Subject of study. We present details regarding the development of dual-band optoelectronic scanning systems for surveillance and detection of poachers and poaching equipment and the inclusion of image fusion and geolocation capabilities. Aim. We present research on a dual-band optoelectronic system for scanning the surface along a quasicircular trajectory that supports overlapping of frames for efficient fusion of images made from different points of view into a single image used to detect, recognize, and geolocate poaching. Methods. We present simulation and experimental study of a prototype system including television and thermal vision channels, a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna, and inertial navigation system modules mounted on a stabilized common platform. Main results. We propose a system design that will support simultaneous scanning of a search area in television and thermal imaging channels along a quasicircular trajectory, with the capability to expand the search area and provide 30% frame overlap for efficient image fusion. Gyroscopic sensors on the stabilized common platformfor the system and global navigation system antennas will support the requisite accuracy of the surveillance platform and target geolocation. The change in system viewing angle per unit time that would enable the resulting image to be obtained without missing any lines was determined. The primary components of the error in the coordinates of the surveillance platformwhen surveilling an objectwere also determined. The combination of field-of-view scanning and use of geolocation equipment supports the recognition of poachers and poaching equipment and the determination of their coordinates within a global coordinate system. An integrated high-precision GPS receiver (ProPak-v3-424) with an inertial system and data processing technology using Tightly Coupled IMU algorithms (Inertial Explorer) was found to be capable of determining the horizontal coordinates of a surveillance platf

In the defense sector, where mission success often hinges on the reliability of complex mechanical systems, the health of bearings within aircraft, naval vessels, ground vehicles, missile systems, drones, and robotic platforms is paramount. Different signal processing techniques along with Higher Order Spectral Analysis (HOSA) have been used in literature for the fault diagnosis of bearings. Bispectral analysis offers a valuable means of finding higher-order statistical associations within signals, thus proving to detect the nonlinearities among Gaussian and non-Gaussian data. Their resilience to noise and capacity to unveil concealed information render them advantageous across a range of applications. Therefore, this research proposesa novel approach of utilizing the features extracted directly from the Bispectrum for classifying the bearing faults, departing from the common practice in other literature where the Bispectrum is treated as an image for fault classification. In this work vibration signalsare used to detect the bearing faults. The features from the non-redundant region and diagonal slice of the Bispectrum are used to capture the statistical and higher-order spectral characteristics of the vibration signal. A set of sixteen machine learning models, viz., Decision Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors, Naive Bayes, and Support vector Machine, is employed to classify the bearing faults. The evaluation process involves a robust 10-fold cross-validation technique. The results reveal that the Decision Tree algorithm outperformed all others, achieving a remarkable accuracy rate of 100 %. The naive Bayes algorithm also demonstrated the least performance, with an accuracy score of 99.68 %. The results obtained from these algorithms have been compared with those achieved using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), revealing that the training time of these algorithms is significantly shorter in comparison to CNN.

Hybrid imaging modalities combine two or more medical imaging techniques offering exciting new possibilities to image the structure, function and biochemistry of the human body in far greater detail than has previously been possible to improve patient diagnosis. In this context, simultaneous Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance (PET/MR) imaging offers great complementary information, but it also poses challenges from the point of view of hardware and software compatibility. The PET signal may interfere with the MR magnetic field and vice -versa, posing several challenges and constrains in the PET instrumentation for PET/MR systems. Additionally, anatomical maps are needed to properly apply attenuation and scatter corrections to the resulting reconstructed PET images, as well motion estimates to minimize the effects of movement throughout the acquisition. In this review, we summarize the instrumentation implemented in modern PET scanners to overcome these limitations, describing the historical development of hybrid PET/MR scanners. We pay special attention to the methods used in PET to achieve attenuation, scatter and motion correction when it is combined with MR, and how both imaging modalities may be combined in PET image reconstruction algorithms.

In the current subsea industry scenario, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUvs) are widely used for expeditions and explorations. However, the mission duration is limited due to the limitations in the battery capacity. To increase the endurance, there is a need for a submerged docking station (DS) to charge the battery, also to update the next mission profile. In this letter, deep learning (DL) technique aided short-range vision guidance is envisaged for a reliable and precise AUv homing operation. Intelligent control algorithms with an efficient DL-based you only look once (YOLO) v5-imageprocessing techniques are used for DS detection and tracking and deployed in an edge computer integrated into AUv prototype. The developed illuminated DS and AUv prototype with high-definition camera has been demonstrated in test tank at depth of 2 m. An analysis was conducted on the DS data set, which comprised 132 images of clear and turbid water, 13 were designated for testing, 40 for validation, and 79 for training purposes. The results were observed that the probability of detecting the DS is 95%, detection range is 5 m, the probability of homing toward the DS is CEP 90 with the position error of 5% in less-turbid waters and in high-turbid waters, 60% is the probability of DS detection with position error up to 25%, detectable range is 1 m. The proposed embedded hardware is extremely useful for underwater reliable homing applications.

Bicubic interpolation is a classic algorithm in the real-time imageprocessingsystems, which can achieve good quality at a relatively low hardware cost, and is also the fundamental component of many other much more complex algorithms. However, the multiply-accumulate units (MAC) in the bicubic require massive resources in the hardware-based implementation, which limits the use of the bicubic algorithm. In this article, a hybrid architecture of fix-point and stochastic computing is proposed to reduce the hardware resource consumption by computing the low-weight bits ambiguously. The proposed architecture is tested on standard image sets to survey the performance and is implemented on Intel Cyclone v and Xilinx virtex-II targets to verify the hardware consumption. The experimental results show that the proposed architecture achieves significant resource reduction and even higher imageprocessing speed compared to the existing architectures with comparable performance.

Hand Segmentation plays a vital role in human-computer interaction using computer vision. It serves as an initial step in hand gesture recognition systems or to recognize various sign languages and is considered essential preprocessing. The region of interest (ROI) in an image requires filtering or modification, which can be represented as a bounding box or a binary mask picture. Accurate hand segmentation is the critical first phase in sign language recognition (SLR) systems. Segmenting the ROI reduces processing time and enhances the precision of sign recognition. This study proposes two methods: a contour-matching technique applied to a simple black background dataset, and a novel hybrid algorithm that combines the GrabCut method with the contour-matching method to extract the ROI from images with complex backgrounds. This work's purpose is to use the segmented images for the Indian sign language (ISL) recognition system. The results show that the contour-based segmentation technique achieves excellent results for the dataset with a black background. The number of iterations the GrabCut algorithm needs to separate the foreground varies depending on the complexity of the background. The algorithms are evaluated on datasets of ISL consisting of images with a black background and images with a complex background.
