How to accurately and effectively detect DDoS attacks has always been a difficult point and focus of SDN security research. Based on the characteristics of SDN, a DDoS attack detection method combining generalized entropy and PSOBP neural network is proposed. The traffic is pre-detected by the generalized entropy method deployed on the switch, and the detection result is divided into normal and abnormal. Locate the switch that issued the abnormal alarm. The controller uses the PSO-BP neural network to detect whether a DDoS attack occurs by further extracting the flow features of the abnormal switch. Experiments show that compared with other methods, the detection accurate rate is guaranteed while the CPU load of the controller is reduced, and the detection capability is better.展开更多

In this paper, one practical solution to the problem for condition assessment of short and medium span bridges was discussed. A vehicle-based measurement with a public bus as part of a public transit system (called “Bus monitoring system”) has been developed to be capable of detecting damage that may affect the structural safety of a bridge from long term vibration measurement data collected while the vehicle (bus) crossed the target bridges. This paper systematically describes how the system has been developed. The bus monitoring system aims to detect the transition from the damage acceleration period, in which the structural safety of an aged bridge declines sharply, to the deterioration period by continually monitoring the bridge of interest. To evaluate the practicality of the newly developed bus monitoring system, it has been field-tested over a period of about four years by using an in-service fixed-route bus operating on a bus route in the city of Ube, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. The verification results thus obtained are also described in this paper. This study also evaluates the sensitivity of “characteristic deflection”, which is a bridge (health) condition indicator used by the bus monitoring system, in damage detection. Sensitivity of “characteristic deflection” is verified by introducing artificial damage into a bridge that has ended its service life and is awaiting removal. As the results, it will be able to make a rational long-term health monitoring system for existing short and mediumspan bridges, and then the system helps bridge administrators to establish the rational maintenance strategies.展开更多

In order to perform automatic fall detection, we used Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BP-ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on the 6 features extracted from the raw data. The WGAS, which includes a tri-axial accelerometer, 2 gyroscopes, and a MSP430 microcontroller, is worn by the subjects at either T4 (at back) or as a belt-clip in front of the waist during the various tests. The raw data is wirelessly transmitted from the WGAS to a near-by PC for real-time fall classification. The BP ANN is optimized by varying the training, testing and validation data sets and training the network with different learning schemes. SVM is optimized by using three different kernels and selecting the kernel for best classification rate. The overall accuracy of BP ANN is obtained as 98.20% with LM and RPROP training from the T4 data, while from the data taken at the belt, we achieved 98.70% with LM and SCG learning. The overall accuracy using SVM was 98.80% and 98.71% with RBF kernel from the T4 and belt position data, respectively.展开更多

This problem on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), in attention to their special properties, has more importance. Now, there are some of proposed solutions to protect Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) against different types of intrusions;but no one of them has a comprehensive view to this problem and they are usually designed in single-purpose;but, the proposed design in this paper has been a comprehensive view to this issue by presenting a complete Intrusion Detection Architecture (IDA). The main contribution of this architecture is its hierarchical structure;i.e. it is designed and applicable, in one, two or three levels, consistent to the application domain and its required security level. Focus of this paper is on the clustering WSNs, designing and deploying Sensor-based Intrusion Detection System (SIDS) on sensor nodes, Cluster-based Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) on cluster-heads and Wireless Sensor Network wide level Intrusion Detection System (WSNIDS) on the central server. Suppositions of the WSN and Intrusion Detection Architecture (IDA) are: static and heterogeneous network, hierarchical, distributed and clustering structure along with clusters' overlapping. Finally, this paper has been designed a questionnaire to verify the proposed idea;then it analyzed and evaluated the acquired results from the questionnaires.展开更多

Although the KDD Cup’99 Dataset has class imbalance over different intrusion classes, still it plays a significant role to evaluate machine learning algorithms. In this work, we utilize the singular valued decomposition technique for feature dimension reduction. We further reconstruct the features form reduced features and the selected eigenvectors. The reconstruction loss is used to decide the intrusion class for a given network feature. The intrusion class having the smallest reconstruction loss is accepted as the intrusion class in the network for that sample. The proposed system yield 97.90% accuracy on KDD Cup’99 dataset for the stated task. We have also analyzed the system with individual intrusion categories separately. This analysis suggests having a system with the ensemble of multiple classifiers;therefore we also created a random forest classifier. The random forest classifier performs significantly better than the SVD based system. The random forest classifier achieves 99.99% accuracy for intrusion detection on the same training and testing data set.展开更多

Substantial data is generated by the EEG recordings of ambulatory recording systems, and detection of epileptic activity requires a time-consuming analysis of the complete length of the EEG time series data by a neurology expert. A variety of automatic epilepsy detection systems have been developed during the last ten years. In this paper, we investigate the potential of a recently-proposed statistical measure parameter regarded as Sample Entropy (SampEn), as a method of feature extraction to the task of classifying three different kinds of EEG signals (normal, interictal and ictal) and detecting epileptic seizures. It is known that the value of the SampEn falls suddenly during an epileptic seizure and this fact is utilized in the proposed diagnosis system. Two different kinds of classification models, back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and the recently-developed extreme learning machine (ELM) are tested in this study. Results show that the proposed automatic epilepsy detection system which uses sample entropy (SampEn) as the only input feature, together with extreme learning machine (ELM) classification model, not only achieves high classification accuracy (95.67%) but also very fast speed.展开更多

The algorithms are implemented using a series of signal processing methods including Ada Boost, cascade classifier, Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Haar-like feature, facial image pre-processing and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The Ada Boost algorithm is implemented in a cascade classifier to train the face and eye detectors with robust detection accuracy. The LBP descriptor is utilized to extract facial features for fast face detection. The eye detection algorithm reduces the false face detection rate. The detected facial image is then processed to correct the orientation and increase the contrast, therefore, maintains high facial recognition accuracy. Finally, the PCA algorithm is used to recognize faces efficiently. Large databases with faces and non-faces images are used to train and validate face detection and facial recognition algorithms. The algorithms achieve an overall true-positive rate of 98.8% for face detection and 99.2% for correct facial recognition.展开更多

How to accurately and effectively detect DDoS attacks has always been a difficult point and focus of SDN security research. Based on the characteristics of SDN, a DDoS attack detection method combining generalized entropy and PSOBP neural network is proposed. The traffic is pre-detected by the generalized entropy method deployed on the switch, and the detection result is divided into normal and abnormal. Locate the switch that issued the abnormal alarm. The controller uses the PSO-BP neural network to detect whether a DDoS attack occurs by further extracting the flow features of the abnormal switch. Experiments show that compared with other methods, the detection accurate rate is guaranteed while the CPU load of the controller is reduced, and the detection capability is better.
文摘Community detection is one of the most fundamental applications in understanding the structure of complicated networks.Furthermore,it is an important approach to identifying closely linked clusters of nodes that may represent underlying patterns and relationships.Networking structures are highly sensitive in social networks,requiring advanced techniques to accurately identify the structure of these communities.Most conventional algorithms for detecting communities perform inadequately with complicated networks.In addition,they miss out on accurately identifying clusters.Since single-objective optimization cannot always generate accurate and comprehensive results,as multi-objective optimization can.Therefore,we utilized two objective functions that enable strong connections between communities and weak connections between them.In this study,we utilized the intra function,which has proven effective in state-of-the-art research studies.We proposed a new inter-function that has demonstrated its effectiveness by making the objective of detecting external connections between communities is to make them more distinct and sparse.Furthermore,we proposed a Multi-Objective community strength enhancement algorithm(MOCSE).The proposed algorithm is based on the framework of the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Decomposition(MOEA/D),integrated with a new heuristic mutation strategy,community strength enhancement(CSE).The results demonstrate that the model is effective in accurately identifying community structures while also being computationally efficient.The performance measures used to evaluate the MOEA/D algorithm in our work are normalized mutual information(NMI)and modularity(Q).It was tested using five state-of-the-art algorithms on social networks,comprising real datasets(Zachary,Dolphin,Football,Krebs,SFI,Jazz,and Netscience),as well as twenty synthetic datasets.These results provide the robustness and practical value of the proposed algorithm in multi-objective community identification.

文摘The rapid digitalization of urban infrastructure has made smart cities increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats.In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity,the efficacy of Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)is increasingly measured by technical performance,operational usability,and adaptability.This study introduces and rigorously evaluates a Human-Computer Interaction(HCI)-Integrated IDS with the utilization of Convolutional Neural Network(CNN),CNN-Long Short Term Memory(LSTM),and Random Forest(RF)against both a Baseline Machine Learning(ML)and a Traditional IDS model,through an extensive experimental framework encompassing many performance metrics,including detection latency,accuracy,alert prioritization,classification errors,system throughput,usability,ROC-AUC,precision-recall,confusion matrix analysis,and statistical accuracy measures.Our findings consistently demonstrate the superiority of the HCI-Integrated approach utilizing three major datasets(CICIDS 2017,KDD Cup 1999,and UNSW-NB15).Experimental results indicate that the HCI-Integrated model outperforms its counterparts,achieving an AUC-ROC of 0.99,a precision of 0.93,and a recall of 0.96,while maintaining the lowest false positive rate(0.03)and the fastest detection time(~1.5 s).These findings validate the efficacy of incorporating HCI to enhance anomaly detection capabilities,improve responsiveness,and reduce alert fatigue in critical smart city applications.It achieves markedly lower detection times,higher accuracy across all threat categories,reduced false positive and false negative rates,and enhanced system throughput under concurrent load conditions.The HCIIntegrated IDS excels in alert contextualization and prioritization,offering more actionable insights while minimizing analyst fatigue.Usability feedback underscores increased analyst confidence and operational clarity,reinforcing the importance of user-centered design.These results collectively position the HCI-Integrated IDS as a highly effective,scalable,and human-aligned solution for modern threat detection environments.
文摘With the rapid expansion of drone applications,accurate detection of objects in aerial imagery has become crucial for intelligent transportation,urban management,and emergency rescue missions.However,existing methods face numerous challenges in practical deployment,including scale variation handling,feature degradation,and complex backgrounds.To address these issues,we propose Edge-enhanced and Detail-Capturing You Only Look Once(EHDC-YOLO),a novel framework for object detection in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)imagery.Based on the You Only Look Once version 11 nano(YOLOv11n)baseline,EHDC-YOLO systematically introduces several architectural enhancements:(1)a Multi-Scale Edge Enhancement(MSEE)module that leverages multi-scale pooling and edge information to enhance boundary feature extraction;(2)an Enhanced Feature Pyramid Network(EFPN)that integrates P2-level features with Cross Stage Partial(CSP)structures and OmniKernel convolutions for better fine-grained representation;and(3)Dynamic Head(DyHead)with multi-dimensional attention mechanisms for enhanced cross-scale modeling and perspective adaptability.Comprehensive experiments on the Vision meets Drones for Detection(VisDrone-DET)2019 dataset demonstrate that EHDC-YOLO achieves significant improvements,increasing mean Average Precision(mAP)@0.5 from 33.2%to 46.1%(an absolute improvement of 12.9 percentage points)and mAP@0.5:0.95 from 19.5%to 28.0%(an absolute improvement of 8.5 percentage points)compared with the YOLOv11n baseline,while maintaining a reasonable parameter count(2.81 M vs the baseline’s 2.58 M).Further ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each proposed component,while visualization results highlight EHDC-YOLO’s superior performance in detecting objects and handling occlusions in complex drone scenarios.
文摘Largest portion of the bridge stock in almost any country and bridge owning organisation consists on ordinary bridges that has short or medium spans and are now deteriorating due to aging, etc. Therefore, it is becoming an important social concern to develop and put to practical use simple and efficient health monitoring systems for existing short and medium span (10 - 30 m) bridges. In this paper, one practical solution to the problem for condition assessment of short and medium span bridges was discussed. A vehicle-based measurement with a public bus as part of a public transit system (called “Bus monitoring system”) has been developed to be capable of detecting damage that may affect the structural safety of a bridge from long term vibration measurement data collected while the vehicle (bus) crossed the target bridges. This paper systematically describes how the system has been developed. The bus monitoring system aims to detect the transition from the damage acceleration period, in which the structural safety of an aged bridge declines sharply, to the deterioration period by continually monitoring the bridge of interest. To evaluate the practicality of the newly developed bus monitoring system, it has been field-tested over a period of about four years by using an in-service fixed-route bus operating on a bus route in the city of Ube, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. The verification results thus obtained are also described in this paper. This study also evaluates the sensitivity of “characteristic deflection”, which is a bridge (health) condition indicator used by the bus monitoring system, in damage detection. Sensitivity of “characteristic deflection” is verified by introducing artificial damage into a bridge that has ended its service life and is awaiting removal. As the results, it will be able to make a rational long-term health monitoring system for existing short and mediumspan bridges, and then the system helps bridge administrators to establish the rational maintenance strategies.

文摘Forests are vital ecosystems that play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth and supporting human well-being.Traditional forest mapping and monitoring methods are often costly and limited in scope,necessitating the adoption of advanced,automated approaches for improved forest conservation and management.This study explores the application of deep learning-based object detection techniques for individual tree detection in RGB satellite imagery.A dataset of 3157 images was collected and divided into training(2528),validation(495),and testing(134)sets.To enhance model robustness and generalization,data augmentation was applied to the training part of the dataset.Various YOLO-based models,including YOLOv8,YOLOv9,YOLOv10,YOLOv11,and YOLOv12,were evaluated using different hyperparameters and optimization techniques,such as stochastic gradient descent(SGD)and auto-optimization.These models were assessed in terms of detection accuracy and the number of detected trees.The highest-performing model,YOLOv12m,achieved a mean average precision(mAP@50)of 0.908,mAP@50:95 of 0.581,recall of 0.851,precision of 0.852,and an F1-score of 0.847.The results demonstrate that YOLO-based object detection offers a highly efficient,scalable,and accurate solution for individual tree detection in satellite imagery,facilitating improved forest inventory,monitoring,and ecosystem management.This study underscores the potential of AI-driven tree detection to enhance environmental sustainability and support data-driven decision-making in forestry.
文摘The increasing global prevalence of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)necessitates a paradigm shift in early detection strategies.Conventional neuropsychological assessment methods,predominantly paper-and-pencil tests such as the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment,exhibit inherent limitations with respect to accessibility,administration burden,and sensitivity to subtle cognitive decline,particularly among diverse populations.This commentary critically examines a recent study that champions a novel approach:The integration of gait and handwriting kinematic parameters analyzed via machine learning for MCI screening.The present study positions itself within the broader landscape of MCI detection,with a view to comparing its advantages against established neuropsychological batteries,advanced neuroimaging(e.g.,positron emission tomography,magnetic resonance imaging),and emerging fluid biomarkers(e.g.,cerebrospinal fluid,blood-based assays).While the study demonstrates promising accuracy(74.44%area under the curve 0.74 with gait and graphic handwriting)and addresses key unmet needs in accessibility and objectivity,we highlight its cross-sectional nature,limited sample diversity,and lack of dual-task assessment as areas for future refinement.This commentary posits that kinematic biomarkers offer a distinctive,scalable,and ecologically valid approach to widespread MCI screening,thereby complementing existing methods by providing real-world functional insights.Future research should prioritize longitudinal validation,expansion to diverse cohorts,integration with multimodal data including dual-tasking,and the development of highly portable,artificial intelligence-driven solutions to achieve the democratization of early MCI detection and enable timely interventions.

文摘The surge in smishing attacks underscores the urgent need for robust,real-time detection systems powered by advanced deep learning models.This paper introduces PhishNet,a novel ensemble learning framework that integrates transformer-based models(RoBERTa)and large language models(LLMs)(GPT-OSS 120B,LLaMA3.370B,and Qwen332B)to enhance smishing detection performance significantly.To mitigate class imbalance,we apply synthetic data augmentation using T5 and leverage various text preprocessing techniques.Our system employs a duallayer voting mechanism:weighted majority voting among LLMs and a final ensemble vote to classify messages as ham,spam,or smishing.Experimental results show an average accuracy improvement from 96%to 98.5%compared to the best standalone transformer,and from 93%to 98.5%when compared to LLMs across datasets.Furthermore,we present a real-time,user-friendly application to operationalize our detection model for practical use.PhishNet demonstrates superior scalability,usability,and detection accuracy,filling critical gaps in current smishing detection methodologies.

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The exponential growth of the Internet of Things(IoT)has introduced significant security challenges,with zero-day attacks emerging as one of the most critical and challenging threats.Traditional Machine Learning(ML)and Deep Learning(DL)techniques have demonstrated promising early detection capabilities.However,their effectiveness is limited when handling the vast volumes of IoT-generated data due to scalability constraints,high computational costs,and the costly time-intensive process of data labeling.To address these challenges,this study proposes a Federated Learning(FL)framework that leverages collaborative and hybrid supervised learning to enhance cyber threat detection in IoT networks.By employing Deep Neural Networks(DNNs)and decentralized model training,the approach reduces computational complexity while improving detection accuracy.The proposed model demonstrates robust performance,achieving accuracies of 94.34%,99.95%,and 87.94%on the publicly available kitsune,Bot-IoT,and UNSW-NB15 datasets,respectively.Furthermore,its ability to detect zero-day attacks is validated through evaluations on two additional benchmark datasets,TON-IoT and IoT-23,using a Deep Federated Learning(DFL)framework,underscoring the generalization and effectiveness of the model in heterogeneous and decentralized IoT environments.Experimental results demonstrate superior performance over existing methods,establishing the proposed framework as an efficient and scalable solution for IoT security.
文摘In this work, a total of 322 tests were taken on young volunteers by performing 10 different falls, 6 different Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and 7 Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) tests using a custom-designed Wireless Gait Analysis Sensor (WGAS). In order to perform automatic fall detection, we used Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BP-ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on the 6 features extracted from the raw data. The WGAS, which includes a tri-axial accelerometer, 2 gyroscopes, and a MSP430 microcontroller, is worn by the subjects at either T4 (at back) or as a belt-clip in front of the waist during the various tests. The raw data is wirelessly transmitted from the WGAS to a near-by PC for real-time fall classification. The BP ANN is optimized by varying the training, testing and validation data sets and training the network with different learning schemes. SVM is optimized by using three different kernels and selecting the kernel for best classification rate. The overall accuracy of BP ANN is obtained as 98.20% with LM and RPROP training from the T4 data, while from the data taken at the belt, we achieved 98.70% with LM and SCG learning. The overall accuracy using SVM was 98.80% and 98.71% with RBF kernel from the T4 and belt position data, respectively.
文摘Networks protection against different types of attacks is one of most important posed issue into the network and information security domains. This problem on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), in attention to their special properties, has more importance. Now, there are some of proposed solutions to protect Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) against different types of intrusions;but no one of them has a comprehensive view to this problem and they are usually designed in single-purpose;but, the proposed design in this paper has been a comprehensive view to this issue by presenting a complete Intrusion Detection Architecture (IDA). The main contribution of this architecture is its hierarchical structure;i.e. it is designed and applicable, in one, two or three levels, consistent to the application domain and its required security level. Focus of this paper is on the clustering WSNs, designing and deploying Sensor-based Intrusion Detection System (SIDS) on sensor nodes, Cluster-based Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) on cluster-heads and Wireless Sensor Network wide level Intrusion Detection System (WSNIDS) on the central server. Suppositions of the WSN and Intrusion Detection Architecture (IDA) are: static and heterogeneous network, hierarchical, distributed and clustering structure along with clusters' overlapping. Finally, this paper has been designed a questionnaire to verify the proposed idea;then it analyzed and evaluated the acquired results from the questionnaires.
文摘The network-based intrusion detection has become common to evaluate machine learning algorithms. Although the KDD Cup’99 Dataset has class imbalance over different intrusion classes, still it plays a significant role to evaluate machine learning algorithms. In this work, we utilize the singular valued decomposition technique for feature dimension reduction. We further reconstruct the features form reduced features and the selected eigenvectors. The reconstruction loss is used to decide the intrusion class for a given network feature. The intrusion class having the smallest reconstruction loss is accepted as the intrusion class in the network for that sample. The proposed system yield 97.90% accuracy on KDD Cup’99 dataset for the stated task. We have also analyzed the system with individual intrusion categories separately. This analysis suggests having a system with the ensemble of multiple classifiers;therefore we also created a random forest classifier. The random forest classifier performs significantly better than the SVD based system. The random forest classifier achieves 99.99% accuracy for intrusion detection on the same training and testing data set.
文摘In the process of bromine production,because of lag adjustment methods,there are problems of adjusting delay,raw material wastage and low growth rate.By considering the nature of bromine production,with the help of fuzzy data processing method,computer detection and display technique,we designed an automatic detection instrument for the ratio of chlorine to bromine in oxidized liquid of bromine production.This instrument can be used to detect the different parameters of raw materials adjustment and control in real time,and afford assurance that raw materials will be adjusted in time.This paper briefly introduces the working mechanism,hardware and software design of the instrument.
文摘The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal plays a key role in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Substantial data is generated by the EEG recordings of ambulatory recording systems, and detection of epileptic activity requires a time-consuming analysis of the complete length of the EEG time series data by a neurology expert. A variety of automatic epilepsy detection systems have been developed during the last ten years. In this paper, we investigate the potential of a recently-proposed statistical measure parameter regarded as Sample Entropy (SampEn), as a method of feature extraction to the task of classifying three different kinds of EEG signals (normal, interictal and ictal) and detecting epileptic seizures. It is known that the value of the SampEn falls suddenly during an epileptic seizure and this fact is utilized in the proposed diagnosis system. Two different kinds of classification models, back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and the recently-developed extreme learning machine (ELM) are tested in this study. Results show that the proposed automatic epilepsy detection system which uses sample entropy (SampEn) as the only input feature, together with extreme learning machine (ELM) classification model, not only achieves high classification accuracy (95.67%) but also very fast speed.
文摘This study proposes a lightweight rice disease detection model optimized for edge computing environments.The goal is to enhance the You Only Look Once(YOLO)v5 architecture to achieve a balance between real-time diagnostic performance and computational efficiency.To this end,a total of 3234 high-resolution images(2400×1080)were collected from three major rice diseases Rice Blast,Bacterial Blight,and Brown Spot—frequently found in actual rice cultivation fields.These images served as the training dataset.The proposed YOLOv5-V2 model removes the Focus layer from the original YOLOv5s and integrates ShuffleNet V2 into the backbone,thereby resulting in both model compression and improved inference speed.Additionally,YOLOv5-P,based on PP-PicoDet,was configured as a comparative model to quantitatively evaluate performance.Experimental results demonstrated that YOLOv5-V2 achieved excellent detection performance,with an mAP 0.5 of 89.6%,mAP 0.5–0.95 of 66.7%,precision of 91.3%,and recall of 85.6%,while maintaining a lightweight model size of 6.45 MB.In contrast,YOLOv5-P exhibited a smaller model size of 4.03 MB,but showed lower performance with an mAP 0.5 of 70.3%,mAP 0.5–0.95 of 35.2%,precision of 62.3%,and recall of 74.1%.This study lays a technical foundation for the implementation of smart agriculture and real-time disease diagnosis systems by proposing a model that satisfies both accuracy and lightweight requirements.

文摘Modern intrusion detection systems(MIDS)face persistent challenges in coping with the rapid evolution of cyber threats,high-volume network traffic,and imbalanced datasets.Traditional models often lack the robustness and explainability required to detect novel and sophisticated attacks effectively.This study introduces an advanced,explainable machine learning framework for multi-class IDS using the KDD99 and IDS datasets,which reflects real-world network behavior through a blend of normal and diverse attack classes.The methodology begins with sophisticated data preprocessing,incorporating both RobustScaler and QuantileTransformer to address outliers and skewed feature distributions,ensuring standardized and model-ready inputs.Critical dimensionality reduction is achieved via the Harris Hawks Optimization(HHO)algorithm—a nature-inspired metaheuristic modeled on hawks’hunting strategies.HHO efficiently identifies the most informative features by optimizing a fitness function based on classification performance.Following feature selection,the SMOTE is applied to the training data to resolve class imbalance by synthetically augmenting underrepresented attack types.The stacked architecture is then employed,combining the strengths of XGBoost,SVM,and RF as base learners.This layered approach improves prediction robustness and generalization by balancing bias and variance across diverse classifiers.The model was evaluated using standard classification metrics:precision,recall,F1-score,and overall accuracy.The best overall performance was recorded with an accuracy of 99.44%for UNSW-NB15,demonstrating the model’s effectiveness.After balancing,the model demonstrated a clear improvement in detecting the attacks.We tested the model on four datasets to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and performed the ablation study to check the effect of each parameter.Also,the proposed model is computationaly efficient.To support transparency and trust in decision-making,explainable AI(XAI)techniques are incorporated that provides both global and local insight into feature contributions,and offers intuitive visualizations for individual predictions.This makes it suitable for practical deployment in cybersecurity environments that demand both precision and accountability.
文摘This paper provides efficient and robust algorithms for real-time face detection and recognition in complex backgrounds. The algorithms are implemented using a series of signal processing methods including Ada Boost, cascade classifier, Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Haar-like feature, facial image pre-processing and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The Ada Boost algorithm is implemented in a cascade classifier to train the face and eye detectors with robust detection accuracy. The LBP descriptor is utilized to extract facial features for fast face detection. The eye detection algorithm reduces the false face detection rate. The detected facial image is then processed to correct the orientation and increase the contrast, therefore, maintains high facial recognition accuracy. Finally, the PCA algorithm is used to recognize faces efficiently. Large databases with faces and non-faces images are used to train and validate face detection and facial recognition algorithms. The algorithms achieve an overall true-positive rate of 98.8% for face detection and 99.2% for correct facial recognition.
