Several deep-learning techniques have been applied to overcome the issue of pest detection on crops. We have developed the YOLOCSP-PEST model for Pest localization and classification. With the Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNET) backbone, the proposed model is a modified version of You Only Look Once Version 7 (YOLOv7) that is intended primarily for pest localization and classification. Our proposed model gives exceptionally good results under conditions that are very challenging for any other comparable models especially conditions where we have issues with the luminance and the orientation of the images. It helps farmers working out on their crops in distant areas to determine any infestation quickly and accurately on their crops which helps in the quality and quantity of the production yield. The model has been trained and tested on 2 datasets namely the IP102 data set and a local crop data set on both of which it has shown exceptional results. It gave us a mean average precision (mAP) of 88.40% along with a precision of 85.55% and a recall of 84.25% on the IP102 dataset meanwhile giving a mAP of 97.18% on the local data set along with a recall of 94.88% and a precision of 97.50%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed model is very effective in detecting real-life scenarios and can help in the production of crops improving the yield quality and quantity at the same time.展开更多

文摘Pine wilt disease(PWD)is currently one of the main causes of large-scale forest destruction.To control the spread of PWD,it is essential to detect affected pine trees quickly.This study investigated the feasibility of using the object-oriented multi-scale segmentation algorithm to identify trees discolored by PWD.We used an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)platform equipped with an RGB digital camera to obtain high spatial resolution images,and multiscale segmentation was applied to delineate the tree crown,coupling the use of object-oriented classification to classify trees discolored by PWD.Then,the optimal segmentation scale was implemented using the estimation of scale parameter(ESP2)plug-in.The feature space of the segmentation results was optimized,and appropriate features were selected for classification.The results showed that the optimal scale,shape,and compactness values of the tree crown segmentation algorithm were 56,0.5,and 0.8,respectively.The producer’s accuracy(PA),user’s accuracy(UA),and F1 score were 0.722,0.605,and 0.658,respectively.There were no significant classification errors in the final classification results,and the low accuracy was attributed to the low number of objects count caused by incorrect segmentation.The multi-scale segmentation and object-oriented classification method could accurately identify trees discolored by PWD with a straightforward and rapid processing.This study provides a technical method for monitoring the occurrence of PWD and identifying the discolored trees of disease using UAV-based high-resolution images.

文摘Near-Earth objects are important not only in studying the early formation of the Solar System,but also because they pose a serious hazard to humanity when they make close approaches to the Earth.Study of their physical properties can provide useful information on their origin,evolution,and hazard to human beings.However,it remains challenging to investigate small,newly discovered,near-Earth objects because of our limited observational window.This investigation seeks to determine the visible colors of near-Earth asteroids(NEAs),perform an initial taxonomic classification based on visible colors and analyze possible correlations between the distribution of taxonomic classification and asteroid size or orbital parameters.Observations were performed in the broadband BVRI Johnson−Cousins photometric system,applied to images from the Yaoan High Precision Telescope and the 1.88 m telescope at the Kottamia Astronomical Observatory.We present new photometric observations of 84 near-Earth asteroids,and classify 80 of them taxonomically,based on their photometric colors.We find that nearly half(46.3%)of the objects in our sample can be classified as S-complex,26.3%as C-complex,6%as D-complex,and 15.0%as X-complex;the remaining belong to the A-or V-types.Additionally,we identify three P-type NEAs in our sample,according to the Tholen scheme.The fractional abundances of the C/X-complex members with absolute magnitude H≥17.0 were more than twice as large as those with H<17.0.However,the fractions of C-and S-complex members with diameters≤1 km and>1 km are nearly equal,while X-complex members tend to have sub-kilometer diameters.In our sample,the C/D-complex objects are predominant among those with a Jovian Tisserand parameter of T_(J)<3.1.These bodies could have a cometary origin.C-and S-complex members account for a considerable proportion of the asteroids that are potentially hazardous.

文摘Graph Neural Networks(GNNs)have proven highly effective for graph classification across diverse fields such as social networks,bioinformatics,and finance,due to their capability to learn complex graph structures.However,despite their success,GNNs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can significantly degrade their classification accuracy.Existing adversarial attack strategies primarily rely on label information to guide the attacks,which limits their applicability in scenarios where such information is scarce or unavailable.This paper introduces an innovative unsupervised attack method for graph classification,which operates without relying on label information,thereby enhancing its applicability in a broad range of scenarios.Specifically,our method first leverages a graph contrastive learning loss to learn high-quality graph embeddings by comparing different stochastic augmented views of the graphs.To effectively perturb the graphs,we then introduce an implicit estimator that measures the impact of various modifications on graph structures.The proposed strategy identifies and flips edges with the top-K highest scores,determined by the estimator,to maximize the degradation of the model’s performance.In addition,to defend against such attack,we propose a lightweight regularization-based defense mechanism that is specifically tailored to mitigate the structural perturbations introduced by our attack strategy.It enhances model robustness by enforcing embedding consistency and edge-level smoothness during training.We conduct experiments on six public TU graph classification datasets:NCI1,NCI109,Mutagenicity,ENZYMES,COLLAB,and DBLP_v1,to evaluate the effectiveness of our attack and defense strategies.Under an attack budget of 3,the maximum reduction in model accuracy reaches 6.67%on the Graph Convolutional Network(GCN)and 11.67%on the Graph Attention Network(GAT)across different datasets,indicating that our unsupervised method induces degradation comparable to state-of-the-art supervised attacks.Meanwhile,our defense achieves the highest accuracy recovery of 3.89%(GCN)and 5.00%(GAT),demonstrating improved robustness against structural perturbations.

文摘Skin diseases affect millions worldwide.Early detection is key to preventing disfigurement,lifelong disability,or death.Dermoscopic images acquired in primary-care settings show high intra-class visual similarity and severe class imbalance,and occasional imaging artifacts can create ambiguity for state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks(CNNs).We frame skin lesion recognition as graph-based reasoning and,to ensure fair evaluation and avoid data leakage,adopt a strict lesion-level partitioning strategy.Each image is first over-segmented using SLIC(Simple Linear Iterative Clustering)to produce perceptually homogeneous superpixels.These superpixels form the nodes of a region-adjacency graph whose edges encode spatial continuity.Node attributes are 1280-dimensional embeddings extracted with a lightweight yet expressive EfficientNet-B0 backbone,providing strong representational power at modest computational cost.The resulting graphs are processed by a five-layer Graph Attention Network(GAT)that learns to weight inter-node relationships dynamically and aggregates multi-hop context before classifying lesions into seven classes with a log-softmax output.Extensive experiments on the DermaMNIST benchmark show the proposed pipeline achieves 88.35%accuracy and 98.04%AUC,outperforming contemporary CNNs,AutoML approaches,and alternative graph neural networks.An ablation study indicates EfficientNet-B0 produces superior node descriptors compared with ResNet-18 and DenseNet,and that roughly five GAT layers strike a good balance between being too shallow and over-deep while avoiding oversmoothing.The method requires no data augmentation or external metadata,making it a drop-in upgrade for clinical computer-aided diagnosis systems.
文摘This systematic review aims to comprehensively examine and compare deep learning methods for brain tumor segmentation and classification using MRI and other imaging modalities,focusing on recent trends from 2022 to 2025.The primary objective is to evaluate methodological advancements,model performance,dataset usage,and existing challenges in developing clinically robust AI systems.We included peer-reviewed journal articles and highimpact conference papers published between 2022 and 2025,written in English,that proposed or evaluated deep learning methods for brain tumor segmentation and/or classification.Excluded were non-open-access publications,books,and non-English articles.A structured search was conducted across Scopus,Google Scholar,Wiley,and Taylor&Francis,with the last search performed in August 2025.Risk of bias was not formally quantified but considered during full-text screening based on dataset diversity,validation methods,and availability of performance metrics.We used narrative synthesis and tabular benchmarking to compare performance metrics(e.g.,accuracy,Dice score)across model types(CNN,Transformer,Hybrid),imaging modalities,and datasets.A total of 49 studies were included(43 journal articles and 6 conference papers).These studies spanned over 9 public datasets(e.g.,BraTS,Figshare,REMBRANDT,MOLAB)and utilized a range of imaging modalities,predominantly MRI.Hybrid models,especially ResViT and UNetFormer,consistently achieved high performance,with classification accuracy exceeding 98%and segmentation Dice scores above 0.90 across multiple studies.Transformers and hybrid architectures showed increasing adoption post2023.Many studies lacked external validation and were evaluated only on a few benchmark datasets,raising concerns about generalizability and dataset bias.Few studies addressed clinical interpretability or uncertainty quantification.Despite promising results,particularly for hybrid deep learning models,widespread clinical adoption remains limited due to lack of validation,interpretability concerns,and real-world deployment barriers.
文摘Honeycombing Lung(HCL)is a chronic lung condition marked by advanced fibrosis,resulting in enlarged air spaces with thick fibrotic walls,which are visible on Computed Tomography(CT)scans.Differentiating between normal lung tissue,honeycombing lungs,and Ground Glass Opacity(GGO)in CT images is often challenging for radiologists and may lead to misinterpretations.Although earlier studies have proposed models to detect and classify HCL,many faced limitations such as high computational demands,lower accuracy,and difficulty distinguishing between HCL and GGO.CT images are highly effective for lung classification due to their high resolution,3D visualization,and sensitivity to tissue density variations.This study introduces Honeycombing Lungs Network(HCL Net),a novel classification algorithm inspired by ResNet50V2 and enhanced to overcome the shortcomings of previous approaches.HCL Net incorporates additional residual blocks,refined preprocessing techniques,and selective parameter tuning to improve classification performance.The dataset,sourced from the University Malaya Medical Centre(UMMC)and verified by expert radiologists,consists of CT images of normal,honeycombing,and GGO lungs.Experimental evaluations across five assessments demonstrated that HCL Net achieved an outstanding classification accuracy of approximately 99.97%.It also recorded strong performance in other metrics,achieving 93%precision,100%sensitivity,89%specificity,and an AUC-ROC score of 97%.Comparative analysis with baseline feature engineering methods confirmed the superior efficacy of HCL Net.The model significantly reduces misclassification,particularly between honeycombing and GGO lungs,enhancing diagnostic precision and reliability in lung image analysis.

文摘Sudden wildfires cause significant global ecological damage.While satellite imagery has advanced early fire detection and mitigation,image-based systems face limitations including high false alarm rates,visual obstructions,and substantial computational demands,especially in complex forest terrains.To address these challenges,this study proposes a novel forest fire detection model utilizing audio classification and machine learning.We developed an audio-based pipeline using real-world environmental sound recordings.Sounds were converted into Mel-spectrograms and classified via a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN),enabling the capture of distinctive fire acoustic signatures(e.g.,crackling,roaring)that are minimally impacted by visual or weather conditions.Internet of Things(IoT)sound sensors were crucial for generating complex environmental parameters to optimize feature extraction.The CNN model achieved high performance in stratified 5-fold cross-validation(92.4%±1.6 accuracy,91.2%±1.8 F1-score)and on test data(94.93%accuracy,93.04%F1-score),with 98.44%precision and 88.32%recall,demonstrating reliability across environmental conditions.These results indicate that the audio-based approach not only improves detection reliability but also markedly reduces computational overhead compared to traditional image-based methods.The findings suggest that acoustic sensing integrated with machine learning offers a powerful,low-cost,and efficient solution for real-time forest fire monitoring in complex,dynamic environments.

文摘Alzheimer’s Disease(AD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly affects cognitive function,making early and accurate diagnosis essential.Traditional Deep Learning(DL)-based approaches often struggle with low-contrast MRI images,class imbalance,and suboptimal feature extraction.This paper develops a Hybrid DL system that unites MobileNetV2 with adaptive classification methods to boost Alzheimer’s diagnosis by processing MRI scans.Image enhancement is done using Contrast-Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE)and Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks(ESRGAN).A classification robustness enhancement system integrates class weighting techniques and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient(MCC)-based evaluation method into the design.The trained and validated model gives a 98.88%accuracy rate and 0.9614 MCC score.We also performed a 10-fold cross-validation experiment with an average accuracy of 96.52%(±1.51),a loss of 0.1671,and an MCC score of 0.9429 across folds.The proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art models with a 98%weighted F1-score while decreasing misdiagnosis results for every AD stage.The model demonstrates apparent separation abilities between AD progression stages according to the results of the confusion matrix analysis.These results validate the effectiveness of hybrid DL models with adaptive preprocessing for early and reliable Alzheimer’s diagnosis,contributing to improved computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems in clinical practice.

文摘With the wide use of high-resolution remotely sensed imagery, the object-oriented remotely sensed informa- tion classification pattern has been intensively studied. Starting with the definition of object-oriented remotely sensed information classification pattern and a literature review of related research progress, this paper sums up 4 developing phases of object-oriented classification pattern during the past 20 years. Then, we discuss the three aspects of method- ology in detail, namely remotely sensed imagery segmentation, feature analysis and feature selection, and classification rule generation, through comparing them with remotely sensed information classification method based on per-pixel.

文摘As one of the main geographical elements in urban areas,buildings are closely related to the development of the city.Therefore,how to quickly and accurately extract building information from remote sensing images is of great significance for urban map updating,urban planning and construction,etc.Extracting building information around power facilities,especially obtaining this information from high-resolution images,has become one of the current hot topics in remote sensing technology research.This study made full use of the characteristics of GF-2 satellite remote sensing images,adopted an object-oriented classification method,combined with multi-scale segmentation technology and CART classification algorithm,and successfully extracted the buildings in the study area.The research results showed that the overall classification accuracy reached 89.5%and the Kappa coefficient was 0.86.Using the object-oriented CART classification algorithm for building extraction could be closer to actual ground objects and had higher accuracy.The extraction of buildings in the city contributed to urban development planning and provided decision support for management.
文摘This paper investigates the contribution of multi-temporal enhanced vegetation index(EVI)data to the improvement of object-based classification accuracy using multi-spectral moderate resolution imaging spectral-radiometer(MODIS)imagery.In object-oriented classification,similar pixels are firstly grouped together and then classified;the produced result does not suffer the speckled appearance and closer to human vision.EVI data are from the MODIS sensor aboard Terra spacecraft.69 EVI data(scenes)were collected during the period of three years(20012003)in a mountainous vegetated area.These data sets were used to study the phenology of the land cover types.Different land cover types show distinct fluctuations over time in EVI values and this information might be used to improve object-oriented land cover classification.Two experiments were carried out:one was only with single date MODIS multispectral data,and the other one including also the 69 EVI images.Eight classes were distinguished:temperate forest,tropical dry forest,grassland,irrigated agriculture,rain-fed agriculture,orchards,lava flows and human settlement.The two classifications were evaluated with independent verification data,and the results showed that with multitemporal EVI data,the classification accuracy was improved 5.2%.Evaluated by McNemar’s test,this improved was significant,with significance level p=0.01.
文摘Urban tree species provide various essential ecosystem services in cities,such as regulating urban temperatures,reducing noise,capturing carbon,and mitigating the urban heat island effect.The quality of these services is influenced by species diversity,tree health,and the distribution and the composition of trees.Traditionally,data on urban trees has been collected through field surveys and manual interpretation of remote sensing images.In this study,we evaluated the effectiveness of multispectral airborne laser scanning(ALS)data in classifying 24 common urban roadside tree species in Espoo,Finland.Tree crown structure information,intensity features,and spectral data were used for classification.Eight different machine learning algorithms were tested,with the extra trees(ET)algorithm performing the best,achieving an overall accuracy of 71.7%using multispectral LiDAR data.This result highlights that integrating structural and spectral information within a single framework can improve the classification accuracy.Future research will focus on identifying the most important features for species classification and developing algorithms with greater efficiency and accuracy.
文摘Purpose:Interdisciplinary research has become a critical approach to addressing complex societal,economic,technological,and environmental challenges,driving innovation and integrating scientific knowledge.While interdisciplinarity indicators are widely used to evaluate research performance,the impact of classification granularity on these assessments remains underexplored.Design/methodology/approach:This study investigates how different levels of classification granularity-macro,meso,and micro-affect the evaluation of interdisciplinarity in research institutes.Using a dataset of 262 institutes from four major German non-university organizations(FHG,HGF,MPG,WGL)from 2018 to 2022,we examine inconsistencies in interdisciplinarity across levels,analyze ranking changes,and explore the influence of institutional fields and research focus(applied vs.basic).Findings:Our findings reveal significant inconsistencies in interdisciplinarity across classification levels,with rankings varying substantially.Notably,the Fraunhofer Society(FHG),which performs well at the macro level,experiences significant ranking declines at meso and micro levels.Normalizing interdisciplinarity by research field confirmed that these declines persist.The research focus of institutes,whether applied,basic,or mixed,does not significantly explain the observed ranking dynamics.Research limitations:This study has only considered the publication-based dimension of institutional interdisciplinarity and has not explored other aspects.Practical implications:The findings provide insights for policymakers,research managers,and scholars to better interpret interdisciplinarity metrics and support interdisciplinary research effectively.Originality/value:This study underscores the critical role of classification granularity in interdisciplinarity assessment and emphasizes the need for standardized approaches to ensure robust and fair evaluations.

文摘Preservation of the crops depends on early and accurate detection of pests on crops as they cause several diseases decreasing crop production and quality. Several deep-learning techniques have been applied to overcome the issue of pest detection on crops. We have developed the YOLOCSP-PEST model for Pest localization and classification. With the Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNET) backbone, the proposed model is a modified version of You Only Look Once Version 7 (YOLOv7) that is intended primarily for pest localization and classification. Our proposed model gives exceptionally good results under conditions that are very challenging for any other comparable models especially conditions where we have issues with the luminance and the orientation of the images. It helps farmers working out on their crops in distant areas to determine any infestation quickly and accurately on their crops which helps in the quality and quantity of the production yield. The model has been trained and tested on 2 datasets namely the IP102 data set and a local crop data set on both of which it has shown exceptional results. It gave us a mean average precision (mAP) of 88.40% along with a precision of 85.55% and a recall of 84.25% on the IP102 dataset meanwhile giving a mAP of 97.18% on the local data set along with a recall of 94.88% and a precision of 97.50%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed model is very effective in detecting real-life scenarios and can help in the production of crops improving the yield quality and quantity at the same time.

文摘The cleanliness of seed cotton plays a critical role in the pre-treatment of cotton textiles,and the removal of impurity during the harvesting process directly determines the quality and market value of cotton textiles.By fusing band combination optimization with deep learning,this study aims to achieve more efficient and accurate detection of film impurities in seed cotton on the production line.By applying hyperspectral imaging and a one-dimensional deep learning algorithm,we detect and classify impurities in seed cotton after harvest.The main categories detected include pure cotton,conveyor belt,film covering seed cotton,and film adhered to the conveyor belt.The proposed method achieves an impurity detection rate of 99.698%.To further ensure the feasibility and practical application potential of this strategy,we compare our results against existing mainstream methods.In addition,the model shows excellent recognition performance on pseudo-color images of real samples.With a processing time of 11.764μs per pixel from experimental data,it shows a much improved speed requirement while maintaining the accuracy of real production lines.This strategy provides an accurate and efficient method for removing impurities during cotton processing.

文摘Myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI),which uses single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT),is a well-known estimating tool for medical diagnosis,employing the classification of images to show situations in coronary artery disease(CAD).The automatic classification of SPECT images for different techniques has achieved near-optimal accuracy when using convolutional neural networks(CNNs).This paper uses a SPECT classification framework with three steps:1)Image denoising,2)Attenuation correction,and 3)Image classification.Image denoising is done by a U-Net architecture that ensures effective image denoising.Attenuation correction is implemented by a convolution neural network model that can remove the attenuation that affects the feature extraction process of classification.Finally,a novel multi-scale diluted convolution(MSDC)network is proposed.It merges the features extracted in different scales and makes the model learn the features more efficiently.Three scales of filters with size 3×3 are used to extract features.All three steps are compared with state-of-the-art methods.The proposed denoising architecture ensures a high-quality image with the highest peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)value of 39.7.The proposed classification method is compared with the five different CNN models,and the proposed method ensures better classification with an accuracy of 96%,precision of 87%,sensitivity of 87%,specificity of 89%,and F1-score of 87%.To demonstrate the importance of preprocessing,the classification model was analyzed without denoising and attenuation correction.
文摘Diagnosing cardiac diseases relies heavily on electrocardiogram(ECG)analysis,but detecting myocardial infarction-related arrhythmias remains challenging due to irregular heartbeats and signal variations.Despite advancements in machine learning,achieving both high accuracy and low computational cost for arrhythmia classification remains a critical issue.Computer-aided diagnosis systems can play a key role in early detection,reducing mortality rates associated with cardiac disorders.This study proposes a fully automated approach for ECG arrhythmia classification using deep learning and machine learning techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy while minimizing processing time.The methodology consists of three stages:1)preprocessing,where ECG signals undergo noise reduction and feature extraction;2)feature Identification,where deep convolutional neural network(CNN)blocks,combined with data augmentation and transfer learning,extract key parameters;3)classification,where a hybrid CNN-SVM model is employed for arrhythmia recognition.CNN-extracted features were fed into a binary support vector machine(SVM)classifier,and model performance was assessed using five-fold cross-validation.Experimental findings demonstrated that the CNN2 model achieved 85.52%accuracy,while the hybrid CNN2-SVM approach significantly improved accuracy to 97.33%,outperforming conventional methods.This model enhances classification efficiency while reducing computational complexity.The proposed approach bridges the gap between accuracy and processing speed in ECG arrhythmia classification,offering a promising solution for real-time clinical applications.Its superior performance compared to nonlinear classifiers highlights its potential for improving automated cardiac diagnosis.
