The challenge of evaluating deep learning-based object detection models in complex traffic scenarios, characterized by changing weather and lighting conditions, is addressed in this study. Real-world testing proves time and cost-intensive, leading to the proposal of a Video Frame Feeding (VFF) approach as a solution. The proposed Video Frame Feeding approach acts as a bridge between object detection models and simulated environments, enabling the generation of realistic scenarios. Leveraging the CarMaker (CM) tool to simulate realistic scenarios, the framework utilizes a virtual camera to capture the simulated environment and feed video frames to an object identification model. The VFF algorithm, with automated validation using simulated ground truth data, enhances detection accuracy to over 95% at 30 frames per second within 130 meters. Employing the You Only Look Once (YOLO) version 4 and the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark dataset, the study assesses a traffic signboard identification model across various climatic conditions. Notably, the VFF algorithm improves accuracy by 2% to 5% in challenging scenarios like foggy days and nights. This innovative approach not only identifies object detection issues efficiently but also offers a versatile solution applicable to any object detection model, promising improved dataset quality and robustness for enhanced model performance.

Residential burglary is a severe crime that affects millions of residents each year. It is critical to analyze patterns of human behavior in surveillance video data and discover suspicious actions to avoid and deter this crime. However, the complexity and diversity of human behavior make this undertaking challenging. In this research, we provide a unique system that uses advanced deep learning algorithms to detect abnormal actions that signal burglar attempts at time intervals. We use the state-of-the-art object identification method YOLOv7 to detect an object and its trajectories in video data. We additionally extract the time intervals between the object's movements and utilize them as a categorization feature. Based on the COCO dataset and three videos of distinct scenarios: abnormal activity, burglary attempt, and false alarm, we evaluate our system with earlier versions of YOLO and additional detection methods. On the COCO dataset, our method outperforms all other models with a precision of 93.9

The malicious images in dataset after incorporating segmentation have achieved 95% of accuracy in CNN architecture and 97% with Mal_CNN.

Autonomous driving faces a significant challenge in recognizing traffic signs in adverse weather conditions. This research aims to address this challenge while also reducing the cost of on-road testing and validation. Current solutions for detecting traffic signs under various driving and weather conditions are deemed ineffective and costly. To overcome these limitations, the proposed method leverages six different weather scenarios to utilize real-time sensory inputs. By integrating YoLov5 vision with a virtual simulation setup, the approach can analyze these inputs and identify traffic signs in a simulated environment using real-captured videos. The model undergoes rigorous testing and validation in a controlled environment, employing a road model and vehicle model to simulate the six different weather conditions. The results demonstrate the success of the approach across all testing conditions, with YoLov5 vision exhibiting a significantly improved level of accuracy in detecting traffic signs, showing an average improvement of 5.56% for day, 7.32% for foggy day, 5.88% for cloudy, 4.55% for dusk, 6.25% for foggy night, and 2.17% for night conditions. Additionally, the research findings highlight the cost-effectiveness of the proposed method compared to existing solutions, emphasizing its potential for enhancing the safety and efficiency of autonomous driving systems.

We present an extensive driver assistance system capable of executing two essential tasks. The first module is used in assisting the driver with road safety alerts (RSA); it scans the road environment and detects any significant entities including but not limited to vehicles, pedestrians, and traffic lights. Further, alerts are issued when the estimated physical distance from detected entities is less than a set threshold. For this module, we also propose the usage of a compute-accelerated Swin Transformer model and evaluate its efficacy against other state-of-the-art models by considering relevant metrics like inference time and mAP. The second module pertains to driver alertness detection (DAD) for identifying signs of fatigue. It scans the driver’s face and monitors a live video feed to ensure that the driver shows no signs of micro-sleep. When either module detects a behavioural anomaly, it will alert the driver with text-based messages and non-disruptive audio messages. We propose such a state-of-the-art safety system being integrated into the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS’s) seen in modern vehicles.

Lately, the usage of Information system and strategic tools in the domain of medical science is constantly growing. The liver is an Exocrine Gland that helps in the digestion process, especially for fats along with altering the pH of food due to its alkaline nature. One of the most common signs for the majority of liver disease is hyperbilirubinemia which is very difficult to identify at an early stage. While certain diseases such as obstructive Jaundice and acute viral hepatitis present themselves with an early rise of bilirubin along with yellowish discoloration of the skin, many other diseases don’t usually present themselves with an early rise of serum bilirubin or skin discoloration because of which sometimes liver disease are overlooked or misdiagnosed in primary level. However, serum bilirubin is not the only way to diagnose liver disease because it is not specific. The most specific way to diagnose liver disease is by liver function test. With the help of the detection of the enzyme level, we can identify and confirm the presence of liver disease and intensity of liver damage when coupled with suitable imaging modalities like Ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI scan. The dataset contains patient parameters such as Age, Sex, Total Proteins, Alkaline Phosphatase, Alanine Phosphatase, Total Proteins, Total Bilirubin, Albumin, Albumin and Globulin Ratio, Direct Bilirubin, and the Result. We are using Binary Classification which is basically classifying the element of given set into two given sets i.e., Patient suffering from Liver disease or not. We will try to use an Ensemble Based Approach to find the best prediction accuracy.

Massive growth in the big data makes difficult to analyse and retrieve the useful information from the set of available data’s. Statistical analysis: Existing approaches cannot guarantee an efficient retrieval of data from the database. In the existing work stratified sampling is used to partition the tables in terms of static variables. However k means clustering algorithm cannot guarantees an efficient retrieval where the choosing centroid in the large volume of data would be difficult. And less knowledge about the static variable might leads to the less efficient partitioning of tables. Findings: This problem is overcome in the proposed methodology by introducing the FCM clustering instead of k means clustering which can cluster the large volume of data which are similar in nature. Stratification problem is overcome by introducing the post stratification approach which will leads to efficient selection of static variable. Improvements: This methodology leads to an efficient retrieval process in terms of user query within less time and more accuracy.
