    Advancing Object Detection: A Narrative Review of Evolving Techniques and Their Navigation Applications
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-03-17) Tennekoon, S; Wedasingha, N; Welhenge, A; Abhayasinghe, N; Murray Am, I
    Object detection plays a pivotal role in advancing computer vision systems by enabling machines to perceive and interact intelligently with their environments. Despite significant advancements, comprehensive exploration of its evolution and applications in navigation remains underrepresented. This review paper examines the evolution of object detection technologies, from early methodologies to contemporary advancements, and their critical role in navigation tasks. The emphasis was on the significance of contextual learning in enhancing object detection performance by leveraging spatial and temporal information. Furthermore, the limitations of conventional approaches that rely heavily on hand-engineered features are examined. It is then demonstrated that contextual learning facilitates automated feature extraction, resulting in improved accuracy exceeding a 50% increase and adaptability in diverse applications. The review concludes by outlining future trends and opportunities for further advancements in object detection and, underscoring its transformative impact on autonomous navigation and beyond. In summary, this review contributes to a comprehensive understanding of object detection technologies by offering insights into their evolution, highlighting their applications in navigation, and providing guidance for future research in context-aware systems.

    Automated vehicle insurance claims processing using computer vision, natural language processing
    (IEEE, 2022-11-30) Fernando, N; Kumarage, A; Thiyaganathan, V; Hillary, R; Abeywardhana, L
    Traditional insurance claims processing systems are no match for the modern world due to the increasing population of vehicles and the resulting number of accidents. In this paper, the authors present a novel idea to automate the tedious processes in the insurance industry. The presented system consists of three main components namely, re-identify the make and model of the vehicle, identify the damaged automobile component, type, and severity, and compute an accurate repair estimate using damage component identification. Also, automate the documentation process by identifying the relevant fields in the voice input provided by the user. This ensures both the parties involved in this process will be benefited from the proposed system. Presented solutions Were designed using the aid of Artificial Intelligence techniques, mainly CNN models and Natural language processing techniques.

    Learning platform for visually impaired children through artificial intelligence and computer vision
    (IEEE, 2018-02-19) Balasuriya, B. K; Lokuhettiarachchi, N. P; Ranasinghe, A. R. M. D. N; Shiwantha, K. D. C; Jayawardena, C
    The topic Visual Disabilities and Computer Vision are the most researched topics of recent years. Researchers have been trying to combine two topics to create most usable systems to the visually disabled to aid them in their day to day tasks. In this research, we are trying to create an application which is targeting children between the age of 6-14 who suffers from visual disabilities to aid them in their primary learning task of learning to identify objects without a supervision of a third-party. We are trying to achieve this task by combining latest advancements of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence technologies by using Deep Region Based Convolutional Networks (R-CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Speech models to provide an interactive learning experience to such individuals. The paper discusses.
