Security and safety is a big concern for today's modern world. For a country to be economically strong, it must ensure a safe and secure environment for investors and tourists. Having said that, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are being used for surveillance and to monitor activities i.e. robberies but these cameras still require human supervision and intervention. We need a system that can automatically detect these illegal activities. Despite state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms, fast processing hardware, and advanced CCTV cameras, weapon detection in real-time is still a serious challenge. Observing angle differences, occlusions by the carrier of the firearm and persons around it further enhances the difficulty of the challenge. This work focuses on providing a secure place using CCTV footage as a source to detect harmful weapons by applying the state of the art open-source deep learning algorithms. We have implemented binary classification assuming pistol class as the reference class and relevant confusion objects inclusion concept is introduced to reduce false positives and false negatives. No standard dataset was available for real-time scenario so we made our own dataset by making weapon photos from our own camera, manually collected images from internet, extracted data from YouTube CCTV videos, through GitHub repositories, data by university of Granada and Internet Movies Firearms Database (IMFDB) imfdb.org. Two approaches are used i.e. sliding window/classification and region proposal/object detection. Some of the algorithms used are VGG16, Inception-V3, Inception-ResnetV2, SSDMobileNetV1, Faster-RCNN Inception-ResnetV2 (FRIRv2), YOLOv3, and YOLOv4. Precision and recall count the most rather than accuracy when object detection is performed so these entire algorithms were tested in terms of them. Yolov4 stands out best amongst all other algorithms and gave a F1-score of 91% along with a mean average precision of 91.73% higher than previously achieved.
Reliably and effectively detecting and classifying leather surface defects is of great importance to tanneries and industries that use leather as a major raw material such as leather footwear and handbag manufacturers. This paper presents a detailed and methodical review of the leather surface defects, their effects on leather quality grading and automated visual inspection methods for leather defect inspection. A detailed review of inspection methods based on leather defect detection using image analysis methods is presented, which are usually classified as heuristic or basic machine learning based methods. Due to the recent success of deep learning methods in various related fields, various architectures of deep learning are discussed that are tailored to image classification, detection, and segmentation. In general, visual inspection applications, where recent CNN architectures are classified, compared, and a detailed review is subsequently presented on the role of deep learning methods in leather defect detection. Finally, research guidelines are presented to fellow researchers regarding data augmentation, leather quality quantification, and simultaneous defect inspection methods, which need to be investigated in the future to make progress in this crucial area of research.
There is a need for clinicians to emphasize "management" over "treatment" in their pharmacologic approach to schizophrenia. Using the term "treatment" may set up unrealistic expectations for a fuller recovery to a premorbid level of functioning, with potential use of overmedication and polypharmacy as well as possible unwanted adverse effects. The "management" concept allows clinicians to work with the best current medication practice, taking into account the wide variability in the course of illness and response to treatment. Prescribing clinicians should work collaboratively with other caregivers to enhance adaptive behavior and functional outcome through psychosocial rehabilitative interventions, within the context of recovery.
As part of industrial quality control in the leather industry, it is important to segment features/defects in wet-blue leather samples. Manual inspection of leather samples is the current norm in industrial settings. To comply with the current industrial standards that advocate large-scale automation, visual inspection based leather processing is imperative. Visual inspection of wet-blue leather features is a challenging problem as the characteristics of these features can take on a variety of shapes and colour variations to constitute various normal and abnormal surface regions. The aim of this work is to automatically segment leather images to detect various features/defects along with the background through visual analysis of the surfaces. To accomplish this, a deep learning-based technique is developed that learns to segment wet-blue leather surface features. On our own curated leather images dataset, the proposed ensemble network performed well, with an F1-Score of 74 percent.
