Conventional Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) algorithms have limitations in detecting small objects in large image. In this paper, we propose an improved model which is based on Region Of Interest(ROI) selection and image dividing technique. We prepared YOLOv3 / Faster R-CNN algorithms which are transfer-learned by airfield and aircraft datasets. Also we prepared large images for testing. In order to verify our model, we selected airfield area from large image as ROI first and divided it in two power n orders. Then we compared the aircraft detection rates by number of divisions. We could get the best size of divided image pieces for efficient small object detection derived from the comparison of aircraft detection rates. As a result, we could verify that the improved CNN algorithm can detect small object in large images.

In surgery to remove pancreatic cancer, it is important to figure out the shape of a patient's pancreas. However, previous studies have a limit to detect a pancreas automatically in abdominal CT images, because the pancreas varies in shape, size and location by patient. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method of learning various shapes of pancreas according to the patients and adjacent slices using Faster R-CNN based on Inception V2, and automatically detecting the pancreas from abdominal CT images. Model training and testing were performed using the NIH Pancreas-CT Dataset, and intensity normalization was applied to all data to improve pancreatic detection accuracy. Additionally, according to the shape of the pancreas, the test dataset was classified into top, middle, and bottom slices to evaluate the model's performance on each data. The results show that the top data's mAP@.50IoU achieved 91.7% and the bottom data's mAP@.50IoU achieved 95.4%, and the highest performance was the middle data's mAP@.50IoU, 98.5%. Thus, we have confirmed that the model can accurately detect the pancreas in CT images.

Due to the large differences in human activity within classes, the large similarity between classes, and the problems of visual angle and occlusion, it is difficult to extract features manually, and the detection rate of human behavior is low. In order to better solve these problems, an improved Faster R-CNN-based detection algorithm is proposed in this paper. It achieves multi-object recognition and localization through a second-order detection network, and replaces the original feature extraction module with Dense-Net, which can fuse multi-level feature information, increase network depth and avoid disappearance of network gradients. Meanwhile, the proposal merging strategy is improved with Soft-NMS, where an attenuation function is designed to replace the conventional NMS algorithm, thereby avoiding missed detection of adjacent or overlapping objects, and enhancing the network detection accuracy under multiple objects. During the experiment, the improved Faster R-CNN method in this article has 84.7% target detection result, which is improved compared to other methods, which proves that the target recognition method has significant advantages and potential.

The current study aimed to verify the image segmentation ability of rays in tangential thin sections of conifers using artificial intelligence technology. The applied model was Mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) and softwoods (viz. Picea jezoensis, Larix gmelinii, Abies nephrolepis, Abies koreana, Ginkgo biloba, Taxus cuspidata, Cryptomeria japonica, Cedrus deodara, Pinus koraiensis) were selected for the study. To take digital pictures, thin sections of thickness 10-15 ㎛ were cut using a microtome, and then stained using a 1:1 mixture of 0.5% astra blue and 1% safranin. In the digital images, rays were selected as detection objects, and Computer Vision Annotation Tool was used to annotate the rays in the training images taken from the tangential sections of the woods. The performance of the Mask R-CNN applied to select rays was as high as 0.837 mean average precision and saving the time more than half of that required for Ground Truth. During the image analysis process, however, division of the rays into two or more rays occurred. This caused some errors in the measurement of the ray height. To improve the image processing algorithms, further work on combining the fragments of a ray into one ray segment, and increasing the precision of the boundary between rays and the neighboring tissues is required.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a vital role in the maintenance and operation of constructions. In recent years, autonomous inspection has received considerable attention because conventional monitoring methods are inefficient and expensive to some extent. To develop autonomous inspection, a potential approach of crack identification is needed to locate defects. Therefore, this study exploits two deep learning-based segmentation models, DeepLabv3+ and Mask R-CNN, for crack segmentation because these two segmentation models can outperform other similar models on public datasets. Additionally, impacts of label quality on model performance are explored to obtain an empirical guideline on the preparation of image datasets. The influence of image cropping and label refining are also investigated, and different strategies are applied to the dataset, resulting in six alternated datasets. By conducting experiments with these datasets, the highest mean Intersection-over-Union (mIoU), 75%, is achieved by Mask R-CNN. The rise in the percentage of annotations by image cropping improves model performance while the label refining has opposite effects on the two models. As the label refining results in fewer error annotations of cracks, this modification enhances the performance of DeepLabv3+. Instead, the performance of Mask R-CNN decreases because fragmented annotations may mistake an instance as multiple instances. To sum up, both DeepLabv3+ and Mask R-CNN are capable of crack identification, and an empirical guideline on the data preparation is presented to strengthen identification successfulness via image cropping and label refining.

Tack coat is a thin layer of asphalt between the existing pavement and asphalt overlay. During construction, insufficient tack coat layering can later cause surface defects such as slippage, shoving, and rutting. This paper proposed a method for tack coat inspection improvement using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and deep learning neural network for automatic non-uniform assessment of the applied tack coat area. In this method, the drone-captured images are exploited for assessment using a combination of Mask R-CNN and Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Mask R-CNN is utilized to detect the tack coat region and segment the region of interest from the surroundings. GLCM is used to analyze the texture of the segmented region and measure the uniformity and non-uniformity of the tack coat on the existing pavements. The results of the field experiment showed both the intersection over union of Mask R-CNN and the non-uniformity measured by GLCM were promising with respect to their accuracy. The proposed method is automatic and cost-efficient, which would be of value to state Departments of Transportation for better management of their work in pavement construction and rehabilitation.

In order to diagnose and prevent Alzheimer's Disease (AD), it is becoming increasingly important to develop a CAD(Computer-aided Diagnosis) system for AD diagnosis, which provides effective treatment for patients by analyzing 3D MRI images. It is essential to apply powerful deep learning algorithms in order to automatically classify stages of Alzheimer's Disease and to develop a Alzheimer's Disease support diagnosis system that has the function of detecting hippocampus and CSF(Cerebrospinal fluid) which are important biomarkers in diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. In this paper, for AD diagnosis, we classify a given MRI data into three categories of AD, mild cognitive impairment, and normal control according by applying 3D brain MRI image to the Faster R-CNN model and detect hippocampus and CSF in MRI image. To do this, we use the 2D MRI slice images extracted from the 3D MRI data of the Faster R-CNN, and perform the widely used majority voting algorithm on the resulting bounding box labels for classification. To verify the proposed method, we used the public ADNI data set, which is the standard brain MRI database. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves impressive classification performance compared with other state-of-the-art methods.

Recently, computer vision field based deep learning artificial intelligence has become a hot topic among various image analysis boundaries. In this study, flames are detected in fire images using the Faster R-CNN algorithm, which is used to detect objects within the image, among various image recognition algorithms based on deep learning. In order to improve fire detection accuracy through a small amount of data sets in the learning process, we use image augmentation techniques, and learn image augmentation by dividing into 6 types and compare accuracy, precision and detection rate. As a result, the detection rate increases as the type of image augmentation increases. However, as with the general accuracy and detection rate of other object detection models, the false detection rate is also increased from 10% to 30%.
