Thyroid nodules are considered as most common disease found in adults and thyroid cancer has increased over the years rapidly. Further automatic segmentation for ultrasound image is quite difficult due to the image poor quality, hence several researcher have focused and observed that U-Net achieves significant performance in medical image segmentation. However U-net faces the problem of low resolution which causes smoothness in image, hence in this research work we have proposed improvised U-Net which helps in achieving the better performance. The main aim of this research work is to achieve the probable Region of Interest through segmentation with better efficiency. In order to achieve that Improvised U-Net develops two distinctive feature map i.e. High level feature Map and low level feature map to avoid the problem of low resolution. Further proposed model is evaluated considering the standard dataset based on performance metrics such as Dice Coefficient and True positive Rate. Moreover our model achieves better performance than the existing model.

Object recognition the use deep neural networks has been most typically used in real applications. We propose a framework for identifying items in pics of very low decision through collaborative studying of two deep neural networks. It includes photo enhancement network object popularity networks. The picture correction community seeks to decorate images of much lower decision faster and more informative images with the usages of collaborative gaining knowledge of indicatores from object recognition networks. Object popularity networks actively participate in the mastering of photograph enhancement networks, with skilled weights for photographs of excessive resolution. It uses output from photograph enhancement networks as augmented studying recordes to reinforce the overall performance of its identity on a very low decision object. We esablished that the proposed method can improve photograph reconstruction and classification overall performance

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The aim of this paper is to solve two problems: object detection of small objects and multi-view scenes. First, in practical applications, the collected traffic video is affected by the resolution, viewing angle, focal length and model of the front-end acquisition device. The object size, shape and attitude of the video to be detected are different, resulting in the overall detection performance of the algorithm recognition. In particular, for traffic intersections, the size of the vehicle is related to the distance between the vehicle and the camera, and the object resolution of the vehicle near the intersection is relatively high. As the relative distance increases, the resolution of the object gradually decreases, resulting in feature extraction of the detection object to be detected. And identification becomes more and more difficult, and the probability of the object being detected is greatly reduced. Secondly, there are usually many ways to collect traffic data, such as fixed-position camera, high-altitude camera, and cruising UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). These video sources collected at different viewing angles and locations pose challenges to the stability, robustness, and generalization capabilities of the detection algorithms. Therefore, design a new algorithm and optimizing model parameters and training samples of different source data is extremely important for multi-view object detection.</p><p>An object detection algorithm based on pyramid Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and feature map fusion method was proposed, and the deep learning technology and the object detection algorithm are used to detect and identify the video objects of multiple viewing angles and different resolution scenes in traffic field. By mixing the lower and deeper feature map model, the algorithm can detect a smaller object in multiple viewing angles and different resolution scenes. Meanwhile, an image block and multi-threading technology was used to avoid scale limit of input image. The experiments show that it can be more efficient and accurate in practical applications of traffic detection filed.</p><p>The method can be used for the existing network model (VGG16, ResNet101, etc.) to build the skeleton of the object detection algorithm. A new object detection algorithm is developed for these goals, which contain small object recognition and multi-view recognition of traffic video, and it can enable it to extract the lower features of the object and effectively realize multi-object recognition of different scenes. Using the pyramid CNN model, it is possible to effectively combine low-level features and high-level features to achieve feature extraction and fusion of the object, and to solve the problem of small object recognition accuracy to a certain extent. Meanwhile, in view of the shortcomings of the existing object detection algorithm to re-compress the image size, the image block and multi-threading technology are used to restore the original resolution of the image. By using this technology, the accuracy of image object to be detected can be improved.</p>

In recent years, research on cognitive aging increasingly has focused on the cognitive development across middle adulthood. However, little is still known about the long-term effects of intensive job-specific training of fluid intellectual abilities. In this study we examined the effects of age- and job-specific practice of cognitive abilities on detection performance in airport security x-ray screening. In Experiment 1 (N = 308; 24–65 years), we examined performance in the X-ray Object Recognition Test (ORT), a speeded visual object recognition task in which participants have to find dangerous items in x-ray images of passenger bags; and in Experiment 2 (N = 155; 20–61 years) in an on-the-job object recognition test frequently used in baggage screening. Results from both experiments show high performance in older adults and significant negative age correlations that cannot be overcome by more years of job-specific experience. We discuss the implications of our findings for theories of lifespan cognitive development and training concepts.
