Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern AI techniques have been dramatically developed in recent decades and widely applied in a variety of application areas, permeating every aspect of a person’s daily life. One important application area of modern AI techniques is object detection, tracking, and abnormal detection. A variety of signal processing and machine learning—especially deep learning—technologies have been developed for object detection and the tracking and detection of abnormalities based on different sensor modality recordings (including but not limited to vision sensors, acoustic sensors, accelerometers/gyroscope sensors, etc.) in different areas (such as healthcare, agriculture, robotics, energy, surveillance, and so on).

The main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight emerging applications and address recent breakthroughs in modern signal processing, machine learning, and deep learning techniques for object detection/tracking and abnormal detection. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • ML/DL algorithm development and applications for object detection/tracking and abnormal detection in healthcare/robotics/agriculture/surveillance/energy;
  • Multimodal information fusion for object detection/tracking and abnormal detection;
  • Signal processing algorithms for object tracking;
  • Combining application specific domain knowledge and data-driven approaches for object detection/tracking and abnormal detection;
  • Uncertainty estimations for object detection/tracking and abnormal detection algorithms;
  • Multiple-sensor-based object detection/tracking and abnormal detection.

Instance segmentation of sonar images is an effective method for underwater target recognition. However, the mismatch among positioning accuracy found by boxIoU and classification confidence, which is used as NMS score in current instance segmentation models; and the high annotation cost of sonar images, are two major problems in the task. To tackle these problems, in this paper, we present a novel instance segmentation method called Mask-Box Scoring R-CNN and embedded it in our proposed deep active learning framework. For the mismatch problem between boxIoU and NMS score, Mask-Box Scoring R-CNN uses a boxIoU head to predict the quality of the bounding boxes. We amend the non-maximum suppression (NMS) score predicted by BoxIoU to preserve high-quality bounding boxes in inference flow. To deal with the annotating problem, we propose a triplets-measure-based active learning (TBAL) method and a balanced-sampling method applicable for deep learning. The TBAL method evaluates the amount of information of unlabeled samples from the aspects of classification confidence, positioning accuracy, and mask quality. The balanced-sampling method selects hard samples from the dataset to train the model to improve performance. The experimental results show that Mask-Box Scoring R-CNN achieves improvements of 1% in boxAP and 1.3% boxAP on our sonar image dataset compared with Mask Scoring R-CNN and Mask R-CNN, respectively. The active learning framework with TBAL and balanced sampling can achieve a competitive performance with less labeled samples than other frameworks, which can better facilitate underwater target recognition.
