Research on Traffic Sign Detection Algorithm Based on Improved SSD in Complex Environments

Abstract In complex traffic sign environments, detection challenges include uneven size distribution, insufficient valid information, and difficulties in identifying targets under resource constraints, leading to missed and false detections. This study proposes an enhanced lightweight traffic sign detection algorithm based on SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector). By replacing the original backbone network with MobileNetV2, the model is streamlined to have fewer parameters, which improves generalization in complex environments. This modification significantly boosts the recall rate, achieving a better balance between precision and recall. By introducing the FPN(Feature Pyramid Network) combined with the CBAM(Convolutional Block Attention Module) attention mechanism, the detailed and semantic information between deep and shallow layers is fully integrated, reducing the loss of feature information, thus enhancing the strengthening of key information of traffic signs and the adaptability to different scales of traffic signs. Finally, by integrating the cross-attention mechanism, the algorithm's anti-interference ability in complex environments is improved, and the positioning accuracy of traffic signs is enhanced by capturing the dependency between different positions. Through ablation experiments and comparative experiments on a public traffic sign dataset, our improved SSD algorithm achieved an mAP of 89.97%. Compared with the original algorithm, the mAP increased by 12.41%, the recall rate increased by 18.38%, and the sum of precision and recall F1 increased by 14.6%. These improvements significantly enhance the performance of traffic sign detection in complex environments, thereby meeting the performance requirements of traffic sign detection.

Brain tumor detection using a MobileNetV2-SSD model with modified feature pyramid network levels

Brain tumors, a subset of these malignancies, demand accurate and efficient diagnosis. Traditional methods use non-invasive medical imaging like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Although necessary for diagnosis, manual brain MRI picture segmentation is tedious and time-consuming. Using deep learning is a promising solution. This study proposes an innovative approach for brain tumor detection, focusing on meningioma tumors. Utilizing threshold-based segmentation, the MobileNetV2 architecture, a modified feature pyramid network (FPN), and single shot MultiBox detector (SSD), our model achieves precise localization and object detection. Pre-processing techniques such as grayscale conversion, histogram equalization, and Gaussian filtering enhance the MRI image quality. Morphological operations and thresholding facilitate tumor segmentation. Data augmentation and a meticulous dataset division aid in model generalization. The architecture combines MobileNetV2 as a feature extractor, SSD for object detection, and FPN for detecting small objects. Modifications, including lowering the minimum FPN level, enhance small object detection accuracy. The proposed model achieved a recall value of around 98% and a precision value of around 89%. Additionally, the proposed model achieved approximately 93% on both the dice similarity coefficient (DSC) value and the index of similarity. Based on the promising results, our research holds significant advancements for the field of medical imaging and tumor detection.

Detection of pulmonary nodules in chest radiographs: novel cost function for effective network training with purely synthesized datasets.

Many large radiographic datasets of lung nodules are available, but the small and hard-to-detect nodules are rarely validated by computed tomography. Such difficult nodules are crucial for training nodule detection methods. This lack of difficult nodules for training can be addressed by artificial nodule synthesis algorithms, which can create artificially embedded nodules. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel cost function for training networks to detect such lesions. Embedding artificial lesions in healthy medical images is effective when positive cases are insufficient for network training. Although this approach provides both positive (lesion-embedded) images and the corresponding negative (lesion-free) images, no known methods effectively use these pairs for training. This paper presents a novel cost function for segmentation-based detection networks when positive-negative pairs are available. Based on the classic U-Net, new terms were added to the original Dice loss for reducing false positives and the contrastive learning of diseased regions in the image pairs. The experimental network was trained and evaluated, respectively, on 131,072 fully synthesized pairs of images simulating lung cancer and real chest X-ray images from the Japanese Society of Radiological Technology dataset. The proposed method outperformed RetinaNet and a single-shot multibox detector. The sensitivities were 0.688 and 0.507 when the number of false positives per image was 0.2, respectively, with and without fine-tuning under the leave-one-case-out setting. To our knowledge, this is the first study in which a method for detecting pulmonary nodules in chest X-ray images was evaluated on a real clinical dataset after being trained on fully synthesized images. The synthesized dataset is available at https://zenodo.org/records/10648433 .

AlertTrap: A Study on Object Detection in Remote Insect Trap Monitoring System Using on the Edge Deep Learning Platform

Fruit flies are one of the most harmful insect species to fruit yields. In AlertTrap, implementation of Single-Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) architecture with different state-of-the-art backbone feature extractors such as MobileNetV1 and MobileNetV2 appears to be potential solutions for the real-time detection problem. SSD-MobileNetV1 and SSD-MobileNetV2 perform well and result in AP at 0.5 of 0.957 and 1.0, respectively. You Only Look Once (YOLO) v4-tiny outperforms the SSD family with 1.0 in AP at 0.5; however, its throughput velocity is considerably slower, which shows SSD models are better candidates for real-time implementation. We also tested the models with synthetic test sets simulating expected environmental disturbances. The YOLOv4-tiny had better tolerance to these disturbances than the SSD models. The Raspberry Pi system successfully gathered environmental data and pest counts, sending them via email over 4 G. However, running the full YOLO version in real time on Raspberry Pi is not feasible, indicating the need for a lighter object detection algorithm for future research. Among model candidates, YOLOv4-tiny generally performs best, with SSD MobileNetV2 also comparable and sometimes better, especially in scenarios with synthetic disturbances. SSD models excel in processing time, enabling real-time, high-accuracy detection. TFLITE versions of SSD models also process faster than their inference graph on TPU hardware, suggesting real-time implementation on edge devices like the Google Coral Dev Board. The results demonstrate the feasibility of real-time implementation of the fruit fly detection models on edge devices with high performance. In addition, YOLOv4-tiny is shown to be the most probable candidate because YOLOv4-tiny demonstrates a robust testing performance toward citrus fruit fly detection. Nevertheless, SSD-MobileNetV2 will be the better model, considering the inference time.

Abstract: Object Detection plays a significant role in today’s era. Object detection plays a crucial role in various applications such as surveillance, medical images, and autonomous vehicles. The primary goal of object detection is to accurately detect the boundaries of objects of interest and classify those objects into predefined categories. In this research paper, we enhanced an object detection technique i.e. Single shot multibox detector (SSD) which is one of the top object detection technique in both aspect accuracy and speed. SSD is an object detection model that predicts object bounding boxes and class probabilities in a single forward pass. It uses multiple feature maps at different scales to cater to various object sizes and aspect ratios.The main contribution of this research is to enhance the accuracy, recall time, precision time and mean average time (mAP). The performance of this object detection technique is improved as the number of feature maps is increases, improved backbone, and enhanced activation functions, additional layers for enhanced detection and loss function modifications. An accuracy of 0.75 indicates that the model correctly predicts the class label for approximately 75% of all objects in the dataset. The enhanced model showed these results: a precision score of 0.75 implies that 75% of the objects identified by the model as positive (detected objects) are indeed true positives. A recall of 0.73 indicates that the model successfully identifies and detects 73% of all positive instances in the dataset. A mAP of 75.25 signifies the average precision across all classes, computed at different IOU thresholds (e.g., 0.5, 0.75).
