Acoustic Emission (AE) technology has shown promise for identifying and monitoring these defects, and this study evaluates an advanced on-vehicle AE detection approach using bone-conduct sensors—a solution to improve upon previous AE methods of using on-rail sensor installations, which required extensive, costly on-rail sensor networks with limited effectiveness. In response to these challenges, the study specifically explored bone-conduct sensors mounted directly on the vehicle rather than rails by evaluating AE signals generated by the interaction between rails and the train’s wheels while in motion. In this research, a prototype detection system was developed and tested through initial trials at the Nevada Railroad Museum using a track with pre-damaged welding defects. Further testing was conducted at the Transportation Technology Center Inc. (rebranded as MxV Rail) in Colorado, where the system’s performance was evaluated across various defect types and train speeds. The results indicated that bone-conduct sensors were insufficient for detecting AE signals when mounted on moving vehicles. These findings highlight the limitations of contact-based methods in real-world applications and indicate the need for exploring improved, non-contact approaches.展开更多

文摘Conventional superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors(SNSPDs)have been typically limited in their applications due to their size,weight,and power consumption,which confine their use to laboratory settings.However,with the rapid development of remote imaging,sensing technologies,and long-range quantum communication with fewer topographical constraints,the demand for high-efficiency single-photon detectors integrated with avionic platforms is rapidly growing.We herein designed and manufactured the first drone-based SNSPD system with a system detection efficiency(SDE)as high as 91.8%.This drone-based system incorporates high-performance NbTiN SNSPDs,a self-developed miniature liquid helium dewar,and custom-built integrated electrical setups,making it capable of being launched in complex topographical conditions.Such a drone-based SNSPD system may open the use of SNSPDs for applications that demand high SDE in complex environments.
文摘In recent years,advancements in autonomous vehicle technology have accelerated,promising safer and more efficient transportation systems.However,achieving fully autonomous driving in challenging weather conditions,particularly in snowy environments,remains a challenge.Snow-covered roads introduce unpredictable surface conditions,occlusions,and reduced visibility,that require robust and adaptive path detection algorithms.This paper presents an enhanced road detection framework for snowy environments,leveraging Simple Framework forContrastive Learning of Visual Representations(SimCLR)for Self-Supervised pretraining,hyperparameter optimization,and uncertainty-aware object detection to improve the performance of YouOnly Look Once version 8(YOLOv8).Themodel is trained and evaluated on a custom-built dataset collected from snowy roads in Tromsø,Norway,which covers a range of snow textures,illumination conditions,and road geometries.The proposed framework achieves scores in terms of mAP@50 equal to 99%and mAP@50–95 equal to 97%,demonstrating the effectiveness of YOLOv8 for real-time road detection in extreme winter conditions.The findings contribute to the safe and reliable deployment of autonomous vehicles in Arctic environments,enabling robust decision-making in hazardous weather conditions.This research lays the groundwork for more resilient perceptionmodels in self-driving systems,paving the way for the future development of intelligent and adaptive transportation networks.

文摘The presence of aluminum(Al^(3+))and fluoride(F^(−))ions in the environment can be harmful to ecosystems and human health,highlighting the need for accurate and efficient monitoring.In this paper,an innovative approach is presented that leverages the power of machine learning to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of fluorescence-based detection for sequential quantitative analysis of aluminum(Al^(3+))and fluoride(F^(−))ions in aqueous solutions.The proposed method involves the synthesis of sulfur-functionalized carbon dots(C-dots)as fluorescence probes,with fluorescence enhancement upon interaction with Al^(3+)ions,achieving a detection limit of 4.2 nmol/L.Subsequently,in the presence of F^(−)ions,fluorescence is quenched,with a detection limit of 47.6 nmol/L.The fingerprints of fluorescence images are extracted using a cross-platform computer vision library in Python,followed by data preprocessing.Subsequently,the fingerprint data is subjected to cluster analysis using the K-means model from machine learning,and the average Silhouette Coefficient indicates excellent model performance.Finally,a regression analysis based on the principal component analysis method is employed to achieve more precise quantitative analysis of aluminum and fluoride ions.The results demonstrate that the developed model excels in terms of accuracy and sensitivity.This groundbreaking model not only showcases exceptional performance but also addresses the urgent need for effective environmental monitoring and risk assessment,making it a valuable tool for safeguarding our ecosystems and public health.

文摘An improved model based on you only look once version 8(YOLOv8)is proposed to solve the problem of low detection accuracy due to the diversity of object sizes in optical remote sensing images.Firstly,the feature pyramid network(FPN)structure of the original YOLOv8 mode is replaced by the generalized-FPN(GFPN)structure in GiraffeDet to realize the"cross-layer"and"cross-scale"adaptive feature fusion,to enrich the semantic information and spatial information on the feature map to improve the target detection ability of the model.Secondly,a pyramid-pool module of multi atrous spatial pyramid pooling(MASPP)is designed by using the idea of atrous convolution and feature pyramid structure to extract multi-scale features,so as to improve the processing ability of the model for multi-scale objects.The experimental results show that the detection accuracy of the improved YOLOv8 model on DIOR dataset is 92%and mean average precision(mAP)is 87.9%,respectively 3.5%and 1.7%higher than those of the original model.It is proved the detection and classification ability of the proposed model on multi-dimensional optical remote sensing target has been improved.
文摘For segmented detectors,surface flatness is critical as it directly influences both energy resolution and image clarity.Additionally,the limited adjustment range of the segmented detectors necessitates precise benchmark construction.This paper proposes an architecture for detecting detector flatness based on channel spectral dispersion.By measuring the dispersion fringes for coplanar adjustment,the final adjustment residual is improved to better than 300 nm.This result validates the feasibility of the proposed technology and provides significant technical support for the development of next-generation large-aperture sky survey equipment.
文摘Rail defects can pose significant safety risks in railway operations, raising the need for effective detection methods. Acoustic Emission (AE) technology has shown promise for identifying and monitoring these defects, and this study evaluates an advanced on-vehicle AE detection approach using bone-conduct sensors—a solution to improve upon previous AE methods of using on-rail sensor installations, which required extensive, costly on-rail sensor networks with limited effectiveness. In response to these challenges, the study specifically explored bone-conduct sensors mounted directly on the vehicle rather than rails by evaluating AE signals generated by the interaction between rails and the train’s wheels while in motion. In this research, a prototype detection system was developed and tested through initial trials at the Nevada Railroad Museum using a track with pre-damaged welding defects. Further testing was conducted at the Transportation Technology Center Inc. (rebranded as MxV Rail) in Colorado, where the system’s performance was evaluated across various defect types and train speeds. The results indicated that bone-conduct sensors were insufficient for detecting AE signals when mounted on moving vehicles. These findings highlight the limitations of contact-based methods in real-world applications and indicate the need for exploring improved, non-contact approaches.

文摘Fire can cause significant damage to the environment,economy,and human lives.If fire can be detected early,the damage can be minimized.Advances in technology,particularly in computer vision powered by deep learning,have enabled automated fire detection in images and videos.Several deep learning models have been developed for object detection,including applications in fire and smoke detection.This study focuses on optimizing the training hyperparameters of YOLOv8 andYOLOv10models usingBayesianTuning(BT).Experimental results on the large-scale D-Fire dataset demonstrate that this approach enhances detection performance.Specifically,the proposed approach improves the mean average precision at an Intersection over Union(IoU)threshold of 0.5(mAP50)of the YOLOv8s,YOLOv10s,YOLOv8l,and YOLOv10lmodels by 0.26,0.21,0.84,and 0.63,respectively,compared tomodels trainedwith the default hyperparameters.The performance gains are more pronounced in larger models,YOLOv8l and YOLOv10l,than in their smaller counterparts,YOLOv8s and YOLOv10s.Furthermore,YOLOv8 models consistently outperform YOLOv10,with mAP50 improvements of 0.26 for YOLOv8s over YOLOv10s and 0.65 for YOLOv8l over YOLOv10l when trained with BT.These results establish YOLOv8 as the preferred model for fire detection applications where detection performance is prioritized.
文摘The sinkhole attack is one of the most damaging threats in the Internet of Things(IoT).It deceptively attracts neighboring nodes and initiates malicious activity,often disrupting the network when combined with other attacks.This study proposes a novel approach,named NADSA,to detect and isolate sinkhole attacks.NADSA is based on the RPL protocol and consists of two detection phases.In the first phase,the minimum possible hop count between the sender and receiver is calculated and compared with the sender’s reported hop count.The second phase utilizes the number of DIO messages to identify suspicious nodes and then applies a fuzzification process using RSSI,ETX,and distance measurements to confirm the presence of a malicious node.The proposed method is extensively simulated in highly lossy and sparse network environments with varying numbers of nodes.The results demonstrate that NADSA achieves high efficiency,with PDRs of 68%,70%,and 73%;E2EDs of 81,72,and 60 ms;TPRs of 89%,83%,and 80%;and FPRs of 24%,28%,and 33%.NADSA outperforms existing methods in challenging network conditions,where traditional approaches typically degrade in effectiveness.

文摘UAV-based object detection is rapidly expanding in both civilian and military applications,including security surveillance,disaster assessment,and border patrol.However,challenges such as small objects,occlusions,complex backgrounds,and variable lighting persist due to the unique perspective of UAV imagery.To address these issues,this paper introduces DAFPN-YOLO,an innovative model based on YOLOv8s(You Only Look Once version 8s).Themodel strikes a balance between detection accuracy and speed while reducing parameters,making itwell-suited for multi-object detection tasks from drone perspectives.A key feature of DAFPN-YOLO is the enhanced Drone-AFPN(Adaptive Feature Pyramid Network),which adaptively fuses multi-scale features to optimize feature extraction and enhance spatial and small-object information.To leverage Drone-AFPN’smulti-scale capabilities fully,a dedicated 160×160 small-object detection head was added,significantly boosting detection accuracy for small targets.In the backbone,the C2f_Dual(Cross Stage Partial with Cross-Stage Feature Fusion Dual)module and SPPELAN(Spatial Pyramid Pooling with Enhanced LocalAttentionNetwork)modulewere integrated.These components improve feature extraction and information aggregationwhile reducing parameters and computational complexity,enhancing inference efficiency.Additionally,Shape-IoU(Shape Intersection over Union)is used as the loss function for bounding box regression,enabling more precise shape-based object matching.Experimental results on the VisDrone 2019 dataset demonstrate the effectiveness ofDAFPN-YOLO.Compared to YOLOv8s,the proposedmodel achieves a 5.4 percentage point increase inmAP@0.5,a 3.8 percentage point improvement in mAP@0.5:0.95,and a 17.2%reduction in parameter count.These results highlight DAFPN-YOLO’s advantages in UAV-based object detection,offering valuable insights for applying deep learning to UAV-specific multi-object detection tasks.

文摘Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen widely distributed in the natural environment,which can cause a variety of infections,especially in people with low immunity and high pathogenicity.In recent years,significant progress has been made in the detection technology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,covering traditional methods,molecular biology techniques,immunological methods and automated detection systems.Traditional methods such as the national standard method and the filter membrane method are easy to operate,but have the problems of long time consuming and limited sensitivity.Molecular biological techniques(such as PCR,gene cloning)and immunological methods(such as ELISA,colloidal gold immunochromatography)have significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity of detection,but they require high equipment and technology,and are expensive.Automated detection systems,such as VITEK 2 Compact and AutoMS 1000 mass spectrometry identification system,are excellent in improving detection efficiency and accuracy,but their high cost and complex operation process limit their wide application.In addition,the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to bacteriostatic agents further increases the difficulty of detection.In this paper,the development and application of immunological detection technology,molecular biological technology and immunological technology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were reviewed,and the principles,advantages,disadvantages and research progress of various detection technologies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were described,and the future development trend was prospected,in order to provide reference for the optimization and development of detection methods of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

文摘The growing incidence of cyberattacks necessitates a robust and effective Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)for enhanced network security.While conventional IDSs can be unsuitable for detecting different and emerging attacks,there is a demand for better techniques to improve detection reliability.This study introduces a new method,the Deep Adaptive Multi-Layer Attention Network(DAMLAN),to boost the result of intrusion detection on network data.Due to its multi-scale attention mechanisms and graph features,DAMLAN aims to address both known and unknown intrusions.The real-world NSL-KDD dataset,a popular choice among IDS researchers,is used to assess the proposed model.There are 67,343 normal samples and 58,630 intrusion attacks in the training set,12,833 normal samples,and 9711 intrusion attacks in the test set.Thus,the proposed DAMLAN method is more effective than the standard models due to the consideration of patterns by the attention layers.The experimental performance of the proposed model demonstrates that it achieves 99.26%training accuracy and 90.68%testing accuracy,with precision reaching 98.54%on the training set and 96.64%on the testing set.The recall and F1 scores again support the model with training set values of 99.90%and 99.21%and testing set values of 86.65%and 91.37%.These results provide a strong basis for the claims made regarding the model’s potential to identify intrusion attacks and affirm its relatively strong overall performance,irrespective of type.Future work would employ more attempts to extend the scalability and applicability of DAMLAN for real-time use in intrusion detection systems.

文摘Accurately identifying crop pests and diseases ensures agricultural productivity and safety.Although current YOLO-based detection models offer real-time capabilities,their conventional convolutional layers involve high computational redundancy and a fixed receptive field,making it challenging to capture local details and global semantics in complex scenarios simultaneously.This leads to significant issues like missed detections of small targets and heightened sensitivity to background interference.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a lightweight adaptive detection network—StarSpark-AdaptiveNet(SSANet),which optimizes features through a dual-module collaborative mechanism.Specifically,the StarNet module utilizes Depthwise separable convolutions(DW-Conv)and dynamic star operations to establish multi-stage feature extraction pathways,enhancing local detail perception within a lightweight framework.Moreover,the Multi-scale Adaptive Spatial Attention Gate(MASAG)module integrates cross-layer feature fusion and dynamic weight allocation to capture multi-scale global contextual information,effectively suppressing background noise.These modules jointly form a“local enhancement-global calibration”bidirectional optimization mechanism,significantly improving the model’s adaptability to complex disease patterns.Furthermore,the proposed Scale-based Dynamic Loss(SD Loss)dynamically adjusts the weight of scale and localization losses,improving regression stability and localization accuracy,especially for small targets.Experiments on the eggplant fruit disease dataset demonstrate that SSANet achieves an mAP50 of 83.9%and a detection speed of 273.5 FPS with only 2.11 M parameters and 5.1 GFLOPs computational cost,outperforming the baseline YOLO11 model by reducing parameters by 18.1%,increasing mAP50 by 1.3%,and improving inference speed by 9.1%.Ablation studies further confirm the effectiveness and complementarity of the modules.SSANet offers a high-accuracy,low-cost solution suitable for real-time pest and disease detection in crops,facilitating edge device deployment and promoting precision agriculture.
