But the preprocessing meth- ods reported in the literatures were not the same. In order to screen the best pre- processing method, this paper took three typical treatments to explore the effect of different preprocessing methods on soil microbial community functional diversity. The results showed that, method B＇s overall trend of AWCD values was better than A and C＇s. Method B＇s microbial utilization of six carbon sources was higher, and the result was relatively stable. The Simpson index, Shannon richness index and Car- bon source utilization richness index of the two treatments were B〉C〉A, while the Mclntosh index and Shannon evenness were not very stable, but the difference of variance analysis was not significant, and the method B was always with a smallest variance. Method B＇s principal component analysis was better than A and C＇s. In a word, the method using 250 r/min shaking for 30 minutes and cultivating at 28 ℃ was the best one, because it was simple, convenient, and with good repeatability.展开更多

文摘An improved version of the sparse A^(*)algorithm is proposed to address the common issue of excessive expansion of nodes and failure to consider current ship status and parameters in traditional path planning algorithms.This algorithm considers factors such as initial position and orientation of the ship,safety range,and ship draft to determine the optimal obstacle-avoiding route from the current to the destination point for ship planning.A coordinate transformation algorithm is also applied to convert commonly used latitude and longitude coordinates of ship travel paths to easily utilized and analyzed Cartesian coordinates.The algorithm incorporates a hierarchical chart processing algorithm to handle multilayered chart data.Furthermore,the algorithm considers the impact of ship length on grid size and density when implementing chart gridification,adjusting the grid size and density accordingly based on ship length.Simulation results show that compared to traditional path planning algorithms,the sparse A^(*)algorithm reduces the average number of path points by 25%,decreases the average maximum storage node number by 17%,and raises the average path turning angle by approximately 10°,effectively improving the safety of ship planning paths.

文摘Zn vapour is easily generated on the surface by fusion welding galvanized steel sheet,resulting in the formation of defects.Rapidly developing computer vision sensing technology collects weld images in the welding process,then obtains laser fringe information through digital image processing,identifies welding defects,and finally realizes online control of weld defects.The performance of a convolutional neural network is related to its structure and the quality of the input image.The acquired original images are labeled with LabelMe,and repeated attempts are made to determine the appropriate filtering and edge detection image preprocessing methods.Two-stage convolutional neural networks with different structures are built on the Tensorflow deep learning framework,different thresholds of intersection over union are set,and deep learning methods are used to evaluate the collected original images and the preprocessed images separately.Compared with the test results,the comprehensive performance of the improved feature pyramid networks algorithm based on the basic network VGG16 is lower than that of the basic network Resnet101.Edge detection of the image will significantly improve the accuracy of the model.Adding blur will reduce the accuracy of the model slightly;however,the overall performance of the improved algorithm is still relatively good,which proves the stability of the algorithm.The self-developed software inspection system can be used for image preprocessing and defect recognition,which can be used to record the number and location of typical defects in continuous welds.
文摘Marine environments present significant challenges for image processing due to factors such as low light intensity,suspended particles,and varying degrees of water turbidity.These conditions severely degrade the clarity and quality of captured marine images,making accurate image recognition difficult.The problem is further compounded by the limited availability of high-quality,labeled training samples,which restricts the effectiveness of conventional recognition algorithms.Existing techniques in both academic and industrial settings—such as Principal Component Analysis(PCA),Neural Networks,and Wavelet Transforms—typically involve converting color images to grayscale prior to feature extraction.While this simplifies processing,it also results in the loss of essential color information,which is often critical for distinguishing features in marine imagery.To address these issues,this paper proposes a novel approach that preserves and utilizes the full color information of marine images during processing and recognition.The method combines color image representation with Hu's invariant moments to extract stable and rotation-invariant features.These features are then input into a Back Propagation Neural Network(BPNN),which is trained to recognize and classify various marine targets.The integration of color-based feature extraction with BPNN significantly improves recognition performance,particularly under complex environmental conditions.Experimental results show that the proposed system achieves a recognition accuracy exceeding 98%,demonstrating its effectiveness and potential for practical applications in marine exploration,environmental monitoring,and underwater robotics.

文摘The big data generated by tunnel boring machines(TBMs)are widely used to reveal complex rock-machine interactions by machine learning(ML)algorithms.Data preprocessing plays a crucial role in improving ML accuracy.For this,a TBM big data preprocessing method in ML was proposed in the present study.It emphasized the accurate division of TBM tunneling cycle and the optimization method of feature extraction.Based on the data collected from a TBM water conveyance tunnel in China,its effectiveness was demonstrated by application in predicting TBM performance.Firstly,the Score-Kneedle(S-K)method was proposed to divide a TBM tunneling cycle into five phases.Conducted on 500 TBM tunneling cycles,the S-K method accurately divided all five phases in 458 cycles(accuracy of 91.6%),which is superior to the conventional duration division method(accuracy of 74.2%).Additionally,the S-K method accurately divided the stable phase in 493 cycles(accuracy of 98.6%),which is superior to two state-of-the-art division methods,namely the histogram discriminant method(accuracy of 94.6%)and the cumulative sum change point detection method(accuracy of 92.8%).Secondly,features were extracted from the divided phases.Specifically,TBM tunneling resistances were extracted from the free rotating phase and free advancing phase.The resistances were subtracted from the total forces to represent the true rock-fragmentation forces.The secant slope and the mean value were extracted as features of the increasing phase and stable phase,respectively.Finally,an ML model integrating a deep neural network and genetic algorithm(GA-DNN)was established to learn the preprocessed data.The GA-DNN used 6 secant slope features extracted from the increasing phase to predict the mean field penetration index(FPI)and torque penetration index(TPI)in the stable phase,guiding TBM drivers to make better decisions in advance.The results indicate that the proposed TBM big data preprocessing method can improve prediction accuracy significantly(improving R2s of TPI and FPI on the test dataset from 0.7716 to 0.9178 and from 0.7479 to 0.8842,respectively).
文摘Intrusion detection(ID)is a cyber security practice that encompasses the process of monitoring network activities to identify unauthorized or malicious actions.This includes problems like the difficulties of existing intrusion detection models to identify emerging attacks,generating many false alarms,and their inability and difficulty to adapt themselves with time when it comes to threats,hence to overcome all those existing challenges in this research develop a Prairie Araneida optimization based fused Convolutional Neural Network model(PAO-CNN)for intrusion detection.The fused CNN(Convolutional Neural Netowrk)is a remarkable development since it combines statistical features that are extracted from the processed data and provide enhanced capabilities for the model to capture complicated patterns existing in intrusion datasets.The adoption of a fused architecture represents an integrated way towards intrusion detection where the model can significantly interpret various features to achieve higher accuracy.On top of this,the Prairie Araneida stage which is based on coyote behavior and social spider colonies respectively plays a role in enabling to handling of intricate optimization landscapes.The dual contribution of a fused CNN and novel optimization strategies strengthens the research’s goal to design an effective intrusion detection system that can evolve with new cyber threats.When the Training percentage(TP)is set to 90,the model’s performance can be assessed using metrics like Accuracy,Sensitivity,and Specificity.In this particular dataset,these metrics reach approximately 97.78%,96.25%,and 96.15%,respectively,which are crucial values.Additionally,when using a k-fold value of 6,the model achieves metrics of 97.04%Accuracy,97.37%Sensitivity,and 96.48%Specificity.

文摘Enhancing the accuracy of real-time ship roll prediction is crucial for maritime safety and operational efficiency.To address the challenge of accurately predicting the ship roll status with nonlinear time-varying dynamic characteristics,a real-time ship roll prediction scheme is proposed on the basis of a data preprocessing strategy and a novel stochastic trainer-based feedforward neural network.The sliding data window serves as a ship time-varying dynamic observer to enhance model prediction stability.The variational mode decomposition method extracts effective information on ship roll motion and reduces the non-stationary characteristics of the series.The energy entropy method reconstructs the mode components into high-frequency,medium-frequency,and low-frequency series to reduce model complexity.An improved black widow optimization algorithm trainer-based feedforward neural network with enhanced local optimal avoidance predicts the high-frequency component,enabling accurate tracking of abrupt signals.Additionally,the deterministic algorithm trainer-based neural network,characterized by rapid processing speed,predicts the remaining two mode components.Thus,real-time ship roll forecasting can be achieved through the reconstruction of mode component prediction results.The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed hybrid prediction scheme for ship roll motion are demonstrated through the measured data of a full-scale ship trial.The proposed prediction scheme achieves real-time ship roll prediction with superior prediction accuracy.

文摘Convolutional neural networks(CNNs)exhibit superior performance in image feature extraction,making them extensively used in the area of traffic sign recognition.However,the design of existing traffic sign recognition algorithms often relies on expert knowledge to enhance the image feature extraction networks,necessitating image preprocessing and model parameter tuning.This increases the complexity of the model design process.This study introduces an evolutionary neural architecture search(ENAS)algorithm for the automatic design of neural network models tailored for traffic sign recognition.By integrating the construction parameters of residual network(ResNet)into evolutionary algorithms(EAs),we automatically generate lightweight networks for traffic sign recognition,utilizing blocks as the fundamental building units.Experimental evaluations on the German traffic sign recognition benchmark(GTSRB)dataset reveal that the algorithm attains a recognition accuracy of 99.32%,with a mere 2.8×10^(6)parameters.Experimental results comparing the proposed method with other traffic sign recognition algorithms demonstrate that the method can more efficiently discover neural network architectures,significantly reducing the number of network parameters while maintaining recognition accuracy.

文摘As one of the main methods of microbial community functional diversity measurement, biolog method was favored by many researchers for its simple oper- ation, high sensitivity, strong resolution and rich data. But the preprocessing meth- ods reported in the literatures were not the same. In order to screen the best pre- processing method, this paper took three typical treatments to explore the effect of different preprocessing methods on soil microbial community functional diversity. The results showed that, method B＇s overall trend of AWCD values was better than A and C＇s. Method B＇s microbial utilization of six carbon sources was higher, and the result was relatively stable. The Simpson index, Shannon richness index and Car- bon source utilization richness index of the two treatments were B〉C〉A, while the Mclntosh index and Shannon evenness were not very stable, but the difference of variance analysis was not significant, and the method B was always with a smallest variance. Method B＇s principal component analysis was better than A and C＇s. In a word, the method using 250 r/min shaking for 30 minutes and cultivating at 28 ℃ was the best one, because it was simple, convenient, and with good repeatability.
