Over time, the performanceof PV modules gradually declines due to internal degradation and external environmental factors.This cumulativedegradation impacts the overall reliability of photovoltaic power generation. This study addresses the complexdegradation process of PV modules by developing a two-stage Wiener process model. This approach accountsfor the distinct phases of degradation resulting from module aging and environmental influences. A powerdegradation model based on the two-stage Wiener process is constructed to describe individual differences inmodule degradation processes. To estimate the model parameters, a combination of the Expectation-Maximization(EM) algorithm and the Bayesian method is employed. Furthermore, the Schwarz Information Criterion (SIC) isutilized to identify critical change points in PV module degradation trajectories. To validate the universality andeffectiveness of the proposed method, a comparative analysis is conducted against other established life predictiontechniques for PV modules.展开更多

文摘Traditional data-driven fault diagnosis methods depend on expert experience to manually extract effective fault features of signals,which has certain limitations.Conversely,deep learning techniques have gained prominence as a central focus of research in the field of fault diagnosis by strong fault feature extraction ability and end-to-end fault diagnosis efficiency.Recently,utilizing the respective advantages of convolution neural network(CNN)and Transformer in local and global feature extraction,research on cooperating the two have demonstrated promise in the field of fault diagnosis.However,the cross-channel convolution mechanism in CNN and the self-attention calculations in Transformer contribute to excessive complexity in the cooperative model.This complexity results in high computational costs and limited industrial applicability.To tackle the above challenges,this paper proposes a lightweight CNN-Transformer named as SEFormer for rotating machinery fault diagnosis.First,a separable multiscale depthwise convolution block is designed to extract and integrate multiscale feature information from different channel dimensions of vibration signals.Then,an efficient self-attention block is developed to capture critical fine-grained features of the signal from a global perspective.Finally,experimental results on the planetary gearbox dataset and themotor roller bearing dataset prove that the proposed framework can balance the advantages of robustness,generalization and lightweight compared to recent state-of-the-art fault diagnosis models based on CNN and Transformer.This study presents a feasible strategy for developing a lightweight rotating machinery fault diagnosis framework aimed at economical deployment.

文摘Photovoltaic (PV) modules, as essential components of solar power generation systems, significantly influence unitpower generation costs.The service life of these modules directly affects these costs. Over time, the performanceof PV modules gradually declines due to internal degradation and external environmental factors.This cumulativedegradation impacts the overall reliability of photovoltaic power generation. This study addresses the complexdegradation process of PV modules by developing a two-stage Wiener process model. This approach accountsfor the distinct phases of degradation resulting from module aging and environmental influences. A powerdegradation model based on the two-stage Wiener process is constructed to describe individual differences inmodule degradation processes. To estimate the model parameters, a combination of the Expectation-Maximization(EM) algorithm and the Bayesian method is employed. Furthermore, the Schwarz Information Criterion (SIC) isutilized to identify critical change points in PV module degradation trajectories. To validate the universality andeffectiveness of the proposed method, a comparative analysis is conducted against other established life predictiontechniques for PV modules.

文摘Located in northern China,the Hetao Plain is an important agro-economic zone and population centre.The deterioration of local groundwater quality has had a serious impact on human health and economic development.Nowadays,the groundwater vulnerability assessment(GVA)has become an essential task to identify the current status and development trend of groundwater quality.In this study,the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)and Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)models are integrated to realize the spatio-temporal prediction of regional groundwater vulnerability by introducing the Self-attention mechanism.The study firstly builds the CNN-LSTM modelwith self-attention(SA)mechanism and evaluates the prediction accuracy of the model for groundwater vulnerability compared to other common machine learning models such as Support Vector Machine(SVM),Random Forest(RF),and Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost).The results indicate that the CNNLSTM model outperforms thesemodels,demonstrating its significance in groundwater vulnerability assessment.It can be posited that the predictions indicate an increased risk of groundwater vulnerability in the study area over the coming years.This increase can be attributed to the synergistic impact of global climate anomalies and intensified local human activities.Moreover,the overall groundwater vulnerability risk in the entire region has increased,evident fromboth the notably high value and standard deviation.This suggests that the spatial variability of groundwater vulnerability in the area is expected to expand in the future due to the sustained progression of climate change and human activities.The model can be optimized for diverse applications across regional environmental assessment,pollution prediction,and risk statistics.This study holds particular significance for ecological protection and groundwater resource management.

文摘Target occlusion poses a significant challenge in computer vision,particularly in agricultural applications,where occlusion of crops can obscure key features and impair the model’s recognition performance.To address this challenge,a mushroom recognition method was proposed based on an erase module integrated into the EL-DenseNet model.EL-DenseNet,an extension of DenseNet,incorporated an erase attention module designed to enhance sensitivity to visible features.The erase module helped eliminate complex backgrounds and irrelevant information,allowing the mushroom body to be preserved and increasing recognition accuracy in cluttered environments.Considering the difficulty in distinguishing similar mushroom species,label smoothing regularization was employed to mitigate mislabeling errors that commonly arose from human observers.This strategy converted hard labels into soft labels during training,reducing the model’s overreliance on noisy labels and improving its generalization ability.Experimental results showed that the proposed EL-DenseNet,when combined with transfer learning,achieved a recognition accuracy of 96.7%for mushrooms in occluded and complex backgrounds.Compared with the original DenseNet and other classic models,this approach demonstrated superior accuracy and robustness,providing a promising solution for intelligent mushroom recognition.

文摘A healthy brain is vital to every person since the brain controls every movement and emotion.Sometimes,some brain cells grow unexpectedly to be uncontrollable and cancerous.These cancerous cells are called brain tumors.For diagnosed patients,their lives depend mainly on the early diagnosis of these tumors to provide suitable treatment plans.Nowadays,Physicians and radiologists rely on Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)pictures for their clinical evaluations of brain tumors.These evaluations are time-consuming,expensive,and require expertise with high skills to provide an accurate diagnosis.Scholars and industrials have recently partnered to implement automatic solutions to diagnose the disease with high accuracy.Due to their accuracy,some of these solutions depend on deep-learning(DL)methodologies.These techniques have become important due to their roles in the diagnosis process,which includes identification and classification.Therefore,there is a need for a solid and robust approach based on a deep-learning method to diagnose brain tumors.The purpose of this study is to develop an intelligent automatic framework for brain tumor diagnosis.The proposed solution is based on a novel dense dynamic residual self-attention transfer adaptive learning fusion approach(NDDRSATALFA),carried over two implemented deep-learning networks:VGG19 and UNET to identify and classify brain tumors.In addition,this solution applies a transfer learning approach to exchange extracted features and data within the two neural networks.The presented framework is trained,validated,and tested on six public datasets of MRIs to detect brain tumors and categorize these tumors into three suitable classes,which are glioma,meningioma,and pituitary.The proposed framework yielded remarkable findings on variously evaluated performance indicators:99.32%accuracy,98.74%sensitivity,98.89%specificity,99.01%Dice,98.93%Area Under the Curve(AUC),and 99.81%F1-score.In addition,a comparative analysis with recent state-of-the-art methods was performed and according to the comparative analysis,NDDRSATALFA shows an admirable level of reliability in simplifying the timely identification of diverse brain tumors.Moreover,this framework can be applied by healthcare providers to assist radiologists,pathologists,and physicians in their evaluations.The attained outcomes open doors for advanced automatic solutions that improve clinical evaluations and provide reasonable treatment plans.

文摘Medical image analysis based on deep learning has become an important technical requirement in the field of smart healthcare.In view of the difficulties in collaborative modeling of local details and global features in multimodal image analysis of ophthalmology,as well as the existence of information redundancy in cross-modal data fusion,this paper proposes amultimodal fusion framework based on cross-modal collaboration and weighted attention mechanism.In terms of feature extraction,the framework collaboratively extracts local fine-grained features and global structural dependencies through a parallel dual-branch architecture,overcoming the limitations of traditional single-modality models in capturing either local or global information;in terms of fusion strategy,the framework innovatively designs a cross-modal dynamic fusion strategy,combining overlappingmulti-head self-attention modules with a bidirectional feature alignment mechanism,addressing the bottlenecks of low feature interaction efficiency and excessive attention fusion computations in traditional parallel fusion,and further introduces cross-domain local integration technology,which enhances the representation ability of the lesion area through pixel-level feature recalibration and optimizes the diagnostic robustness of complex cases.Experiments show that the framework exhibits excellent feature expression and generalization performance in cross-domain scenarios of ophthalmic medical images and natural images,providing a high-precision,low-redundancy fusion paradigm for multimodal medical image analysis,and promoting the upgrade of intelligent diagnosis and treatment fromsingle-modal static analysis to dynamic decision-making.
文摘Deep Learning-based systems for Finger vein recognition have gained rising attention in recent years due to improved efficiency and enhanced security.The performance of existing CNN-based methods is limited by the puny generalization of learned features and deficiency of the finger vein image training data.Considering the concerns of existing methods,in this work,a simplified deep transfer learning-based framework for finger-vein recognition is developed using an EfficientNet model of deep learning with a self-attention mechanism.Data augmentation using various geometrical methods is employed to address the problem of training data shortage required for a deep learning model.The proposed model is tested using K-fold cross-validation on three publicly available datasets:HKPU,FVUSM,and SDUMLA.Also,the developed network is compared with other modern deep nets to check its effectiveness.In addition,a comparison of the proposed method with other existing Finger vein recognition(FVR)methods is also done.The experimental results exhibited superior recognition accuracy of the proposed method compared to other existing methods.In addition,the developed method proves to be more effective and less sophisticated at extracting robust features.The proposed EffAttenNet achieves an accuracy of 98.14%on HKPU,99.03%on FVUSM,and 99.50%on SDUMLA databases.

文摘For image compression sensing reconstruction,most algorithms use the method of reconstructing image blocks one by one and stacking many convolutional layers,which usually have defects of obvious block effects,high computational complexity,and long reconstruction time.An image compressed sensing reconstruction network based on self-attention mechanism(SAMNet)was proposed.For the compressed sampling,self-attention convolution was designed,which was conducive to capturing richer features,so that the compressed sensing measurement value retained more image structure information.For the reconstruction,a self-attention mechanism was introduced in the convolutional neural network.A reconstruction network including residual blocks,bottleneck transformer(BoTNet),and dense blocks was proposed,which strengthened the transfer of image features and reduced the amount of parameters dramatically.Under the Set5 dataset,when the measurement rates are 0.01,0.04,0.10,and 0.25,the average peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)of SAMNet is improved by 1.27,1.23,0.50,and 0.15 dB,respectively,compared to the CSNet+.The running time of reconstructing a 256×256 image is reduced by 0.1473,0.1789,0.2310,and 0.2524 s compared to ReconNet.Experimental results showed that SAMNet improved the quality of reconstructed images and reduced the reconstruction time.
文摘The development of deep learning has made non-biochemical methods for molecular property prediction screening a reality,which can increase the experimental speed and reduce the experimental cost of relevant experiments.There are currently two main approaches to representing molecules:(a)representing molecules by fixing molecular descriptors,and(b)representing molecules by graph convolutional neural networks.Currently,both of these Representative methods have achieved some results in their respective experiments.Based on past efforts,we propose a Dual Self-attention Fusion Message Neural Network(DSFMNN).DSFMNN uses a combination of dual self-attention mechanism and graph convolutional neural network.Advantages of DSFMNN:(1)The dual self-attention mechanism focuses not only on the relationship between individual subunits in a molecule but also on the relationship between the atoms and chemical bonds contained in each subunit.(2)On the directed molecular graph,a message delivery approach centered on directed molecular bonds is used.We test the performance of the model on eight publicly available datasets and compare the performance with several models.Based on the current experimental results,DSFMNN has superior performance compared to previous models on the datasets applied in this paper.

文摘As the complexity of scientific satellite missions increases,the requirements for their magnetic fields,magnetic field fluctuations,and even magnetic field gradients and variations become increasingly stringent.Additionally,there is a growing need to address the alternating magnetic fields produced by the spacecraft itself.This paper introduces a novel modeling method for spacecraft magnetic dipoles using an integrated self-attention mechanism and a transformer combined with Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks.The self-attention mechanism captures correlations among globally sparse data,establishing dependencies b.etween sparse magnetometer readings.Concurrently,the Kolmogorov-Arnold Network,proficient in modeling implicit numerical relationships between data features,enhances the ability to learn subtle patterns.Comparative experiments validate the capability of the proposed method to precisely model magnetic dipoles,achieving maximum Root Mean Square Errors of 24.06 mA·m^(2)and 0.32 cm for size and location modeling,respectively.The spacecraft magnetic model established using this method accurately computes magnetic fields and alternating magnetic fields at designated surfaces or points.This approach facilitates the rapid and precise construction of individual and complete spacecraft magnetic models,enabling the verification of magnetic specifications from the spacecraft design phase.

文摘Currently,most trains are equipped with dedicated cameras for capturing pantograph videos.Pantographs are core to the high-speed-railway pantograph-catenary system,and their failure directly affects the normal operation of high-speed trains.However,given the complex and variable real-world operational conditions of high-speed railways,there is no real-time and robust pantograph fault-detection method capable of handling large volumes of surveillance video.Hence,it is of paramount importance to maintain real-time monitoring and analysis of pantographs.Our study presents a real-time intelligent detection technology for identifying faults in high-speed railway pantographs,utilizing a fusion of self-attention and convolution features.We delved into lightweight multi-scale feature-extraction and fault-detection models based on deep learning to detect pantograph anomalies.Compared with traditional methods,this approach achieves high recall and accuracy in pantograph recognition,accurately pinpointing issues like discharge sparks,pantograph horns,and carbon pantograph-slide malfunctions.After experimentation and validation with actual surveillance videos of electric multiple-unit train,our algorithmic model demonstrates real-time,high-accuracy performance even under complex operational conditions.

文摘The fabrication of efficient and stable flexible perovskite solar modules(F-PSMs)using poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine](PTAA)remains a significant challenge due to its hydrophobic properties and the mismatch in interface energy-level alignment.Here,we introduced[2-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carba zol-9-yl)ethyl]phosphonic acid(MeO-2PACz)to modify the PTAA layer,which effectively suppressed surface potential fluctuations and aligned energy levels at the interface of PTAA/perovskite.Additionally,MeO-2PACz enhanced the hydrophilicity of PTAA,facilitating the fabrication of dense,uniform,and pinhole-free perovskite films on large-area flexible substrates.As a result,we achieved an F-PSM with a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 16.6% and an aperture area of 64 cm^(2),which is the highest reported value among F-PSMs with an active area exceeding 35 cm^(2)based on PTAA.Moreover,the encapsulated module demonstrated outstanding long-term operational stability,retaining 90.2% of its initial efficiency after 1000 bending cycles(5 mm radius),87.2% after 1000 h of continuous illumination,and 80.3% under combined thermal and humid conditions(85℃ and 85% relative humidity),representing one of the most stable F-PSMs reported to date.
