White blood cells (WBCs) in the human immune system defend against infection and protect the body from external hazardous objects. They are comprised of neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, whereby each accounts for a distinct percentage and performs specific functions. Traditionally, the clinical laboratory procedure for quantifying the specific types of white blood cells is an integral part of a complete blood count (CBC) test, which aids in monitoring the health of people. With the advancements in deep learning, blood film images can be classified in less time and with high accuracy using various algorithms. This paper exploits a number of state-of-the-art deep learning models and their variations based on CNN architecture. A comparative study on model performance based on accuracy, F1-score, recall, precision, number of parameters, and time was conducted, and DenseNet161 was found to demonstrate a superior performance among its counterparts. In addition, advanced optimization techniques such as normalization, mixed-up augmentation, and label smoothing were also employed on DenseNet to further refine its performance.
In Thailand, parking time violation is a major problem, especially for mini-marts. At present the task of detecting parking time violation is mainly conducted manually using Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV). This method requires additional human labour to track incoming and outgoing vehicles. Therefore, low cost time violation tracking is needed. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been any research for parking violation detection and tracking conducted for parking time limits. This paper introduces a novel parking time violation detection algorithm using the Yolov8 and DeepSORT tracking algorithms to track vehicles in consecutive frames. The presented parking violation tracking algorithm can provide a guideline for research in parking time violation detection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
