Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Vision plays the most important role in the cognitive system of humans. Constructing an intelligent vision system that can achieve part or even all of the capabilities of the human vision system is one of the ultimate goals of many research areas such as computer vison, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science.  In recent years, based on the significant amount of internet data, data-driven methods have greatly advanced the frontiers of intelligent vision, although it is not yet as powerful as the human vision system.

The aim of this Special Issue is to explore recent advances in visual perception in relation to the fields of computer vision and cognitive science. This Special Issue will bring together leading researchers and developers to present their latest research on algorithm design, system frameworks, and cognitive theories for developing intelligent vision systems. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not are limited to) the following:

  • Computer vision;
  • Robot vision;
  • Visual perception;
  • Scene understanding;

The suspension parameters of heavy-duty freight trains can deviate from their initial design values due to material aging and performance degradation. While traditional multibody dynamics simulation models are usually designed for fixed working conditions, it is difficult for them to adequately analyze the safety status of the vehicle–line system in actual operation. To address this issue, this research provides a suspension parameter estimation technique based on CNN-GRU. Firstly, a prototype C80 train was utilized to build a simulation model for multibody dynamics. Secondly, six key suspension parameters for wheel–rail force were selected using the Sobol global sensitivity analysis method. Then, a CNN-GRU proxy model was constructed, with the actually measured wheel–rail forces as a reference. By combining this approach with NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II), the key suspension parameters were calculated. Finally, the estimated parameter values were applied into the vehicle–line coupled multibody dynamical model and validated. The results show that, with the corrected dynamical model, the relative errors of the simulated wheel–rail force are reduced from 9.28%, 6.24% and 18.11% to 7%, 4.52% and 10.44%, corresponding to straight, curve, and long and steep uphill conditions, respectively. The wheel–rail force simulation’s precision is increased, indicating that the proposed method is effective in estimating the suspension parameters for heavy-duty freight trains. Full article

In agriculture, the timely and accurate assessment of fruit ripeness is crucial to optimizing harvest planning and reduce waste. In this article, we explore the integration of two cutting-edge deep learning models, YOLOv9 and Swin Transformer, to develop a complex model for detecting strawberry ripeness. Trained and tested on a specially curated dataset, our model achieves a mean precision (mAP) of 87.3% by using the metric intersection over union (IoU) at a threshold of 0.5. This outperforms the model using YOLOv9 alone, which achieves an mAP of 86.1%. Our model also demonstrated improved precision and recall, with precision rising to 85.3% and recall rising to 84.0%, reflecting its ability to accurately and consistently detect different stages of strawberry ripeness.

Identifying patient posture while they are lying in bed is an important task in medical applications such as monitoring a patient after a surgical intervention, sleep supervision to identify behavioral and physiological markers, or for bedsore prevention. An acceptable strategy to identify the patient’s position is the classification of images created from a grid of pressure sensors located in the bed. These samples can be arranged based on supervised learning methods. Usually, image conditioning is required before images are loaded into a learning method to increase classification accuracy. However, continuous monitoring of a person requires large amounts of time and computational resources if complex pre-processing algorithms are used. So, the problem is to classify the image posture of patients with different weights, heights, and positions by using minimal sample conditioning for a specific supervised learning method. In this work, it is proposed to identify the patient posture from pressure sensor images by using well-known and simple conditioning techniques and selecting the optimal texture descriptors for the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. This is in order to obtain the best classification and to avoid image over-processing in the conditioning stage for the SVM. The experimental stages are performed with the color models Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) and Hue, Saturation, and Value (HSV). The results show an increase in accuracy from 86.9% to 92.9% and in kappa value from 0.825 to 0.904 using image conditioning with histogram equalization and a median filter, respectively.
