High Performance GPU Strategies for Real-Time In-Cabin Monitoring

With the expeditious advancement in multicarrier automotive in-vehicle monitoring for a bus conforming environment with computer vision, there is an exigency for a setup subsisting on inspection cameras and an onboard embedded computing dev...

MaskDis R‐CNN: An instance segmentation algorithm with adversarial network for herd pigs

Abstract The current instance segmentation method can achieve satisfactory results in common scenarios. However, under the overlap or partial occlusion between targets caused by the complex scenes, accurate segmentation of pigs remains a ch...

Performance Analysis of the SIFT Operator for Automatic Feature Extraction and Matching in Photogrammetric Applications

In the photogrammetry field, interest in region detectors, which are widely used in Computer Vision, is quickly increasing due to the availability of new techniques. Images acquired by Mobile Mapping Technology, Oblique Photogrammetric Came...

Early Termination of CU Partition Based on Boosting Neural Network for 3D-HEVC Inter-Coding

As an extension of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, the 3D-HEVC needs to encode multiple texture videos and depth maps components. In the 3D-HEVC inter-coding test model, a large variety of Coding Unit (CU) sizes are adopte...

A practical introduction to computer vision with OpenCV

Explains the theory behind basic computer vision and provides a bridge from the theory to practical implementation using the industry standard OpenCV libraries Computer Vision is a rapidly expanding area and it is becoming progressively eas...

Calibration and Orientation of Cameras in Computer Vision

One of my greatest hates is the edited book with chapters from a number of different authors, some of which have evidently been written in haste against the final deadline, and most of which show marked divergence of content, opinion, notat...

Autonomous Robotic Platform for Precision Viticulture: Integrated Mobility, Multimodal Sensing, and AI-Based Leaf Sampling

Viticulture is facing growing economic and environmental pressures that demand a transition toward intelligent and autonomous crop management systems. Phytopathologies remain one of the most critical threats, causing substantial yield losse...

Deep Learning and Bidirectional Optical Flow Based Viewport Predictions for 360° Video Coding

The rapid development of virtual reality applications continues to urge better compression of 360° videos owing to the large volume of content. These videos are typically converted to 2-D formats using various projection techniques i...

Multistage Convolutional Neural Network With Deformable Attention for Word-Level Offline Text-Independent Writer Identification

Offline writer identification is an essential component of biometric and forensic security fields, focusing on identifying the authors of handwritten documents in physical form. Historically, this approach has focused on text-dependent iden...

Image decomposition using a second-order variational model and wavelet shrinkage

The paper is devoted to the new model for image decomposition, that splits an image $f$ into three components $u+v+\omega$, with $u$ a piecewise-smooth or the ``cartoon'' component, $v$ a texture component and $\omega$ the noise part in var...

A comprehensive analytical assessment of dino-based architectures for sustainable automated potato inspection in the Al Kharj Region

Abstract Self-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm in computer vision, particularly for applications where labeled data are limited, costly, or labor-intensive to obtain. This paradigm is especially relevant to sustai...

SAIN:structure-aware image inpainting for large missing areas

Abstract Image inpainting is crucial for restoring missing or corrupted regions in images, with diverse applications in computer vision and digital content creation. Existing deep learning-based methods, however, often struggle with large o...

Removing fences from sweep motion videos using global 3D reconstruction and fence-aware light field rendering

Abstract Diminishing the appearance of a fence in an image is a challenging research area due to the characteristics of fences (thinness, lack of texture, etc.) and the need for occluded background restoration. In this paper, we describe a ...

Fruits and vegetables quality evaluation using computer vision: A review

In agriculture science, automation increases the quality, economic growth and productivity of the country. The export market and quality evaluation are affected by assorting of fruits and vegetables. The crucial sensory characteristic of fr...
