Abstract Time series prediction has always been an important problem in the field of machine learning. Among them, power load forecasting plays a crucial role in identifying the behavior of photovoltaic power plants and regulating their control strategies. Traditional power load forecasting often has poor feature extraction performance for long time series. In this paper, a new deep learning framework Residual Stacked Temporal Long Short-Term Memory (RST-LSTM) is proposed, which combines wavelet decomposition and time convolutional memory network to solve the problem of feature extraction for long sequences. The network framework of RST-LSTM consists of two More >

Abstract Hidden capacity, concealment, security, and robustness are essential indicators of hiding algorithms. Currently, hiding algorithms tend to focus on algorithmic capacity, concealment, and security but often overlook the robustness of the algorithms. In practical applications, the container can suffer from damage caused by noise, cropping, and other attacks during transmission, resulting in challenging or even impossible complete recovery of the secret image. An image hiding algorithm based on dynamic region attention in the multi-scale wavelet domain is proposed to address this issue and enhance the robustness of hiding algorithms. In this proposed algorithm, a secret… More >

Abstract The denoising of microseismic signals is a prerequisite for subsequent analysis and research. In this research, a new microseismic signal denoising algorithm called the Black Widow Optimization Algorithm (BWOA) optimized Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) joint Wavelet Threshold Denoising (WTD) algorithm (BVW) is proposed. The BVW algorithm integrates VMD and WTD, both of which are optimized by BWOA. Specifically, this algorithm utilizes VMD to decompose the microseismic signal to be denoised into several Band-Limited Intrinsic Mode Functions (BLIMFs). Subsequently, these BLIMFs whose correlation coefficients with the microseismic signal to be denoised are higher than a threshold… More >

Abstract Multi-modality medical images are essential in healthcare as they provide valuable insights for disease diagnosis and treatment. To harness the complementary data provided by various modalities, these images are amalgamated to create a single, more informative image. This fusion process enhances the overall quality and comprehensiveness of the medical imagery, aiding healthcare professionals in making accurate diagnoses and informed treatment decisions. In this study, we propose a new hybrid pre-processing approach, Laplacian Filter + Discrete Fourier Transform (LF+DFT), to enhance medical images before fusion. The LF+DFT approach highlights key details, captures small information, and sharpens… More >

Abstract Addressing the challenges posed by the nonlinear and non-stationary vibrations in rotating machinery, where weak fault characteristic signals hinder accurate fault state representation, we propose a novel feature extraction method that combines the Flexible Analytic Wavelet Transform (FAWT) with Nonlinear Quantum Permutation Entropy. FAWT, leveraging fractional orders and arbitrary scaling and translation factors, exhibits superior translational invariance and adjustable fundamental oscillatory characteristics. This flexibility enables FAWT to provide well-suited wavelet shapes, effectively matching subtle fault components and avoiding performance degradation associated with fixed frequency partitioning and low-oscillation bases in detecting weak faults. In our approach,… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problem of energy storage unit failure in the spring operating mechanism of low voltage circuit breakers (LVCBs). A fault diagnosis algorithm based on an improved Sparrow Search Algorithm (ISSA) optimized Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) is proposed to improve the operational safety of LVCB. Taking the 1.5kV/4000A/75kA LVCB as an example. According to the current operating characteristics of the energy storage motor, fault characteristics are extracted based on Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT). Traditional BPNN has problems such as difficulty adjusting network weights and thresholds, being sensitive to initial weights, and quickly falling into More >

Abstract In this paper, an intelligent damage detection approach is proposed for steel-concrete composite beams based on deep learning and wavelet analysis. To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, first, following the guidelines provided by relevant standards, steel-concrete composite beams are designed, and six different damage incidents are established. Second, a steel ball is used for free-fall excitation on the surface of the steel-concrete composite beams and a low-temperature-sensitive quasi-distributed long-gauge fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensor is used to obtain the strain signals of the steel-concrete composite beams with different damage types. To reduce the… More >

Abstract This paper expounds upon a novel target detection methodology distinguished by its elevated discriminatory efficacy, specifically tailored for environments characterized by markedly low luminance levels. Conventional methodologies struggle with the challenges posed by luminosity fluctuations, especially in settings characterized by diminished radiance, further exacerbated by the utilization of suboptimal imaging instrumentation. The envisioned approach mandates a departure from the conventional YOLOX model, which exhibits inadequacies in mitigating these challenges. To enhance the efficacy of this approach in low-light conditions, the dehazing algorithm undergoes refinement, effecting a discerning regulation of the transmission rate at the pixel… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Recently, there have been several uses for digital image processing. Image fusion has become a prominent application in the domain of imaging processing. To create one final image that proves more informative and helpful compared to the original input images, image fusion merges two or more initial images of the same item. Image fusion aims to produce, enhance, and transform significant elements of the source images into combined images for the sake of human visual perception. Image fusion is commonly employed for feature extraction in smart robots, clinical imaging, audiovisual camera integration, manufacturing process monitoring,… 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… More >
