• Authors: Alexander Nettekoven, Scott Fish, Joseph Beaman, Ufuk Topcu
• Abstract summary: An increasing number of laser powder bed fusion machines use off-axis infrared cameras to improve online monitoring and data-driven control capabilities. We study over 30 segmentation algorithms that segment each infrared image into a foreground and background. The identified algorithms can be readily applied to the laser powder bed fusion machines to address each of the above limitations and thus, significantly improve process control.

• Abstract: An increasing number of laser powder bed fusion machines use off-axis infrared cameras to improve online monitoring and data-driven control capabilities. However, there is still a severe lack of algorithmic solutions to properly process the infrared images from these cameras that has led to several key limitations: a lack of online monitoring capabilities for the laser tracks, insufficient pre-processing of the infrared images for data-driven methods, and large memory requirements for storing the infrared images. To address these limitations, we study over 30 segmentation algorithms that segment each infrared image into a foreground and background. By evaluating each algorithm based on its segmentation accuracy, computational speed, and spatter detection characteristics, we identify promising algorithmic solutions. The identified algorithms can be readily applied to the laser powder bed fusion machines to address each of the above limitations and thus, significantly improve process control.

  In intelligent building management, knowing the number of people and their location in a room are important for better control of its illumination, ventilation, and heating with reduced costs and improved comfort. This is typically achieved by detecting people using embedded devices that are installed on the room's ceiling, and that integrate low-resolution infrared camera, which conceals each person's identity. For accurate detection, state-of-the-art deep learning models still require supervised training using a large annotated dataset of images. In this paper, we investigate cost-effective methods that are suitable for person detection based on low-resolution infrared images

  This study addresses the issue of fusing infrared and visible images that appear differently for object detection. Previous approaches discover commons underlying the two modalities and fuse upon the common space either by iterative optimization or deep networks. This paper proposes a bilevel optimization formulation for the joint problem of fusion and detection, and then unrolls to a target-aware Dual Adversarial Learning (TarDAL) network for fusion and a commonly used detection network.
