Aggression among pigs adversely affects economic returns and animal welfare in intensive pigsties. Recently, some studies have applied information technology to a livestock management system to minimize the damage resulting from such anomalies. Nonetheless, detecting each pig in a crowed pigsty is still challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a new Kinect camera and deep learning-based monitoring system for the detection of the individual pigs. The proposed system is characterized as follows. 1) The background subtraction method and depth-threshold are used to detect only standing-pigs in the Kinect-depth image. 2) The standing-pigs are detected by using YOLO (You Only Look Once) which is the fastest and most accurate model in deep learning algorithms. Our experimental results show that this method is effective for detecting individual pigs in real time in terms of both cost-effectiveness (using a low-cost Kinect depth sensor) and accuracy (average 99.40% detection accuracies).

Algal bloom is an important issue in maintaining the safety of the drinking water supply system. Fast detection and classification of algae images are essential for the management of algal blooms. Conventional visual identification using a microscope is a labor-intensive and time-consuming method that often requires several hours to several days in order to obtain analysis results from field water samples. In recent decades, various deep learning algorithms have been developed and widely used in object detection studies. YOLO is a state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm. In this study the third version of the YOLO algorithm, namely, YOLOv3, was used to develop an algae image detection model. YOLOv3 is one of the most representative one-stage object detection algorithms with faster inference time, which is an important benefit of YOLO. A total of 1,114 algae images for 30 genera collected by microscope were used to develop the YOLOv3 algae image detection model. The algae images were divided into four groups with five, 10, 20, and 30 genera for training and testing the model. The mean average precision (mAP) was 81, 70, 52, and 41 for data sets with five, 10, 20, and 30 genera, respectively. The precision was higher than 0.8 for all four image groups. These results show the practical applicability of the deep learning algorithm, YOLOv3, for algae image detection.

Early detection of fire is an important measure for minimizing the loss of life and property damage. However, fire and smoke need to be simultaneously detected. In this context, numerous studies have been conducted on image-based fire detection. Conventional fire detection methods are compute-intensive and comprise several algorithms for extracting the flame and smoke characteristics. Hence, deep learning algorithms and convolution neural networks can be alternatively employed for fire detection. In this study, recorded image data of fire in a ship engine room were analyzed. The flame and smoke characteristics were extracted from the outer box, and the YOLO (You Only Look Once) convolutional neural network algorithm was subsequently employed for learning and testing. Experimental results were evaluated with respect to three attributes, namely detection rate, error rate, and accuracy. The respective values of detection rate, error rate, and accuracy are found to be 0.994, 0.011, and 0.998 for the flame, 0.978, 0.021, and 0.978 for the smoke, and the calculation time is found to be 0.009 s.

In this paper, we detect and track vehicles by type based on highway daytime driving videos taken with black boxes for vehicles. In addition, we design a real-time MR contents production method that can be newly created by placing substitute videos of each type of detected vehicles in the same location as the new background video. To detect and track vehicles by type, we use the YOLO algorithm. And we also use the mask technique based on RGB color for substitute videos of each type of vehicles detected. The size of the vehicle substitute videos to be used for MR content are substituted by the same size as the area size of the detected vehicles. In this paper, we confirm that real-time MR contents design is possible as a result of experiments and simulations and believe that It will be usefully utilized in the field of VR contents.

AI-based image processing technologies in various fields have been widely studied. However, the lighter the board, the more difficult it is to reduce the weight of image processing algorithm due to a lot of computation. In this paper, we propose a method using deep learning for object recognition algorithm in lightweight embedded boards. We can determine the area using a deep neural network architecture algorithm that processes semantic segmentation with a relatively small amount of computation. After masking the area, by using more accurate deep learning algorithm we could operate object detection with improved accuracy for efficient neural network (ENet) and You Only Look Once (YOLO) toward executing object recognition in real time for lightweighted embedded boards. This research is expected to be used for autonomous driving applications, which have to be much lighter and cheaper than the existing approaches used for object recognition.

Black ice, which occurs mainly on the road, vehicle traffic bridges and tunnel entrances due to the sub-zero temperature due to the slip of the road due to heavy snow, is not recognized because the image of asphalt is transmitted in the driver's view, so the vehicle loses braking power because it causes serious loss of life and property. In this paper, we propose a method to identify the black ice by using infrared camera and to identify the road condition by using deep learning to compensate for the disadvantages of existing black ice detection methods (artificial satellite imaging, checking the pattern of slip by ultrasonic reception, measuring the temperature of the road surface, and checking the difference in friction force of the tire during vehicle driving) and to reduce the size of the sensor to detect black ice.

Recently, the forests in Korea have accumulated damage due to continuous forest disasters, and the need for technologies to monitor forest managements is being issued. The size of the affected area is large terrain, technologies using drones, artificial intelligence, and big data are being studied. In this study, a standard dataset were conducted to develop an algorithm that automatically detects suspicious trees damaged by forest pests using deep learning and drones. Experiments using the YOLO model among object detection algorithm models, the YOLOv4-P7 model showed the highest recall rate of 69.69% and precision of 69.15%. It was confirmed that YOLOv4-P7 should be used as an automatic detection algorithm model for trees suspected of being damaged by forest pests, considering the detection target is an ortho-image with a large image size.

The construction is the industry with the highest fatalities, and the fatalities has not decreased despite various institutional improvements. Accordingly, real-time safety management by applying artificial intelligence (AI) to CCTV images is emerging. Although some research on worker detection by applying AI to images of construction sites is being conducted, there are limitations in performance expression due to problems such as complex background due to the nature of the construction industry. In this study, the YOLO model and the OpenPose model were fused to improve the performance of worker detection and posture estimation to improve the detection performance of workers in various complex conditions. This is expected to be highly useful in terms of unsafe behavior and health management of workers in the future.

Due to the spread of high-definition black boxes and the introduction of mobile applications such as 'Smart Citizens Report' and 'Safety Report', the number of public interest reports for violations of Traffic Law has increased rapidly, resulting in shortage of police personnel to handle them. In this paper, we describe the development of a system that can automatically detect lane violations which account for the largest proportion of public interest reporting videos for violations of traffic laws, using deep learning algorithms. In this study, a method for recognizing a vehicle and a solid line object using a YOLO model and a Lanenet model, a method for tracking an object individually using a deep sort algorithm, and a method for detecting lane change violations by recognizing the overlapping range of a vehicle object's bounding box and a solid line object are described. Using this system, it is expected that the shortage of police personnel in charge will be resolved.

The incidence of traffic accidents is increasing every year, and Korea is among the top OECD countries. In order to improve this, various road traffic laws are being implemented, and various traffic control methods using equipment such as unmanned speed cameras and traffic control cameras are being applied. However, as drivers avoid crackdowns by detecting the location of traffic control cameras in advance through navigation, a mobile crackdown system that can be cracked down is needed, and research is needed to increase the recognition rate of vehicle license plates on the side of the road for accurate crackdown. This paper proposes a method to improve the vehicle number recognition rate on the road side by applying a gradient correction algorithm using image processing. In addition, custom data learning was conducted using a CNN-based YOLO algorithm to improve character recognition accuracy. It is expected that the algorithm can be used for mobile traffic control cameras without restrictions on the installation location.
