A novel multimodal optical sensing system was developed for automated and intelligent food safety inspection. The system uses two pairs of compact point lasers and dispersive spectrometers at 785 and 1064 nm to realize dual-band Raman spectroscopy and imaging, which is suitable to measure samples generating low- and high-fluorescence interference signals, respectively. Automated spectral acquisition can be performed using a direct-drive XY moving stage for solid, powder, and liquid samples placed in customized well plates or randomly scattered in standard Petri dishes (e.g., bacterial colonies). Three LED lights (white backlight, Uv ring light, and white ring light) and two miniature color cameras are used for machinevision measurements of samples in the Petri dishes using different combinations of illuminations and imaging modalities (e.g., transmission, fluorescence, and color). Real-time imageprocessing and motion control techniques are used to implement automated sample counting, positioning, sampling, and synchronization functions. System software was developed using LabvIEW with integrated artificial intelligence functions able to identify and label interesting targets instantly. The system capability was demonstrated by an example application for rapid identification of five common foodborne bacteria, including Bacillus cereus, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp.. Using a machine learning model based on a linear support vector machine, a classification accuracy of 98.6% was achieved using Raman spectra automatically collected from 222 bacterial colonies of the five species grown on nutrient nonselective agar in 90 mm Petri dishes. The entire system was built on a 30x45 cm(2) breadboard, enabling it compact and portable and its use for field and on-site biological and chemical food safety inspection in regulatory and industrial applications.

This work proposes a vision-based perception algorithm that combines image-processing-based detection and tracking of aerial objects with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) integrated for classification of general aviation aircraft, multirotor small uncrewed aerial systems (SUAS), fixed-wing SUAS, and birds to enable improved onboard avoidance algorithm decision making. Furthermore, we integrate adversarial learning during the training of the CNNs and evaluate performance with class balanced and imbalanced datasets because this maximizes the utility of resource-expensive flight experiments to collect aviation datasets. We compare our proposed CNN with adversarial learning (CNN+ADvL) model with a state-of-the-art CNN as well as a you only look once (YOLO, v4) model retrained (YOLO v4 aircraft) on the same data. The CNN+ADvL trained on the imbalanced dataset achieves the highest 10-fold cross-validation classification accuracy of 76.2% for aircraft and birds for all ranges while achieving 87.0% aircraft classification accuracy, meeting proposed self-assurance separation distances derived from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines. In comparison, the CNNs achieved 74.4% 10-fold cross-validation classification accuracy for aircraft and birds as well as 83.4% accuracy for the aircraft, meeting proposed self-assurance separation distances derived from FAA guidelines. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the integration of adversarial learning improves the classification performance for the perception of aerial objects using a class imbalanced dataset.

During steel galvanisation, immersing steel strip into molten zinc forms a protective coating. Uniform coating thickness is crucial for quality and is achieved using air knives which wipe off excess zinc. At high strip speeds, zinc splatters onto equipment, causing defects and downtime. Parameters such as knife positioning and air pressure influence splatter severity and can be optimised to reduce it. Therefore, this paper proposes a system that converges computer vision and manufacturing whilst addressing some challenges of real-time monitoring in harsh industrial environments, such as the extreme heat, metallic dust, dynamic machinery and high-speed processing at the galvanising site. The approach is primarily comprised of the Counting (CNT) background subtraction algorithm and YOLOv5, which together ensure robustness to noise produced by heat distortion and dust, as well as adaptability to the highly dynamic environment. The YOLOv5 element achieved precision, recall and mean average precision (mAP) values of 1. When validated against operator judgement using mean average error (MAE), interquartile range, median and scatter plot analysis, it was found that there was more discrepancy between the two operators than the operators and the *** research also strategises the deployment process for integration into the galvanising line. The model proposed allows real-time monitoring and quantification of splatter severity which provides valuable insights into root-cause analysis, process optimisation and maintenance strategies. This research contributes to the digital transformation of manufacturing and whilst solving a current problem, also plants the seed for many other novel applications.

Floods are among the most common natural hazards in urban areas. To mitigate the problems caused by flooding, unstructured data such as images and videos collected from closed circuit televisions (CCTvs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAvs) have been examined for flood management (FM). Many computer vision (Cv) techniques have been widely adopted to analyze imagery data. Although some papers have reviewed recent Cv approaches that utilize UAvimages or remote sensing data, less effort has been devoted to studies that have focused on CCTv data. In addition, few studies have distinguished between the main research objectives of Cv techniques (e.g., flood depth and flooded area) for a comprehensive understanding of the current status and trends of Cvapplications for each FM research topic. Thus, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature that proposes Cv techniques for aspects of FM using ground camera (e.g., CCTv) data. Research topics are classified into four categories: flood depth, flood detection, flooded area, and surface water velocity. These application areas are subdivided into three types: urban, river and stream, and experimental. The adopted Cv techniques are summarized for each research topic and application area. The primary goal of this review is to provide guidance for researchers who plan to design a Cv model for specific purposes such as flood-depth estimation. Researchers should be able to draw on this review to construct an appropriate Cv model for any FM purpose.

The objective of computer vision research is to endow computers with human-like perception to enable the capability to detect their surroundings, interpret the data they sense, take appropriate actions, and learn from their experiences to improve future performance. The area has progressed from using traditional pattern recognition and imageprocessing technologies to advanced techniques in image understanding such as model-based and knowledge-based vision. In the past few years, there has been a surge of interest in machine learning algorithms for computer vision-based applications. machine learning technology has the potential to significantly contribute to the development of flexible and robust vision algorithms that will improve the performance of practical vision systems with a higher level of competence and greater generality. Additionally, the development of machine learning-based architectures has the potential to reduce system development time while simultaneously achieving the above-stated performance improvements. This work proposes utilizing a computer vision-based approach that leverages machine and deep learning systems to aid the detection and identification of sow reproduction cycles by segmentation and object detection techniques. A lightweight machine learning system is proposed for object detection to address dataset collection issues in one of the most crucial and potentially lucrative farming applications. This technique was designed to detect the vulvae region in pre-estrous sows using a single thermal image. In the first experiment, the support vector machine (SvM) classifier was used after extracting features determined by 12 Gabor filters. The features are then concatenated with the features obtained from the Histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) to produce the results of the first experiment. In the second experiment, the number of distinct Gabor filters used was increased from 12 to 96. The system is trained on cropped image windows and us

Breast cancer is a global illness that primarily affects women from young to middle-aged;and precision medicine and tailored treatment are still in need of efforts, to accommodate early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Due to its benefits in gathering rich characteristics for diagnosis and prognosis, radiomics in medical imaging has emerged as a popular research trend that provides vital information about textural and spatial features (specifically tumors/lesions). In this work, the concept of radiomics (both handcrafted and deep-learning based) is investigated for the prognosis of patients with breast cancer, and to determine the course of treatment that can be provided. To achieve this, an open-source package, named Pyradiomics is implemented on RIDER Breast MRI data to extract around 107 hand-crafted radiomics features. Following this, a U-NET-based segmentation model is employed to extract the deep features with four different pre-trained backbone architectures trained on the imageNet dataset, namely ResNet-50, EfficientNet-B3, Inception-ResNet-v2, and MobileNetv2. Among these, U-NET with ResNet-50 has achieved the highest AUC score of 0.7052, outperforming the rest considered and state-of-the-art techniques.

machinevision is a technology and method used to provide automated image-driven analysis in applications such as inspection, process control, and guidance, and is very popular in industries nowadays. Computer/machinevision has been extensively developed and used in production to achieve precise automatic control. This paper presented an imageprocessing approach, a subset of machinevision, for the visual inspection system of the Clutch Friction Disc (CFD) produced for 2 wheelers. imageprocessing is used to inspect different parts of the CFD. After previous operations of production, a part enters the inspection system, where the geometry and size of the part are inspected, and then imageprocessing technology is used to decide to accept or reject the product. This paper presented the work constructed using a python program with OpenCv which aims to identify the major defects in clutch friction plates, by using different imageprocessing techniques. With the proposed approach decision can be made automatically that whether the processed part will be accepted or rejected and then will be identified as "Ok tested" and "Faulty" pieces.
