Automatic building detection and land use classification in urban areas using multispectral high-spatial resolution imagery and LiDAR data

Urban areas areimportant environments, accounting for approximately half the population of theworld. Cities attract residents partly because they offer ample opportunitiesfor development, which often results in urban sprawl and its complex ...

Log‐Euclidean bag of words for human action recognition

Representing videos by densely extracted local space–time features has recently become a popular approach for analysing actions. In this study, the authors tackle the problem of categorising human actions by devising bag of words (BoWs) mod...

Machine Vision and Canny Edge Detector–Based Printing Image Detection and Recognition Model

Traditional image detection and recognition models face issues such as high miss detection rates, low classification accuracy, and poor real-time performance when dealing with complex printing images, including defects and flaws. To address...

Video Processing Using Deep Learning Techniques: A Systematic Literature Review

Studies show lots of advanced research on various data types such as image, speech, and text using deep learning techniques, but nowadays, research on video processing is also an emerging field of computer vision. Several surveys are presen...

Florence: A New Foundation Model for Computer Vision

Automated visual understanding of our diverse and open world demands computer vision models to generalize well with minimal customization for specific tasks, similar to human vision. Computer vision foundation models, which are trained on d...

Domain Adaptation in Computer Vision Applications

Ear biometrics in computer vision

A class of biometrics based upon ear features is introduced for use in the development of passive identification systems. The viability of the proposed biometric is shown both theoretically in terms of the uniqueness and measurability over ...

Convolutional-de-convolutional neural networks for recognition of surgical workflow

Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has occupied an important position in modern surgery, further stimulating the progress of methodology and technology. In recent years, a large number of computer vision-based methods have been widely used in ...

Sparse Representation for Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

Techniques from sparse signal representation are beginning to see significant impact in computer vision, often on nontraditional applications where the goal is not just to obtain a compact high-fidelity representation of the observed signal...

Information fusion in computer vision using the fuzzy integral

A method of evidence fusion, based on the fuzzy integral, is developed. This technique nonlinearly combines objective evidence, in the form of a fuzzy membership function, with subjective evaluation of the worth of the sources with respect ...

Hand Gesture Recognition Based on Computer Vision: A Review of Techniques

Hand gestures are a form of nonverbal communication that can be used in several fields such as communication between deaf-mute people, robot control, human-computer interaction (HCI), home automation and medical applications. Research paper...
