Abstract

This research focuses on object detection through color matching, enabling machines to detect objects based on specific colors using OpenCV, a Python library widely used in computer vision projects. As a form of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, this method allows machines to automatically learn and classify objects by simulating the human visual system. The study aims to enable a machine to detect and locate a ball through digital image processing using a webcam. The research method includes digital image processing, implementation on a Raspberry Pi, and testing on a robot, where logic is applied to guide the robot toward the ball by detecting its color. The outcome is an object detection system that identifies the ball’s position in two dimensions based on its specific color. In this case, the RGB code (164, 122, 0) and a minimum ball size of 10 radians were successfully implemented on the robot. However, the system has limitations under certain conditions. Future improvements will involve integrating TensorFlow for dataset processing and OpenCV for real-time object detection to achieve more accurate results. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Color Matching, Computer Vision, OpenCV, Digital Image Processing.

Abstract

Congenital heart disease (CHD), particularly ventricular septal defect (VSD), remains a major contributor to pediatric morbidity, while echocardiographic diagnosis is highly dependent on operator expertise and image quality. This study examines the feasibility of an object-detection-based intelligent imaging framework for localizing VSD in pediatric cardiac ultrasound videos acquired from the parasternal long-axis view. Rather than proposing a novel detection algorithm, this work adopts a system-oriented approach by evaluating the Faster R-CNN framework under practical clinical constraints, including limited annotated data and heterogeneous ultrasound characteristics. Three convolutional neural network backbones such as ResNet50, ResNet101, and Inception-ResNet V2 are comparatively analyzed within a unified detection pipeline. Experimental results indicate that the ResNet101-based model achieves the highest localization performance at an intersection-over-union threshold of 0.5, while ResNet50 provides more consistent precision across stricter localization thresholds. Although false-positive detections are observed in acoustically challenging frames, the proposed framework maintains real-time feasibility at approximately 7–8 frames per second. The findings offer practical insights into accuracy–efficiency trade-offs and backbone selection for the development of clinically aware intelligent echocardiography systems, supporting the application of information and communication technology in pediatric cardiac imaging.

Abstract

Information security is a vital component in institutional IT operations, especially for Electronic System Operators (ESO). Effective governance is essential to ensure data protection, integrity, and availability. The readiness evaluation of the BKO District Court, conducted using the KAMI Index version 5.0 based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022, assessed seven areas: information security governance, risk management, information security framework, asset and technology management, personal data protection, and supplementary controls involving third parties. The assessment applied five implementation levels and maturity levels I–V. The Court scored 14 in the electronic system category (low dependency) and achieved an overall score of 913 with a “Good” rating. The highest maturity levels were recorded in risk management and the information security framework (Level V), while other areas ranged from Levels III to IV. Overall, the results show that the BKO District Court has a well-developed and consistently implemented information security governance structure, though enhancements in asset management and personal data protection are still required to achieve optimal maturity under SNI ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Abstract

Advances in multimodal deep learning have driven growing interest in attention mechanisms that enhance audio and visual integration for tasks such as emotion recognition, event localization, and human computer interaction. This comprehensive survey synthesizes recent progress in attention based fusion methods and highlights the evolution from early fusion strategies to more advanced architectures, including self-attention, cross modal attention, co attention, and hierarchical attention. Transformer based models, in particular, now play a central role in state of the art audio visual systems because they capture long range temporal and semantic relationships across modalities. This survey examines how these mechanisms improve contextual understanding and task performance, while also identifying persistent challenges related to interpretability, robustness to noisy or missing modalities, modality imbalance, and computational efficiency. Limitations associated with dataset bias and the lack of standardized evaluation metrics are also discussed. Finally, the survey presents future research directions, including the development of cross modal transformer architectures, hierarchical attention models, and comprehensive attention diagnostics frameworks to support trustworthy and effective multimodal artificial intelligence systems

Abstract

The interaction between risk communication and risk perception plays a pivotal role in shaping financial decision-making, particularly in complex investment environments. Traditional financial advice often emphasizes assessing clients' risk tolerance while overlooking how the communication of risk information influences clients' perception of potential losses and uncertainties. The analysis examines the effectiveness of conveying financial risks in the perception of risk by investors and thus their decisions to invest. This analyzed on the direct and indirect effects of risk education on allocation to risky assets based on risk perception based on survey respondents of 465 financial adviser clients. The respondents were asked to complete structured questionnaires on risk communication quality (RCQ), risk perception (RP), investment choice (IC), Emotional Response to Risk (ERR) and Information Seeking Behavior (ISB). SPSS version 27 was used to analyze the data, and regression, correlation, and descriptive statistics were used to investigate associations between the variables. The results indicate that the Clear risk communication (b = 0.420, r = 0.52) contributes to the financial decision-making, the most help of risk perception (b = 0.310) and investment choices (b = 0.365) and moderate effects of emotional response (b = 0.180) and information seeking behavior (b = 0.250). In addition to this, the study proposed Risk Perception using Logistic Regression (RPLR) based Adaptive Satin Bowerbird optimization (ASBO) model for analyzing the risk communication and risk perception. Risk communication significantly impacts financial decisions, with clarity of communication boosting decision quality. The relationship between communication and perception is confirmed in direct and indirect effects. Development and implementation of proper strategies enhance the informed decision making, risk management and investment returns.

Abstract

The security threats from terrorism and illegal migration raised security concerns, insisting the use of thermal cameras in surveillance systems due to their night vision and all-weather capability. However, thermal images suffer from variations in surface roughness, texture, and radiation, hindering accurate object detection. To address this, a Progressive Ordinates GAN with Centroid Fuzzy Ray-Tracing model is proposed for the efficient object detection using thermal images. The existing object detection algorithms struggle in detecting thermal signatures, as they depend only on temperature while neglecting emissivity differences from diverse surface characteristics of thermal images. To overcome this problem, a novel Progressive Ordinates Generative Adversarial Network (POGAN) is introduced, for more accurate detection and characterization of objects with diverse surface characteristics having varying emissivity, mitigating the challenges of inconsistent thermal signatures. Moreover, the shadow casting of objects from thermal image hinders identifying the object boundaries. The existing algorithms struggle to determine the shadow casting as they are not aware of the related parameters such as geometric properties, spatial relationships and the angle of incidence, as they operate on fixed-size image patches or regions. Hence, Centroid Ray-Tracing Fuzzy Clustering (CRFC) is introduced, which effectively acclimates to varying scene complexity by dynamically adjusting cluster centroids, thus enables a better understanding of geometric properties, spatial relationships, and angle of incidence within the scene. The analysis on this work validates that the proposed model achieves better performance with improved accuracy, sensitivity, mean Average Precision (mAP) and recall, with minimized Mean Average Error (MAE).

Abstract

This work presents CNN–Transformer, a new hybrid deep learning model based on CNN and Transformer for predicting the pregnancy of a cow with multivariate sequential behavioral data extracted from CowView sensors. The percentage features were divided into three cow states – ALLEY (motion), BOOST (eating) & LOGETTE (sleeping) – and summarized into 30 minutes, resulting in daily sequences comprised of 48 time points. To mitigate the limitation of scarce data and facilitate generalization, simulation-based augmentation is performed by utilizing activity frequency matrix and transition probability matrix learned from the real data. Among these, Logistic Regression, SVM, Random Forest, LSTM and CNN-LSTM are chosen and a comparative analysis of the five models is presented. Traditional machine learning algorithms had moderate performance: Logistic Regression and SVM obtained an accuracy of 71% and 73%, respectively; Random Forest obtained 66%. The results are improved by deep learning methods, where LSTM obtains 77% (ROC-AUC: 0.82), and CNN-LSTM achieves 82% (Precision: 0.86, F1-score: 0.81, ROC-AUC: 0.87). Our CNN–Transformer model beats all the baselines at the accuracy of 86%, precision of 0.90, F1-score of 0.86, and ROC-AUC of 0.92. Models trained on the real data, on average, had an accuracy of 73.8%, significantly better than that with the simulated data (53.8%). It was robust, holding 78% accuracy at 20% noise, and early prediction accuracy was 81% at 24 hours before diagnosis. Statistical validation demonstrated significant improvement (p < 0.01), thus confirming hybrid temporal models for precision livestock farming.

Abstract

The fast growth of cyber-attacks and network traffic, have put forward the requirement of autonomous and scalable IDSs that can accurately discern among normal and malicious activities. In this paper, a hybrid machine learning (ML)-based IDS model, DTCNN-IDS, is presented by combining Decision Tree (DT), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and TabTransformer. The framework is tested against the KDD99 data set, containing 4,898,431 network records with continuous and categorical fields. A uniform pipeline with preprocessing, encoding, normalization, and multi-class supervised learning (M2A approach) allows for robust model evaluation. DT produces high accuracy (99.99%) but biased results on minority attacks (U2R recall = 0.72, R2L recall = 0.76) as a result of class imbalance. CNN enhances the nonlinear feature learning and achieves an accuracy of 99.7% with the precision, recall and F1-score of 0.996. The best-performing model is TabTransformer, achieving accuracy of 99.8%, precision of 0.997, recall of 0.998 and F1-score of 0.997, which also significantly improves detection of minority attacks. The improved sensitivity and stability are further confirmed by the Precision–Recall, scalability analyses and statistical testing (p < 0.05) validates the significance of results.
