| Summary: | The objective of this study was to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven model for the detection of helmet usage among workers in tractor and agricultural machinery factories with the aim of enhancing occupational safety. A transfer learning approach was employed, utilizing nine pre-trained neural networks for the extraction of deep features. The following neural networks were employed: MobileNetV2, ResNet50, DarkNet53, AlexNet, ShuffleNet, DenseNet201, InceptionV3, Inception-ResNetV2, and GoogLeNet. Subsequently, the extracted features were subjected to iterative neighborhood component analysis (INCA) for feature selection, after which they were classified using the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) algorithm. The classification outputs of all networks were combined through iterative majority voting (IMV) to achieve optimal results. To evaluate the model, an image dataset comprising 662 images of individuals wearing helmets and 722 images of individuals without helmets sourced from the internet was constructed. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 90.39%, with DenseNet201 producing the most accurate results. This AI-driven helmet detection model demonstrates significant potential in improving occupational safety by assisting safety officers, especially in confined environments, reducing human error, and enhancing efficiency. |
