Hair follicle detection in complex scalp environments remains challenging due to small target sizes, morphological similarities, and background interference. To address these issues, we propose HFD-NET, a novel real-time detection framework that significantly enhances weak feature representation while maintaining computational efficiency. Unlike existing methods, HFD-NET introduces three key innovations: (1) the CSRFConv module, which dynamically fuses spatial-channel features to suppress background noise and amplify discriminative follicle characteristics;(2) the C3k2_IBC module, optimized for multi-scale small-object detection through inverted bottleneck convolutions;and (3) the ADown module, which minimizes information loss during downsampling by preserving critical edge and texture details. Extensive experiments on the FDU_HairFollicleDataset demonstrate HFD-NET's superiority, achieving a 67.1% mAP@0.5-outperforming YOLO11n by 5.5%-with only a 0.1M parameter increase and negligible computational overhead. HFD-NET also generalizes effectively to public datasets (e.g., 71.6% mAP@0.5 on HFDC), surpassing Faster R-CNN, SSD, and recent YOLO variants in accuracy-efficiency trade-offs. This work bridges the gap between high-precision detection and real-time applicability, offering a practical solution for clinical hair transplantation and scalp health monitoring.

Recently, providing real-time navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles independent of global positioning systems has become of great importance. The state-of-the-art methods based on deeplearning, which give good results in certain datasets, and the existing methods can not provide real-time and good solutions on images with dynamic and fast moving. Moreover, the methods, were developed so far, were focused on object-based tracking algorithms. In this paper, the tracking of the points belonging to the target pattern, found by image matching, was performed with the machine learning model we developed for 10 sequential video images. The features extracted for the machine learning model are: (i) the change between the points of the previous image and the image before that, (ii) the points of interest in the previous image, (iii) the changes found with the homography matrix between sequential images. It was experimentally shown that, point tracking can be achieved with the least error, on avarage about 23 pixels for a 2 mega-pixel resolution image, among the algorithms in the literature that can process more than 30 images per second in a CPU environment of 2 GHz or above.

Accurate diagnosis of plant diseases by the assessment of pathogen presence to reduce disease-related production loss is one of the most fundamental issues for farmers and specialists. This will improve product quality, increase productivity, reduce the use of fungicides, and reduce the final cost of agricultural production. Today, new technologies such as imageprocessing, artificial intelligence, and deeplearning have provided reliable solutions in various fields of precision agriculture and smart farm management. In this research, microscopic imageprocessing and machine learning have been used to identify the spores of four common tomato fungal diseases. A dataset including 100 microscopic images of spores for each disease was developed, followed by the extraction of the texture, color, and shape features from the images. The classification results using random forest revealed an accuracy higher than 98%. Besides, as a reliable feature selection algorithm, the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) was used to detect the effective image features to identify and classify diseases. This algorithm recognized image textural features as the most effective features in the diagnosis and classification of disease spores. Considering only the eight most effective features selected with BOA resulted in an accuracy of 95% in disease detection. To further investigate the performance of the proposed method, its accuracy was compared with the accuracies of convolutional neural networks and EfficientNet as two reliable deeplearning algorithms. Not only the prediction accuracy of these methods was not favorable (65 and 83.55%, respectively), they were very time-consuming. According to the findings, the proposed framework has high reliability in disease diagnosis and can help in the management of tomato fungal diseases.

Mechanomyography (MMG) is a non-invasive technique for assessing muscle activity by measuring mechanical signals, offering high sensitivity and real-time monitoring capabilities, and it has many applications in rehabilitation training. Traditional MMG-based motion recognition relies on feature extraction and classifier training, which require segmenting continuous actions, leading to challenges in real-time performance and segmentation accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes an innovative method for the real-time segmentation and classification of upper limb rehabilitation actions based on the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm, integrating the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention mechanism to enhance the model's performance. In this paper, the collected MMG signals were transformed into one-dimensional time-series images. After imageprocessing, the training set and test set were divided for the training and testing of the YOLOv5s-SE model. The results demonstrated that the proposed model effectively segmented isolated and continuous MMG motions while simultaneously performing real-time motion category prediction and outputting results. In segmentation tasks, the base YOLOv5s model achieved 97.9% precision and 98.0% recall, while the improved YOLOv5s-SE model increased precision to 98.7% (+0.8%) and recall to 98.3% (+0.3%). Additionally, the model demonstrated exceptional accuracy in predicting motion categories, achieving an accuracy of 98.9%. This method realizes the automatic segmentation of time-domain motions, avoids the limitations of manual parameter adjustment in traditional methods, and simultaneously enhances the real-time performance of MMG motion recognition through imageprocessing, providing an effective solution for motion analysis in wearable devices.

Despite the improvements in the quality of digital images brought about by the development of digital cameras and smartphones, taking clean photographs remains a challenge due to the presence of noise such as moire patterns, especially for high-resolution images commonly used in today's real life. To more efficiently and accurately identify and remove moires in high-resolution images, this paper proposes an improved network based on the high-resolution network HRDN. We conducted experiments on the FHDMi dataset to evaluate the effectiveness of our method. The results demonstrate that the improved algorithm significantly enhances the performance of moire detection in high-resolution images, making it better suited to meeting the demands of real-world applications.

Breast cancer is recognized as a prominent cause of cancer-related mortality among women globally, emphasizing the critical need for early diagnosis resulting improvement in survival rates. Current breast cancer diagnostic procedures depend on manual assessments of pathological images by medical professionals. However, in remote or underserved regions, the scarcity of expert healthcare resources often compromised the diagnostic accuracy. Machine learning holds great promise for early detection, yet existing breast cancer screening algorithms are frequently characterized by significant computational demands, rendering them unsuitable for deployment on low-processing-power mobile devices. In this paper, a real-time automated system "Auto-BCS" is introduced that significantly enhances the efficiency of early breast cancer screening. The system is structured into three distinct phases. In the initial phase, images undergo a pre-processing stage aimed at noise reduction. Subsequently, feature extraction is carried out using a lightweight and optimized deeplearning model followed by extreme gradient boosting classifier, strategically employed to optimize the overall performance and prevent overfitting in the deeplearning model. The system's performance is gauged through essential metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and inference time. Comparative evaluations against state-of-the-art algorithms affirm that Auto-BCS outperforms existing models, excelling in both efficiency and processing speed. Computational efficiency is prioritized by Auto-BCS, making it particularly adaptable to low-processing-power mobile devices. Comparative assessments confirm the superior performance of Auto-BCS, signifying its potential to advance breast cancer screening technology.

In the digital age, Quick Response (QR) codes have become essential in sectors such as digital payments and ticketing, propelled by advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) and deeplearning. Despite their growing use, there are significant challenges in the accurate extraction and verification of QR codes, particularly in dynamic environments. Traditional methods struggle with issues like variable lighting, complex backgrounds, and counterfeits, which degrade the performance of QR code extraction and verification processes. This paper introduces a comprehensive approach that refines QR code extraction using enhanced adaptive thresholding techniques and incorporates a deeplearning framework specifically tailored for robust QR code verification. Our methodology integrates dynamic window size adjustment, statistical weighting, and post-thresholding refinement to ensure precise QR code extraction under varying conditions. The verification process employs the ShuffleNetV2 network to ensure high performance with significantly low processingtimes suitable for real-time applications. Additionally, our deeplearning model is trained on a comprehensive dataset comprising 28,523 images across 24 distinct QR code pattern classes, including variations in lighting, noise, and backgrounds to simulate real-world conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed methodology outperforms competing techniques in both processing speed and recognition accuracy, achieving a processingtime of 0.08 seconds and a validation accuracy of 99.99% in constrained scenarios. Our approach shows an exceptional ability to distinguish real QR codes from counterfeits and highlights the significance and efficacy of our method in addressing contemporary challenges.

This study presents a novel approach for non- contact extraction of physiological parameters, such as heart rate and respiratory rate, from facial images captured using RGB cameras, leveraging recent advancements in deeplearning and signal processing techniques. The proposed system integrates Artifacts intelligent-driven algorithms for accurately estimating vital signs, addressing key challenges such as variations in lighting conditions, facial orientation, and noise. The system is implemented on both a naive homogeneous architecture and an optimized heterogeneous CPU-GPU system to enhance real-time performance and computational efficiency. A comparative analysis is performed to evaluate processing speed, accuracy, and resource utilization across both architectures. Results demonstrate that the optimized heterogeneous system significantly outperforms the homogeneous counterpart, achieving faster processingtimes while maintaining high accuracy levels. This performance boost is achieved through parallel computing frameworks such as OpenMP and OpenCL, which allow for efficient resource allocation and scalability. The research highlights the potential of heterogeneous architectures for real-time healthcare applications, including remote patient monitoring and telemedicine, providing a robust solution for future developments in non-invasive health technology.

As the number of spacecraft and the complexity of their missions increase, space target component detection technology is becoming critical for ensuring spacecraft safety in orbit. An effective detection system not only monitors and identifies potential collision threats in real-time, enabling timely obstacle avoidance or path adjustments, but also provides crucial localization and identification capabilities for autonomous spacecraft maintenance and repair. However, most existing methods overlook image quality degradation resulting from prolonged on-orbit operation. Although deeplearning models have improved detection accuracy, they are often burdened by excessive network parameters and high computational complexity, which limits their applicability to low-power, lightweight, and resource- constrained on-board processing. In this study, we propose a lightweight dual-feedback neural network (LDFNN) for space target component detection and recognition. The network is designed to address the challenges posed by the space environment through a dual- feedback mechanism. The outer-feedback mechanism enhances recognition stability and accuracy by incorporating modulation transfer function (MTF) analysis and image quality assessment, while the inner-feedback mechanism is optimized for low-power on-orbit processing, improving both real-time performance and generalization.
