Computer Vision Using Local Binary Patterns

Evaluating Adversarial Robustness of No-Reference Image and Video Quality Assessment Models with Frequency-Masked Gradient Orthogonalization Adversarial Attack

Neural-network-based models have made considerable progress in many computer vision areas over recent years. However, many works have exposed their vulnerability to malicious input data manipulation—that is, to adversarial attacks. Although...

Computer Vision and Ship Traffic Analysis: Inferring Maneuver Patterns From the Automatic Identification System

The Automatic Identification System has proven itself as a valuable source for ship traffic information. Its introduction has reversed the previous situation with scarcity of precise data from ship traffic and has instead posed the reverse ...

Rapid developments in the field of underwater photogrammetry have given scientists the ability to produce accurate 3-dimensional (3D) models which are now increasingly used in the representation and study of local areas of interest. This pa...

Backhand-Approach-Based American Sign Language Words Recognition Using Spatial-Temporal Body Parts and Hand Relationship Patterns

Most of the existing methods focus mainly on the extraction of shape-based, rotation-based, and motion-based features, usually neglecting the relationship between hands and body parts, which can provide significant information to address th...

Robot Comedy Lab: Experimenting with the Social Dynamics of Live Performance

The success of live comedy depends on a performer's ability to 'work' an audience. Ethnographic studies suggest that this involves the co-ordinated use of subtle social signals such as body orientation, gesture, gaze by both performers and ...

From Data to Decisions: AI in Varicose Veins—Predicting, Diagnosing, and Guiding Effective Management
