Abstract Anomaly detection in wind turbines involves emphasizing its ability to improve operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, extend their lifespan, and enhance reliability in the wind energy sector. This is particularly necessary in offshore wind, currently one of the most critical assets for achieving sustainable energy generation goals, due to the harsh marine environment and the difficulty of maintenance tasks. To address this problem, this work proposes a data-driven methodology for detecting power generation anomalies in offshore wind turbines, using normalized and linearized operational data. The proposed framework transforms heterogeneous wind speed and power measurements into… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In recent decades, brain tumors have emerged as a serious neurological disorder that often leads to death. Hence, Brain Tumor Segmentation (BTS) is significant to enable the visualization, classification, and delineation of tumor regions in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, BTS remains a challenging task because of noise, non-uniform object texture, diverse image content and clustered objects. To address these challenges, a novel model is implemented in this research. The key objective of this research is to improve segmentation accuracy and generalization in BTS by incorporating Switchable Normalization into Faster R-CNN, which effectively captures the… More >

Abstract On-device Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerators capable of not only inference but also training neural network models are in increasing demand in the industrial AI field, where frequent retraining is crucial due to frequent production changes. Batch normalization (BN) is fundamental to training convolutional neural networks (CNNs), but its implementation in compact accelerator chips remains challenging due to computational complexity, particularly in calculating statistical parameters and gradients across mini-batches. Existing accelerator architectures either compromise the training accuracy of CNNs through approximations or require substantial computational resources, limiting their practical deployment. We present a hardware-optimized BN accelerator… More >

Abstract Underwater shipwreck identification technology, as a crucial technique in the field of marine surveying, plays a significant role in areas such as the search and rescue of maritime disaster shipwrecks. When facing the task of object detection in shipwreck side-scan sonar images, due to the complex seabed environment, it is difficult to extract object features, often leading to missed detections of shipwreck images and slow detection speed. To address these issues, this paper proposes an object detection algorithm, CSC-YOLO (Context Guided Block, Shared Conv_Group Normalization Detection, Cross Stage Partial with 2 Partial Convolution-You Only Look… More >

Abstract Brain signal analysis from electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings is the gold standard for diagnosing various neural disorders especially epileptic seizure. Seizure signals are highly chaotic compared to normal brain signals and thus can be identified from EEG recordings. In the current seizure detection and classification landscape, most models primarily focus on binary classification—distinguishing between seizure and non-seizure states. While effective for basic detection, these models fail to address the nuanced stages of seizures and the intervals between them. Accurate identification of per-seizure or interictal stages and the timing between seizures is crucial for an effective seizure… More >

Abstract Cancer-related to the nervous system and brain tumors is a leading cause of mortality in various countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are utilized to capture brain images. MRI plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of brain tumors and the examination of other brain disorders. Typically, manual assessment of MRI images by radiologists or experts is performed to identify brain tumors and abnormalities in the early stages for timely intervention. However, early diagnosis of brain tumors is intricate, necessitating the use of computerized methods. This research introduces an innovative approach for… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Pancreatic diseases, including mass-forming chronic pancreatitis (MFCP) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), present with similar imaging features, leading to diagnostic complexities. Deep Learning (DL) methods have been shown to perform well on diagnostic tasks. Existing DL pancreatic lesion diagnosis studies based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilize the prior information to guide models to focus on the lesion region. However, over-reliance on prior information may ignore the background information that is helpful for diagnosis. This study verifies the diagnostic significance of the background information using a clinical dataset. Consequently, the Prior Difference Guidance Network (PDGNet)… More >

Abstract This paper presents a novel computerized technique for the segmentation of nuclei in hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained histopathology images. The purpose of this study is to overcome the challenges faced in automated nuclei segmentation due to the diversity of nuclei structures that arise from differences in tissue types and staining protocols, as well as the segmentation of variable-sized and overlapping nuclei. To this extent, the approach proposed in this study uses an ensemble of the UNet architecture with various Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) architectures as encoder backbones, along with stain normalization and test time… More >

Abstract As an indispensable part of identity authentication, offline writer identification plays a notable role in biology, forensics, and historical document analysis. However, identifying handwriting efficiently, stably, and quickly is still challenging due to the method of extracting and processing handwriting features. In this paper, we propose an efficient system to identify writers through handwritten images, which integrates local and global features from similar handwritten images. The local features are modeled by effective aggregate processing, and global features are extracted through transfer learning. Specifically, the proposed system employs a pre-trained Residual Network to mine the relationship… More >

Abstract The main challenges in face swapping are the preservation and adaptive superimposition of attributes of two images. In this study, the Face Swapping Attention Network (FSA-Net) is proposed to generate photorealistic face swapping. The existing face-swapping methods ignore the blending attributes or mismatch the facial keypoint (cheek, mouth, eye, nose, etc.), which causes artifacts and makes the generated face silhouette non-realistic. To address this problem, a novel reinforced multi-aware attention module, referred to as RMAA, is proposed for handling facial fusion and expression occlusion flaws. The framework includes two stages. In the first stage, a More >
