Though researchers have made great progress in video-based violence detection, it is still a challenging task to realize accurate violence detection in real time, especially with limited computing resources. In this paper, we propose a lightweight 2D CNN-based violence detection scheme, which takes advantage of frame-grouping to reduce data redundancy greatly and, meanwhile, enable short-term temporal modeling. In particular, a lightweight 2D CNN, named improved EfficientNet-B0, is constructed by integrating our proposed bi-directional long-term motion attention (Bi-LTMA) module and a temporal shift module (TSM) into the original EfficientNet-B0. The Bi-LTMA takes both spatial and channel dimensions into consideration and captures motion features in both forward and backward directions. The TSM is adopted to realize temporal feature interaction. Moreover, an auxiliary classifier is designed and employed to improve the classification capability and generalization performance of the proposed model. Experiment results demonstrate that the computational cost of the proposed model is 1.21 GFLOPS. Moreover, the proposed scheme achieves accuracies of 100%, 98.5%, 91.67%, and 90.25% on the Movie Fight dataset, the Hockey Fight dataset, the Surveillance Camera dataset, and the RWF-2000 dataset, respectively. <a href="/2076-3417/14/11/4895">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/applsci/special_issues/9A8WPOBT65 ">Intelligent Detection and Identification System Based on Computer Vision Technology</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/14/11/4895/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1409202"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1409202"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1409202" data-cycle-prev="#prev1409202" data-cycle-progressive="#images1409202" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g001-550.jpg?1717582593" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1409202" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g002-550.jpg?1717582594'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g003-550.jpg?1717582594'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g004-550.jpg?1717582595'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g005-550.jpg?1717582595'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g006-550.jpg?1717582596'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g007-550.jpg?1717582597'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g008-550.jpg?1717582598'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1409202-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g009-550.jpg?1717582600'><p>Figure 9</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1409202-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-14-04895/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-14-04895-g001-550.jpg?1717582593" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>The pipeline of the proposed lightweight violence detection scheme.

In such a complex environment for detecting pole-shaped obstacles, it is easy to lose the feature information. A high rate of leakage detection, false positives, and measurement errors are generated as a result. (2) Methods: The first part of this paper utilizes the improved YOLOv5 algorithm to detect and classify pole-shaped obstacles. Then, the identified target frame information is combined with binocular stereo matching to obtain more accurate distance information. (3) Results: The experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves a mean average precision (mAP) of 97.4% for detecting pole-shaped obstacles, which is 3.1% higher than the original model. The image inference time is only 1.6 ms, which is 1.8 ms faster than the original algorithm. Additionally, the model size is only 19.0 MB. Furthermore, the range error of this system is less than 7% within the range of 3–15 m. (4) Conclusions: Therefore, the algorithm not only achieves real-time and accurate identification and classification but also ensures precise measurement within a specific range. Meanwhile, the model is lightweight and better suited for deploying sensing systems. <a href="/2076-3417/13/23/12617">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/applsci/special_issues/9A8WPOBT65 ">Intelligent Detection and Identification System Based on Computer Vision Technology</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/13/23/12617/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1286249"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1286249"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1286249" data-cycle-prev="#prev1286249" data-cycle-progressive="#images1286249" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g001-550.jpg?1700734751" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1286249" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g002-550.jpg?1700734752'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g003-550.jpg?1700734753'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g004-550.jpg?1700734754'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g005-550.jpg?1700734757'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g006-550.jpg?1700734759'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g007-550.jpg?1700734762'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g008-550.jpg?1700734764'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g009-550.jpg?1700734769'><p>Figure 9</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='9' data-target='article-1286249-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-12617/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-12617-g010-550.jpg?1700734771'><p>Figure 10</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1286249-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline;

To solve this problem, a PyCharm-integrated development environment was used to study image processing and recognition algorithms for identifying components inside the packaging bag of the HN-3 arterial blood sample collector. The machine vision system was used to capture images of the packaging bags of the HN-3 Arterial blood sample collector. Template matching was employed to extract the packaging ROI, and the threshold segmentation method in the HSV color model was used to extract material features based on the packaging ROI. Morphological processing algorithms such as dilation or erosion were used to enhance the connectivity of the extracted features. The existence of components was determined by setting thresholds for the connected domain area or length. The results of the recognition experiment show that the false detection rate is 0.2%, the missed detection rate is 0%, and the average image processing time per product is no more than 39 ms. Compared with manual recognition methods, the efficiency and accuracy have been improved by 36.5 times and 2.3%, respectively. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the image processing algorithm. <a href="/2076-3417/13/14/8450">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom:

Micro-X-ray computed tomography (μXCT) using brilliant synchrotron light sources now has the spatial and temporal resolution for real-time visualization of phenomena in three-dimensional cellular structures. However, the tradeoff for speed includes the loss of intensity contrast between different types of materials within the imaged structure, such as cell wall and air in wood. This loss of contrast prevents traditional histogram-based segmentation methods from being used effectively. A new convolutional neural network (CNN) approach was therefore developed to segment fast μXCT images of wood into cell wall and air volumes. The fast μXCT and segmentation were demonstrated in the study of moisture swelling in loblolly pine (<i>Pinus taeda</i>) earlywood and latewood cellular structures conditioned at 0%, 33%, 75%, and 95% relative humidity (RH). The CNN segmentation results had a mean intersection over union (IoU) metric accuracy of 96%. Initial analysis of the swelling in the latewood revealed cell walls swelled about 25% when conditioned from 0% to 95% RH. Additionally, the widths of ray cell lumina in the transverse plane of latewood could be observed to increase at higher RH. The segmentation method presented here will facilitate future quantitative analyses in in situ μXCT studies of wood and other similar cellular materials. <a href="/2076-3417/13/14/8146">Full article</a> </div> </div> <div class="belongsTo" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> (This article belongs to the Special Issue <a href=" /journal/applsci/special_issues/9A8WPOBT65 ">Intelligent Detection and Identification System Based on Computer Vision Technology</a>)<br/> </div> <a href="#" class="abstract-figures-show" data-counterslink = "https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/13/14/8146/show" ><span >►</span><span style=" display: none;">▼</span> Show Figures </a><div class="abstract-image-preview "><div class="arrow left-arrow" id="prev1193113"><i class="fa fa-caret-left"></i></div><div class="arrow right-arrow" id="next1193113"><i class="fa fa-caret-right"></i></div><div class="absgraph cycle-slideshow manual" data-cycle-fx="scrollHorz" data-cycle-timeout="0" data-cycle-next="#next1193113" data-cycle-prev="#prev1193113" data-cycle-progressive="#images1193113" data-cycle-slides=">div" data-cycle-log="false"><div class='openpopupgallery cycle-slide' data-imgindex='0' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" data-src="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g001-550.jpg?1689239540" alt="" style="border: 0;"><p>Figure 1</p></div><script id="images1193113" type="text/cycle" data-cycle-split="---"><div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='1' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g002-550.jpg?1689239520'><p>Figure 2</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='2' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g003-550.jpg?1689239517'><p>Figure 3</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='3' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g004-550.jpg?1689239537'><p>Figure 4</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='4' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g005-550.jpg?1689239526'><p>Figure 5</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='5' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g006-550.jpg?1689239531'><p>Figure 6</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='6' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g007-550.jpg?1689239542'><p>Figure 7</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='7' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g008-550.jpg?1689239533'><p>Figure 8</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='8' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g009-550.jpg?1689239524'><p>Figure 9</p></div> --- <div class='openpopupgallery' data-imgindex='9' data-target='article-1193113-popup'><span class="helper"></span><img src='https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g010-550.jpg?1689239528'><p>Figure 10</p></div></script></div></div><div id="article-1193113-popup" class="popupgallery" style="display: inline; line-height: 200%"><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g001-550.jpg?1689239540" title=" <strong>Figure 1</strong><br/> <p>Illustration of softwood cellular structure. Softwood is an anisotropic cellular material defined by the radial, tangential, and longitudinal directions [<a href="#B10-applsci-13-08146" class="html-bibr">10</a>]. It is mainly composed of longitudinal tracheids and ray cells. Pits are small openings between cells that facilitate intercellular water transport. A single longitudinal tracheid can be thought of as a hollow tube with the open space called a lumen. The cell wall is a multilamellar structure with secondary cell wall layers that are nanofiber-reinforced composites consisting of helically wound cellulose microfibrils embedded in a matrix of amorphous cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin [<a href="#B6-applsci-13-08146" class="html-bibr">6</a>]. Wood polymers are hygroscopic, and as a hygroscopic material wood’s properties and performance depend on the amount of water in the wood [<a href="#B7-applsci-13-08146" class="html-bibr">7</a>]. Growth rings consist of earlywood and latewood layers. Latewood is denser than earlywood because its tracheids have smaller lumina and thicker cell walls.</p> <strong style='display: block; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 18px;'><a style='color: #fff' href='/2076-3417/13/14/8146'>Full article</a></strong> "></a><a href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/applsci/applsci-13-08146/article_deploy/html/images/applsci-13-08146-g002-550.jpg?1689239520" title=" <strong>Figure 2</strong><br/> <p>Custom-built relative humidity (RH) chamber for APS beamline 2-BM-B.
