Improving Image-Based Tool Detection in Industrial Workstations using Data Augmentation
Within the framework of Industry 5.0, affordances enable intuitive and adaptive interactions between operators and their industrial work environments. Accurately perceiving these affordances enhances overall production performance, safety, and operator effectiveness. This paper focuses on the initial step of a larger affordance characterization pipeline: detecting tools used by operators during manual assembly tasks. To address […]

Synthetic Data-Driven Augmentation for Precise 6-DoF Pose Estimation of Building Components in Automated Facility Inspections
This paper tackles the challenge of automating facility inspections by detecting building components, estimating their six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) poses (position and orienta tion), and comparing these estimations to Building Information Modeling (BIM) ground truth data. Vision based Deep learn ing methods offer promising results in pose estimation. They rely heavily on large annotated image datasets for […]

Evaluating Robustness of 3D Gaussian Splatting–Based 6D Camera Pose Refinement Under Degraded Conditions for Lightly Textured Industrial Synthetic Objects
In this paper, 6D camera pose refinement is explored using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) on lightly textured industrial object datasets. The study employs datasets generated with Unity 3D rendering software, featuring objects such as a bicycle, MiR robot, Tiago robot, and UR robotic arm, each captured with ground-truth intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters. A 3DGS […]

Attention Makes HVAC Control More Efficient
Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems account for around 16.4% of global final energy consumption and about 14% of global operational CO2 emissions. Controlling them is a partially observable, sequential decision problem: relying solely on instantaneous sensor readings as inputs overlooks the full sequence of past conditions that shape future dynamics. To tackle this challenge […]

Non-Invasive Neonatal Jaundice Detection via Two-Phase Self-Supervised Learning and Vision Transformer
Neonatal jaundice is a potentially serious and prevalent condition that can lead to neurological challenges in newborns if not detected or treated on time. Currently, most approaches employed to diagnose neonatal jaundice are invasive and are often characterized by constraints in accuracy and accessibility, especially in locations with limited resources. To proffer a solution to […]

A Review on Financial Fraud Detection: Techniques, Challenges, Solutions, and Perspectives
Financial fraud is one of the most serious criminal activities, resulting in losses exceeding hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Most existing fraud detection frameworks still use static rule sets or traditional Machine Learning (ML) models, which fail with decentralized systems characterized by anonymity and dynamic behavior. Despite recent developments, the deployment of advanced […]
