In this paper, we demonstrate automatic vehicle detection and counting by processing data acquired using a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (-OTDR) distributed optical fiber sensor. The acquired data are processed using the Hough transform, which detects the lines in the images formed by representing the acquired data in the space-time domain. A rough classification of the vehicles (heavy versus light vehicles) is also proposed, based on the amplitude of the vibration data along the detected lines. The method has been experimentally tested by performing -OTDR measurements along a telecommunication fiber cable running in a buried conduit along the state road SS18 (province of Salerno, Italy), opened to normal traffic. Comparison with ground-truth data, manually generated by inspecting video recordings, allowed us to estimate a vehicle detection success rate up to 73%, while heavy vehicles were fully detected.

In recent years, the wine industry has been researching how to improve wine quality along the production value chain. In this scenario, we present here a new tool, MicroVi, a cost-effective chip-sized microscopy solution to detect and count yeast cells in wine samples. We demonstrate that this novel microscopy setup is able to measure the same type of samples as an optical microscopy system, but with smaller size equipment and with automated cell count configuration.

Straightness is the basic measurement parameter in machining, and the traditional straightness measurement methods such as light gap method, table method, et al., have extremely low measurement efficiency and cannot achieve online real-time high-precision detection. Our research group has proposed a machine vision online detection based on 10 industrial camera arrays, which can obtain the surface profile straight line of the sucker rod by collecting the edge profile image of the sucker rod and performing morphological transformation.

Chronic insomnia is one of the most common health problems among veterans and can significantly impact health, function, and quality of life. Brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI), an adaptation of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), was developed to help increase access to care outside of specialty settings. However, training providers alone is rarely sufficient, and implementation strategies are needed for successful uptake, adoption, and sustainable delivery of care.

This study proposed a robust lane-keeping algorithm designed for snowy road conditions, utilizing a snow tire track detection model based on machine learning. The proposed algorithm is structured into two primary modules: a snow tire track detector and a lane center estimator. The snow tire track detector utilizes YOLOv5, trained on custom datasets generated from public videos captured on snowy roads.

The progress of 3D instance segmentation techniques has made it essential for several applications, such as augmented reality, autonomous driving, and robotics. Traditional methods usually have challenges with complex indoor scenes made of multiple objects with different occlusions and orientations. In this work, the authors present an innovative model that integrates a new adaptive n-shifted shuffle (ANSS) attention mechanism with the Generalized Hough Transform (GHT) for robust 3D instance segmentation of indoor scenes.
