Workplace injuries are common in today's society due to a lack of adequately worn safety equipment. A system that only admits appropriately equipped personnel can be created to improve working conditions. The goal is thus to develop a system that will improve workers' safety using a camera that will detect the usage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). To this end, we collected and labeled appropriate data from several public sources, which have been used to train and evaluate several models based on the popular YOLOv4 object detector. Our focus, driven by a collaborating industrial partner, is to implement our system into an entry control point where workers must present themselves to obtain access to a restricted area. Combined with facial identity recognition, the system would ensure that only authorized people wearing appropriate equipment are granted access. A novelty of this work is that we increase the number of classes to five objects (hardhat, safety vest, safety gloves, safety glasses, and hearing protection), whereas most existing works only focus on one or two classes, usually hardhats or vests. The AI model developed provides good detection accuracy at a distance of 3 and 5 meters in the collaborative environment where we aim at operating (mAP of 99/89%, respectively). The small size of some objects or the potential occlusion by body parts have been identified as potential factors that are detrimental to accuracy, which we have counteracted via data augmentation and cropping of the body before applying PPE detection.

Fires have destructive power when they break out and affect their surroundings on a devastatingly large scale. The best way to minimize their damage is to detect the fire as quickly as possible before it has a chance to grow. Accordingly, this work looks into the potential of AI to detect and recognize fires and reduce detection time using object detection on an image stream. Object detection has made giant leaps in speed and accuracy over the last six years, making real-time detection feasible. To our end, we collected and labeled appropriate data from several public sources, which have been used to train and evaluate several models based on the popular YOLOv4 object detector. Our focus, driven by a collaborating industrial partner, is to implement our system in an industrial warehouse setting, which is characterized by high ceilings. A drawback of traditional smoke detectors in this setup is that the smoke has to rise to a sufficient height. The AI models brought forward in this research managed to outperform these detectors by a significant amount of time, providing precious anticipation that could help to minimize the effects of fires further.

近年来，在基于视觉的施工站点安全系统的背景下，特别是关于个人保护设备，对深度学习方法引起了很多关注。但是，尽管有很多关注，但仍然没有可靠的方法来建立工人与硬帽之间的关系。为了回答此问题，本文提出了深入学习，对象检测和头部关键点本地化的结合以及简单的基于规则的推理。在测试中，该解决方案基于不同实例的相对边界框位置以及直接检测硬帽佩戴者和非磨损者的方法超过了先前的方法。结果表明，新颖的深度学习方法与基于人性化的规则系统的结合可能会导致一种既可靠又可以成功模仿现场监督的解决方案。这项工作是开发完全自主建筑工地安全系统的下一步，表明该领域仍有改进的余地。

The emergence of COVID-19 has had a global and profound impact, not only on society as a whole, but also on the lives of individuals. Various prevention measures were introduced around the world to limit the transmission of the disease, including face masks, mandates for social distancing and regular disinfection in public spaces, and the use of screening applications. These developments also triggered the need for novel and improved computer vision techniques capable of (i) providing support to the prevention measures through an automated analysis of visual data, on the one hand, and (ii) facilitating normal operation of existing vision-based services, such as biometric authentication schemes, on the other. Especially important here, are computer vision techniques that focus on the analysis of people and faces in visual data and have been affected the most by the partial occlusions introduced by the mandates for facial masks. Such computer vision based human analysis techniques include face and face-mask detection approaches, face recognition techniques, crowd counting solutions, age and expression estimation procedures, models for detecting face-hand interactions and many others, and have seen considerable attention over recent years. The goal of this survey is to provide an introduction to the problems induced by COVID-19 into such research and to present a comprehensive review of the work done in the computer vision based human analysis field. Particular attention is paid to the impact of facial masks on the performance of various methods and recent solutions to mitigate this problem. Additionally, a detailed review of existing datasets useful for the development and evaluation of methods for COVID-19 related applications is also provided. Finally, to help advance the field further, a discussion on the main open challenges and future research direction is given.

2019年冠状病毒疾病（Covid-19）继续自爆发以来对世界产生巨大挑战。为了对抗这种疾病，开发了一系列人工智能（AI）技术，并应用于现实世界的情景，如安全监测，疾病诊断，感染风险评估，Covid-19 CT扫描的病变细分等。 Coronavirus流行病迫使人们佩戴面膜来抵消病毒的传播，这也带来了监控戴着面具的大群人群的困难。在本文中，我们主要关注蒙面面部检测和相关数据集的AI技术。从蒙面面部检测数据集的描述开始，我们调查了最近的进步。详细描述并详细讨论了十三可用数据集。然后，该方法大致分为两类：传统方法和基于神经网络的方法。常规方法通常通过用手工制作的特征升高算法来训练，该算法占少比例。基于神经网络的方法根据处理阶段的数量进一步归类为三个部分。详细描述了代表性算法，与一些简要描述的一些典型技术耦合。最后，我们总结了最近的基准测试结果，讨论了关于数据集和方法的局限性，并扩大了未来的研究方向。据我们所知，这是关于蒙面面部检测方法和数据集的第一次调查。希望我们的调查可以提供一些帮助对抗流行病的帮助。

这项研究开发了一个无人驾驶系统（UASS）的框架，以监测高层建筑项目中未受保护的边缘和开口附近的跌落危险系统。开发并测试了一个三步基于机器学习的框架，以检测UAS捕获的图像的护栏柱。首先，对护栏探测器进行了培训，以定位支撑护栏的职位的候选位置。由于从实际的工作现场收集的此过程中使用了图像，因此确定了几个错误检测。因此，在以下步骤中引入了其他约束，以滤除错误检测。其次，研究团队将水平线检测器应用于图像，以正确检测地板并删除离地板不近的检测。最后，由于每个帖子之间安装了护栏柱，它们之间的分布差异大致，因此它们之间的空间被估算并用于找到两个帖子之间最有可能的距离。研究团队使用了开发方法的各种组合来监视高层建筑项目的捕获图像中的护栏系统。比较精度和召回指标表明，级联分类器通过落地检测和护栏间距估计来取得更好的性能。研究结果表明，拟议的护栏识别系统可以改善护栏的评估，并促进安全工程师确定高层建筑项目中跌落危害的任务。

自动检测飞行无人机是一个关键问题，其存在（特别是未经授权）可以造成风险的情况或损害安全性。在这里，我们设计和评估了多传感器无人机检测系统。结合常见的摄像机和麦克风传感器，我们探索了热红外摄像机的使用，指出是一种可行且有希望的解决方案，在相关文献中几乎没有解决。我们的解决方案还集成了鱼眼相机，以监视天空的更大部分，并将其他摄像机转向感兴趣的对象。传感溶液与ADS-B接收器，GPS接收器和雷达模块相辅相成，尽管由于其有限的检测范围，后者未包含在我们的最终部署中。即使此处使用的摄像机的分辨率较低，热摄像机也被证明是与摄像机一样好的可行解决方案。我们作品的另外两个新颖性是创建一个新的公共数据集的多传感器注释数据，该数据与现有的类别相比扩大了类的数量，以及对探测器性能的研究作为传感器到传感器的函数的研究目标距离。还探索了传感器融合，表明可以以这种方式使系统更强大，从而减轻对单个传感器的虚假检测

目的：对象检测正在通过自动化系统中的机器学习技术迅速发展。准备好的数据对于训练算法是必要的。因此，本文的目的是描述上下文（Loco）数据集中所谓的物流对象的重新评估，该数据集是内部径流学领域中的第一个用于对象检测的数据集。方法论：我们使用三个步骤的实验研究方法来评估机车数据集。首先，分析了GITHUB上的图像以更好地了解数据集。其次，Google Drive Cloud用于培训目的，以重新访问算法实现和培训。最后，如果可以与原始出版物相比，可以检查机车数据集，如果可以实现相同的培训结果。研究结果：在我们的研究中实现的平均平均精度是对象检测中的常见基准，比最初的研究作者的初步研究显着增加，获得了41％的幅度。但是，在叉车和托盘卡车的物体类型中特别看到改进潜力。独创性：本文介绍了Loco数据集的首次关键复制研究，以用于内凝学中的对象检测。它表明，基于机车的更好参数的培训甚至比原始出版物中提出的更高的精度。但是，还有进一步改善机车数据集的空间。

由于其前所未有的优势，在规模，移动，部署和隐蔽观察能力方面，空中平台和成像传感器的快速出现是实现新的空中监测形式。本文从计算机视觉和模式识别的角度来看，全面概述了以人为本的空中监控任务。它旨在为读者提供使用无人机，无人机和其他空中平台的空中监测任务当前状态的深入系统审查和技术分析。感兴趣的主要对象是人类，其中要检测单个或多个受试者，识别，跟踪，重新识别并进行其行为。更具体地，对于这四项任务中的每一个，我们首先讨论与基于地面的设置相比在空中环境中执行这些任务的独特挑战。然后，我们审查和分析公共可用于每项任务的航空数据集，并深入了解航空文学中的方法，并调查他们目前如何应对鸟瞰挑战。我们在讨论缺失差距和开放研究问题的讨论中得出结论，告知未来的研究途径。

我们引入了一种新型的自动驾驶汽车 - 一种自动推土机，有望以有效，健壮和安全的方式完成建筑工地任务。为了更好地处理推土机的路径规划并确保建筑工地的安全性，对象检测是感知任务中最关键的组成部分之一。在这项工作中，我们首先通过开车来收集建筑工地数据。然后，我们彻底分析数据以了解其分布。最后，对两个众所周知的对象检测模型进行了训练，他们的性能通过广泛的训练策略和超参数进行了基准测试。

我们提出了一种新的四管齐下的方法，在文献中首次建立消防员的情境意识。我们构建了一系列深度学习框架，彼此之叠，以提高消防员在紧急首次响应设置中进行的救援任务的安全性，效率和成功完成。首先，我们使用深度卷积神经网络（CNN）系统，以实时地分类和识别来自热图像的感兴趣对象。接下来，我们将此CNN框架扩展了对象检测，跟踪，分割与掩码RCNN框架，以及具有多模级自然语言处理（NLP）框架的场景描述。第三，我们建立了一个深入的Q学习的代理，免受压力引起的迷失方向和焦虑，能够根据现场消防环境中观察和存储的事实来制定明确的导航决策。最后，我们使用了一种低计算无监督的学习技术，称为张量分解，在实时对异常检测进行有意义的特征提取。通过这些临时深度学习结构，我们建立了人工智能系统的骨干，用于消防员的情境意识。要将设计的系统带入消防员的使用，我们设计了一种物理结构，其中处理后的结果被用作创建增强现实的投入，这是一个能够建议他们所在地的消防员和周围的关键特征，这对救援操作至关重要在手头，以及路径规划功能，充当虚拟指南，以帮助迷彩的第一个响应者恢复安全。当组合时，这四种方法呈现了一种新颖的信息理解，转移和综合方法，这可能会大大提高消防员响应和功效，并降低寿命损失。

One of the biggest challenges in machine learning is data collection. Training data is an important part since it determines how the model will behave. In object classification, capturing a large number of images per object and in different conditions is not always possible and can be very time-consuming and tedious. Accordingly, this work explores the creation of artificial images using a game engine to cope with limited data in the training dataset. We combine real and synthetic data to train the object classification engine, a strategy that has shown to be beneficial to increase confidence in the decisions made by the classifier, which is often critical in industrial setups. To combine real and synthetic data, we first train the classifier on a massive amount of synthetic data, and then we fine-tune it on real images. Another important result is that the amount of real images needed for fine-tuning is not very high, reaching top accuracy with just 12 or 24 images per class. This substantially reduces the requirements of capturing a great amount of real data.

The 1$^{\text{st}}$ Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi) 2023 focused on maritime computer vision for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and organized several subchallenges in this domain: (i) UAV-based Maritime Object Detection, (ii) UAV-based Maritime Object Tracking, (iii) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Segmentation and (iv) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Detection.

This report summarizes the main findings of the individual subchallenges and introduces a new benchmark, called SeaDronesSee Object Detection v2, which extends the previous benchmark by including more classes and footage. We provide statistical and qualitative analyses, and assess trends in the best-performing methodologies of over 130 submissions. The methods are summarized in the appendix. The datasets, evaluation code and the leaderboard are publicly available at https://seadronessee.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/macvi.

关键应用程序中机器学习（ML）组件的集成引入了软件认证和验证的新挑战。正在开发新的安全标准和技术准则，以支持基于ML的系统的安全性，例如ISO 21448 SOTIF用于汽车域名，并保证机器学习用于自主系统（AMLAS）框架。 SOTIF和AMLA提供了高级指导，但对于每个特定情况，必须将细节凿出来。我们启动了一个研究项目，目的是证明开放汽车系统中ML组件的完整安全案例。本文报告说，Smikk的安全保证合作是由行业级别的行业合作的，这是一个基于ML的行人自动紧急制动示威者，在行业级模拟器中运行。我们演示了AMLA在伪装上的应用，以在简约的操作设计域中，即，我们为其基于ML的集成组件共享一个完整的安全案例。最后，我们报告了经验教训，并在开源许可下为研究界重新使用的开源许可提供了傻笑和安全案例。

X-ray imaging technology has been used for decades in clinical tasks to reveal the internal condition of different organs, and in recent years, it has become more common in other areas such as industry, security, and geography. The recent development of computer vision and machine learning techniques has also made it easier to automatically process X-ray images and several machine learning-based object (anomaly) detection, classification, and segmentation methods have been recently employed in X-ray image analysis. Due to the high potential of deep learning in related image processing applications, it has been used in most of the studies. This survey reviews the recent research on using computer vision and machine learning for X-ray analysis in industrial production and security applications and covers the applications, techniques, evaluation metrics, datasets, and performance comparison of those techniques on publicly available datasets. We also highlight some drawbacks in the published research and give recommendations for future research in computer vision-based X-ray analysis.

面部检测是为了在图像中搜索面部的所有可能区域，并且如果有任何情况，则定位面部。包括面部识别，面部表情识别，面部跟踪和头部姿势估计的许多应用假设面部的位置和尺寸在图像中是已知的。近几十年来，研究人员从Viola-Jones脸上检测器创造了许多典型和有效的面部探测器到当前的基于CNN的CNN。然而，随着图像和视频的巨大增加，具有面部刻度的变化，外观，表达，遮挡和姿势，传统的面部探测器被挑战来检测野外面孔的各种“脸部。深度学习技术的出现带来了非凡的检测突破，以及计算的价格相当大的价格。本文介绍了代表性的深度学习的方法，并在准确性和效率方面提出了深度和全面的分析。我们进一步比较并讨论了流行的并挑战数据集及其评估指标。进行了几种成功的基于深度学习的面部探测器的全面比较，以使用两个度量来揭示其效率：拖鞋和延迟。本文可以指导为不同应用选择合适的面部探测器，也可以开发更高效和准确的探测器。

Recently, Smart Video Surveillance (SVS) systems have been receiving more attention among scholars and developers as a substitute for the current passive surveillance systems. These systems are used to make the policing and monitoring systems more efficient and improve public safety. However, the nature of these systems in monitoring the public's daily activities brings different ethical challenges. There are different approaches for addressing privacy issues in implementing the SVS. In this paper, we are focusing on the role of design considering ethical and privacy challenges in SVS. Reviewing four policy protection regulations that generate an overview of best practices for privacy protection, we argue that ethical and privacy concerns could be addressed through four lenses: algorithm, system, model, and data. As an case study, we describe our proposed system and illustrate how our system can create a baseline for designing a privacy perseverance system to deliver safety to society. We used several Artificial Intelligence algorithms, such as object detection, single and multi camera re-identification, action recognition, and anomaly detection, to provide a basic functional system. We also use cloud-native services to implement a smartphone application in order to deliver the outputs to the end users.

自治机器人目前是最受欢迎的人工智能问题之一，在过去十年中，从自动驾驶汽车和人形系统到交付机器人和无人机，这是一项最受欢迎的智能问题。部分问题是获得一个机器人，以模仿人类的感知，我们的视觉感，用诸如神经网络等数学模型用相机和大脑的眼睛替换眼睛。开发一个能够在没有人为干预的情况下驾驶汽车的AI和一个小型机器人在城市中递送包裹可能看起来像不同的问题，因此来自感知和视觉的观点来看，这两个问题都有几种相似之处。我们目前的主要解决方案通过使用计算机视觉技术，机器学习和各种算法来实现对环境感知的关注，使机器人理解环境或场景，移动，调整其轨迹并执行其任务（维护，探索，等。）无需人为干预。在这项工作中，我们从头开始开发一个小型自动车辆，能够仅使用视觉信息理解场景，通过工业环境导航，检测人员和障碍，或执行简单的维护任务。我们审查了基本问题的最先进问题，并证明了小规模采用的许多方法类似于来自特斯拉或Lyft等公司的真正自动驾驶汽车中使用的方法。最后，我们讨论了当前的机器人和自主驾驶状态以及我们在这一领域找到的技术和道德限制。

自2020年初以来，COVID-19的大流行对日常生活的许多方面产生了相当大的影响。在全球范围内已经采取了一系列不同的措施，以降低新感染的速度并管理国家卫生服务的压力。主要策略是通过优先考虑远程工作和教育来减少聚会和传播的潜力。当不可避免的聚会时，增强的手卫生和面膜的使用减少了病原体的扩散。这些特殊的措施提出了可靠的生物识别识别的挑战，例如用于面部，语音和手工生物识别技术。同时，新的挑战创造了新的机会和研究方向，例如对无约束的虹膜或眼周识别，基于无触摸的指纹和基于静脉的身份验证以及生物特征特征进行疾病检测的重新兴趣。本文概述了为解决这些挑战和新兴机会而进行的研究。
