Construction sites are dangerous due to the complex interaction of workers with equipment, building materials, vehicles, etc. As a kind of protective gear, hardhats are crucial for the safety of people on construction sites. Therefore, it is necessary for administrators to identify the people that do not wear hardhats and send out alarms to them. As manual inspection is labor-intensive and expensive, it is ideal to handle this issue by a real-time automatic detector. As such, in this paper, we present an end-to-end convolutional neural network to solve the problem of detecting if workers are wearing hardhats. The proposed method focuses on localizing a person’s head and deciding whether they are wearing a hardhat. The MobileNet model is employed as the backbone network, which allows the detector to run in real time. A top-down module is leveraged to enhance the feature-extraction process. Finally, heads with and without hardhats are detected on multi-scale features using a residual-block-based prediction module. Experimental results on a dataset that we have established show that the proposed method could produce an average precision of 87.4%/89.4% at 62 frames per second for detecting people without/with a hardhat worn on the head.

The management of the attendance can be an incredible weight on the instructors in the event that it is completed in registers. Determining this issue, keen and automatic attendance marking system by using the executive’s framework is being used. In any case, verification is a significant problem in this framework. Brilliant attendance framework is implemented commonly along with the assistance of soft biometrics. Acknowledgment of face is one of the updated biometric techniques this framework got to be enhanced. Being a principle element of biometric confirmation, facial acknowledgment feature has become most utilized enormously in a few such applications, similar to video observing and surveillance-based CCTV film framework, a connection between PC and people and admittance frameworks existing inside and in network security. By using this structure, the issue present in along with intermediaries, understudies also have been checking on the present despite the fact that they are not physically present can without much of a stretch be illuminated. The primary usage steps utilized regarding this sort of framework are facial discovery and perceiving the distinguished the different face of the people. This term paper recommends a perfect model for actualizing a computerized attendance the board framework in order to make understudies for a class by utilizing the procedure of acknowledgment-based face detection procedure, by means of utilizing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Max pooling

Urbanization is a big concern for both developed and developing countries in recent years. People shift themselves and their families to urban areas for the sake of better education and a modern lifestyle. Due to rapid urbanization, cities are facing huge challenges, one of which is waste management, as the volume of waste is directly proportional to the people living in the city. The municipalities and the city administrations use the traditional wastage classification techniques which are manual, very slow, inefficient and costly. Therefore, automatic waste classification and management is essential for the cities that are being urbanized for the better recycling of waste. Better recycling of waste gives the opportunity to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills by reducing the need to collect new raw material. In this paper, the idea of a real-time smart waste classification model is presented that uses a hybrid approach to classify waste into various classes. Two machine learning models, a multilayer perceptron and multilayer convolutional neural network (ML-CNN), are implemented. The multilayer perceptron is used to provide binary classification, i.e., metal or non-metal waste, and the CNN identifies the class of non-metal waste. A camera is placed in front of the waste conveyor belt, which takes a picture of the waste and classifies it. Upon successful classification, an automatic hand hammer is used to push the waste into the assigned labeled bucket. Experiments were carried out in a real-time environment with image segmentation. The training, testing, and validation accuracy of the purposed model was 0.99% under different training batches with different input features.
