To investigate the fault diagnosis of diesel engines, fractal correlation dimension, wavelet energy and entropy as features reflecting the diesel engine fault fractal and energy characteristics are extracted from the decomposed signals through analyzing vibration acceleration signals derived from the cylinder head in seven different states of valve train. An intelligent fault detector FastICA-SVM is applied for diesel engine fault diagnosis and classification. The results demonstrate that FastlCA-SVM achieves higher classification accuracy and makes better general- ization performance in small samples recognition. Besides, the fractal correlation dimension and wavelet energy and entropy as the special features of diesel engine vibration signal are considered as input vectors of classifier FastlCA- SVM and could produce the excellent classification results. The proposed methodology improves the accuracy of fea- ture extraction and the fault diagnosis of diesel engines.展开更多

The Hilbert spectrum thus obtained is able to reflect the distribution of the signal energy in a number of scales accurately. In this paper, a novel feature called ECC is proposed via feature extraction of the Hilbert energy spectrum which describes the distribution of the instantaneous energy.

The monitoring data were first modeled as ARMA models, while a principalcomponent matrix derived from the AR coefficients of these models was utilized to establish the Mahalanobisdistance criterion functions. Then, a new damage-sensitive feature index DDSF is proposed. A hypothesis test involving the t-test method is further applied to obtain a decision of damage alarming as the mean value of DDSF had significantly changed after damage. The numerical results of a three-span-girder model shows that the defined index is sensitive to subtle structural damage, and the proposed algorithm can be applied to the on-line damage alarming in SHM.展开更多

文摘Considering that the algorithm accuracy of the traditional sparse representation models is not high under the influence of multiple complex environmental factors,this study focuses on the improvement of feature extraction and model construction.Firstly,the convolutional neural network(CNN)features of the face are extracted by the trained deep learning network.Next,the steady-state and dynamic classifiers for face recognition are constructed based on the CNN features and Haar features respectively,with two-stage sparse representation introduced in the process of constructing the steady-state classifier and the feature templates with high reliability are dynamically selected as alternative templates from the sparse representation template dictionary constructed using the CNN features.Finally,the results of face recognition are given based on the classification results of the steady-state classifier and the dynamic classifier together.Based on this,the feature weights of the steady-state classifier template are adjusted in real time and the dictionary set is dynamically updated to reduce the probability of irrelevant features entering the dictionary set.The average recognition accuracy of this method is 94.45%on the CMU PIE face database and 96.58%on the AR face database,which is significantly improved compared with that of the traditional face recognition methods.
文摘[Objective]Accurate prediction of tomato growth height is crucial for optimizing production environments in smart farming.However,current prediction methods predominantly rely on empirical,mechanistic,or learning-based models that utilize either images data or environmental data.These methods fail to fully leverage multi-modal data to capture the diverse aspects of plant growth comprehensively.[Methods]To address this limitation,a two-stage phenotypic feature extraction(PFE)model based on deep learning algorithm of recurrent neural network(RNN)and long short-term memory(LSTM)was developed.The model integrated environment and plant information to provide a holistic understanding of the growth process,emploied phenotypic and temporal feature extractors to comprehensively capture both types of features,enabled a deeper understanding of the interaction between tomato plants and their environment,ultimately leading to highly accurate predictions of growth height.[Results and Discussions]The experimental results showed the model's ef‐fectiveness:When predicting the next two days based on the past five days,the PFE-based RNN and LSTM models achieved mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)of 0.81%and 0.40%,respectively,which were significantly lower than the 8.00%MAPE of the large language model(LLM)and 6.72%MAPE of the Transformer-based model.In longer-term predictions,the 10-day prediction for 4 days ahead and the 30-day prediction for 12 days ahead,the PFE-RNN model continued to outperform the other two baseline models,with MAPE of 2.66%and 14.05%,respectively.[Conclusions]The proposed method,which leverages phenotypic-temporal collaboration,shows great potential for intelligent,data-driven management of tomato cultivation,making it a promising approach for enhancing the efficiency and precision of smart tomato planting management.

文摘Hematoxylin and Eosin(H&E)images,popularly used in the field of digital pathology,often pose challenges due to their limited color richness,hindering the differentiation of subtle cell features crucial for accurate classification.Enhancing the visibility of these elusive cell features helps train robust deep-learning models.However,the selection and application of image processing techniques for such enhancement have not been systematically explored in the research community.To address this challenge,we introduce Salient Features Guided Augmentation(SFGA),an approach that strategically integrates machine learning and image processing.SFGA utilizes machine learning algorithms to identify crucial features within cell images,subsequently mapping these features to appropriate image processing techniques to enhance training images.By emphasizing salient features and aligning them with corresponding image processing methods,SFGA is designed to enhance the discriminating power of deep learning models in cell classification tasks.Our research undertakes a series of experiments,each exploring the performance of different datasets and data enhancement techniques in classifying cell types,highlighting the significance of data quality and enhancement in mitigating overfitting and distinguishing cell characteristics.Specifically,SFGA focuses on identifying tumor cells from tissue for extranodal extension detection,with the SFGA-enhanced dataset showing notable advantages in accuracy.We conducted a preliminary study of five experiments,among which the accuracy of the pleomorphism experiment improved significantly from 50.81%to 95.15%.The accuracy of the other four experiments also increased,with improvements ranging from 3 to 43 percentage points.Our preliminary study shows the possibilities to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of deep learning models and proposes a systematic approach that could enhance cancer diagnosis,contributing as a first step in using SFGA in medical image enhancement.

文摘Detecting cyber attacks in networks connected to the Internet of Things(IoT)is of utmost importance because of the growing vulnerabilities in the smart environment.Conventional models,such as Naive Bayes and support vector machine(SVM),as well as ensemble methods,such as Gradient Boosting and eXtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),are often plagued by high computational costs,which makes it challenging for them to perform real-time detection.In this regard,we suggested an attack detection approach that integrates Visual Geometry Group 16(VGG16),Artificial Rabbits Optimizer(ARO),and Random Forest Model to increase detection accuracy and operational efficiency in Internet of Things(IoT)networks.In the suggested model,the extraction of features from malware pictures was accomplished with the help of VGG16.The prediction process is carried out by the random forest model using the extracted features from the VGG16.Additionally,ARO is used to improve the hyper-parameters of the random forest model of the random forest.With an accuracy of 96.36%,the suggested model outperforms the standard models in terms of accuracy,F1-score,precision,and recall.The comparative research highlights our strategy’s success,which improves performance while maintaining a lower computational cost.This method is ideal for real-time applications,but it is effective.

文摘Real-time detection of surface defects on cables is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of power systems.However,existing methods struggle with small target sizes,complex backgrounds,low-quality image acquisition,and interference from contamination.To address these challenges,this paper proposes the Real-time Cable Defect Detection Network(RC2DNet),which achieves an optimal balance between detection accuracy and computational efficiency.Unlike conventional approaches,RC2DNet introduces a small object feature extraction module that enhances the semantic representation of small targets through feature pyramids,multi-level feature fusion,and an adaptive weighting mechanism.Additionally,a boundary feature enhancement module is designed,incorporating boundary-aware convolution,a novel boundary attention mechanism,and an improved loss function to significantly enhance boundary localization accuracy.Experimental results demonstrate that RC2DNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods in precision,recall,F1-score,mean Intersection over Union(mIoU),and frame rate,enabling real-time and highly accurate cable defect detection in complex backgrounds.

文摘The success of robot-assisted pelvic fracture reduction surgery heavily relies on the accuracy of 3D/3D feature-based registration.This process involves extracting anatomical feature points from pre-operative 3D images which can be challenging because of the complex and variable structure of the pelvis.PointMLP_RegNet,a modified PointMLP,was introduced to address this issue.It retains the feature extraction module of PointMLP but replaces the classification layer with a regression layer to predict the coordinates of feature points instead of conducting regular classification.A flowchart for an automatic feature points extraction method was presented,and a series of experiments was conducted on a clinical pelvic dataset to confirm the accuracy and effectiveness of the method.PointMLP_RegNet extracted feature points more accurately,with 8 out of 10 points showing less than 4 mm errors and the remaining two less than 5 mm.Compared to PointNettt and PointNet,it exhibited higher accuracy,robustness and space efficiency.The proposed method will improve the accuracy of anatomical feature points extraction,enhance intra-operative registration precision and facilitate the widespread clinical application of robot-assisted pelvic fracture reduction.

文摘Aiming at the problem of on-line damage diagnosis in structural health monitoring （SHM）, an algorithm of feature extraction and damage alarming based on auto-regressive moving-average （ARMA） time series analysis is presented. The monitoring data were first modeled as ARMA models, while a principalcomponent matrix derived from the AR coefficients of these models was utilized to establish the Mahalanobisdistance criterion functions. Then, a new damage-sensitive feature index DDSF is proposed. A hypothesis test involving the t-test method is further applied to obtain a decision of damage alarming as the mean value of DDSF had significantly changed after damage. The numerical results of a three-span-girder model shows that the defined index is sensitive to subtle structural damage, and the proposed algorithm can be applied to the on-line damage alarming in SHM.
