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...

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...

Monitoring the spread of a pathogenic insect on vineyards using UAS

Globalisation has contributed to rapid economic growth but has also exposed vulnerabilities such as the spread of pests in agriculture. An example is the Popillia Japonica Newman beetle, introduced to Italy in 2014, which has caused signifi...

Computer Vision for Human-Machine Interaction

Advances in the field of computer vision are leading to radical changes in the way we interact with computers. At the time of this book's publication in 1998, it would soon be possible to enable a computer linked to a video camera to detect...

Computer vision uncovers predictors of physical urban change

Which neighborhoods experience physical improvements? In this paper, we introduce a computer vision method to measure changes in the physical appearances of neighborhoods from time-series street-level imagery. We connect changes in the phys...

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...

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...

Monitoring pedestrian walking dynamics under environmental and policy influences in urban spaces

Abstract Understanding how environmental conditions and policy interventions jointly shape pedestrian mobility is essential for designing resilient, adaptive, and human-centered urban spaces. This study presents a computer-vision framework ...

Computer Vision Face Tracking For Use in a Perceptual User Interface

As a first step towards a perceptual user interface, a computer vision color tracking algorithm is developed and applied towards tracking human faces. Computer vision algorithms that are intended to form part of a perceptual user interface ...

Generative-augmented multimodal neuroaffective decoding for product evaluation: toward neurofeedback-driven human-in-the-loop co-design.

Automated detection of bicycle helmets using deep learning

Bicycle helmets are a main measure for injury prevention in case of a crash and are a central variable in transport safety studies. Despite this, helmet use data is only collected sporadically, as the observation of helmet use in traffic by...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON REINFORCEMENT LEARNING BASED VISUAL DIALOG SYSTEMS

Recently the conjunction between vision and language has created many intersecting tasks as visual question-answering systems, image captioning, etc. Specifically, dialog systems that depend on a visual scene play an important role in impro...

The long non-coding RNA LINC00152 is essential for cell cycle progression through mitosis in HeLa cells

Abstract In recent years, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) research has identified essential roles of these transcripts in virtually all physiological cellular processes including tumorigenesis, but their functions and molecular mechanisms are ...

Vision-Based Trajectory Generation and Kinematic Modeling for Human-like Grasp Reproduction in a Robotic Prosthetic Hand

The use of prosthetic devices can significantly improve the quality of life of individuals with limb amputations. However, existing prosthetic hands face multiple engineering and manufacturing challenges, making them economically inaccessib...

The psychological impact of the Metaverse

Abstract The Metaverse is no revolution, but another step in the evolution of the internet. Today we can observe various 3D virtual worlds with different focuses and purposes, like meeting spaces, education, or classic gaming. Most of these...

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 ...

Computer vision and artificial intelligence in mammography.

The revolution in digital computer technology that has made possible new and sophisticated imaging techniques may next influence the interpretation of radiologic images. In mammography, computer vision and artificial intelligence techniques...

Impact of Water Depth on Subway Emergency Evacuation in Flood Scenarios

[Objective] Evacuation bottlenecks for subway stations in flood scenarios are investigated to enhance subway station personnel evacuation efficiency under water inundation and backflow conditions, and provide insights for developing subway ...

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 ...
