Pose estimation is a fascinating aspect of pattern recognition that is used in a variety of industries, such as technology, healthcare, gaming, etc. The goal of human posture estimation is to foretell the positions of joints and body components in still photos and moving pictures. Given the wide range of uses for such a system, it constitutes one of the most intriguing domains of computer vision research and has had significant growth. The compact convolutional neural networks architecture for human posture estimation proposed in this study, called BlazePose, is intended towards mobile device legitimate prediction. During analysis, the network operates from over 30 fps on something like a Pixel 2 mobile, providing 33 body keypoints for such a specific individual. As a result, it is particularly well-suited for real-time applications like as fitness tracking and action recognition comprehension. This paper makes two major contributions: a novel body posture tracking approach and a lightweight body pose estimation computational model that evaluates parameters utilizing heatmaps and regression. The suggested method has improved estimate accuracy, which is useful when it is used for robotics, augmented reality, sports and fitness, action recognition, motion analysis, and human-computer interface.

The deaths caused by road accidents are one of India's most pressing issues. The inattentiveness of the driver is responsible for almost 80% of all collisions. Mobile phone use, conversing with passengers, reaching behind the wheel to grab something, and drinking while driving are just a few of the factors that can cause a driver to become distracted. This project aims to create a reliable and effective system for detecting and classifying distracted drivers. The efficacy of CNNs in the field of computer vision was the inspiration for this paper, which proposes a paradigm based on Convolutional Neural Network which not only senses but also recognizes the driver who is distracted. For this purpose it is using a publicly available dataset from the Kaggle website as an input for this model. There are several different forms of distractions, but this study focuses on the manual distraction, which is focused on the driver's stance. The goal of this work is to keep an eye on the driver's actions and seek for diversion signs. Distractions are divided into two groups in the model: safe driving and unsafe or distracted driving. For this purpose, various architectures of CNN can be used. This work, however, employs sequential architecture and achieved the highest observed accuracy of 99% with a total of 9.5M trainable parameters. The primary goal of this research is to classify a test image into two states of the driver that have been considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pothole detection is a challenging task as it involves inhomogeneity in intensity, complex topologies, contrast less, and noise rich background. Still, it's a very important task concerning the maintenance of roads. Potholes are being detected using computer vision which generally involves analysis of a two-dimensional image of the road or modeling of the road surface. Provided both these methods are independently used. The accuracy of this method of pothole detection is far from the top point. These bring the usage of digital image processing which develops the detection of potholes with at most accuracy. Digital Image processing provides strong receptivity, usage of huge actions, and broad benefits. In this paper, we propose a system that supports digital image processing techniques of high efficiency to result in consistent and accurate detection of potholes. This project studies an intelligent digital industrial pothole detection mechanism to increase human safety, detection capability and decrease the factor of risk. Firstly, the sources of images from the road are pre-processed to remove noise and other irrelevant features. Then a training model was developed to train the system to classify between path holes and normal cracks using convolution neural networks and MATLAB. Also, an IoT device is used in this system which updates the detected potholes on the road to the respective web server along with the location coordinates, as a part to notify a complaint to check. This system works on providing a better pothole detection technique and also updating the same to the concerned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
