Meta-Transfer Learning Driven Tensor-Shot Detector for the Autonomous Localization and Recognition of Concealed Baggage Threats (2020)
Journal Article
Hassan, T., Shafay, M., Akçay, S., Khan, S., Bennamoun, M., Damiani, E., & Werghi, N. (2020). Meta-Transfer Learning Driven Tensor-Shot Detector for the Autonomous Localization and Recognition of Concealed Baggage Threats. Sensors, 20(22), Article 6450. https://doi.org/10.3390/s20226450

Screening baggage against potential threats has become one of the prime aviation security concerns all over the world, where manual detection of prohibited items is a time-consuming and hectic process. Many researchers have developed autonomous syste... Read More about Meta-Transfer Learning Driven Tensor-Shot Detector for the Autonomous Localization and Recognition of Concealed Baggage Threats.

Generative Adversarial Framework for Depth Filling via Wasserstein Metric, Cosine Transform and Domain Transfer (2019)
Journal Article
Atapour-Abarghouei, A., Akcay, S., de La Garanderie, G. P., & Breckon, T. P. (2019). Generative Adversarial Framework for Depth Filling via Wasserstein Metric, Cosine Transform and Domain Transfer. Pattern Recognition, 91, 232-244. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2019.02.010

In this work, the issue of depth filling is addressed using a self-supervised feature learning model that predicts missing depth pixel values based on the context and structure of the scene. A fully-convolutional generative model is conditioned on th... Read More about Generative Adversarial Framework for Depth Filling via Wasserstein Metric, Cosine Transform and Domain Transfer.

Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network Architectures for Object Classification and Detection within X-ray Baggage Security Imagery (2018)
Journal Article
Akcay, S., Kundegorski, M., Willcocks, C., & Breckon, T. (2018). Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network Architectures for Object Classification and Detection within X-ray Baggage Security Imagery. IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 13(9), 2203-2215. https://doi.org/10.1109/tifs.2018.2812196

We consider the use of deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with transfer learning for the image classification and detection problems posed within the context of X-ray baggage security imagery. The use of the CNN approach requires large amounts...
