Countries flags are characterized by a combination of special colors. Building an automatic country flag detector is a hard task because of many challenges like deformation and difference in point of view. Motivated by the unique feature of the country flag colors and the power of deeplearning models, we propose to use color-based features and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a special local context neural network to perform the countries flags detection task. The proposed approach aims to enhance the performance of the ordinary Convolutional Neural Network by adding a local context neural network to enhance the localization task and adding a color-based descriptor to enhance the identification task. The color-based descriptor was used to focus on the color features because of its importance for the studied task. The Convolutional Neural Network was proposed to extract more relevant features for both localization and identification tasks. The local context network was used to localize the flag in the image. In order to train and evaluate the proposed approach, we propose to build a custom dataset for the world countries' flags. The proposed dataset counts 100 images for each country flag with a total of 20,000 images. The evaluation of the proposed approach proves its efficiency by achieving a mean Average Precision of 89.5% and a real-timeprocessing speed. The achieved results have proved the efficiency of the proposed method. The proposed enhancement was very effective that allows the achievement of high accuracy.

deeplearning has shifted the focus of traditional batch workflows to data-driven feature engineering on streaming data. In particular, the execution of deeplearning workflows presents expectations of near-real-time results with user-defined acceptable accuracy. Meeting the objectives of such applications across heterogeneous resources located at the edge of the network, the core, and in-between requires managing trade-offs between the accuracy and the urgency of the results. However, current data analysis rarely manages the entire deeplearning pipeline along the data path, making it complex for developers to implement strategies in real-world deployments. Driven by an object detection use case, this paper presents an architecture for time-critical deeplearning workflows by providing a data-driven scheduling approach to distribute the pipeline across Edge to Cloud resources. Furthermore, it adopts a data management strategy that reduces the resolution of incoming data when potential trade-off optimizations are available. We illustrate the system's viability through a performance evaluation of the object detection use case on the Grid'5000 testbed. We demonstrate that in a multi-user scenario, with a standard frame rate of 25 frames per second, the system speed-up data analysis up to 54.4% compared to a Cloud-only-based scenario with an analysis accuracy higher than a fixed threshold.

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoTs), various sensors are deployed to collect different physical information. Smart surveillance is one of applications by analyzing the real-time video generated by camera sensors. However, due to the limited computing capability of camera sensors, running video analysis models (e.g., AlexNet and YOLO3) on camera sensors directly consumes a lot of computing time. In addition, transferring video to the remote cloud suffers a long-distance transmission latency. Fortunately, edge computing has been considered as a promising solution for enabling computation-intensive yet latency-sensitive applications at resource-constrained devices. Thanks to edge computing, camera sensors can upload video to different edge servers employed at the edge of networks for processing. Moreover, the lightweight Kubernetes for edge computing, i.e., K3s, enable a fine-grained task division and parallel computing. In this paper, we consider a heterogeneous edge cooperative video analysis, i.e., face recognition, with the objective of minimizing the processing latency. Specifically, we use a deep Q-learning network (DQN) to dynamically adjust the size of pieces video allocated to different edge servers connected via wireless networks. In addition, to improve the resource utilization of edge servers and reduce the processing latency, each edge server further divides the received video into multiple segments that are processed by different containers in parallel. To validate the effectiveness of our scheme, we implement a small-scale prototype system and conduct numerous experiments. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm outperforms the other four schedule schemes by testing on the tasks of face recognition and pose recognition.

image denoising is an essential part of many imageprocessing and computer vision tasks due to inevitable noise corruption during image acquisition. Traditionally, many researchers have investigated image priors for the denoising, within the Bayesian perspective based on image properties and statistics. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown great success in image denoising by incorporating large-scale synthetic datasets. However, they both have pros and cons. While the deep CNNs are powerful for removing the noise with known statistics, they tend to lack flexibility and practicality for the blind and real-world noise. Moreover, they cannot easily employ explicit priors. On the other hand, traditional nonlearning methods can involve explicit image priors, but they require considerable computation time and cannot exploit large-scale external datasets. In this paper, we present a CNN-based method that leverages the advantages of both methods based on the Bayesian perspective. Concretely, we divide the blind i mage denoising problem into sub-problems and conquer each inference problem separately. As the CNN is a powerful tool for inference, our method is rooted in CNNs and propose a novel design of network for efficient inference. With our proposed method, we can successfully remove blind and real-world noise, with a moderate number of parameters of universal CNN.

The aim for organic farming is obtaining food of the highest quality, avoiding synthetic chemicals, protecting the environment and preserving the fertility of the land. In this context, effective pest control allows to reduce yield loss and pesticides application producing pollution-free vegetables. In fruit crops, Carpocapsa is the main pest present in pear, apple, walnut and quince trees. This insect produces irreversible damage to the fruit, since the larvae feed the seeds inside the fruit. In this paper, we present automatic pest detection and classification in the context of fruit crops based on imageprocessing and deep Neural Networks, employing an image collection obtained from in-field traps. Due to the limited size of the data set, we perform data augmentation to increase the number of images for training, to prevent over-fitting and to improve the deep neural network learning rate. Results showed an overall accuracy of 94.8%, while precision and recall scores for the class related with the moth were around 97.2% and 93.6% respectively, demonstrating the efficacy of this type of classifier proposed for pest detection. An inference time of 40 ms per image for the deep neural network classifier has been reached.
