The rapid evolution of wireless communication technologies has underscored the critical role of antennas in ensuring seamless connectivity. Antenna defects, ranging from manufacturing imperfections to environmental wear, pose significant challenges to the reliability and performance of communication systems. This review paper navigates the landscape of antenna defect detection, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of various defect types and the associated challenges in visual detection. This review paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners engaged in the design and maintenance of communication systems. The insights presented here pave the way for enhanced reliability in antenna systems through targeted defect detection measures. In this study, a comprehensive literature analysis on computer vision algorithms that are employed in end-of-line visual inspection of antenna parts is presented. The PRISMA principles will be followed throughout the review, and its goals are to provide a summary of recent research, identify relevant computer vision techniques, and evaluate how effective these techniques are in discovering defects during inspections. It contains articles from scholarly journals as well as papers presented at conferences up until June 2023. This research utilized search phrases that were relevant, and papers were chosen based on whether or not they met certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, several different computer vision approaches, such as feature extraction and defect classification, are broken down and analyzed. Additionally, their applicability and performance are discussed. The review highlights the significance of utilizing a wide variety of datasets and measurement criteria. The findings of this study add to the existing body of knowledge and point researchers in the direction of promising new areas of investigation, such as real-time inspection systems and multispectral imaging. This review, on its whole, offers a complete study of computer vision approaches for quality control in antenna parts. It does so by providing helpful insights and drawing attention to areas that require additional exploration.

Advanced rider assistance systems (ARAS) play a crucial role in enhancing motorcycle safety through features such as collision avoidance, blind-spot detection, and adaptive cruise control, which rely heavily on sensors like radar, cameras, and LiDAR. However, their performance is often compromised under adverse weather conditions, leading to sensor interference, reduced visibility, and inconsistent reliability. This study evaluates the effectiveness and limitations of ARAS technologies in rain, fog, and snow, focusing on how sensor performance, algorithms, techniques, and dataset suitability influence system reliability. A thematic analysis was conducted, selecting studies focused on ARAS in adverse weather conditions based on specific selection criteria. The analysis shows that while ARAS offers substantial safety benefits, its accuracy declines in challenging environments. Existing datasets, algorithms, and techniques were reviewed to identify the most effective options for ARAS applications. However, more comprehensive weather-resilient datasets and adaptive multi-sensor fusion approaches are still needed. Advancing in these areas will be critical to improving the robustness of ARAS and ensuring safer riding experiences across diverse environmental conditions.

This study examines the effectiveness of employing Advanced Rider Assistance System (ARAS) for enhancing motorcycle safety by reducing crashes and improving rider safety. The system includes both single solution approaches, like braking systems, and multi-sensor solutions that integrate data from LiDARs, radars, and cameras through sensor fusion. A systematic literature review was conducted to collect data from 2008 to 2024 across various sources related to ARAS. The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to ensure a comprehensive and transparent process. Data were extracted from the included studies, focusing on study design, sample size, intervention details, and outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed using a customized checklist. The reviewincluded 31 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Findings were summarized for single sensor solutions and sensor fusion approaches.The review indicates that single-solution systems are effective ARAS technologies. In contrast, the application of sensor fusion in motorcycles has been only minimally explored, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about its impact in this context. Evidence from four-wheeled vehicles, however, shows that sensor fusion can enhance perception robustness, improve performance under adverse conditions, and contribute to measurable safety gains. These results suggest that similar advantages could be realized for motorcycles as fusion-based ARAS technologies become more widely implemented. Moreover, sensor fusion holds the potential to provide riders with broader situational awareness and more comprehensive safety assistance than single-system solutions. Future research should focus on addressing the identified challenges and optimizing these systems for broader implementation. This review underscores the critical role of ARAS in reducing motorcycle-related incidents and improving rider safety, highlighting the need for ongoing research to refine sensor fusion algorithms and address technical challenges for real-world applications.
