With the development of intelligent industrial production, industrial components with linear structure tend to be regular, such as TV LCD module, mobile phone screen, and electronic equipment shell. Recognition of linear structure objects by machine vision is an important aspect of intelligent industry. At present, shape matching algorithm is mostly used for arbitrary structure objects. It will be time-consuming if it is directly used to detect the linear structure objects as it needs to traverse the parameter space of the object. To solve the traversal problem and detect the linear structure objects in real time, a heuristic detection algorithm is designed according to the characteristics of linear structure objects. First, the coarse position and orientation are obtained by mean shift filtering and heuristic region grouping to reduce the searching range. Then, the heuristic search method is used to get the precise location information. The heuristic search method is designed based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm and heuristic information. The proposed method has been evaluated on two image databases of common industrial parts and backlight units which are typical linear structure objects. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm could reduce the detect time by more than 70% averagely while the detection accuracy is kept. It proves that the proposed algorithm can detect linear structure objects in real time and is suitable for the detection of objects with linear structures.

Due to the limitation of energy consumption and power consumption, the embedded platform cannot meet the real-time requirements of the far-infrared image pedestrian detection algorithm. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new real-time infrared pedestrian detection algorithm (RepVGG-YOLOv4, Rep-YOLO), which uses RepVGG to reconstruct the YOLOv4 backbone network, reduces the amount of model parameters and calculations, and improves the speed of target detection; using space spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) obtains different receptive field information to improve the accuracy of model detection; using the channel pruning compression method reduces redundant parameters, model size, and computational complexity. The experimental results show that compared with the YOLOv4 target detection algorithm, the Rep-YOLO algorithm reduces the model volume by 90%, the floating-point calculation is reduced by 93.4%, the reasoning speed is increased by 4 times, and the model detection accuracy after compression reaches 93.25%.

This paper presents a method which combines the traditional threshold method and SVM method, to detect the cloud of Landsat-8 images. The proposed method is implemented using DSP for real-time cloud detection. The DSP platform connects with emulator and personal computer. The threshold method is firstly utilized to obtain a coarse cloud detection result, and then the SVM classifier is used to obtain high accuracy of cloud detection. More than 200 cloudy images from Lansat-8 were experimented to test the proposed method. Comparing the proposed method with SVM method, it is demonstrated that the cloud detection accuracy of each image using the proposed algorithm is higher than those of SVM algorithm. The results of the experiment demonstrate that the implementation of the proposed method on DSP can effectively realize the real-time cloud detection accurately.

Vehicle detection is one of the most important environment perception tasks for autonomous vehicles. The traditional vision-based vehicle detection methods are not accurate enough especially for small and occluded targets, while the light detection and ranging- (lidar-) based methods are good in detecting obstacles but they are time-consuming and have a low classification rate for different target types. Focusing on these shortcomings to make the full use of the advantages of the depth information of lidar and the obstacle classification ability of vision, this work proposes a real-time vehicle detection algorithm which fuses vision and lidar point cloud information. Firstly, the obstacles are detected by the grid projection method using the lidar point cloud information. Then, the obstacles are mapped to the image to get several separated regions of interest (ROIs). After that, the ROIs are expanded based on the dynamic threshold and merged to generate the final ROI. Finally, a deep learning method named You Only Look Once (YOLO) is applied on the ROI to detect vehicles. The experimental results on the KITTI dataset demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high detection accuracy and good real-time performance. Compared with the detection method based only on the YOLO deep learning, the mean average precision (mAP) is increased by 17%.

Railway transportation has always occupied an important position in daily life and social progress. In recent years, computer vision has made promising breakthroughs in intelligent transportation, providing new ideas for detecting rail lines. Yet the majority of rail line detection algorithms use traditional image processing to extract features, and their detection accuracy and instantaneity remain to be improved. This paper goes beyond the aforementioned limitations and proposes a rail line detection algorithm based on deep learning. First, an accurate and lightweight RailNet is designed, which takes full advantage of the powerful advanced semantic information extraction capabilities of deep convolutional neural networks to obtain high-level features of rail lines. The Segmentation Soul (SS) module is creatively added to the RailNet structure, which improves segmentation performance without any additional inference time. The Depth Wise Convolution (DWconv) is introduced in the RailNet to reduce the number of network parameters and eventually ensure real-time detection. Afterward, according to the binary segmentation maps of RailNet output, we propose the rail line fitting algorithm based on sliding window detection and apply the inverse perspective transformation. Thus the polynomial functions and curvature of the rail lines are calculated, and rail lines are identified in the original images. Furthermore, we collect a real-world rail lines dataset, named RAWRail. The proposed algorithm has been fully validated on the RAWRail dataset, running at 74 FPS, and the accuracy reaches 98.6%, which is superior to the current rail line detection algorithms and shows powerful potential in real applications.

Abstract Recently, using image sensing devices to analyze air quality has attracted much attention of researchers. To keep real-time factory smoke under universal social supervision, this paper proposes a mobile-platform-running efficient smoke detection algorithm based on image analysis techniques. Since most smoke images in real scenes have challenging variances, it’s difficult for existing object detection methods. To this end, we introduce the two-stage smoke detection (TSSD) algorithm based on the lightweight framework, in which the prior knowledge and contextual information are modeled into the relation-guided module to reduce the smoke search space, which can therefore significantly improve the shortcomings of the single-stage method. Experimental results show that the TSSD algorithm can robustly improve the detection accuracy of the single-stage method and has good compatibility for different image resolution inputs. Compared with various state-of-the-art detection methods, the accuracy AP mean of the TSSD model reaches 59.24%, even surpassing the current detection model Faster R-CNN. In addition, the detection speed of our proposed model can reach 50 ms (20 FPS), which meets the real-time requirements, and can be deployed in the mobile terminal carrier. This model can be widely used in some scenes with smoke detection requirements, providing great potential for practical environmental applications.
