As drones gain more popularity these days, drone detection becomes more important part of the drone systems for safety, privacy, crime prevention and etc. However, existing drone detection systems are expensive and heavy so that they are only suitable for industrial or military purpose. This paper proposes a novel approach for training Convolutional Neural Networks to detect drones from images that can be used in embedded systems. Unlike previous works that consider the class probability of the image areas where the class object exists, the proposed approach takes account of all areas in the image for robust classification and object detection. Moreover, a novel loss function is proposed for the CNN to learn more effectively from limited amount of training data. The experimental results with various drone images show that the proposed approach performs efficiently in real drone detection scenarios.

Autonomous underwater vehicle makes attracts to many researchers. This paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN) based fish detection method. Since there are not enough data sets in the process of training, overfitting problem can be occurred in deep learning. To solve the problem, we apply the dropout algorithm to simplify the model. Experimental result showed that the implemented method is promising, and the effectiveness of identification by dropout approach is highly enhanced.

Object detection plays a critical role in the field of computer vision, and various researches have rapidly increased along with applying convolutional neural network and its modified structures since 2012. There are representative object detection algorithms, which are convolutional neural networks and YOLO. This paper presents two representative algorithm series, based on CNN and YOLO which solves the problem of CNN bounding box. We compare the performance of algorithm series in terms of accuracy, speed and cost. Compared with the latest advanced solution, YOLO v3 achieves a good trade-off between speed and accuracy.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) show high performance in computer vision tasks including object detection, but a lot of weight storage and computation is required. In this paper, a pruning scheme is applied to CNNs for object detection, which can remove much amount of weights with a negligible performance degradation. Contrary to the previous ones, the pruning scheme applied in this paper considers the base accelerator architecture. With the consideration, the pruned CNNs can be efficiently performed on an ASIC or FPGA accelerator. Even with the constrained pruning, the resulting CNN shows a negligible degradation of detection performance, less-than-1% point degradation of mAP on VOD0712 test set. With the proposed scheme, CNNs can be applied to objection dtection efficiently.

Aiming Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have achieved outstanding performances on skeleton-based action recognition. However, several problems remain in existing GCN-based methods, and the problem of low recognition rate caused by single input data information has not been effectively solved. In this article, we propose a Dual-stream fusion method that combines video data and skeleton data. The two networks respectively identify skeleton data and video data and fuse the probabilities of the two outputs to achieve the effect of information fusion. Experiments on two large dataset, Kinetics and NTU-RGBC+D Human Action Dataset, illustrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art. Compared with the traditional method, the recognition accuracy is improved better.

Traffic sign recognition plays an important role in solving traffic-related problems. Traffic sign recognition and classification systems are key components for traffic safety, traffic monitoring, autonomous driving services, and autonomous vehicles. A lightweight model, applicable to portable devices, is an essential aspect of the design agenda. We suggest a lightweight convolutional neural network model with residual blocks for traffic sign recognition systems. The proposed model shows very competitive results on publicly available benchmark data.

Although image compression is one of the essential technologies to transmit image data on a variety of surveillance and mobile healthcare applications, it causes unnecessary compression artifacts such as blocking and ringing artifacts by the lossy compression in the limited network bandwidth. Recently, image restoration methods using convolutional neural network (CNN) show the significant improvement of image quality from the compressed images. In this paper, we propose Image Denoising Convolutional Neural Networks (IDCNN) to reduce the compression artifacts for the purpose of improving the performance of object classification. In order to evaluate the classification accuracy, we used the ImageNet test dataset consisting of 50,000 natural images and measured the classification performance in terms of Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed IDCNN can improve Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy as high as 2.46% and 2.42%, respectively.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) achieved impressive performance on image generation and visual classification applications. However, adversarial networks meet difficulties in combining the generative model and unstable training process. To overcome the problem, we combined the deep residual network with upsampling convolutional layers to construct the generative network. Moreover, the study shows that image generation and classification performance become more prominent when the residual layers include on the generator. The proposed network empirically shows that the ability to generate images with higher visual accuracy provided certain amounts of additional complexity using proper regularization techniques. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed method is superior to image generation and classification tasks.

In this paper, we propose recurrent CNN(Convolutional Neural Networks) for detecting seizures among patients using EEG signals. In the proposed method, data were mapped by image to preserve the spectral characteristics of the EEG signal and the position of the electrode. After the spectral preprocessing, we input it into CNN and extracted the spatial and temporal features without wavelet transform. Results from the Children's Hospital of Boston Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CHB-MIT) dataset showed a sensitivity of 90% and a false positive rate (FPR) of 0.85 per hour.

CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) is a neural network that models animal visual information processing. And it shows good performance in various fields. In this paper, we use CNN to classify target and non-target data by analyzing the spectrogram of active sonar signal. The data were divided into 8 classes according to the ratios containing the targets and used for learning CNN. The spectrogram of the signal is divided into frames and used as inputs. As a result, it was possible to classify the target and non-target using the characteristic that the classification results of the seven classes corresponding to the target signal sequentially appear only at the position of the target signal.
