In the public healthcare, a computational system that can automatically and efficiently detect and classify falls from a video sequence has significant potential. With the advancement of deep learning, which can extract temporal and spatial information, has become more widespread. However, traditional 3D CNNs that usually adopt shallow networks cannot obtain higher recognition accuracy than deeper networks. Additionally, some experiences of neural network show that the problem of gradient explosions occurs with increasing the network layers. As a result, an enhanced three-dimensional ResNet-based method for fall detection (3D-ERes-FD) is proposed to directly extract spatio-temporal features to address these issues. In our method, a 50-layer 3D residual network is used to deepen the network for improving fall recognition accuracy. Furthermore, enhanced residual units with four convolutional layers are developed to efficiently reduce the number of parameters and increase the depth of the network. According to the experimental results, the proposed method outperformed several state-of-the-art methods.

The optimized design of airfoils is essential to increase the performance and efficiency of wind turbines. The aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils near the stall show large deviation from experiments and numerical simulations. Hence, it is needed to perform repetitive analysis of various shapes near the stall. To overcome this, the artificial intelligence is used and combined with numerical simulations. In this study, three types of airfoils are chosen, which are S809, S822 and SD7062 used in wind turbines. A convolutional neural network model is proposed in the combination of VGG16 and U-Net. Learning data are constructed by extracting pressure fields and aerodynamic characteristics through numerical analysis of 2D shape. Based on these data, the pressure field and lift coefficient of untrained airfoils are predicted. As a result, even in untrained airfoils, the pressure field is accurately predicted with an error of within 0.04%.

Recent years with the development of artificial intelligence and the success of the deep model, they have been deployed in all fields of computer vision. Action recognition, as an important branch of human perception and computer vision system research, has attracted more and more attention. Action recognition is a challenging task due to the special complexity of human movement, the same movement may exist between multiple individuals. The human action exists as a continuous image frame in the video, so action recognition requires more computational power than processing static images. And the simple use of the CNN network cannot achieve the desired results. Recently, the attention model has achieved good results in computer vision and natural language processing. In particular, for video action classification, after adding the attention model, it is more effective to focus on motion features and improve performance. It intuitively explains which part the model attends to when making a particular decision, which is very helpful in real applications. In this paper, we proposed a 3D dense convolutional network based on attention mechanism(ADD-Net), recognition of human motion behavior in the video.

Technologies of the 4th industrial revolution have been unknowingly seeping into our lives. Many IoT based home security systems are using the convolutional neural network(CNN) as good biometrics to recognize a face and protect home and family from intruders since CNN has demonstrated its excellent ability in image recognition. In this paper, three layouts of CNN for 2D and 2.5D image of small dataset with various input image size and filter size are explored. The simulation results show that the layout of CNN with 50*50 input size of 2.5D image, 2 convolution and max pooling layer, and 3*3 filter size for small dataset of 2.5D image is optimal for a home security system with recognition accuracy of 0.966. In addition, the longest CPU time consumption for one input image is 0.057S. The proposed layout of CNN for a face recognition is suitable to control the actuators in the home security system because a home security system requires good face recognition and short recognition time.

Windows are key components of building facades. Detecting windows, crucial to 3D semantic reconstruction and scene parsing, is a challenging task in computer vision. Early methods try to solve window detection by using hand-crafted features and traditional classifiers. However, these methods are unable to handle the diversity of window instances in real scenes and suffer from heavy computational costs. Recently, convolutional neural networks based object detection algorithms attract much attention due to their good performances. Unfortunately, directly training them for challenging window detection cannot achieve satisfying results. In this paper, we propose an approach for window detection. It involves an improved Faster R-CNN architecture for window detection, featuring in a window region proposal network, an RoI feature fusion and a context enhancement module. Besides, a post optimization process is designed by the regular distribution of windows to refine detection results obtained by the improved deep architecture. Furthermore, we present a newly collected dataset which is the largest one for window detection in real street scenes to date. Experimental results on both existing datasets and the new dataset show that the proposed method has outstanding performance.

As urban population increases, research on urban environmental noise is getting more attention. In this study, we classify the abnormal noise occurring in traffic situation by using a deep learning algorithm which shows high performance in recent environmental noise classification studies. Specifically, we classify the four classes of tire skidding sounds, car crash sounds, car horn sounds, and normal sounds using convolutional neural networks. In addition, we add three environmental noises, including rain, wind and crowd noises, to our training data so that the classification model is more robust in real traffic situation with environmental noises. Experimental results show that the proposed traffic sound classification model achieves better performance than the existing algorithms, particularly under harsh conditions with environmental noises.

Document image binarization is an important pre-processing step in document analysis and archiving. The state-of-the-art models for document image binarization are variants of encoder-decoder architectures, such as FCN (fully convolutional network) and U-Net. Despite their success, they still suffer from three limitations: (1) reduced feature map resolution due to consecutive strided pooling or convolutions, (2) multiple scales of target objects, and (3) reduced localization accuracy due to the built-in invariance of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). To overcome these three challenges, we propose an improved semantic segmentation model, referred to as DP-LinkNet, which adopts the D-LinkNet architecture as its backbone, with the proposed hybrid dilated convolution (HDC) and spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) modules between the encoder and the decoder. Extensive experiments are conducted on recent document image binarization competition (DIBCO) and handwritten document image binarization competition (H-DIBCO) benchmark datasets. Results show that our proposed DP-LinkNet outperforms other state-of-the-art techniques by a large margin. Our implementation and the pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/beargolden/DP-LinkNet.

In autonomous driving cars, 3D pose estimation can be one of the effective methods to enhance safety control for OOP (Out of Position) passengers. There have been many studies on human pose estimation using a camera. Previous methods, however, have limitations in automotive applications. Due to unexplainable failures, CNN methods are unreliable, and other methods perform poorly. This paper proposes robust real-time multi-human 3D pose estimation architecture in vehicle using monocular RGB camera. Using particle filter, our approach integrates CNN 2D/3D pose measurements with available information in vehicle. Computer simulations were performed to confirm the accuracy and robustness of the proposed algorithm.

The most natural way to increase immersion and provide free interaction in a virtual environment is to provide a gesture interface using the user's hand. However, most studies about hand gesture recognition require specialized sensors or equipment, or show low recognition rates. This paper proposes a three-dimensional DenseNet Convolutional Neural Network that enables recognition of hand gestures with no sensors or equipment other than an RGB camera for hand gesture input and introduces a virtual reality game based on it. Experimental results on 4 static hand gestures and 6 dynamic hand gestures showed that they could be used as real-time user interfaces for virtual reality games with an average recognition rate of 94.2% at 50ms. Results of this research can be used as a hand gesture interface not only for games but also for education, medicine, and shopping.

Motion blur in PET (Positron emission tomography) images induced by respiratory motion will reduce the quality of imaging. Although exiting methods have positive performance for respiratory motion correction in medical practice, there are still many aspects that can be improved. In this paper, an improved 3D unsupervised framework, Res-Voxel based on U-Net network was proposed for the motion correction. The Res-Voxel with multiple residual structure may improve the ability of predicting deformation field, and use a smaller convolution kernel to reduce the parameters of the model and decrease the amount of computation required. The proposed is tested on the simulated PET imaging data and the clinical data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed achieved Dice indices 93.81%, 81.75% and 75.10% on the simulated geometric phantom data, voxel phantom data and the clinical data respectively. It is demonstrated that the proposed method can improve the registration and correction performance of PET image.
