Abstract Automatic crack detection of cement pavement chiefly benefits from the rapid development of deep learning, with convolutional neural networks (CNN) playing an important role in this field. However, as the performance of crack detection in cement pavement improves, the depth and width of the network structure are significantly increased, which necessitates more computing power and storage space. This limitation hampers the practical implementation of crack detection models on various platforms, particularly portable devices like small mobile devices. To solve these problems, we propose a dual-encoder-based network architecture that focuses on extracting more comprehensive fracture feature information and combines cross-fusion modules… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Image dehazing is a rapidly progressing research concept to enhance image contrast and resolution in computer vision applications. Owing to severe air dispersion, fog, and haze over the environment, hazy images pose specific challenges during information retrieval. With the advances in the learning theory, most of the learning-based techniques, in particular, deep neural networks are used for single-image dehazing. The existing approaches are extremely computationally complex, and the dehazed images are suffered from color distortion caused by the over-saturation and pseudo-shadow phenomenon. However, the slow convergence rate during training and haze residual is the two demerits in the conventional image… More >

Abstract In recent years, a gain in popularity and significance of science understanding has been observed due to the high paced progress in computer vision techniques and technologies. The primary focus of computer vision based scene understanding is to label each and every pixel in an image as the category of the object it belongs to. So it is required to combine segmentation and detection in a single framework. Recently many successful computer vision methods has been developed to aid scene understanding for a variety of real world application. Scene understanding systems typically involves detection and segmentation of different natural and… More >

Abstract With the rapid spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide, the establishment of an accurate and fast process to diagnose the disease is important. The routine real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test that is currently used does not provide such high accuracy or speed in the screening process. Among the good choices for an accurate and fast test to screen COVID-19 are deep learning techniques. In this study, a new convolutional neural network (CNN) framework for COVID-19 detection using computed tomography (CT) images is proposed. The EfficientNet architecture is applied as the backbone structure of the proposed network,… More >

Abstract Cultivated land extraction is essential for sustainable development and agriculture. In this paper, the network we propose is based on the encoderdecoder structure, which extracts the semantic segmentation neural network of cultivated land from satellite images and uses it for agricultural automation solutions. The encoder consists of two part: the first is the modified Xception, it can used as the feature extraction network, and the second is the atrous convolution, it can used to expand the receptive field and the context information to extract richer feature information. The decoder part uses the conventional upsampling operation to restore the original resolution.… More >
