Although there are well established object detection methods based on static images, their application to video data on a frame by frame basis faces two shortcomings: (i) lack of computational efficiency due to redundancy across image frames or by not using a temporal and spatial correlation of features across image frames, and (ii) lack of robustness to real-world conditions such as motion blur and occlusion. Since the introduction of the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC) in 2015, a growing number of methods have appeared in the literature on video object detection, many of which have utilized deep learning models. The aim of this paper is to provide a review of these papers on video object detection. An overview of the existing datasets for video object detection together with commonly used evaluation metrics is first presented. Video object detection methods are then categorized and a description of each of them is stated. Two comparison tables are provided to see their differences in terms of both accuracy and computational efficiency. Finally, some future trends in video object detection to address the challenges involved are noted.

This paper addresses real-time moving object detection with high accuracy in high-resolution video frames. A previously developed framework for moving object detection is modified to enable real-time processing of high-resolution images. First, a computationally efficient method is employed, which detects moving regions on a resized image while maintaining moving regions on the original image with mapping coordinates. Second, a light backbone deep neural network in place of a more complex one is utilized. Third, the focal loss function is employed to alleviate the imbalance between positive and negative samples. The results of the extensive experimentations conducted indicate that the modified framework developed in this paper achieves a processing rate of 21 frames per second with 86.15% accuracy on the dataset SimitMovingDataset, which contains high-resolution images of the size 1920 × 1080.

In large field of view for open country, the real-time detection and identification of moving objects with high accuracy is a very challenging work due to the excessive amount of data. This paper proposes a novel framework that consists of a coarse-grained detection as well as a fine-grained detection. To solve the problem of noise-induced object fracture during the coarse-grained detection process, we present a low-complexity connected region detection algorithm to extract moving regions. Furthermore, in the finegrained detection, Deep Convolution Neural Networks are leveraged to detect more precise coordinates and identify the category of objects. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that proposes a coarse-tofine grained framework to detect moving objects on high-resolution scenes. Experimental results show that the proposed framework can robustly work on the high resolution video frames (1920*1080p) with complex situations more fastly and accurately over existing methods.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) defects detection on module level is increasingly important for flat-panel displays (FPD) industry to increase the production capacity via machine vision technology. However, it is an overwhelmingly challenging issue due to various difficulties. This article discloses a practical automatic optical inspection (AOI) system consisting of hardware structure and software algorithm to detect module-level defects. The AOI system is the core component to build a distributed integrated inspection system with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). Starting from the analysis of the challenges encountered in module-level defects inspection, a delicate photograph scheme is proposed to reveal different kinds of defects. In order to robustly work on the module-level defects detection with complex situations, a novel framework based on YOLOV3 detection unit is proposed in this article, including the preprocessing module, detection module, defects definition module, and interferences elimination module. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that designs a practical AOI system for module-level defects detection. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, extensive experiments have been conducted on the manufacturing lines. The evaluation of the detection performance of the AOI system in comparison with a manual scheme indicates that the proposed system is practical for module-level defects detection. Currently, the proposed system has been deployed in a real-world LCD manufacturing line from a major player in the world.

Musical instruments recognition is a widely used application for music information retrieval. As most of previous musical instruments recognition dataset focus on western musical instruments, it is difficult for researcher to study and evaluate the area of traditional Chinese musical instrument recognition. This paper propose a traditional Chinese music dataset for training model and performance evaluation, named ChMusic. This dataset is free and publicly available, 11 traditional Chinese musical instruments and 55 traditional Chinese music excerpts are recorded in this dataset. Then an evaluation standard is proposed based on ChMusic dataset. With this standard, researchers can compare their results following the same rule, and results from different researchers will become comparable.
