Abstract Most ground faults in distribution network are caused by insulation deterioration of power equipment. It is difficult to find the insulation deterioration of the distribution network in time, and the development trend of the initial insulation fault is unknown, which brings difficulties to the distribution inspection. In order to solve the above problems, a situational awareness method of the initial insulation fault of the distribution network based on a multi-feature index comprehensive evaluation is proposed. Firstly, the insulation situation evaluation index is selected by analyzing the insulation fault mechanism of the distribution network, and the… More >

Abstract Text mining presents unique challenges in extracting meaningful information from the vast volumes of digital documents. Traditional filter feature selection methods often fall short in handling the complexities of short text data. To address this issue, this paper presents a novel approach to feature selection in text classification, aiming to overcome challenges posed by high dimensionality and reduced accuracy in the face of increasing digital document volumes. Unlike traditional filter feature selection techniques, the proposed method, Multivariate Relevance Frequency Analysis, offers a tailored solution for diverse text data types. By integrating positive, negative, and dependency… More >

Abstract The study of gene expression has emerged as a vital tool for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, particularly with the advent of microarray technology that enables the measurement of thousands of genes in a single sample. While this wealth of data offers invaluable insights for disease management, the high dimensionality poses a challenge for multiclass classification. In this context, selecting relevant features becomes essential to enhance classification model performance. Swarm Intelligence algorithms have proven effective in addressing this challenge, owing to their ability to navigate intricate, non-linear feature-class relationships. This paper introduces a novel hybrid swarm More >

Abstract Smart Industrial environments use the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) for their routine operations and transform their industrial operations with intelligent and driven approaches. However, IIoT devices are vulnerable to cyber threats and exploits due to their connectivity with the internet. Traditional signature-based IDS are effective in detecting known attacks, but they are unable to detect unknown emerging attacks. Therefore, there is the need for an IDS which can learn from data and detect new threats. Ensemble Machine Learning (ML) and individual Deep Learning (DL) based IDS have been developed, and these individual models achieved… More >

Abstract High-dimensional datasets present significant challenges for classification tasks. Dimensionality reduction, a crucial aspect of data preprocessing, has gained substantial attention due to its ability to improve classification performance. However, identifying the optimal features within high-dimensional datasets remains a computationally demanding task, necessitating the use of efficient algorithms. This paper introduces the Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA), a novel approach for finding the optimal feature subset. AOA is specifically modified to address feature selection problems based on a transfer function. Additionally, two enhancements are incorporated into the AOA algorithm to overcome limitations such as limited precision, slow More >

Abstract Visual Question Answering (VQA) has sparked widespread interest as a crucial task in integrating vision and language. VQA primarily uses attention mechanisms to effectively answer questions to associate relevant visual regions with input questions. The detection-based features extracted by the object detection network aim to acquire the visual attention distribution on a predetermined detection frame and provide object-level insights to answer questions about foreground objects more effectively. However, it cannot answer the question about the background forms without detection boxes due to the lack of fine-grained details, which is the advantage of grid-based features. In… More >

Abstract At present, super-resolution algorithms are employed to tackle the challenge of low image resolution, but it is difficult to extract differentiated feature details based on various inputs, resulting in poor generalization ability. Given this situation, this study first analyzes the features of some feature extraction modules of the current super-resolution algorithm and then proposes an adaptive feature fusion block (AFB) for feature extraction. This module mainly comprises dynamic convolution, attention mechanism, and pixel-based gating mechanism. Combined with dynamic convolution with scale information, the network can extract more differentiated feature information. The introduction of a channel More >

Abstract In underground engineering, the detection of structural cracks on tunnel surfaces stands as a pivotal task in ensuring the health and reliability of tunnel structures. However, the dim and dusty environment inherent to underground engineering poses considerable challenges to crack segmentation. This paper proposes a crack segmentation algorithm termed as Focused Detection for Subsurface Cracks YOLOv8 (FDSC-YOLOv8) specifically designed for underground engineering structural surfaces. Firstly, to improve the extraction of multi-layer convolutional features, the fixed convolutional module is replaced with a deformable convolutional module. Secondly, the model’s receptive field is enhanced by introducing a multi-branch More >

Abstract The degradation of optical remote sensing images due to atmospheric haze poses a significant obstacle, profoundly impeding their effective utilization across various domains. Dehazing methodologies have emerged as pivotal components of image preprocessing, fostering an improvement in the quality of remote sensing imagery. This enhancement renders remote sensing data more indispensable, thereby enhancing the accuracy of target identification. Conventional defogging techniques based on simplistic atmospheric degradation models have proven inadequate for mitigating non-uniform haze within remotely sensed images. In response to this challenge, a novel UNet Residual Attention Network (URA-Net) is proposed. This paradigmatic approach… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Due to the spectral and spatial properties of pervious and impervious surfaces, image classification and information extraction in detailed, small-scale mapping of urban surface materials is quite difficult and complex. Emerging methods and innovations in image classification have centred on object-based classification techniques and various segmentation techniques, which are fundamental to this approach. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to determine which classification method is most suitable for extracting linear features in terms of techniques and performance by comparing two classification methods, pixel-based approach and object-based approach, using WorldView-2 satellite imagery to specifically highlight… More > Graphic Abstract
