Abstract In low-light environments, captured images often exhibit issues such as insufficient clarity and detail loss, which significantly degrade the accuracy of subsequent target recognition tasks. To tackle these challenges, this study presents a novel low-light image enhancement algorithm that leverages virtual hazy image generation through dehazing models based on statistical analysis. The proposed algorithm initiates the enhancement process by transforming the low-light image into a virtual hazy image, followed by image segmentation using a quadtree method. To improve the accuracy and robustness of atmospheric light estimation, the algorithm incorporates a genetic algorithm to optimize the… More >

Abstract The reliability and efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems are essential for sustainable energy production, requiring accurate fault detection to minimize energy losses. This study proposes a hybrid model integrating Neighborhood Components Analysis (NCA) with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to improve fault detection and diagnosis. Unlike Principal Component Analysis (PCA), which may compromise class relationships during feature extraction, NCA preserves these relationships, enhancing classification performance. The hybrid model combines NCA with CNN, a fundamental deep learning architecture, to enhance fault detection and diagnosis capabilities. The performance of the proposed NCA-CNN model was evaluated against other More >

Abstract Retaining walls are utilized to support the earth and prevent the soil from spreading with natural slope angles where there are differences in the elevation of ground surfaces. As the need for retaining structures increases, the use of retaining walls is increasing. The retaining walls, which increase the stability of levels, are economical and meet existing adverse conditions. A considerable amount of retaining walls is made from steel-reinforced concrete. The construction of reinforced concrete retaining walls can be costly due to its components. For this reason, the optimum cost should be targeted in the design… More >

Abstract The development of generative architectures has resulted in numerous novel deep-learning models that generate images using text inputs. However, humans naturally use speech for visualization prompts. Therefore, this paper proposes an architecture that integrates speech prompts as input to image-generation Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) model, leveraging Speech-to-Text translation along with the CLIP + VQGAN model. The proposed method involves translating speech prompts into text, which is then used by the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) + Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network (VQGAN) model to generate images. This paper outlines the steps required to implement such a… More >
