This paper proposes a system, which can rapidly count votes in traditional elections based on image understanding. Firstly, the system gets ballot images through high-speed scanner and preprocesses the images. Then, it recognizes the geometric structure and layout of ballot image through detecting table lines. In addition, it also recognizes the logical structure of ballot image through analyzing the relative positions of candidates and vote symbols. Thirdly, it locates candidates and symbols on the ballot table, and recognizes the specific symbols based on run features. The system has been implemented, which shows high counting speed, high recognition accuracy with wide applicability.

We present Machete, a straightforward segmenter one can use to isolate custom gestures in continuous input. Machete uses traditional continuous dynamic programming with a novel dissimilarity measure to align incoming data with gesture class templates in real time. Advantages of Machete over alternative techniques is that our segmenter is computationally efficient, accurate, device-agnostic, and works with a single training sample. We demonstrate Machete’s effectiveness through an extensive evaluation using four new high-activity datasets that combine puppeteering, direct manipulation, and gestures. We find that Machete outperforms three alternative techniques in segmentation accuracy and latency, making Machete the most performant segmenter. We further show that when combined with a custom gesture recognizer, Machete is the only option that achieves both high recognition accuracy and low latency in a video game application.

It is difficult to form a method for recognizing the degree of infiltration of a tunnel lining. To solve this problem, we propose a recognition method by using a deep convolutional neural network. We carry out laboratory tests, prepare cement mortar specimens with different saturation levels, simulate different degrees of infiltration of tunnel concrete linings, and establish an infrared thermal image data set with different degrees of infiltration. Then, based on a deep learning method, the data set is trained using the Faster R-CNN+ResNet101 network, and a recognition model is established. The experiments show that the recognition model established by the deep learning method can be used to select cement mortar specimens with different degrees of infiltration by using an accurately minimized rectangular outer frame. This model shows that the classification recognition model for tunnel concrete lining infiltration established by the indoor experimental method has high recognition accuracy.

Although many noise-robust techniques have been presented, the improvement under low SNR condition is still insufficient. The purpose of this paper is to achieve the high recognition accuracy under low SNR condition with low calculation costs. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel noise-robust speech recognition system that makes full use of spectral subtraction (SS), mean variance normalization (MVN), temporal filtering (TF), and multi-condition HMMs (MC-HMMs). First, from the results of SS with clean HMMs, we obtained the improvement from 46.61% to 65.71% under 0 dB SNR condition. Then, SS+ MVN+TF with clean HMMs improved the recognition accuracy from 65.71% to 80.97% under the same SNR condition. Finally, we achieved the further improvement from 80.97% to 92.23% by employing SS+MVN+TF with MC-HMMs.

In view of the intelligent demand of tennis line examination, this paper performs a systematic analysis on the intelligent recognition of tennis line examination. Then, a tennis line recognition method based on machine vision is proposed. In this paper, the color region of the image recognition region is divided based on the region growth, and the rough estimation of the court boundary is realized. In order to achieve the effect of camera calibration, a fast camera calibration method which can be used for a variety of court types is proposed. On the basis of camera calibration, a tennis line examination and segmentation system based on machine vision analysis is constructed, and the experimental results are verified by design experiments. The results show that the machine vision analysis-based intelligent segmentation system of tennis line examination has high recognition accuracy and can meet the actual needs of tennis line examination.

The original pattern recognition and classification of crop diseases needs to collect a large amount of data in the field and send them next to a computer server through the network for recognition and classification. This method usually takes a long time, is expensive, and is difficult to carry out for timely monitoring of crop diseases, causing delays to diagnosis and treatment. With the emergence of edge computing, one can attempt to deploy the pattern recognition algorithm to the farmland environment and monitor the growth of crops promptly. However, due to the limited resources of the edge device, the original deep recognition model is challenging to apply. Due to this, in this article, a recognition model based on a depthwise separable convolutional neural network (DSCNN) is proposed, which operation particularities include a significant reduction in the number of parameters and the amount of computation, making the proposed design well suited for the edge. To show its effectiveness, simulation results are compared with the main convolution neural network (CNN) models LeNet and Visual Geometry Group Network (VGGNet) and show that, based on high recognition accuracy, the recognition time of the proposed model is reduced by 80.9% and 94.4%, respectively. Given its fast recognition speed and high recognition accuracy, the model is suitable for the real-time monitoring and recognition of crop diseases by provisioning remote embedded equipment and deploying the proposed model using edge computing.
