This study develops a vision-based technique for enhancing taillight recognition in autonomous vehicles, aimed at improving real-time decision making by analyzing the driving behaviors of vehicles ahead. The approach utilizes a convolutional 3D neural network (C3D) with feature simplification to classify taillight images into eight distinct states, adapting to various environmental conditions. The problem addressed is the variability in environmental conditions that affect the performance of vision-based systems. Our objective is to improve the accuracy and generalizability of taillight signal recognition under different conditions. The methodology involves using a C3D model to analyze video sequences, capturing both spatial and temporal features. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in the model′s accuracy (85.19%) and generalizability, enabling precise interpretation of preceding vehicle maneuvers. The proposed technique effectively enhances autonomous vehicle navigation and safety by ensuring reliable taillight state recognition, with potential for further improvements under nighttime and adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the system reduces latency in signal processing, ensuring faster and more reliable decision making directly on the edge devices installed within the vehicles. Full article

ROV operators often encounter challenges with orientation awareness while operating underwater, primarily due to relying solely on 2D camera feeds to manually control the ROV robot arm. This limitation in underwater visibility and orientation awareness, as observed among Malaysian ROV operators, can compromise the accuracy of arm placement, and pose a risk of tool damage if not handle with care. To address this, a 3D orientation monitoring system for ROVs has been developed, leveraging measurement sensors with nine degrees of freedom (DOF). These sensors capture crucial parameters such as roll, pitch, yaw, and heading, providing real-time data on the ROV’s position along the X, Y, and Z axes to ensure precise orientation. These data are then utilized to generate and process 3D imaging and develop a corresponding 3D model of the operational ROV underwater, accurately reflecting its orientation in a visual representation by using an open-source platform. Due to constraints set by an agreement with the working class ROV operators, only short-term tests (up to 1 min) could be performed at the dockyard. A video demonstration of a working class ROV replica moving and reflecting in a 3D simulation in real-time was also presented. Despite these limitations, our findings demonstrate the feasibility and potential of a cost-effective 3D orientation visualization system for working class ROVs. With mean absolute error (MAE) error less than 2%, the results align with the performance expectations of the actual working ROV. Full article

This study focuses on advancing the field of remote sensing image target detection, addressing challenges such as small target detection, complex background handling, and dense target distribution. We propose solutions based on enhancing the YOLOv7 algorithm. Firstly, we improve the multi-scale feature enhancement (MFE) method of YOLOv7, enhancing its adaptability and precision in detecting small targets and complex backgrounds. Secondly, we design a modified YOLOv7 global information DP-MLP module to effectively capture and integrate global information, thereby improving target detection accuracy and robustness, especially in handling large-scale variations and complex scenes. Lastly, we explore a semi-supervised learning model (SSLM) target detection algorithm incorporating unlabeled data, leveraging information from unlabeled data to enhance the model’s generalization ability and performance. Experimental results demonstrate that despite the outstanding performance of YOLOv7, the mean average precision (MAP) can still be improved by 1.9%. Specifically, under testing on the TGRS-HRRSD-Dataset, the MFE and DP-MLP models achieve MAP values of 93.4% and 93.1%, respectively. Across the NWPU VHR-10 dataset, the three models achieve MAP values of 93.1%, 92.1%, and 92.2%, respectively. Significant improvements are observed across various metrics compared to the original model. This study enhances the adaptability, accuracy, and generalization of remote sensing image object detection. Full article
