Object recognition in marine surveillance cameras
Full text linkAutomatska detekcija objekata u moru na slikama nadzornih ili panoramskih kamera otvara mogućnost automatskog praćenja prometa, detekcije neovlaštenoga kretanja, opasnosti ili onečišćenja. U ovom radu analiziraju se performanse modela temeljenih na arhitekturi YOLOv7 za zadatak detekcije plovila i plutača na takvim slikama. Modeli su naučeni na vlastitom skupu podataka različitih pomorskih scena izrađenom za tu svrhu, korištenjem prijenosa učenja s modela naučenih na općenitim slikama. Također, ispitane su dvije varijante rukovanja ulazom u mrežu, te je korištenje strategije rezanja ulazne slike značajno poboljšalo rezultate detekcije posebno malih objekata u odnosu na osnovni model.Automatic object detection in maritime surveillance or panoramic camera images opens up possibilities for automatic traffic monitoring, unauthorized movement detection, and hazard or pollution identification. This study investigates the performance of models based on the YOLOv7 architecture for the task of detecting vessels and buoys in images captured by panoramic and surveillance cameras. The models are trained on a dedicated dataset comprising diverse maritime scenes created for this purpose, utilizing transfer learning from models trained on generic images. Additionally, two variants of input handling strategies are examined, and the use of the input image cropping strategy significantly improves detection results, especially for small objects, compared to the baseline model
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Active Player Detection in Handball Scenes Based on Activity Measures
No full textIn team sports training scenes, it is common to have many players on the court, each with his own ball performing different actions. Our goal is to detect all players in the handball court and determine the most active player who performs the given handball technique. This is a very challenging task, for which, apart from an accurate object detector, which is able to deal with complex cluttered scenes, additional information is needed to determine the active player. We propose an active player detection method that combines the Yolo object detector, activity measures, and tracking methods to detect and track active players in time. Different ways of computing player activity were considered and three activity measures are proposed based on optical flow, spatiotemporal interest points, and convolutional neural networks. For tracking, we consider the use of the Hungarian assignment algorithm and the more complex Deep SORT tracker that uses additional visual appearance features to assist the assignment process. We have proposed the evaluation measure to evaluate the performance of the proposed active player detection method. The method is successfully tested on a custom handball video dataset that was acquired in the wild and on basketball video sequences. The results are commented on and some of the typical cases and issues are shown
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
