AI Article Synopsis

  • HOG features are effective for computer vision due to their distinctiveness, robustness to lighting changes, and ease of computation.
  • A new method for detecting driver drowsiness is introduced, utilizing an improved version of HOG features based on binarized histograms for better performance.
  • The approach shows promising results with an 85.62% accuracy rate in driver drowsiness detection, outperforming many existing methods while maintaining efficiency.

Article Abstract

Due to their high distinctiveness, robustness to illumination and simple computation, Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features have attracted much attention and achieved remarkable success in many computer vision tasks. In this paper, an innovative framework for driver drowsiness detection is proposed, where an adaptive descriptor that possesses the virtue of distinctiveness, robustness and compactness is formed from an improved version of HOG features based on binarized histograms of shifted orientations. The final HOG descriptor generated from binarized HOG features is fed to the trained Naïve Bayes (NB) classifier to make the final driver drowsiness determination. Experimental results on the publicly available NTHU-DDD dataset verify that the proposed framework has the potential to be a strong contender for several state-of-the-art baselines, by achieving a competitive detection accuracy of 85.62%, without loss of efficiency or stability.

As many countries face rapid population aging, the supply of manpower for caregiving falls far short of the increasing demand for care. Therefore, if the care system can continuously recognize and track the care recipient and, at the first sign of a fall, promptly analyze the image to accurately assess the circumstances of the fall, it would be highly critical. This study integrates the mobility of drones in conjunction with the Dlib HOG algorithm and intelligent fall posture analysis, aiming to achieve real-time tracking of care recipients.

Hansenula mrakii killer toxin resistant gene 1 (HKR1) is an intronless, single-exon gene that encodes Hkr1, the signaling mucin of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. HKR1 overexpression confers S. cerevisiae cells with resistance to the HM-1 killer toxin produced by the killer yeast Hansenula mrakii (currently known as Cyberlindnera mrakii).

Haematopinus suis is an obligatory ectoparasite of the domestic pig, serving as a vector of several swine pathogens and posing great threats to the pig industry. The gut microbiome of lice is thought of an important mediator of their healthy physiology. However, there is a great paucity of lice-associated microbial communities' structure and function.
