Real-time detection of violent behavior through surveillance technologies is increasingly important for public safety. This study tackles the challenge of automatically distinguishing violent from non-violent activities in continuous video streams. Traditional surveillance depends on human monitoring, which is time-consuming and error-prone, highlighting the need for intelligent systems that detect abnormal behaviors accurately with low computational cost. A key difficulty lies in the ambiguity of defining violent actions and the reliance on large annotated datasets, which are costly to produce. Many existing approaches also demand high computational resources, limiting real-time deployment... More >

The Generalized Intersection over Union (GIoU) and the Manhattan distance between axis-aligned boxes represented either as corner coordinates or their center and size, are extended to accept a range of bounding boxes as ground truth, producing the metrics RIoU, $R_1$ and $R^t_1$, respectively. In the context of Table Detection it is shown that this box relaxation procedure allows training object detection models with partial or inexact annotations. For the Table Structure Recognition task, several code improvements to Microsoft's open-source Table Transformer increase all $\mathrm{GriTS}$ metrics on PubTables-1M, with the overall accuracy increasing from 0.8326 to 0.8433. Then box relaxation... More >

Lung diseases such as COVID-19, pneumonia, and tuberculosis remain major public health challenges worldwide, emphasizing the urgent demand for accurate and efficient diagnostic methods. This research explores the use of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based framework for binary classification of chest X-ray images to detect abnormalities. The methodology incorporates preprocessing techniques such as image resizing, normalization, data augmentation, and grayscale transformation to improve input data quality. CNN architecture comprising convolutional, pooling, fully connected, and dropout layers were trained and evaluated on publicly available datasets. The model attained a test accuracy... More >
