Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) is vulnerable to data-tampering (DT) attacks. Due to resource limitations, many anomaly detection systems (ADSs) for IoT have high false positive rates when detecting DT attacks. This leads to the misreporting of normal data, which will impact the normal operation of IoT. To mitigate the impact caused by the high false positive rate of ADS, this paper proposes an ADS management scheme for clustered IoT. First, we model the data transmission and anomaly detection in clustered IoT. Then, the operation strategy of the clustered IoT is formulated as the running probabilities of all ADSs deployed on… More >

Abstract Olive trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can cause significant crop damage and economic losses. Early detection of these diseases is essential for effective management. We propose a novel transformed wavelet, feature-fused, pre-trained deep learning model for detecting olive leaf diseases. The proposed model combines wavelet transforms with pre-trained deep-learning models to extract discriminative features from olive leaf images. The model has four main phases: preprocessing using data augmentation, three-level wavelet transformation, learning using pre-trained deep learning models, and a fused deep learning model. In the preprocessing phase, the image dataset is augmented using techniques such as… More >

Abstract The human pose paradigm is estimated using a transformer-based multi-branch multidimensional directed the three-dimensional (3D) method that takes into account self-occlusion, badly posedness, and a lack of depth data in the per-frame 3D posture estimation from two-dimensional (2D) mapping to 3D mapping. Firstly, by examining the relationship between the movements of different bones in the human body, four virtual skeletons are proposed to enhance the cyclic constraints of limb joints. Then, multiple parameters describing the skeleton are fused and projected into a high-dimensional space. Utilizing a multi-branch network, motion features between bones and overall motion features are extracted to mitigate… More >

Abstract In recent years, how to efficiently and accurately identify multi-model fake news has become more challenging. First, multi-model data provides more evidence but not all are equally important. Secondly, social structure information has proven to be effective in fake news detection and how to combine it while reducing the noise information is critical. Unfortunately, existing approaches fail to handle these problems. This paper proposes a multi-model fake news detection framework based on Tex-modal Dominance and fusing Multiple Multi-model Cues (TD-MMC), which utilizes three valuable multi-model clues: text-model importance, text-image complementary, and text-image inconsistency. TD-MMC is dominated by textural content and… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing technology that allows the sharing of data with other devices across wireless networks. Specifically, IoT systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to its opennes The proposed work intends to implement a new security framework for detecting the most specific and harmful intrusions in IoT networks. In this framework, a Covariance Linear Learning Embedding Selection (CL2ES) methodology is used at first to extract the features highly associated with the IoT intrusions. Then, the Kernel Distributed Bayes Classifier (KDBC) is created to forecast attacks based on the probability distribution value precisely. In addition, a… More >

Abstract Pulmonary nodules are small, round, or oval-shaped growths on the lungs. They can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The size of a nodule can range from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in diameter. Nodules may be found during a chest X-ray or other imaging test for an unrelated health problem. In the proposed methodology pulmonary nodules can be classified into three stages. Firstly, a 2D histogram thresholding technique is used to identify volume segmentation. An ant colony optimization algorithm is used to determine the optimal threshold value. Secondly, geometrical features such as lines, arcs, extended arcs, and… More >

Abstract Due to the exponential growth of video data, aided by rapid advancements in multimedia technologies. It became difficult for the user to obtain information from a large video series. The process of providing an abstract of the entire video that includes the most representative frames is known as static video summarization. This method resulted in rapid exploration, indexing, and retrieval of massive video libraries. We propose a framework for static video summary based on a Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoint (BRISK) and bisecting K-means clustering algorithm. The current method effectively recognizes relevant frames using BRISK by extracting keypoints and the… More >
