Abstract In cornfields, factors such as the similarity between corn seedlings and weeds and the blurring of plant edge details pose challenges to corn and weed segmentation. In addition, remote areas such as farmland are usually constrained by limited computational resources and limited collected data. Therefore, it becomes necessary to lighten the model to better adapt to complex cornfield scene, and make full use of the limited data information. In this paper, we propose an improved image segmentation algorithm based on unet. Firstly, the inverted residual structure is introduced into the contraction path to reduce the… More >

Abstract Due to the time-varying topology and possible disturbances in a conflict environment, it is still challenging to maintain the mission performance of flying Ad hoc networks (FANET), which limits the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms in harsh environments. This paper proposes an intelligent framework to quickly recover the cooperative coverage mission by aggregating the historical spatio-temporal network with the attention mechanism. The mission resilience metric is introduced in conjunction with connectivity and coverage status information to simplify the optimization model. A spatio-temporal node pooling method is proposed to ensure all node location features… More >

Abstract Due to the rapid evolution of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) attacks, the emergence of new and rare attack samples, and even those never seen before, make it challenging for traditional rule-based detection methods to extract universal rules for effective detection. With the progress in techniques such as transfer learning and meta-learning, few-shot network attack detection has progressed. However, challenges in few-shot network attack detection arise from the inability of time sequence flow features to adapt to the fixed length input requirement of deep learning, difficulties in capturing rich information from original flow in the case… More >

Abstract Effective smart healthcare frameworks contain novel and emerging solutions for remote disease diagnostics, which aid in the prevention of several diseases including heart-related abnormalities. In this context, regular monitoring of cardiac patients through smart healthcare systems based on Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals has the potential to save many lives. In existing studies, several heart disease diagnostic systems are proposed by employing different state-of-the-art methods, however, improving such methods is always an intriguing area of research. Hence, in this research, a smart healthcare system is proposed for the diagnosis of heart disease using ECG signals. The proposed… More >

Abstract Text extraction from images using the traditional techniques of image collecting, and pattern recognition using machine learning consume time due to the amount of extracted features from the images. Deep Neural Networks introduce effective solutions to extract text features from images using a few techniques and the ability to train large datasets of images with significant results. This study proposes using Dual Maxpooling and concatenating convolution Neural Networks (CNN) layers with the activation functions Relu and the Optimized Leaky Relu (OLRelu). The proposed method works by dividing the word image into slices that contain characters.… More >

Abstract Infrared target detection models are more required than ever before to be deployed on embedded platforms, which requires models with less memory consumption and better real-time performance while considering accuracy. To address the above challenges, we propose a modified You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm PF-YOLOv4-Tiny. The algorithm incorporates spatial pyramidal pooling (SPP) and squeeze-and-excitation (SE) visual attention modules to enhance the target localization capability. The PANet-based-feature pyramid networks (P-FPN) are proposed to transfer semantic information and location information simultaneously to ameliorate detection accuracy. To lighten the network, the standard convolutions other than the backbone More >

Abstract Building an automatic fish recognition and detection system for large-scale fish classes is helpful for marine researchers and marine scientists because there are large numbers of fish species. However, it is quite difficult to build such systems owing to the lack of data imbalance problems and large number of classes. To solve these issues, we propose a transfer learning-based technique in which we use Efficient-Net, which is pre-trained on ImageNet dataset and fine-tuned on QuT Fish Database, which is a large scale dataset. Furthermore, prior to the activation layer, we use Global Average Pooling (GAP)… More >

Abstract The interpretability of deep learning models has emerged as a compelling area in artificial intelligence research. The safety criteria for medical imaging are highly stringent, and models are required for an explanation. However, existing convolutional neural network solutions for left ventricular segmentation are viewed in terms of inputs and outputs. Thus, the interpretability of CNNs has come into the spotlight. Since medical imaging data are limited, many methods to fine-tune medical imaging models that are popular in transfer models have been built using massive public ImageNet datasets by the transfer learning method. Unfortunately, this generates… More >

Abstract Social Networking Sites (SNSs) are nowadays utilized by the whole world to share ideas, images, and valuable contents by means of a post to reach a group of users. The use of SNS often inflicts the physical and the mental health of the people. Nowadays, researchers often focus on identifying the illegal behaviors in the SNS to reduce its negative influence. The state-of-art Natural Language processing techniques for anomaly detection have utilized a wide annotated corpus to identify the anomalies and they are often time-consuming as well as certainly do not guarantee maximum accuracy.

Abstract Recent developments in computer vision applications have enabled detection of significant visual objects in video streams. Studies quoted in literature have detected objects from video streams using Spatiotemporal Particle Swarm Optimization (SPSOM) and Incremental Deep Convolution Neural Networks (IDCNN) for detecting multiple objects. However, the study considered optical flows resulting in assessing motion contrasts. Existing methods have issue with accuracy and error rates in motion contrast detection. Hence, the overall object detection performance is reduced significantly. Thus, consideration of object motions in videos efficiently is a critical issue to be solved. To overcome the above… More >
