TSER: A Two-Stage Character Segmentation Network With Two-Stream Attention and Edge Refinement

Segmenting characters in an image is a classic yet challenging task in computer vision. Correctly determining boundaries of adhesive characters with various scales and shapes is essential for character segmentation, especially for separatin...

A review of computer vision–based structural health monitoring at local and global levels

Structural health monitoring at local and global levels using computer vision technologies has gained much attention in the structural health monitoring community in research and practice. Due to the computer vision technology application a...

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...

Health Information Exchange: Contributions from 2024.

A human activity recognition method based on Vision Transformer

Abstract Human activity recognition has a wide range of applications in various fields, such as video surveillance, virtual reality and human–computer intelligent interaction. It has emerged as a significant research area in computer vision...

Human Behavior Analysis: A Comprehensive Survey on Techniques, Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Human Behavior Analysis (HBA) has emerged as a critical interdisciplinary field, combining psychology, sociology, artificial intelligence, and data science to model, understand, and predict human behavior across diverse domains. This paper ...

Discriminant Affinity Matrix for Deterministic Motion Trajectory Segmentation

We present a novel algorithm (DAM) for deterministic motion trajectory segmentation by using epipolar geometry and adaptive kernel-scale voting. DAM is based on geometric models and exploits the information derived from superpixels to deter...

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...

Artifact segmentation using the U-Net architecture for powder X-ray diffraction images

Modern synchrotron X-ray facilities generate X-ray diffraction (XRD) image data at rates that far exceed the capacity of manual analysis, yet critical processing steps such as artifact removal rely on human intervention. Rule-based algorith...

A Self-Adaptive Traffic Signal System Integrating Real-Time Vehicle Detection and License Plate Recognition for Enhanced Traffic Management

Traffic management systems play a crucial role in smart cities, especially because increasing urban populations lead to higher traffic volumes on roads. This results in increased congestion at intersections, causing delays and traffic viola...

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 ...

Image-Dehazing Method Based on the Fusion Coding of Contours and Colors

The dehazing of images shot in fog is a hot spot in the study of computer vision. Unlike dehazing methods, which use an atmospheric scattering model, the method proposed here is based on fusion coding of contours and colors. It simulates th...

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...

Impact of Protein Conformational Diversity on Structure-Based Prediction of Druggability.

Discriminative feature encoding for intrinsic image decomposition

Abstract Intrinsic image decomposition is an important and long-standing computer vision problem. Given an input image, recovering the physical scene properties is ill-posed. Several physically motivated priors have been used to restrict th...

Problems In Indoor Mapping and Modelling

Research in support of indoor mapping and modelling (IMM) has been active for over thirty years. This research has come in the form of As-Built surveys, Data structuring, Visualisation techniques, Navigation models and so forth. Much of thi...
