    A Real-Time Localization Algorithm for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Based on Continuous Images Processing

    Peng Geng1,*, Annan Yang2, Yan Liu3

    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.6, pp. 43-52, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jai.2024.047642

    Abstract This article presents a real-time localization method for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) based on continuous image processing. The proposed method employs the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm to identify key points in multi-scale space and generate descriptor vectors to match identical objects across multiple images. These corresponding points in the image provide pixel positions, which can be combined with transformation equations, allow for the calculation of the UAV’s actual ground position. Additionally, the physical coordinates of matching points in the image can be obtained, corresponding to the UAV’s physical coordinates. The method achieves real-time positioning and tracking during UAV… More >

    Bijon Mallik1, Md Abdur Rahim1, Abu Saleh Musa Miah2, Keun Soo Yun3,*, Jungpil Shin2

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.48, No.2, pp. 555-570, 2024, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.045981

    Abstract In the digital age, non-touch communication technologies are reshaping human-device interactions and raising security concerns. A major challenge in current technology is the misinterpretation of gestures by sensors and cameras, often caused by environmental factors. This issue has spurred the need for advanced data processing methods to achieve more accurate gesture recognition and predictions. Our study presents a novel virtual keyboard allowing character input via distinct hand gestures, focusing on two key aspects: hand gesture recognition and character input mechanisms. We developed a novel model with LSTM and fully connected layers for enhanced sequential data processing and hand gesture recognition.… More >

    Real-Time Spammers Detection Based on Metadata Features with Machine Learning

    Adnan Ali1, Jinlong Li1, Huanhuan Chen1, Uzair Aslam Bhatti2, Asad Khan3,*

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.38, No.3, pp. 241-258, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.041645

    Abstract Spammer detection is to identify and block malicious activities performing users. Such users should be identified and terminated from social media to keep the social media process organic and to maintain the integrity of online social spaces. Previous research aimed to find spammers based on hybrid approaches of graph mining, posted content, and metadata, using small and manually labeled datasets. However, such hybrid approaches are unscalable, not robust, particular dataset dependent, and require numerous parameters, complex graphs, and natural language processing (NLP) resources to make decisions, which makes spammer detection impractical for real-time detection. For example, graph mining requires neighbors’… More >

    Real-Time Detection and Instance Segmentation of Strawberry in Unstructured Environment

    Chengjun Wang1,2, Fan Ding2,*, Yiwen Wang1, Renyuan Wu1, Xingyu Yao2, Chengjie Jiang1, Liuyi Ling1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 1481-1501, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.046876

    Abstract The real-time detection and instance segmentation of strawberries constitute fundamental components in the development of strawberry harvesting robots. Real-time identification of strawberries in an unstructured environment is a challenging task. Current instance segmentation algorithms for strawberries suffer from issues such as poor real-time performance and low accuracy. To this end, the present study proposes an Efficient YOLACT (E-YOLACT) algorithm for strawberry detection and segmentation based on the YOLACT framework. The key enhancements of the E-YOLACT encompass the development of a lightweight attention mechanism, pyramid squeeze shuffle attention (PSSA), for efficient feature extraction. Additionally, an attention-guided context-feature pyramid network (AC-FPN) is… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.1, pp. 303-327, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.046068

    Abstract To address the challenges of high complexity, poor real-time performance, and low detection rates for small target vehicles in existing vehicle object detection algorithms, this paper proposes a real-time lightweight architecture based on You Only Look Once (YOLO) v5m. Firstly, a lightweight upsampling operator called Content-Aware Reassembly of Features (CARAFE) is introduced in the feature fusion layer of the network to maximize the extraction of deep-level features for small target vehicles, reducing the missed detection rate and false detection rate. Secondly, a new prediction layer for tiny targets is added, and the feature fusion network is redesigned to enhance the… More >

    Fast and Accurate Predictor-Corrector Methods Using Feedback-Accelerated Picard Iteration for Strongly Nonlinear Problems

    Xuechuan Wang1, Wei He1,*, Haoyang Feng1, Satya N. Atluri2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.2, pp. 1263-1294, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.043068

    Abstract Although predictor-corrector methods have been extensively applied, they might not meet the requirements of practical applications and engineering tasks, particularly when high accuracy and efficiency are necessary. A novel class of correctors based on feedback-accelerated Picard iteration (FAPI) is proposed to further enhance computational performance. With optimal feedback terms that do not require inversion of matrices, significantly faster convergence speed and higher numerical accuracy are achieved by these correctors compared with their counterparts; however, the computational complexities are comparably low. These advantages enable nonlinear engineering problems to be solved quickly and accurately, even with rough initial guesses from elementary predictors.… More > Graphic Abstract

    Models to Simulate Effective Coverage of Fire Station Based on Real-Time Travel Times

    Sicheng Zhu, Dingli Liu*, Weijun Liu, Ying Li, Tian Zhou

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 483-513, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.044809

    Abstract In recent years, frequent fire disasters have led to enormous damage in China. Effective firefighting rescues can minimize the losses caused by fires. During the rescue processes, the travel time of fire trucks can be severely affected by traffic conditions, changing the effective coverage of fire stations. However, it is still challenging to determine the effective coverage of fire stations considering dynamic traffic conditions. This paper addresses this issue by combining the traveling time calculation model with the effective coverage simulation model. In addition, it proposes a new index of total effective coverage area (TECA) based on the time-weighted average… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 3551-3572, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.044967

    Abstract Autonomous driving technology has made a lot of outstanding achievements with deep learning, and the vehicle detection and classification algorithm has become one of the critical technologies of autonomous driving systems. The vehicle instance segmentation can perform instance-level semantic parsing of vehicle information, which is more accurate and reliable than object detection.

    Chao Dong, Xiangkui Jiang*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 3015-3036, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.044735

    Abstract To address the issue of imbalanced detection performance and detection speed in current mainstream object detection algorithms for optical remote sensing images, this paper proposes a multi-scale object detection model for remote sensing images on complex backgrounds, called DI-YOLO, based on You Only Look Once v7-tiny (YOLOv7-tiny). Firstly, to enhance the model’s ability to capture irregular-shaped objects and deformation features, as well as to extract high-level semantic information, deformable convolutions are used to replace standard convolutions in the original model. Secondly, a Content Coordination Attention Feature Pyramid Network (CCA-FPN) structure is designed to replace the Neck part of the original… More >
