Hardhat-Wearing Detection Based on a Lightweight Convolutional Neural Network with Multi-Scale Features and a Top-Down Module.

ABSTRACT: Construction sites are dangerous due to the complex interaction of workers with equipment, building materials, vehicles, etc. As a kind of protective gear, hardhats are crucial for the safety of people on construction sites. Therefore, it is necessary for administrators to identify the people that do not wear hardhats and send out alarms to them. As manual inspection is labor-intensive and expensive, it is ideal to handle this issue by a real-time automatic detector. As such, in this paper, we present an end-to-end convolutional neural network to solve the problem of detecting if workers are wearing hardhats. The proposed method focuses on localizing a person's head and deciding whether they are wearing a hardhat. The MobileNet model is employed as the backbone network, which allows the detector to run in real time. A top-down module is leveraged to enhance the feature-extraction process. Finally, heads with and without hardhats are detected on multi-scale features using a residual-block-based prediction module. Experimental results on a dataset that we have established show that the proposed method could produce an average precision of 87.4%/89.4% at 62 frames per second for detecting people without/with a hardhat worn on the head.

Project description:Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which automatically learn features from raw data to approximate functions, are being increasingly applied to the end-to-end analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, especially for decoding brain states in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Nevertheless, CNNs introduce a large number of trainable parameters, may require long training times, and lack in interpretability of learned features. The aim of this study is to propose a CNN design for P300 decoding with emphasis on its lightweight design while guaranteeing high performance, on the effects of different training strategies, and on the use of post-hoc techniques to explain network decisions. The proposed design, named MS-EEGNet, learned temporal features in two different timescales (i.e., multi-scale, MS) in an efficient and optimized (in terms of trainable parameters) way, and was validated on three P300 datasets. The CNN was trained using different strategies (within-participant and within-session, within-participant and cross-session, leave-one-subject-out, transfer learning) and was compared with several state-of-the-art (SOA) algorithms. Furthermore, variants of the baseline MS-EEGNet were analyzed to evaluate the impact of different hyper-parameters on performance. Lastly, saliency maps were used to derive representations of the relevant spatio-temporal features that drove CNN decisions. MS-EEGNet was the lightest CNN compared with the tested SOA CNNs, despite its multiple timescales, and significantly outperformed the SOA algorithms. Post-hoc hyper-parameter analysis confirmed the benefits of the innovative aspects of MS-EEGNet. Furthermore, MS-EEGNet did benefit from transfer learning, especially using a low number of training examples, suggesting that the proposed approach could be used in BCIs to accurately decode the P300 event while reducing calibration times. Representations derived from the saliency maps matched the P300 spatio-temporal distribution, further validating the proposed decoding approach. This study, by specifically addressing the aspects of lightweight design, transfer learning, and interpretability, can contribute to advance the development of deep learning algorithms for P300-based BCIs.

Project description:In this study, we developed a multi-scale Convolutional neural network based Automated hippocampal subfield Segmentation Toolbox (CAST) for automated segmentation of hippocampal subfields. Although training CAST required approximately three days on a single workstation with a high-quality GPU card, CAST can segment a new subject in less than 1 min even with GPU acceleration disabled, thus this method is more time efficient than current automated methods and manual segmentation. This toolbox is highly flexible with either a single modality or multiple modalities and can be easily set up to be trained with a researcher's unique data. A 3D multi-scale deep convolutional neural network is the key algorithm used in the toolbox. The main merit of multi-scale images is the capability to capture more global structural information from down-sampled images without dramatically increasing memory and computational burden. The original images capture more local information to refine the boundary between subfields. Residual learning is applied to alleviate the vanishing gradient problem and improve the performance with a deeper network. We applied CAST with the same settings on two datasets, one 7T dataset (the UMC dataset) with only the T2 image and one 3T dataset (the MNI dataset) with both T1 and T2 images available. The segmentation accuracy of both CAST and the state-of-the-art automated method ASHS, in terms of the dice similarity coefficient (DSC), were comparable. CAST significantly improved the reliability of segmenting small subfields, such as CA2, CA3, and the entorhinal cortex (ERC), in terms of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Both ASHS and manual segmentation process some subfields (e.g. CA2 and ERC) with high DSC values but low ICC values, consequently increasing the difficulty of judging segmentation quality. CAST produces very consistent DSC and ICC values, with a maximal discrepancy of 0.01 (DSC-ICC) across all subfields. The pre-trained model, source code, and settings for the CAST toolbox are publicly available.
