Restorative streetscapes in high-density urban tourism: environmental archetypes, visual attention, and psychophysiological responses.

A novel meta-feature fusion stacked ensemble for CT-based gynecologic cancer staging and survival analysis.

Machine eye for defects: Machine learning-based solution to identify and characterize topological defects in textured images of nematic materials

Topological defects play a key role in the structures and dynamics of liquid crystals and other ordered systems. There is a recent interest in studying defects in different biological systems with distinct textures. However, a robust method...

Advances in Computer Vision

Multi-scale attention and collaborative fusion for enhanced RGB-D salient object detection in weld quality inspection

Abstract Salient object detection (SOD) plays a crucial role in computer vision by mimicking human visual attention to identify and segment the most prominent objects in a scene. The advent of depth sensing technologies has propelled RGB-D ...

Intelligent Algorithm for Rock Core RQD Based on Object Detection and Image Segmentation to Suppress Noise and Vibration

In the construction of the civil engineering infrastructure, the noise and vibration are affected by the geological conditions, adopting specific construction techniques based on the geological conditions is of great significance in suppres...

Improving Image Embeddings With Colour Features in Indoor Scene Geolocation

Embeddings remain the best way to represent image features, but do not always capture all latent information. This is still a problem in representation learning, and computer vision descriptors struggle with precision and accuracy. Improvin...

Inversion Analysis Method for Tunnel and Underground Space Engineering: A Short Review

With the rise of the fourth industrial revolution, traditional methods of analyzing investment have been transformed into intelligent methods under big data and the Internet of Things. This has created a new approach to solving practical en...

A computer vision for animal ecology

A central goal of animal ecology is to observe species in the natural world. The cost and challenge of data collection often limit the breadth and scope of ecological study. Ecologists often use image capture to bolster data collection in t...

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1)

Strong gravitational lensing (SL) by galaxy clusters is a powerful probe of their inner mass distribution and a key test bed for cosmological models. However, the detection of SL events in wide-field surveys such as Euclid requires robust a...

LeafNST: an improved data augmentation method for classification of plant disease using object-based neural style transfer

Abstract Plant diseases significantly threaten global agriculture, impacting crop yield and food security. Nearly 30% of the crop yield is lost due to plant diseases. Efficient identification and classification of plant diseases through com...

Computer vision technology in agricultural automation —A review

Computer vision is a field that involves making a machine “see”. This technology uses a camera and computer instead of the human eye to identify, track and measure targets for further image processing. With the development of computer visio...

Computer Vision: Evolution And Promise

In this paper we give a somewhat personal and perhaps biased overview of the field of Computer Vision.First, we define computer vision and give a very brief history of it.Then, we outline some of the reasons why computer vision is a very di...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives.

Open real-time, non-invasive fish detection and size estimation utilizing binocular camera system in a Portuguese river affected by hydropeaking

The need for efficient approaches to track and assess fish behavior in rivers impacted by hydropeaking is increasing. Nonetheless, employing an automated camera system for underwater monitoring requires that the algorithms function under hi...

New topic horizons for drone systems and applications

Summary This journal (Drone Systems and Applications; DSA) conducted a targeted “horizon scan” during 2022 within our team of editors and associate editors. We asked—Which research areas currently under-represented in Drone Systems and Appl...
