A Vision-Based Video Crash Detection Framework for Mixed Traffic Flow Environment Considering Low-Visibility Condition by Chen Wang, Yulu Dai, Wei Zhou, Yifei Geng

“…The results showed that the proposed framework achieved a high detection rate of 92.5%, with relatively low false alarm rate of 7.5%. There are some useful findings: (1) the proposed model outperformed empirical rule-based detection models; (2) image enhancement method can largely improve crash detection performance under low-visibility conditions; (3) the accuracy of object detection (e.g., bounding box prediction) can impact crash detection performance, especially for minor motor-vehicle crashes. …”

Spectroscopic aspects of underwater digital holography of plankton by Victor Dyomin, Igor Polovtsev, Alexandra Davydova, Nikolai Kirillov

“…There are characteristic rhythms in the ecosystem function caused by both plankton biorhythms and changes in habitat parameters, as well as their synchronization, whereas a change in this rhythm may serve as an alarm signal for the ecosystem deprivation. By constructing the analogies based on the spectroscopy of atoms and molecules the paper shows the bioindication capabilities of the Fourier spectra of the plankton ecosystem function, built during monitoring measurements using a submersible digital holographic camera. …”

All-or-none activity as a correlate of object awareness in monkey visual cortex by Anne‑Claire Collet, Roger Koenig‑Robert, Denis Fize, Rufin VanRullen

“…On the other hand, the P2 component was only present when the target was recognized or when a distractor elicited a false alarm, but totally absent otherwise, either when the target was not recognized or when a distractor was correctly rejected, thus being modulated in an all-or-none fashion by image recognition as a target of the task. …”
