The existing face detection methods were affected by the network model structure used. Most of the face recognition methods had low recognition rate of face key point features due to many parameters and large amount of calculation. In order to improve the recognition accuracy and detection speed of face key points, a real-time face key point detection algorithm based on attention mechanism was proposed in this paper. Due to the multiscale characteristics of face key point features, the deep convolution network model was adopted, the attention module was added to the VGG network structure, the feature enhancement module and feature fusion module were combined to improve the shallow feature representation ability of VGG, and the cascade attention mechanism was used to improve the deep feature representation ability. Experiments showed that the proposed algorithm not only can effectively realize face key point recognition but also has better recognition accuracy and detection speed than other similar methods. This method can provide some theoretical basis and technical support for face detection in complex environment.

Intelligent detection of imperfect wheat grains based on machine vision is of great significance to correctly and rapidly evaluate wheat quality. There is little difference between the partial characteristics of imperfect and perfect wheat grains, which is a key factor limiting the classification and recognition accuracy of imperfect wheat based on a deep learning network model. In this paper, we propose a method for imperfect wheat grains recognition combined with an attention mechanism and residual network (ResNet), and verify its recognition accuracy by adding an attention mechanism module into different depths of residual network. Five residual networks with different depths (18, 34, 50, 101, and 152) were selected for the experiment, it was found that the recognition accuracy of each network model was improved with the attention mechanism, and the average recognition rate of ResNet-50 with the addition of the attention mechanism reached 96.5%. For ResNet-50 with the attention mechanism, the optimal learning rate was further screened as 0.0003. The average recognition accuracy reached 97.5%, among which the recognition rates of scab wheat grains, insect-damaged wheat grains, sprouted wheat grains, mildew wheat grains, broken wheat grains, and perfect wheat grains reached 97%, 99%, 99%, 95%, 96%, and 99% respectively. This work can provide guidance for the detection and recognition of imperfect wheat grains using machine vision.

An important function in the future healthcare system involves measuring a patient’s vital signs, transmitting the measured vital signs to a smart device or a management server, analyzing it in real-time, and informing the patient or medical staff. Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) incorporates information technology (IT) into patient monitoring device (PMD) and is developing traditional measurement devices into healthcare information systems. In the study, a portable ubiquitous-Vital (u-Vital) system is developed and consists of a Vital Block (VB), a small PMD, and Vital Sign Server (VSS), which stores and manages measured vital signs. Specifically, VBs collect a patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), non-invasive blood pressure (NiBP), body temperature (BT) in real-time, and the collected vital signs are transmitted to a VSS via wireless protocols such as WiFi and Bluetooth. Additionally, an efficient R-point detection algorithm was also proposed for real-time processing and long-term ECG analysis. Experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of measurement, transmission, and analysis of vital signs in the proposed portable u-Vital system.

It is necessary to improve the performance of the object detection algorithm in resource-constrained embedded devices by lightweight improvement. In order to further improve the recognition accuracy of the algorithm for small target objects, this paper integrates 5 × 5 deep detachable convolution kernel on the basis of MobileNetV2-SSDLite model, extracts features of two special convolutional layers in addition to detecting the target, and designs a new lightweight object detection network—Lightweight Microscopic Detection Network (LMS-DN). The network can be implemented on embedded devices such as NVIDIA Jetson TX2. The experimental results show that LMS-DN only needs fewer parameters and calculation costs to obtain higher identification accuracy and stronger anti-interference than other popular object detection models.


Face recognition accuracy is determined by face detection results. Detected faces will be in view of clear and occlusion faces. If detected face has occlusion than recognition accuracy is reduced. This research is directed to increase recognition rate when detected occlusion face. In this paper is proposed normalization occlusion faces by Principal component analysis algorithm. After applying normalization method in occlusion faces false reject error rate is decreased.

The main purpose of this research is to enhance the communication of the disabled community. The authors of this chapter propose an enhanced interpersonal-human interaction for people with special needs, especially those with physical and communication disabilities. The proposed model comprises of automated real time behaviour monitoring, designed and implemented with the ubiquitous and affordable concept in mind to suit the underprivileged. In this chapter, the authors present the prototype which encapsulates an automated facial expression recognition system for monitoring the disabled, equipped with a feature to send Short Messaging System (SMS) for notification purposes. The authors adapted the Viola-Jones face detection algorithm at the face detection stage and implemented template matching technique for the expression classification and recognition stage. They tested their model with a few users and achieved satisfactory results. The enhanced real time behaviour monitoring system is an assistive tool to improve the quality of life for the disabled by assisting them anytime and anywhere when needed. They can do their own tasks more independently without constantly being monitored physically or accompanied by their care takers, teachers, or even parents. The rest of this chapter is organized as follows. The background of the facial expression recognition system is reviewed in Section 2. Section 3 is the description and explanations of the conceptual model of facial expression recognition. Evaluation of the proposed system is in Section 4. Results and findings on the testing are laid out in Section 5, and the final section concludes the chapter.

Face detection has been an important and active research topic in computer vision and image processing. In recent years, learning-based face detection algorithms have prevailed with successful applications. In this paper, we propose a new face detection algorithm that works directly in wavelet compressed domain. In order to simplify the processes of image decompression and feature extraction, we modify the AdaBoost learning algorithm to select a set of complimentary joint-coefficient classifiers and integrate them to achieve optimal face detection. Since the face detection on the wavelet compression domain is restricted by the limited discrimination power of the designated feature space, the proposed learning mechanism is developed to achieve the best discrimination from the restricted feature space. The major contributions in the proposed AdaBoost face detection learning algorithm contain the feature space warping, joint feature representation, ID3-like plane quantization, and weak probabilistic classifier, which dramatically increase the discrimination power of the face classifier. Experimental results on the CBCL benchmark and the MIT + CMU real image dataset show that the proposed algorithm can detect faces in the wavelet compressed domain accurately and efficiently.
