The majority of contemporary competitive commercial navigation programs rely on GPS-based navigation technology. However, it is the interior navigation performance is lower than that in an outdoor situation. Much of the research and development on indoor navigational systems entails the installation of additional equipment, which often comes with a substantial setup charge. A study and comparison were undertaken to identify the best indoor localization, pathfinding, and path navigation systems for an indoor navigation strategy. The goal of this project is to demonstrate a user-friendly and cost-effective indoor navigation system. The recommended solution combines augmented reality technology with the built-in sensors included in the majority of mobile devices to determine the user's location and give an immersive navigation experience. In this project, a smartphone app for indoor navigation was developed and tested. AR Core will use the predicted route to display AR guidance.

2. Crime analysis in India using machine and deep learning techniques

Crime analysis is a critical aspect of law enforcement, aiding in the understanding, prediction, and prevention of criminal activities. In a vast and diverse country like India, with its complex socio-economic landscape, traditional methods of crime analysis often fall short in capturing the intricacies and patterns of criminal behavior. In recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have emerged as powerful tools to analyze crime data, offering the potential to uncover hidden patterns and trends that can enhance law enforcement strategies. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of crime analysis in India utilizing machine learning and deep learning methodologies. We begin by discussing the challenges inherent in traditional crime analysis methods, highlighting the need for more sophisticated approaches to address the complexities of crime dynamics in India. Subsequently, we delve into the theoretical foundations of machine learning and deep learning, providing insights into various algorithms and techniques commonly employed in crime analysis. Drawing upon real-world datasets from Indian cities, we demonstrate the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques in crime prediction, hotspot identification, and criminal profiling.

4. 3D Dense CNN for Hyperspectral Imaging-Based Bloodstain Classification

Blood is a crucial piece of evidence in forensic science for reconstructing and solving crimes. Although numerous chemical procedures are utilized to recognize the blood at a crime scene, these various chemical-based methods might affect DNA analysis. One potential application of bloodstain detection and classification using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is in forensic science for crime scene investigation. In this paper, we developed a deep learning classifier 2D CNN, 3D CNN and Dense for blood stain detection in the field of forensic science. We conduct experiments using a publicly available Hyperspectral-based Bloodstain dataset for experimental and validation purposes. This dataset contains a variety of chemicals, including blood and blood-like compounds such as ketchup, artificial blood, beetroot juice, poster paint, tomato concentrate, acrylic paint, and questionable blood. With the initial training/testing ratio set to 90/10 of the data samples, we compare the results with state-of-the-art three different CNN architecture with PCA, as preprocessing techniques. The result demonstrates that the 3D Dense CNN can offer improved classification accuracies, smoother classification maps, and more discriminable features for hyperspectral image classification.

6. Multi-scale Deep Learning for Histopathological Image Analysis: The Deep-Hipo Approach

The digitization of whole-slide imaging within digital pathology has propelled the advancement of computer-assisted tissue examination utilizing machine learning methodologies, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Numerous CNN-based approaches have been proposed to effectively analyze histopathological images for tasks such as cancer detection, risk prediction, and cancer subtype classification. While many existing methods have relied on patch-based examination due to the immense size of histopathological images, such small window patches often lack sufficient information or patterns for the tasks at hand. Pathologists routinely inspect tissues at various magnification levels to scrutinize complex morphological patterns through microscopes. In response to these challenges, we propose a novel deep-learning model for histopathology, named Deep-Hipo, which concurrently utilizes multi-scale patches for precise histopathological image analysis. Deep-Hipo simultaneously extracts two patches of identical size from both high and low magnification levels, enabling the capture of intricate morphological patterns within both large and small receptive fields of a whole-slide image.

10. Ship Detection Based on Faster R-CNN Using Range-Compressed Airborne Radar Data

This paper introduces a novel approach to ship monitoring for enhanced maritime safety and security. Traditional methods rely on Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) and marine radar, but their effectiveness is hindered by the absence of AIS on some vessels. To overcome this limitation, Faster R-CNN, trained on Range-Compressed Airborne Radar Data, is proposed. By utilizing airborne radar signals, the need for AIS installations is eliminated. The Faster R-CNN algorithm is trained on both Time Domain and Doppler Domain data types for object detection and classification, respectively. Leveraging Resnet50 as the backbone model, the system achieves efficient ship detection by analyzing specific regions, thus reducing false detections. This innovative approach presents a significant advancement in sea monitoring capabilities, ensuring enhanced safety and security at sea.

16. Brain Tumor Classification Leveraging CNNAnd Grad-CAM For Accurate Tumor Type Identification

Brain tumour segmentation in medical image analysis is a challenging task because precision is crucial in the process of diagnosis and treatment. The current research applies a sophisticated method that utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in conjunction with gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) to enhance the detection accuracy of brain tumours. By virtue of the implemented complex architecture of EfficientNetB1, our technique shines at solving the complex problems of medical image data processing. Grad-CAM makes a precious input into CNN by supplying visual interpretations of the attention-paying areas of CNN, empowering doctors to make the right diagnoses. We introduce a model that is based on a great number of brain tumour images with confirmed labels and learns to differentiate different tumour types based on their specific patterns. From our comparative analysis, we can see that there is a significant improvement in tumour detection accuracy, with our model reaching even as high as 99.67%. This one is more effective than the VGG16 model that delivers 85%-90% accuracy and ResNet50 model that has 90%-97% accuracy. In particular, the EfficientNetB1 model provides an accuracy range in the interval of 96%-98%, which clearly shows the efficiency of our proposed technique, since this would result in better treatment outcomes for patients.
