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...

(Computer) vision without sight

Computer vision holds great promise for helping persons with blindness or visual impairments (VI) to interpret and explore the visual world. To this end, it is worthwhile to assess the situation critically by understanding the actual needs ...

Crowdsourcing in Computer Vision

Computer vision systems require large amounts of manually annotated data to properly learn challenging visual concepts. Crowdsourcing platforms offer an inexpensive method to capture human knowledge and understanding, for a vast number of v...

AI and Chatbot-Supported Interventions for Physical Activity and Obesity-Related Lifestyle Behaviors: Scoping Review With Attention to Family Involvement

Abstract BackgroundAI-enabled chatbots and related conversational systems can facilitate human–computer interaction through natural language, personalization, and automated support. In pediatric health promotion, these tools hav...

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...

Enhanced gradient learning for deep neural networks

Abstract Deep neural networks have achieved great success in both computer vision and natural language processing tasks. How to improve the gradient flows is crucial in training very deep neural networks. To address this challenge, a gradie...

Distribution of Marbling Throughout the M. Longissimus Thoracis et Lumborum of Beef Carcasses Using an Instrument-Grading System

Beef Loin, Strip Loins (IMPS #180; n = 20) with marbling scores between Modest00 and Modest30 at the 12th and 13th rib interface of the M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LL) were collected. Each strip loin was fabricated into 6 samples t...

Computer vision for assistive technologies

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...

A Flexible Object-of-Interest Annotation Framework for Online Video Portals

In this work, we address the use of object recognition techniques to annotate what is shown where in online video collections. These annotations are suitable to retrieve specific video scenes for object related text queries which is not pos...

Study of Efficiency Fractal Optical Modulator for insulator material by testing modulation transfer function

Chopper is an important component in optical system. It represents a device, which changes the angle between the coordinate and vision lines of the target for the electrical signal. The chopper modulates the optical signal by a frequency de...

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...

Secured Perimeter with Electromagnetic Detection and Tracking with Drone Embedded and Static Cameras

Perimeter detection systems detect intruders penetrating protected areas, but modern solutions require the combination of smart detectors, information networks and controlling software to reduce false alarms and extend detection range. The ...

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...

Enhancing image caption generation through context-aware attention mechanism

Image captioning, the process of generating natural language descriptions based on image content, has garnered attention in AI research for its implications in scene understanding and human-computer interaction. While much prior research ha...

Identifying people’s energy information needs through Energy Citizen Personas

Abstract Energy Citizenship refers to individuals and communities participating, sometimes begrudgingly, in adopting energy solutions, whether sustainable or not. When enacted positively, it advances the green energy transition. There are s...
