Abstract To protect the environment, the discharged sewage’s quality must meet the state’s discharge standards. There are many water quality indicators, and the pH (Potential of Hydrogen) value is one of them. The natural water’s pH value is 6.0–8.5. The sewage treatment plant uses some data in the sewage treatment process to monitor and predict whether wastewater’s pH value will exceed the standard. This paper aims to study the deep learning prediction model of wastewater’s pH. Firstly, the research uses the random forest method to select the data features and then, based on the sliding window, convert the data set into… More >

Abstract Since COVID-19 infections are increasing all over the world, there is a need for developing solutions for its early and accurate diagnosis is a must. Detection methods for COVID-19 include screening methods like Chest X-rays and Computed Tomography (CT) scans. More work must be done on preprocessing the datasets, such as eliminating the diaphragm portions, enhancing the image intensity, and minimizing noise. In addition to the detection of COVID-19, the severity of the infection needs to be estimated. The HSDC model is proposed to solve these problems, which will detect and classify the severity of COVID-19 from X-ray and CT-scan… More >

Abstract Current revelations in medical imaging have seen a slew of computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) tools for radiologists developed. Brain tumor classification is essential for radiologists to fully support and better interpret magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this work, we reported on new observations based on binary brain tumor categorization using HYBRID CNN-LSTM. Initially, the collected image is pre-processed and augmented using the following steps such as rotation, cropping, zooming, CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization), and Random Rotation with panoramic stitching (RRPS). Then, a method called particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to segment tumor regions in an MR image. After… More >

Abstract As a current popular method, intelligent detection of cracks is of great significance to road safety, so deep learning has gradually attracted attention in the field of crack image detection. The nonlinear structure, low contrast and discontinuity of cracks bring great challenges to existing crack detection methods based on deep learning. Therefore, an end-to-end deep convolutional neural network (AttentionCrack) is proposed for automatic crack detection to overcome the inaccuracy of boundary location between crack and non-crack pixels. The AttentionCrack network is built on U-Net based encoder-decoder architecture, and an attention mechanism is incorporated into the multi-scale convolutional feature to enhance… More >

Abstract The deep learning models are identified as having a significant impact on various problems. The same can be adapted to the problem of brain tumor classification. However, several deep learning models are presented earlier, but they need better classification accuracy. An efficient Multi-Feature Approximation Based Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model (MFA-CNN) is proposed to handle this issue. The method reads the input 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images and applies Gabor filters at multiple levels. The noise-removed image has been equalized for its quality by using histogram equalization. Further, the features like white mass, grey mass, texture, and shape are… More >

Abstract Accurate identification of rice diseases is crucial for controlling diseases and improving rice yield. To improve the classification accuracy of rice diseases, this paper proposed a classification and identification method based on an improved ShuffleNet V2 (GE-ShuffleNet) model. Firstly, the Ghost module is used to replace the convolution in the two basic unit modules of ShuffleNet V2, and the unimportant convolution is deleted from the two basic unit modules of ShuffleNet V2. The Hardswish activation function is applied to replace the ReLU activation function to improve the identification accuracy of the model. Secondly, an effective channel attention (ECA) module is… More >

Abstract As deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely adopted, the complexity of CNNs is rapidly increasing due to the growing demand for CNN accelerator system-on-chip (SoC). Although conventional CNN accelerators can reduce the computational time of learning and inference tasks, they tend to occupy large chip areas due to many multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operators when implemented in complex digital circuits, incurring excessive power consumption. To overcome these drawbacks, this work implements an analog convolutional filter consisting of an analog multiply-and-accumulate arithmetic circuit along with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This paper introduces the architecture of an analog convolutional… More >

Abstract In the proposed paper, a parallel structure type Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) using edge and texture information is proposed. In the existing GAN-based model, many learning iterations had to be given to obtaining an output that was somewhat close to the original data, and noise and distortion occurred in the output image even when learning was performed. To solve this problem, the proposed model consists of two generators and three discriminators to propose a network in the form of a parallel structure. In the network, each edge information and texture information were received as inputs, learning was performed, and each… More >

Abstract As the scale of the power system continues to expand, the environment for power operations becomes more and more complex. Existing risk management and control methods for power operations can only set the same risk detection standard and conduct the risk detection for any scenario indiscriminately. Therefore, more reliable and accurate security control methods are urgently needed. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the operation risk management and control method, this paper proposes a method for identifying the key links in the whole process of electric power operation based on the spatiotemporal hybrid convolutional neural network.
