Low-light images are commonly encountered in real-world scenarios, and numerous low-light image enhancement (LLIE) methods have been proposed to improve the visibility of these images. The primary goal of LLIE is to generate clearer images that are more visually pleasing to humans. However, the impact of LLIE methods in high-level vision tasks, such as image classification and object detection, which rely on high-quality image datasets, is not well explored. To explore the impact, we comprehensively evaluate LLIE methods on these high-level vision tasks by utilizing an empirical investigation comprising image classification and object detection experiments. The evaluation reveals a dichotomy: While Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) methods enhance human visual interpretation, their effect on computer vision tasks is inconsistent and can sometimes be harmful. Our findings suggest a disconnect between image enhancement for human visual perception and for machine analysis, indicating a need for LLIE methods tailored to support high-level vision tasks effectively. This insight is crucial for the development of LLIE techniques that align with the needs of both human and machine vision. Copyright © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Social navigation datasets are necessary to assess social navigation algorithms and train machine learning algorithms. Most of the currently available datasets target pedestrians’ movements as a pattern to be replicated by robots. It can be argued that one of the main reasons for this to happen is that compiling datasets where real robots are manually controlled, as they would be expected to behave when moving, is a very resource-intensive task. Another aspect that is often missing in datasets is symbolic information that could be relevant, such as human activities, relationships or interactions. Unfortunately, the available datasets targeting robots and supporting symbolic information are restricted to static scenes. This paper argues that simulation can be used to gather social navigation data in an effective and cost-efficient way and presents a toolkit for this purpose. A use case studying the application of graph neural networks to create learned control policies using supervised learning is presented as an example of how it can be used. © 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

This paper introduces a novel compliant mechanism combining lightweight and energy dissipation for aerial physical interaction. Weighting 400 g at take-off, the mechanism is actuated in the forward body direction, enabling precise position control for force interaction and various other aerial manipulation tasks. The robotic arm, structured as a closed-loop kinematic chain, employs two deported servomotors. Each joint is actuated with a single tendon for active motion control in compression of the arm at the end-effector. Its elasto-mechanical design reduces weight and provides flexibility, allowing passive-compliant interactions without impacting the motors' integrity. Notably, the arm's damping can be adjusted based on the proposed inner frictional bulges. Experimental applications showcase the aerial system performance in both free-flight and physical interaction. The presented work may open safer applications for Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) in real environments subject to perturbations during interaction.

The paper introduces a novel framework for safe and autonomous aerial physical interaction in industrial settings. It comprises two main components: a neural network-based target detection system enhanced with edge computing for reduced onboard computational load, and a control barrier function (CBF)-based controller for safe and precise maneuvering. The target detection system is trained on a dataset under challenging visual conditions and evaluated for accuracy across various unseen data with changing lighting conditions. Depth features are utilized for target pose estimation, with the entire detection framework offloaded into low-latency edge computing. The CBF-based controller enables the UAV to converge safely to the target for precise contact. Simulated evaluations of both the controller and target detection are presented, alongside an analysis of real-world detection performance. © 2024, CC BY.

We propose a novel framework to estimate intensive care unit patients' health risk continuously with anomaly-encoded patient data. This framework consists of two modules. In the first module, we use Gaussian process models to learn change trend and day-night circulation in temporal patient data and annotate abnormal data. Such models provide dynamically adaptable bedside patient monitoring instead of conventional threshold-based monitoring. In the second module, we use the abnormal data together with the learned Gaussian models to estimate patients' risk level by predicting their in-hospital mortality and remaining length of stay in ICU ward. We show that prediction models with anomaly-encoded data have better performance than those with raw patient measurements, and they are comparable with state-of-art prediction models.

Background and Objective: Although automated Skin Lesion Classification (SLC) is a crucial integral step in computer-aided diagnosis, it remains challenging due to variability in textures, colors, indistinguishable boundaries, and shapes. Methods: This article proposes an automated dermoscopic SLC framework named Dermoscopic Expert (DermoExpert). It combines the pre-processing and hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (hybrid-CNN). The proposed hybrid-CNN has three distinct feature extractor modules, which are fused to achieve better-depth feature maps of the lesion. Those single and fused feature maps are classified using different fully connected layers, then ensembled to predict a lesion class. In the proposed pre-processing, we apply lesion segmentation, augmentation (geometry- and intensity-based), and class rebalancing (penalizing the majority class's loss and merging additional images to the minority classes). Moreover, we leverage transfer learning from the pre-trained models. Finally, we deploy the weights of our DermoExpert to a possible web application. Results: We evaluate our DermoExpert on the ISIC-2016, ISIC-2017, and ISIC-2018 datasets, where the DermoExpert has achieved the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.96, 0.95, and 0.97, respectively. The experimental results improve the state-of-the-art by the margins of 10.0% and 2.0%, respectively, for the ISIC-2016 and ISIC-2017 datasets in terms of AUC. The DermoExpert also outperforms by 3.0% for the ISIC-2018 dataset concerning a balanced accuracy. Conclusion: Since DermoExpert provides better classification outcomes on three different datasets, leading to a better recognition tool to assist dermatologists. Our source code and segmented masks for the ISIC-2018 dataset will be available as a public benchmark for future improvements. © 2022 The Authors

Object detection has made substantial progress in the last decade, due to the capability of convolution in extracting local context of objects. However, the scales of objects are diverse and current convolution can only process single-scale input. The capability of traditional convolution with a fixed receptive field in dealing with such a scale variance problem, is thus limited. Multi-scale feature representation has been proven to be an effective way to mitigate the scale variance problem. Recent researches mainly adopt partial connection with certain scales, or aggregate features from all scales and focus on the global information across the scales. However, the information across spatial and depth dimensions is ignored. Inspired by this, we propose the multi-scale convolution (MSConv) to handle this problem. Taking into consideration scale, spatial and depth information at the same time, MSConv is able to process multi-scale input more comprehensively. MSConv is effective and computationally efficient, with only a small increase of computational cost. For most of the single-stage object detectors, replacing the traditional convolutions with MSConvs in the detection head can bring more than 2.5% improvement in AP (on COCO 2017 dataset), with only 3% increase of FLOPs. MSConv is also flexible and effective for two-stage object detectors. When extended to the mainstream two-stage object detectors, MSConv can bring up to 3.0% improvement in AP. Our best model under single-scale testing achieves 48.9% AP on COCO 2017 test-dev split, which surpasses many state-of-the-art methods. © 2022, CC BY.

Limited by the working principles, LiDAR-SLAM systems suffer from the degeneration phenomenon in environments such as long corridors and tunnels, due to the lack of sufficient geometric features for frame-to-frame matching. The accuracy and sensitivity of existing degeneracy detection methods need to be further improved. In this paper, we propose a novel method for degeneracy detection using local geometric models based on point-to-distribution matching. To obtain an accurate description of local geometric models, an adaptive adjustment of voxel segmentation according to the point cloud distribution and density is designed. The codes of the proposed method is open-source and available at https://***/jisehua/***. Experiments with public datasets and self-build robots were conducted to evaluate the methods. The results exhibit that our proposed method achieves higher accuracy than the other existing approaches. Applying our proposed method is beneficial for improving the robustness of the LiDAR-SLAM systems.
