Deep learning face mask detection networks have been implemented into COVID-19 monitoring systems to provide effective supervision for public areas. However, previous works have limitations: the challenge of real-time performance (i.e., fast inference and low accuracy) and training datasets. The current study aims to propose a comprehensive solution by creating a new face mask dataset and improving the YOLOv5 baseline to balance accuracy and detection time. Particularly, we improve YOLOv5 by adding coordinate attention (CA) module into the baseline backbone following two different schemes, namely YOLOv5s-CA and YOLOV5s-C3CA. In detail, we train three models with a Kaggle dataset of 853 images consisting of three categories: without a mask \"NM,\" with mask \"M,\" and incorrectly worn mask \"IWM\" classes. The experimental results show that our modified YOLOv5 with CA module achieves the highest accuracy mAP@0.5 of 93.9% compared with 87% of baseline and detection time per image of 8.0 ms (125 FPS). In addition, we build an integrated system of improved YOLOv5-CA and auto-labeling module to create a new face mask dataset of 7110 images with more than 3500 labels for three categories from YouTube videos. Our proposed YOLOv5-CA and the state-of-the-art detection models (i.e., YOLOX, YOLOv6, and YOLOv7) are trained on our 7110 images dataset. In our dataset, the YOLOv5-CA performance enhances with mAP@0.5 of 96.8%. The results indicate the enhancement of the improved YOLOv5-CA model compared with several state-of-the-art works.</p>","PeriodicalId":50034,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supercomputing","volume":"79 8","pages":"8966-8992"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9809528/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9280086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework comprises of five main modules: Internet of Things network design and deployment, big data streaming architecture, stream data modeling method, big data forecasting method, and a comprehensive real-world application scenario, consisting of a physical Internet of Things network feeding the big data streaming architecture, being the linear regression the algorithm used for illustrative purposes.

It is considerably promising for several industries, including gaming, education, and business. However, it still has drawbacks, particularly in the privacy and identity threads. When a person joins the metaverse via a virtual reality (VR) human-robot equipment, their avatar, digital assets, and private information may be compromised by cybercriminals. This paper introduces a specific Finger Vein Recognition approach for the virtual reality (VR) human-robot equipment of the metaverse of the Metaverse to prevent others from misappropriating it. Finger vein is a is a biometric feature hidden beneath our skin. It is considerably more secure in person verification than other hand-based biometric characteristics such as finger print and palm print since it is difficult to imitate. Most conventional finger vein recognition systems that use hand-crafted features are ineffective, especially for images with low quality, low contrast, scale variation, translation, and rotation. Deep learning methods have been demonstrated to be more successful than traditional methods in computer vision. This paper develops a finger vein recognition system based on a convolution neural network and anti-aliasing technique. We employ/ utilize a contrast image enhancement algorithm in the preprocessing step to improve performance of the system. The proposed approach is evaluated on three publicly available finger vein datasets.

Medical IoT (MIoT) equipment often transfers health data to a pharmaceutical data center, where it is saved, evaluated, and made available to relevant stakeholders or users. Fog layers have been utilized to increase the scalability and flexibility of IoT-based healthcare services, by providing quick response times and low latency. Our proposed solution focuses on an electronic healthcare system that manages both critical and non-critical patients simultaneously. Fog layer is distributed into two halves: critical fog cluster and non-critical fog cluster. Critical patients are handled at critical fog clusters for quick response, while non-critical patients are handled using blockchain technology at non-critical fog cluster, which protects the privacy of patient health records. The suggested solution requires little modification to the current IoT ecosystem while decrease the response time for critical messages and offloading the cloud infrastructure. Reduced storage requirements for cloud data centers benefit users in addition to saving money on construction and operating expenses. In addition, we examined the proposed work for recall, accuracy, precision, and F-score. The results show that the suggested approach is successful in protecting privacy while retaining standard network settings. Moreover, suggested system and benchmark are evaluated in terms of system response time, drop rate, throughput, fog, and cloud utilization.

Numerous works are carried out by the researchers to generate fair constructive results; however, they do not provide acceptable results for all kinds of queries particularly phrase and individual queries. The utilization of identical data sources and weighting strategies for expanding such terms are the major cause of this issue which leads the model unable to capture the comprehensive relationship between the query terms. In order to tackle this issue, we developed a novel approach for query expansion technique to analyze the different data sources namely WordNet, Wikipedia, and Text REtrieval Conference. This paper presents an Improved Aquila Optimization-based COOT(IAOCOOT) algorithm for query expansion which retrieves the semantic aspects that match the query term. The semantic heterogeneity associated with document retrieval mainly impacts the relevance matching between the query and the document. The main cause of this issue is that the similarity among the words is not evaluated correctly. To overcome this problem, we are using a Modified Needleman Wunsch algorithm algorithm to deal with the problems of uncertainty, imprecision in the information retrieval process, and semantic ambiguity of indexed terms in both the local and global perspectives. The k most similar word is determined and returned from a candidate set through the top-k words selection technique and it is widely utilized in different tasks.

In this paper, we present the design of the Sparse Autoencoder-based Bidirectional long short-term memory (SAE-BLSTM) network model, a model built on Sparse Autoencoder (SAE) and Bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) networks to predict the wastewater flow rate in a sanitary sewer system. This network model consists of a data preprocessing segment, the SAE network segment, and the BLSTM network segment. The SAE is capable of performing data dimensionality reduction on high-dimensional original input feature data from which it can extract sparse potential features from the aforementioned high-dimensional original input feature data. The potential features extracted by the SAE hidden layer are concatenated with the smooth historical wastewater flow rate features to create an augmented previous feature vector that more accurately predicts the wastewater flow rate. These augmented previous features are applied to the BLSTM network to predict the future wastewater flow rate. Thus, this network model combines two kinds of abilities, SAE's low-dimensional nonlinear representation for original input feature data and BLSTM's time series prediction for wastewater flow rate. Then, we conducted extensive experiments on the SAE-BLSTM network model utilizing the real-world hydrological time series datasets and employing advanced SVM, FCN, GRU, LSTM, and BLSTM models as comparison algorithms.
