AN IMPROVED MASK R-CNN: EXTRACTION OF DOOR AND WINDOW INSTANCES ON VILLAGE BUILDING FAÇADE IMAGES

Rapid access to the basic structure of village buildings is conducive to the investigation of the load-bearing bodies of village houses and provides data support for disaster assessment and post-disaster rescue and reconstruction. The devel...

Effectual pre-processing with quantization error elimination in pose detector with the aid of image-guided progressive graph convolution network (IGP-GCN) for multi-person pose estimation

Multi-person pose estimation (MPE) remains a significant and intricate issue in computer vision. This is considered the human skeleton joint identification issue and resolved by the joint heat map regression network lately. Learning robust ...

A lightweight optimization framework for real-time pedestrian detection in dense and occluded scenes

Pedestrian detection is one of the most widely applied tasks in industrial computer vision. It encapsulates three core challenges of object detection: detecting small objects, handling heavy occlusion, and balancing speed and accuracy for d...

GUI testing using computer vision

Testing a GUI's visual behavior typically requires human testers to interact with the GUI and to observe whether the expected results of interaction are presented. This paper presents a new approach to GUI testing using computer vision for ...

Camera Calibration in High-Speed Robotic Assembly Operations

The increase in positioning accuracy and repeatability allowed the integration of robots in assembly operations using guidance systems (structured applications) or video acquisition systems (unstructured applications). This paper proposes a...

Object detection in crowded scenes via joint prediction

Detecting highly-overlapped objects in crowded scenes remains a challenging problem, especially for one-stage detector. In this paper, we extricate YOLOv4 from the dilemma in a crowd by fine-tuning its detection scheme, named YOLO-CS. Speci...

Evaluating the ergonomic deficiencies in computer workstations and investigating their correlation with reported musculoskeletal disorders and visual symptoms among computer users in Bangladeshi university

Background: Nowadays, computer users are facing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and visual symptoms. Prolonged sitting in inappropriate, awkward, and static postures on the computer workstation may cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). S...

Face hallucination based on cluster consistent dictionary learning

Abstract Face hallucination is a super‐resolution technique specially designed to reconstruct high‐resolution faces from low‐resolution faces. Most state‐of‐the‐art algorithms leverage position‐patch prior knowledge of human faces to better...

Evaluation of Indoor Thermal Environments Using a Novel Predicted Mean Vote Model Based on Artificial Neural Networks

The assessment of indoor thermal environments is crucial to achieving thermal comfort and energy efficiency. However, the inaccurate evaluation and strong nonlinear variations of thermal comfort parameters limit engineering designs. Therefo...

Bayesian Regularization of Neural Networks

Bayesian regularized artificial neural networks (BRANNs) are more robust than standard back-propagation nets and can reduce or eliminate the need for lengthy cross-validation. Bayesian regularization is a mathematical process that converts ...

Overview of Artificial Neural Networks

The artificial neural network (ANN), or simply neural network, is a machine learning method evolved from the idea of simulating the human brain. The data explosion in modem drug discovery research requires sophisticated analysis methods to ...

Neural Networks in Materials Science.

There are difficult problems in materials science where the general concepts might be understood but which are not as yet amenable to scientific treatment. We are at the same time told that good engineering has the responsibility to reach o...
