Traffic light recognition is an essential task for an advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) as well as for autonomous vehicles. Recently, deep-learning has become increasingly popular in vision-based object recognition owing to its high performance of classification. In this study, we investigate how to design a deep-learning based high-performance traffic light detection system. Two main components of the recognition system are investigated: the color space of the input video and the network model of deep learning. We apply six color spaces (RGB, normalized RGB, Ruta’s RYG, YCbCr, HSV, and CIE Lab) and three types of network models (based on the Faster R-CNN and R-FCN models). All combinations of color spaces and network models are implemented and tested on a traffic light dataset with 1280×720 resolution. Our simulations show that the best performance is achieved with the combination of RGB color space and Faster R-CNN model. These results can provide a comprehensive guideline for designing a traffic light detection system.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate an automated detection system to detect and classify permanent teeth on orthopantomogram (OPG) images using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Methods: In total, 591 digital OPGs were collected from patients older than 18 years. Three qualified dentists performed individual teeth labelling on images to generate the ground truth annotations. A three-step procedure, relying upon CNNs, was proposed for automated detection and classification of teeth. Firstly, U-Net, a type of CNN, performed preliminary segmentation of tooth regions or detecting regions of interest (ROIs) on panoramic images. Secondly, the Faster R-CNN, an advanced object detection architecture, identified each tooth within the ROI determined by the U-Net. Thirdly, VGG-16 architecture classified each tooth into 32 categories, and a tooth number was assigned. A total of 17,135 teeth cropped from 591 radiographs were used to train and validate the tooth detection and tooth numbering modules. 90% of OPG images were used for training, and the remaining 10% were used for validation. 10-folds cross-validation was performed for measuring the performance. The intersection over union (IoU), F1 score, precision, and recall (i.e. sensitivity) were used as metrics to evaluate the performance of resultant CNNs. Results: The ROI detection module had an IoU of 0.70. The tooth detection module achieved a recall of 0.99 and a precision of 0.99. The tooth numbering module had a recall, precision and F1 score of 0.98. Conclusion: The resultant automated method achieved high performance for automated tooth detection and numbering from OPG images. Deep learning can be helpful in the automatic filing of dental charts in general dentistry and forensic medicine.

Traffic lights detection and their state recognition is a crucial task that autonomous vehicles must reliably fulfill. Despite scientific endeavors, it still is an open problem due to the variations of traffic lights and their perception in image form. Unlike previous studies, this paper investigates the use of inaccurate and publicly available GIS databases such as OpenStreetMap. In addition, we are the first to exploit conic section geometry to improve the shape cue of the traffic lights in images. Conic section also enables us to estimate the pose of the traffic lights with respect to the camera. Our approach can detect multiple traffic lights in the scene, it also is able to detect the traffic lights in the absence of prior knowledge, and detect the traffics lights as far as 70 meters. The proposed approach has been evaluated for different scenarios and the results show that the use of stereo cameras significantly improves the accuracy of the traffic lights detection and pose estimation.

Traffic Lights

Minimizing human intervention in engines, such as traffic lights, through automatic applications and sensors has been the focus of many studies. Thus, Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have been studied for traffic signs and vehicle identification in an urban traffic context. However, there is a lack of priority vehicle classification algorithms with high accuracy, fast processing, and a lightweight solution. For filling those gaps, a vehicle detection system is proposed, which is integrated with an intelligent traffic light. Thus, this work proposes (1) a novel vehicle detection model named Priority Vehicle Image Detection Network (PVIDNet), based on YOLOV3, (2) a lightweight design strategy for the PVIDNet model using an activation function to decrease the execution time of the proposed model, (3) a traffic control algorithm based on the Brazilian Traffic Code, and (4) a database containing Brazilian vehicle images. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions were evaluated using the Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) tool. Results show that PVIDNet reached an accuracy higher than 0.95, and the waiting time of priority vehicles was reduced by up to 50%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Drone Control

In recent years, much research on the unmanned control of a moving vehicle has been conducted, and various robots and motor vehicles moving automatically are being used. However, the more complicated the environment is, the more difficult it is for the autonomous vehicles to move automatically. Even in such a challenging environment, however, an expert with the necessary operation skill can sometimes perform the appropriate control of the moving vehicle. In this research, a method for learning a human’s operation skill using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and setting visual information for input is proposed for learning more complicated environmental information. A CNN is a kind of deep-learning network, and it exhibits high performance in the field of image recognition. In this experiment, the operation knowledge was also visualized using a fuzzy neural network with obtained input-output maps to create fuzzy rules. To verify the effectiveness of this method, an experiment involving operation skill acquisition by some subjects using a drone control simulator was conducted.

The Tsukuba Challenge is an open experiment competition held annually since 2007, and wherein the autonomous navigation robots developed by the participants must navigate through an urban setting in which pedestrians and cyclists are present. One of the required tasks in the Tsukuba Challenge from 2013 to 2017 was to search for persons wearing designated clothes within the search area. This is a very difficult task since it is necessary to seek out these persons in an environment that includes regular pedestrians, and wherein the lighting changes easily because of weather conditions. Moreover, the recognition system must have a light computational cost because of the limited performance of the computer that is mounted onto the robot. In this study, we focused on a deep learning method of detecting the target persons in captured images. The developed detection system was expected to achieve high detection performance, even when small-sized input images were used for deep learning. Experiments demonstrated that the proposed system achieved better performance than an existing object detection network. However, because a vast amount of training data is necessary for deep learning, a method of generating training data to be used in the detection of target persons is also discussed in this paper.

<p>Semakin meningkatnya jumlah penderita diabetes menjadi salah satu faktor penyebab semakin tingginya penderita penyakit <em>diabetic retinophaty</em>. Salah satu citra yang digunakan oleh dokter mata untuk mengidentifikasi <em>diabetic retinophaty</em> adalah foto retina. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengenalan penyakit diabetic retinophaty secara otomatis menggunakan citra <em>fundus</em> retina dan algoritme <em>Convolutional Neural Network</em> (CNN) yang merupakan variasi dari algoritme Deep Learning. Kendala yang ditemukan dalam proses pengenalan adalah warna retina yang cenderung merah kekuningan sehingga ruang warna RGB tidak menghasilkan akurasi yang optimal. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengujian pada berbagai ruang warna untuk mendapatkan hasil yang lebih baik. Dari hasil uji coba menggunakan 1000 data pada ruang warna RGB, HSI, YUV dan L*a*b* memberikan hasil yang kurang optimal pada data seimbang dimana akurasi terbaik masih dibawah 50%. Namun pada data tidak seimbang menghasilkan akurasi yang cukup tinggi yaitu 83,53% pada ruang warna YUV dengan pengujian pada data latih dan akurasi 74,40% dengan data uji pada semua ruang warna.</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em>Increasing the number of people with diabetes is one of the factors causing the high number of people with diabetic retinopathy.

In this research, the identification of diabetic retinopathy is done automatically using retinal fundus images and the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm, which is a variation of the Deep Learning algorithm. The obstacle found in the recognition process is the color of the retina which tends to be yellowish red so that the RGB color space does not produce optimal accuracy. Therefore, in this research, various color spaces were tested to get better results. From the results of trials using 1000 images data in the color space of RGB, HSI, YUV and L * a * b * give suboptimal results on balanced data where the best accuracy is still below 50%. However, the unbalanced data gives a fairly high accuracy of 83.53% with training data on the YUV color space and 74,40% with testing data on all color spaces.</em></p><p><em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>
