Abstract

Breast masses in mammograms are important to segment for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) to enhance early detection and treatment decisions. Current approaches face challenges in segmenting lesions with low lesion-to-tissue contrast and diverse textures, resulting in misclassification or poor segmentation accuracy. To overcome this challenge, this paper introduces BReMS-Net, a multi-stage segmentation network to improve contextual learning and refined boundaries. We used an MBA-Net backbone with two major components: a Multi-scale Hybrid Dilated Convolution (MHD) module to extract multi-scale contextual features, and a Boundary Feature Auxiliary (BFA) module to strengthen boundary representations via coarse-to-fine feature fusion. Furthermore, a lightweight Prediction-Guided Refinement Module (PRM) uses initial predictions to produce attention maps, remove background clutter, and progressively refine boundary areas. The model has been evaluated on a cross-dataset basis, trained on the CBIS-DDSM dataset and tested on the INbreast dataset, and the results show that the BReMS-Net produces a Dice coefficient of 93.12% and an HD95 of 0.9826, which demonstrate competitive performance compared to several state-of-the-art deep learning methods. These results underline its generalization and robustness. Overall, the framework provides a robust and efficient approach to breast mass segmentation and has important implications for the performance and clinical relevance of automatic breast cancer diagnosis systems.

Abstract

Crowd counting remains a challenge within computer vision due to many factors that affect the performance of available methods such as occlusion, scale variability, and perspective distortion. Additionally, many labels associated with crowd counting systems have high levels of noise caused by various real-world conditions. Although crowd counting methodologies have improved accuracy over recent years, the majority of crowd counting models still rely on clean real-time supervision and lack systems that can correct for dynamically corrupted labels, resulting in low robustness for crowd counting models when deployed in real-world applications. In this work we present a Noise-Robust Crowd Counting with Label Correction (NRCC-LC) framework to obtain reliable density estimates from noisy supervision. To accomplish this, our approach uses a combined CNN-Transformer architecture to capture both locally- and globally-relevant visual information (i.e., image content and context), along with a Noise-Robust Module (NRM) and a Dynamic Label Correction (DLC) mechanism. Our principle experimental results evaluated across four benchmark datasets: ShanghaiTech Part A, ShanghaiTech Part B, NWPU-Crowd, and JHU-Crowd++, indicate that the NRCC-LC exhibits competitive performance with respect to existing state-of-the-art crowd-counting methods; most notably, producing per-image MAEs of 97.8 and 392.3 on NWPU-Crowd. These experimental results additionally have real-world implications for improving public safety and urban planning; thus, through our novel method of noise-aware feature learning combined with iterative label correction, we can establish the potential of automated monitoring systems in complex, real-world environments to be significantly more reliable.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in smart engineering systems has increased the need for reliable anomaly detection mechanisms capable of identifying cyberattacks, operational faults, and abnormal system behaviors in complex cyber–physical environments. Existing rule-based and conventional machine learning approaches often struggle to effectively model the non-linear, high-dimensional, and highly imbalanced nature of IoT-generated multivariate time-series data, thereby limiting their capability to detect subtle and previously unseen anomalies. To address these challenges, this study proposes a deep learning–driven anomaly detection framework based on a hybrid CNN–LSTM autoencoder architecture for modeling spatiotemporal system behavior in IoT-enabled engineering environments. The proposed framework integrates convolutional neural networks for spatial feature extraction with long short-term memory networks for temporal dependency learning, while anomaly detection is performed using reconstruction error analysis and adaptive thresholding under unsupervised learning conditions. Experimental evaluation was conducted using the BATADAL-A dataset, which represents a realistic cyber–physical water distribution system. The results demonstrate stable convergence and strong generalization performance, with closely aligned training and validation losses throughout the learning process. The proposed framework achieved 90% overall accuracy, anomaly precision of 0.83, anomaly recall of 0.22, and an AUC of 0.677, indicating effective modeling of normal operational behavior but limited sensitivity to rare anomalous events. These findings demonstrate that the proposed CNN–LSTM autoencoder provides reliable low–false alarm monitoring for IoT-enabled smart engineering systems while highlighting the need for future improvements to enhance anomaly sensitivity and robustness in safety-critical applications.

Abstract

Lightweight crowd counting is important for real-time surveillance and resource-constrained deployment, where both computational efficiency and effective supervision are required. Although teacher-free self-distillation can improve lightweight density-regression models by guiding intermediate representations without an external teacher, the influence of composite loss weights in such frameworks has not been sufficiently analyzed. This paper presents a focused coefficient-wise loss-weight analysis within the Lightweight Self-Knowledge Distillation framework for single-image crowd counting. Instead of proposing a new architecture, the study investigates how the coefficients α, β, γ, and λ₂ affect optimization behavior and counting accuracy under a fixed experimental setup on ShanghaiTech Part B. Specifically, α controls intermediate feature alignment, β controls consistency supervision, γ controls direct density-regression supervision, and λ₂ controls the structural similarity term in the regression loss. The results show that moderate values of α and β improve performance by providing useful internal regularization, while excessive auxiliary weighting can slightly degrade accuracy. The analysis also indicates that γ should remain dominant because direct density-map regression is the primary learning signal. The best observed configuration is α = 6.0, β = 2.0, γ = 13.0, and λ₂ = 0.2, achieving 8.94 MAE and 11.51 RMSE on ShanghaiTech Part B. These findings highlight the importance of balanced supervision design within the evaluated LSKD framework on ShanghaiTech Part B.
