Vehicle detection is one of the important applications of object detection in intelligent transportation systems. It aims to extract specific vehicle-type information from pictures or videos containing vehicles. To solve the problems of existing vehicle detection, such as the lack of vehicle-type recognition, low detection accuracy, and slow speed, a new vehicle detection model YOLOv2_Vehicle based on YOLOv2 is proposed in this paper. The k-means++ clustering algorithm was used to cluster the vehicle bounding boxes on the training dataset, and six anchor boxes with different sizes were selected. Considering that the different scales of the vehicles may influence the vehicle detection model, normalization was applied to improve the loss calculation method for length and width of bounding boxes. To improve the feature extraction ability of the network, the multi-layer feature fusion strategy was adopted, and the repeated convolution layers in high layers were removed. The experimental results on the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT)-Vehicle validation dataset demonstrated that the mean Average Precision (mAP) could reach 94.78%. The proposed model also showed excellent generalization ability on the CompCars test dataset, where the “vehicle face” is quite different from the training dataset. With the comparison experiments, it was proven that the proposed method is effective for vehicle detection. In addition, with network visualization, the proposed model showed excellent feature extraction ability.

The efficient management of road traffic is one primary facet of many, in smart cities. Traffic overcrowding can be managed successfully, if prior estimation of the number of vehicles that will pass though a crowded junction in a specific time is known. This paper introduces a methodology which targets vehicle extraction on videos covering vehicles. To resolve the problem of current vehicle detection such as the need of detection accuracy and slow speed, an improved YOLOv3 vehicle detection is utilized. The k-means clustering used to group the bounding box around the vehicle in training dataset. The method for calculation of loss with respect to the length and width of the bounding boxes was recovered through the implementation of the batch normalization process. Finally, to improve the feature extraction of the network the high repeated convolution layer are removed. The experiment results are carried out on the BIT-vehicle validation datasets which shows the improvement of mean Average Precision (mAP) could certainly reach 95.6%.

In order to improve the traffic in large cities and to avoid congestion, advanced methods of detecting and predicting vehicle behaviour are needed. Such methods require complex information regarding the number of vehicles on the roads, their positions, directions, etc. One way to obtain this information is by analyzing overhead images collected by satellites or drones, and extracting information from them through intelligent machine learning models. Thus, in this paper we propose and present a one-stage object detection model for finding vehicles in satellite images using the RetinaNet architecture and the Cars Overhead With Context dataset. By analyzing the results obtained by the proposed model, we show that it has a very good vehicle detection accuracy and a very low detection time, which shows that it can be employed to successfully extract data from real-time satellite or drone data.

Vehicle detection provides the facilitation of traffic planning and management. It also helps in finding suspected and stolen vehicles. Although it has many applications, it is a very complex problem due to variations in vehicle type and size. As the amount of vehicle types are very high the models find it hard to classify the correct type of the vehicle. In this paper, we are proposing a vehicle detection model based on YoloV3 convolutional neural network architecture with custom backbone. Our proposed backbone in the Yolov3 architecture helps classify the different types of vehicles accurately. This makes the classification of the images at pixel level and predicts the regression based ROI bounding box for the classified vehicles in the images. The model contains features extracted at different kernel sizes to find the features at multiple scales which will then be concatenated. Experiments were performed on the Kitti vehicle detection dataset have shown the superior performance of our proposed model.

There are several malware detection techniques available that are based on a signature-based approach. This approach can detect known malware very effectively but sometimes may fail to detect unknown or zero-day attacks. In this article, the authors have proposed a malware detection model that uses operation codes of malicious and benign executables as the feature. The proposed model uses opcode extract and count (OPEC) algorithm to prepare the opcode feature vector for the experiment. Most relevant features are selected using extra tree classifier feature selection technique and then passed through several supervised learning algorithms like support vector machine, naive bayes, decision tree, random forest, logistic regression, and k-nearest neighbour to build classification models for malware detection. The proposed model has achieved a detection accuracy of 98.7%, which makes this model better than many of the similar works discussed in the literature.

Computer-based technologies play a central role in the dentistry field, as they present many methods for diagnosing and detecting various diseases, such as periodontitis. The current study aimed to develop and evaluate the state-of-the-art object detection and recognition techniques and deep learning algorithms for the automatic detection of periodontal disease in orthodontic patients using intraoral images. In this study, a total of 134 intraoral images were divided into a training dataset (n = 107 [80%]) and a test dataset (n = 27 [20%]). Two Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) models using ResNet-50 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) were developed. The first model detects the teeth to locate the region of interest (ROI), while the second model detects gingival inflammation. The detection accuracy, precision, recall, and mean average precision (mAP) were calculated to verify the significance of the proposed model. The teeth detection model achieved an accuracy, precision, recall, and mAP of 100 %, 100%, 51.85%, and 100%, respectively. The inflammation detection model achieved an accuracy, precision, recall, and mAP of 77.12%, 88.02%, 41.75%, and 68.19%, respectively. This study proved the viability of deep learning models for the detection and diagnosis of gingivitis in intraoral images. Hence, this highlights its potential usability in the field of dentistry and aiding in reducing the severity of periodontal disease globally through preemptive non-invasive diagnosis.

Vehicle detection is essential for driverless systems. However, the current single sensor detection mode is no longer sufficient in complex and changing traffic environments. Therefore, this paper combines camera and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to build a vehicle-detection framework that has the characteristics of multi adaptability, high real-time capacity, and robustness. First, a multi-adaptive high-precision depth-completion method was proposed to convert the 2D LiDAR sparse depth map into a dense depth map, so that the two sensors are aligned with each other at the data level. Then, the You Only Look Once Version 3 (YOLOv3) real-time object detection model was used to detect the color image and the dense depth map. Finally, a decision-level fusion method based on bounding box fusion and improved Dempster–Shafer (D–S) evidence theory was proposed to merge the two results of the previous step and obtain the final vehicle position and distance information, which not only improves the detection accuracy but also improves the robustness of the whole framework. We evaluated our method using the KITTI dataset and the Waymo Open Dataset, and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed depth completion method and multi-sensor fusion strategy.

Abstract. Vehicles usually lack detailed information and are difficult to be trained on the high-resolution remote sensing images because of small size. In addition, vehicles contain multiple fine-grained categories that are slightly different, randomly located and oriented. Therefore, it is difficult to locate and identify these fine categories of vehicles. Considering the above problems in high-resolution remote sensing images, this paper proposes an oriented vehicle detection approach. First of all, we propose an oversampling and stitching method to augment the training dataset by increasing the frequency of objects with fewer training samples in order to balance the number of objects in each fine-grained vehicle category. Then considering the effect of the pooling operations on representing small objects, we propose to improve the resolution of feature maps so that detailed information hidden in feature maps can be enriched and they can better distinguish the fine-grained vehicle categories. Finally, we design a joint training loss function for horizontal and oriented bounding boxes with center loss, to decrease the impact of small between-class diversity on vehicle detection. Experimental verification is performed on the VEDAI dataset consisting of 9 fine-grained vehicle categories so as to evaluate the proposed framework. The experimental results show that the proposed framework performs better than most of competitive approaches in terms of a mean average precision of 60.7% and 60.4% in detecting horizontal and oriented bounding boxes respectively.

A webshell is a malicious backdoor that allows remote access and control to a web server by executing arbitrary commands. The wide use of obfuscation and encryption technologies has greatly increased the difficulty of webshell detection. To this end, we propose a novel webshell detection model leveraging the grammatical features extracted from the PHP code. The key idea is to combine the executable data characteristics of the PHP code with static text features for webshell classification. To verify the proposed model, we construct a cleaned data set of webshell consisting of 2,917 samples from 17 webshell collection projects and conduct extensive experiments. We have designed three sets of controlled experiments, the results of which show that the accuracy of the three algorithms has reached more than 99.40%, the highest reached 99.66%, the recall rate has been increased by at least 1.8%, the most increased by 6.75%, and the F1 value has increased by 2.02% on average. It not only confirms the efficiency of the grammatical features in webshell detection but also shows that our system significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art rivals in terms of detection accuracy and recall rate.

Outlier detection in data mining is an important arena where detection models are developed to discover the objects that do not confirm the expected behavior. The generation of huge data in real time applications makes the outlier detection process into more crucial and challenging. Traditional detection techniques based on mean and covariance are not suitable to handle large amount of data and the results are affected by outliers. So it is essential to develop an efficient outlier detection model to detect outliers in the large dataset. The objective of this research work is to develop an efficient outlier detection model for multivariate data employing the enhanced Hidden Semi-Markov Model (HSMM). It is an extension of conventional Hidden Markov Model (HMM) where the proposed model allows arbitrary time distribution in its states to detect outliers. Experimental results demonstrate the better performance of proposed model in terms of detection accuracy, detection rate. Compared to conventional Hidden Markov Model based outlier detection the detection accuracy of proposed model is obtained as 98.62% which is significantly better for large multivariate datasets.
