Abstract There are problems of complex background, serious occlusion, and low accuracy foreign object detection on high-voltage transmission lines. In this paper, we propose an algorithm incorporating atrous convolution for the four types objects that more likely to appear lines: bird nests, balloons, kites, rubbish. The is based original YOLOv4 model, replacing SPP structure with ASPP structur...

Floods are a regular phenomenon in Indonesia, particularly the Bangka Belitung region. Natural elements such as soil conditions and excessive rainfall, well non-natural variables rubbish, concretization infiltration zones, development floodplain areas, so on, all contribute to flood disasters. Dul Village, Pangkalanbaru District, Central Regency, was one of flood-affected areas. To assist commu...

Information on contacts between individuals within a population is crucial to inform disease control strategies, via parameterisation of disease spread models. In this study we investigated the use of dog-borne video cameras-in conjunction with global positioning systems (GPS) loggers-to both characterise dog-to-dog contacts and to estimate contact rates. We customized miniaturised video camera...
