for transplantation.

Artifact segmentation using the U-Net architecture for powder X-ray diffraction images

Modern synchrotron X-ray facilities generate X-ray diffraction (XRD) image data at rates that far exceed the capacity of manual analysis, yet critical processing steps such as artifact removal rely on human intervention. Rule-based algorith...

Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Model of Project Investment Risk Based on Computer Vision Technology

With the development of the economy and real-time embedded systems and the progress of science and technology, people’s economic income forms have undergone tremendous changes, and the concept of financial management has become clearer in p...

A Self-Adaptive Traffic Signal System Integrating Real-Time Vehicle Detection and License Plate Recognition for Enhanced Traffic Management

Traffic management systems play a crucial role in smart cities, especially because increasing urban populations lead to higher traffic volumes on roads. This results in increased congestion at intersections, causing delays and traffic viola...

Multistage Convolutional Neural Network With Deformable Attention for Word-Level Offline Text-Independent Writer Identification

Offline writer identification is an essential component of biometric and forensic security fields, focusing on identifying the authors of handwritten documents in physical form. Historically, this approach has focused on text-dependent iden...

Image-Dehazing Method Based on the Fusion Coding of Contours and Colors

The dehazing of images shot in fog is a hot spot in the study of computer vision. Unlike dehazing methods, which use an atmospheric scattering model, the method proposed here is based on fusion coding of contours and colors. It simulates th...

Image decomposition using a second-order variational model and wavelet shrinkage

The paper is devoted to the new model for image decomposition, that splits an image $f$ into three components $u+v+\omega$, with $u$ a piecewise-smooth or the ``cartoon'' component, $v$ a texture component and $\omega$ the noise part in var...
