Object detection techniques are increasingly used to obtain information on physical characteristics or situations of a specific area from remote images. The accuracy of object detection is decreased in remote sensing images with low resolution because the low resolution reduces the amount of detail that can be captured in an image. A single neural network is proposed to joint the super-resolution method and object detection method. The proposed method constructs a deep residual-based network to restore object features in low-resolution images. Moreover, the proposed method is used to improve the performance of object detection by jointing a single network with YOLOv5. The proposed method is experimentally tested using VEDAI data for low-resolution images. The results show that vehicle detection performance improved by 81.38% on mAP@0.5 for VISIBLE data.

This paper proposes a method for detecting smoking behavior in images using artificial intelligence technology. Since smoking is not a static phenomenon but an action, the object detection technology was combined with the posture estimation technology that can detect the action. A smoker detection learning model was developed to detect smokers in images, and the characteristics of smoking behaviors were applied to posture estimation technology to detect smoking behaviors in images. YOLOv8 was used for object detection, and OpenPose was used for posture estimation. In addition, when smokers and non-smokers are included in the image, a method of separating only people was applied. The proposed method was implemented using Google Colab NVIDEA Tesla T4 GPU in Python, and it was found that the smoking behavior was perfectly detected in the given video as a result of the test.

This study explored the use of artificial intelligence(AI) to detect foreign bodies in chest X-ray images. Medical imaging, especially chest X-rays, plays a crucial role in diagnosing diseases such as pneumonia and lung cancer. With the increase in imaging tests, AI has become an important tool for efficient and fast diagnosis. However, images can contain foreign objects, including everyday jewelry like buttons and bra wires, which can interfere with accurate readings. In this study, we developed an AI algorithm that accurately identifies these foreign objects and processed the National Institutes of Health chest X-ray dataset based on the YOLOv8 model. The results showed high detection performance with accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score all close to 0.91. Despite the excellent performance of AI, the study solved the problem that foreign objects in the image can distort the reading results, emphasizing the innovative role of AI in radiology and its reliability based on accuracy, which is essential for clinical implementation.

Recently, a self-driving car have applied deep learning technology to advanced driver assistance system can provide convenience to drivers, but it is shown deep that learning technology is vulnerable to adversarial evasion attacks. In this paper, we performed five adversarial evasion attacks, including MI-FGSM(Momentum Iterative-Fast Gradient Sign Method), targeting the object detection algorithm YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once), and measured the object detection performance in terms of mAP(mean Average Precision). In particular, we present a method applying morphology operations for YOLO to detect objects normally by removing noise and extracting boundary. As a result of analyzing its performance through experiments, when an adversarial attack was performed, YOLO's mAP dropped by at least 7.9%. The YOLO applied our proposed method can detect objects up to 87.3% of mAP performance.

Purpose: We would like to confirm that the false positive rate of flames/smoke is high when detecting fires. Propose a method and dataset to recognize and classify fire situations to reduce the false detection rate. Method: Using the video as learning data, the characteristics of the fire situation were extracted and applied to the classification model. For evaluation, the model performance of Yolov8 and Slowfast were compared and analyzed using the fire dataset conducted by the National Information Society Agency (NIA). Result: YOLO's detection performance varies sensitively depending on the influence of the background, and it was unable to properly detect fires even when the fire scale was too large or too small. Since SlowFast learns the time axis of the video, we confirmed that detects fire excellently even in situations where the shape of an atypical object cannot be clearly inferred because the surrounding area is blurry or bright. Conclusion: It was confirmed that the fire detection rate was more appropriate when using a video-based artificial intelligence detection model rather than using image data.

This paper is an experimental study on the improvement of smoke and flame detection from different materials with YOLO. For the study, images of fires occurring in various materials were collected through an open dataset, and experiments were conducted by changing the main factors affecting the performance of the fire object detection model, such as the bounding box, polygon, and data augmentation of the collected image open dataset during data preprocessing. To evaluate the model performance, we calculated the values of precision, recall, F1Score, mAP, and FPS for each condition, and compared the performance of each model based on these values. We also analyzed the changes in model performance due to the data preprocessing method to derive the conditions that have the greatest impact on improving the performance of the fire object detection model. The experimental results showed that for the fire object detection model using the YOLOv5s6.0 model, data augmentation that can change the color of the flame, such as saturation, brightness, and exposure, is most effective in improving the performance of the fire object detection model. The real-time fire object detection model developed in this study can be applied to equipment such as existing CCTV, and it is believed that it can contribute to minimizing fire damage by enabling early detection of fires occurring in various materials.

This paper presents an unmanned store management system that can provide inventory management and theft prevention for displayed products using a small camera that can monitor the shelves of sold products in small and medium-sized stores. This system is a service solution that integrates object recognition, real-time communication, security management, access management, and mobile authentication. The proposed system uses a custom YOLOv5-x model to recognize objects on the display, measure quantities in real time, and support real-time data communication with servers through Raspberry Pie. In addition, the number of objects in the database and the object recognition results are compared to detect suspected theft situations and provide burial images at the time of theft. The proposed unmanned store solution is expected to improve the efficiency of small and medium-sized unmanned store operations and contribute to responding to theft.

While artificial neural networks are adept at identifying patterns, they can struggle to distinguish between actual correlations and false associations between extracted facial features and criminal behavior within the training data. These associations may not indicate causal connections. Socioeconomic factors, ethnicity, or even chance occurrences in the data can influence both facial features and criminal activity. Consequently, the artificial neural network might identify linked features without understanding the underlying cause. This raises concerns about incorrect linkages and potential misclassification of individuals based on features unrelated to criminal tendencies. To address this challenge, we propose a novel region-based training approach for artificial neural networks focused on criminal propensity detection. Instead of solely relying on overall facial recognition, the network would systematically analyze each facial feature in isolation. This fine-grained approach would enable the network to identify which specific features hold the strongest correlations with criminal activity within the training data. By focusing on these key features, the network can be optimized for more accurate and reliable criminal propensity prediction. This study examines the effectiveness of various algorithms for criminal propensity classification. We evaluate YOLO versions YOLOv5 and YOLOv8 alongside VGG-16. Our findings indicate that YOLO achieved the highest accuracy 0.93 in classifying criminal and non-criminal facial features. While these results are promising, we acknowledge the need for further research on bias and misclassification in criminal justice applications

Marine debris entering through rivers negatively impacts the environment and poses a direct threat to human health. While barriers to prevent the outflow of floating debris are being installed, attention to their maintenance, especially the scheduling of garbage collection, is insufficient. Currently, maintenance relies on a sequential collection method based on the experience and know-how of field workers, with little systematic research to support it. In response, this study proposes a new feedback-based collection method based on YOLOv7, Monte Carlo simulation for trash collection analysis. The proposed method conducts collection based on the amount of trash detected by remote sensors such as CCTV, and the expected costs are statistically and economically compared using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). The results showed that the new collection strategy offers a cost advantage of about 63 % over the existing strategy.

This paper proposes a method for acquiring and analyzing ocular data using a special-purpose diver mask targeted at divers who primarily engage in underwater activities. This involves tracking the user's gaze with the help of a custom-built ocular dataset and a YOLOv8-nano model developed for this purpose. The model achieved an average processing time of 45.52ms per frame and successfully recognized states of eyes being open or closed with 99% accuracy. Based on the analysis of the ocular data, a gaze tracking algorithm was developed that can map to real-world coordinates. The validation of this algorithm showed an average error rate of about 1% on the x-axis and about 6% on the y-axis.
