The detection of objects concealed under people’s clothing is a very challenging task, which has crucial applications for security. When testing the human body for metal contraband, the concealed targets are usually small in size and are required to be detected within a few seconds. Focusing on weapon detection, this paper proposes using a real-time detection method for detecting concealed metallic weapons on the human body applied to passive millimeter wave (PMMW) imagery based on the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm, YOLOv3, and a small sample dataset. The experimental results from YOLOv3-13, YOLOv3-53, and Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) algorithm, SSD-VGG16, are compared ultimately, using the same PMMW dataset. For the perspective of detection accuracy, detection speed, and computation resource, it shows that the YOLOv3-53 model had a detection speed of 36 frames per second (FPS) and a mean average precision (mAP) of 95% on a GPU-1080Ti computer, more effective and feasible for the real-time detection of weapon contraband on human body for PMMW images, even with small sample data.

With the rapid development of the marine industry, intelligent ship detection plays a very important role in the marine traffic safety and the port management. Current detection methods mainly focus on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, which is of great significance to the field of ship detection. However, these methods sometimes cannot meet the real-time requirement. To solve the problems, a novel ship detection network based on SSD (Single Shot Detector), named NSD-SSD, is proposed in this paper. Nowadays, the surveillance system is widely used in the indoor and outdoor environment, and its combination with deep learning greatly promotes the development of intelligent object detection and recognition. The NSD-SSD uses visual images captured by surveillance cameras to achieve real-time detection and further improves detection performance. First, dilated convolution and multiscale feature fusion are combined to improve the small objects’ performance and detection accuracy. Second, an improved prediction module is introduced to enhance deeper feature extraction ability of the model, and the mean Average Precision (mAP) and recall are significant improved. Finally, the prior boxes are reconstructed by using the K-means clustering algorithm, the Intersection-over-Union (IoU) is higher, and the visual effect is better. The experimental results based on ship images show that the mAP and recall can reach 89.3% and 93.6%, respectively, which outperforms the representative model (Faster R-CNN, SSD, and YOLOv3). Moreover, our model’s FPS is 45, which can meet real-time detection acquirement well. Hence, the proposed method has the better overall performance and achieves higher detection efficiency and better robustness.

YTNR (Yunnan Tongbiguan Nature Reserve) is located in the westernmost part of China’s tropical regions and is the only area in China with the tropical biota of the Irrawaddy River system. The reserve has abundant tropical flora and fauna resources. In order to realize the real-time detection of wild animals in this area, this paper proposes an improved YOLO (You only look once) network. The original YOLO model can achieve higher detection accuracy, but due to the complex model structure, it cannot achieve a faster detection speed on the CPU detection platform. Therefore, the lightweight network MobileNet is introduced to replace the backbone feature extraction network in YOLO, which realizes real-time detection on the CPU platform. In response to the difficulty in collecting wild animal image data, the research team deployed 50 high-definition cameras in the study area and conducted continuous observations for more than 1,000 hours. In the end, this research uses 1410 images of wildlife collected in the field and 1577 wildlife images from the internet to construct a research data set combined with the manual annotation of domain experts. At the same time, transfer learning is introduced to solve the problem of insufficient training data and the network is difficult to fit. The experimental results show that our model trained on a training set containing 2419 animal images has a mean average precision of 93.6% and an FPS (Frame Per Second) of 3.8 under the CPU. Compared with YOLO, the mean average precision is increased by 7.7%, and the FPS value is increased by 3.

In power inspection tasks, the insulator and spacer are important inspection objects. UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) power inspection is becoming more and more popular. However, due to the limited computing resources carried by a UAV, a lighter model with small model size, high detection accuracy, and fast detection speed is needed to achieve online detection. In order to realize the online detection of power inspection objects, we propose an improved SSD (single shot multibox detector) insulator and spacer detection algorithm using the power inspection images collected by a UAV. In the proposed algorithm, the lightweight network MnasNet is used as the feature extraction network to generate feature maps. Then, two multiscale feature fusion methods are used to fuse multiple feature maps. Lastly, a power inspection object dataset containing insulators and spacers based on aerial images is built, and the performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on real aerial images and videos. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently detect insulators and spacers. Compared with existing algorithms, the proposed algorithm has the advantages of small model size and fast detection speed. The detection accuracy can achieve 93.8%. The detection time of a single image on TX2 (NVIDIA Jetson TX2) is 154 ms and the capture rate on TX2 is 8.27 fps, which allows realizing online detection.

Aiming at the anomaly detection problem in sensor data, traditional algorithms usually only focus on the continuity of single-source data and ignore the spatiotemporal correlation between multisource data, which reduces detection accuracy to a certain extent. Besides, due to the rapid growth of sensor data, centralized cloud computing platforms cannot meet the real-time detection needs of large-scale abnormal data. In order to solve this problem, a real-time detection method for abnormal data of IoT sensors based on edge computing is proposed. Firstly, sensor data is represented as time series; K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm is further used to detect outliers and isolated groups of the data stream in time series. Secondly, an improved DBSCAN (Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm is proposed by considering spatiotemporal correlation between multisource data. It can be set according to sample characteristics in the window and overcomes the slow convergence problem using global parameters and large samples, then makes full use of data correlation to complete anomaly detection. Moreover, this paper proposes a distributed anomaly detection model for sensor data based on edge computing. It performs data processing on computing resources close to the data source as much as possible, which improves the overall efficiency of data processing. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed method has higher computational efficiency and detection accuracy than traditional methods and has certain feasibility.

The rapid and accurate identification of sugarcane stem nodes in the complex natural environment is essential for the development of intelligent sugarcane harvesters. However, traditional sugarcane stem node recognition has been mainly based on image processing and recognition technology, where the recognition accuracy is low in a complex natural environment. In this paper, an object detection algorithm based on deep learning was proposed for sugarcane stem node recognition in a complex natural environment, and the robustness and generalisation ability of the algorithm were improved by the dataset expansion method to simulate different illumination conditions. The impact of the data expansion and lighting condition in different time periods on the results of sugarcane stem nodes detection was discussed, and the superiority of YOLO v4, which performed best in the experiment, was verified by comparing it with four different deep learning algorithms, namely Faster R-CNN, SSD300, RetinaNet and YOLO v3. The comparison results showed that the AP (average precision) of the sugarcane stem nodes detected by YOLO v4 was 95.17%, which was higher than that of the other four algorithms (78.87%, 88.98%, 90.88% and 92.69%, respectively). Meanwhile, the detection speed of the YOLO v4 method was 69 f/s and exceeded the requirement of a real-time detection speed of 30 f/s. The research shows that it is a feasible method for real-time detection of sugarcane stem nodes in a complex natural environment. This research provides visual technical support for the development of intelligent sugarcane harvesters.

Sar Imagery

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery has been used as a promising data source for monitoring maritime activities, and its application for oil and ship detection has been the focus of many previous research studies. Many object detection methods ranging from traditional to deep learning approaches have been proposed. However, majority of them are computationally intensive and have accuracy problems. The huge volume of the remote sensing data also brings a challenge for real time object detection. To mitigate this problem a high performance computing (HPC) method has been proposed to accelerate SAR imagery analysis, utilizing the GPU based computing methods. In this paper, we propose an enhanced GPU based deep learning method to detect ship from the SAR images. The You Only Look Once version 2 (YOLOv2) deep learning framework is proposed to model the architecture and training the model. YOLOv2 is a state-of-the-art real-time object detection system, which outperforms Faster Region-Based Convolutional Network (Faster R-CNN) and Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) methods. Additionally, in order to reduce computational time with relatively competitive detection accuracy, we develop a new architecture with less number of layers called YOLOv2-reduced. In the experiment, we use two types of datasets: A SAR ship detection dataset (SSDD) dataset and a Diversified SAR Ship Detection Dataset (DSSDD). These two datasets were used for training and testing purposes. YOLOv2 test results showed an increase in accuracy of ship detection as well as a noticeable reduction in computational time compared to Faster R-CNN. From the experimental results, the proposed YOLOv2 architecture achieves an accuracy of 90.05% and 89.13% on the SSDD and DSSDD datasets respectively. The proposed YOLOv2-reduced architecture has a similarly competent detection performance as YOLOv2, but with less computational time on a NVIDIA TITAN X GPU. The experimental results shows that the deep learning can make a big leap forward in improving the performance of SAR image ship detection.

Abstract Background: The correct identification of pills is very important to ensure the safe administration of drugs to patients. We used three currently mainstream object detection models, respectively Faster R-CNN, Single Shot Multi-Box Detector (SSD), and You Only Look Once v3(YOLO v3), to identify pills and compare the associated performance.Methods: In this paper, we introduce the basic principles of three object detection models. We trained each algorithm on a pill image dataset and analyzed the performance of the three models to determine the best pill recognition model. Finally, these models are then used to detect difficult samples and compare the results.Results: The mean average precision (MAP) of Faster R-CNN reached 87.69% but YOLO v3 had a significant advantage in detection speed where the frames per second (FPS) was more than eight times than that of Faster R-CNN. This means that YOLO v3 can operate in real time with a high MAP of 80.17%. The YOLO v3 algorithm also performed better in the comparison of difficult sample detection results. In contrast, SSD did not achieve the highest score in terms of MAP or FPS.Conclusion: Our study shows that YOLO v3 has advantages in detection speed while maintaining certain MAP and thus can be applied for real-time pill identification in a hospital pharmacy environment.
