文摘Aimed at the long and narrow geometric features and poor generalization ability of the damage detection in conveyor belts with steel rope cores using the X-ray image,a detection method of damage X-ray image is proposed based on the improved fully convolutional one-stage object detection(FCOS)algorithm.The regression performance of bounding boxes was optimized by introducing the complete intersection over union loss function into the improved algorithm.The feature fusion network structure is modified by adding adaptive fusion paths to the feature fusion network structure,which makes full use of the features of accurate localization and semantics of multi-scale feature fusion networks.Finally,the network structure was trained and validated by using the X-ray image dataset of damages in conveyor belts with steel rope cores provided by a flaw detection equipment manufacturer.In addition,the data enhancement methods such as rotating,mirroring,and scaling,were employed to enrich the image dataset so that the model is adequately trained.Experimental results showed that the improved FCOS algorithm promoted the precision rate and the recall rate by 20.9%and 14.8%respectively,compared with the original algorithm.Meanwhile,compared with Fast R-CNN,Faster R-CNN,SSD,and YOLOv3,the improved FCOS algorithm has obvious advantages;detection precision rate and recall rate of the modified network reached 95.8%and 97.0%respectively.Furthermore,it demonstrated a higher detection accuracy without affecting the speed.The results of this work have some reference significance for the automatic identification and detection of steel core conveyor belt damage.

文摘Given the challenges of underwater garbage detection,including insufficient lighting,low visibility,high noise levels,and high misclassification rates,this paper proposes a model named CSC-YOLO.CSC-YOLO for detecting garbage in complex un-derwater environments characterized by murky water and strong hydrodynamic conditions.The model incorporates the Content-Guid-ed Attention(CGA)attention mechanism into the SPPF module of the YOLOv8 backbone network to enhance dehazing,reduce noise interference,and fuse multi-scale feature information.Additionally,a Single-Head Self-Attention(SHSA)mechanism is introduced in the final layer of the backbone network to achieve local and global feature fusion in a lightweight manner,improving the accuracy of garbage detection.In the detection head,the CBAM attention mechanism is added to further enhance feature representation,increase the model’s target localization,and improve robustness against complex backgrounds and noise.Furthermore,the anchor box coordi-nates from CSC-YOLO are fed into Mobile_SAM to achieve precise segmentation of underwater garbage.Experimental results show that CSC-YOLO achieves a Precision of 0.962,Recall of 0.898,F1-score of 0.929,and mAP0.5 of 0.960 on the ICRA19 trash dataset,representing improvements of 2.9%,1.7%,2.3%,and 2.0%over YOLOv8n,respectively.The combination of CSC-YOLO and Mo-bile_SAM not only enables garbage detection in complex underwater environments but also achieves segmentation.This approach generates additional garbage segmentation masks without manual annotations,facilitating rapid expansion of labeled underwater garbage datasets for training.As an emerging model for intelligent underwater garbage detection,the proposed method holds signifi-cant potential for practical applications and academic research,offering an effective solution to the challenges of intelligent garbage detection in complex underwater environments.

文摘Electronic nose and thermal images are effective ways to diagnose the presence of gases in real-time realtime.Multimodal fusion of these modalities can result in the development of highly accurate diagnostic systems.The low-cost thermal imaging software produces low-resolution thermal images in grayscale format,hence necessitating methods for improving the resolution and colorizing the images.The objective of this paper is to develop and train a super-resolution generative adversarial network for improving the resolution of the thermal images,followed by a sparse autoencoder for colorization of thermal images and amultimodal convolutional neural network for gas detection using electronic nose and thermal images.The dataset used comprises 6400 thermal images and electronic nose measurements for four classes.A multimodal Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)comprising an EfficientNetB2 pre-trainedmodel was developed using both early and late feature fusion.The Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Network(SRGAN)model was developed and trained on low and high-resolution thermal images.Asparse autoencoder was trained on the grayscale and colorized thermal images.The SRGAN was trained on lowand high-resolution thermal images,achieving a Structural Similarity Index(SSIM)of 90.28,a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR)of 68.74,and a Mean Absolute Error(MAE)of 0.066.The autoencoder model produced an MAE of 0.035,a Mean Squared Error(MSE)of 0.006,and a Root Mean Squared Error(RMSE)of 0.0705.The multimodal CNN,trained on these images and electronic nose measurements using both early and late fusion techniques,achieved accuracies of 97.89% and 98.55%,respectively.Hence,the proposed framework can be of great aid for the integration with low-cost software to generate high quality thermal camera images and highly accurate detection of gases in real-time.
文摘A measurement system for the scattering characteristics of warhead fragments based on high-speed imaging systems offers advantages such as simple deployment,flexible maneuverability,and high spatiotemporal resolution,enabling the acquisition of full-process data of the fragment scattering process.However,mismatches between camera frame rates and target velocities can lead to long motion blur tails of high-speed fragment targets,resulting in low signal-to-noise ratios and rendering conventional detection algorithms ineffective in dynamic strong interference testing environments.In this study,we propose a detection framework centered on dynamic strong interference disturbance signal separation and suppression.We introduce a mixture Gaussian model constrained under a joint spatialtemporal-transform domain Dirichlet process,combined with total variation regularization to achieve disturbance signal suppression.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed disturbance suppression method can be integrated with certain conventional motion target detection tasks,enabling adaptation to real-world data to a certain extent.Moreover,we provide a specific implementation of this process,which achieves a detection rate close to 100%with an approximate 0%false alarm rate in multiple sets of real target field test data.This research effectively advances the development of the field of damage parameter testing.

文摘Visible-infrared object detection leverages the day-night stable object perception capability of infrared images to enhance detection robustness in low-light environments by fusing the complementary information of visible and infrared images.However,the inherent differences in the imaging mechanisms of visible and infrared modalities make effective cross-modal fusion challenging.Furthermore,constrained by the physical characteristics of sensors and thermal diffusion effects,infrared images generally suffer from blurred object contours and missing details,making it difficult to extract object features effectively.To address these issues,we propose an infrared-visible image fusion network that realizesmultimodal information fusion of infrared and visible images through a carefully designedmultiscale fusion strategy.First,we design an adaptive gray-radiance enhancement(AGRE)module to strengthen the detail representation in infrared images,improving their usability in complex lighting scenarios.Next,we introduce a channelspatial feature interaction(CSFI)module,which achieves efficient complementarity between the RGB and infrared(IR)modalities via dynamic channel switching and a spatial attention mechanism.Finally,we propose a multi-scale enhanced cross-attention fusion(MSECA)module,which optimizes the fusion ofmulti-level features through dynamic convolution and gating mechanisms and captures long-range complementary relationships of cross-modal features on a global scale,thereby enhancing the expressiveness of the fused features.Experiments on the KAIST,M3FD,and FLIR datasets demonstrate that our method delivers outstanding performance in daytime and nighttime scenarios.On the KAIST dataset,the miss rate drops to 5.99%,and further to 4.26% in night scenes.On the FLIR and M3FD datasets,it achieves AP50 scores of 79.4% and 88.9%,respectively.

文摘Underwater target detection in forward-looking sonar(FLS)images is a challenging but promising endeavor.The existing neural-based methods yield notable progress but there remains room for improvement due to overlooking the unique characteristics of underwater environments.Considering the problems of low imaging resolution,complex background environment,and large changes in target imaging of underwater sonar images,this paper specifically designs a sonar images target detection Network based on Progressive sensitivity capture,named ProNet.It progressively captures the sensitive regions in the current image where potential effective targets may exist.Guided by this basic idea,the primary technical innovation of this paper is the introduction of a foundational module structure for constructing a sonar target detection backbone network.This structure employs a multi-subspace mixed convolution module that initially maps sonar images into different subspaces and extracts local contextual features using varying convolutional receptive fields within these heterogeneous subspaces.Subsequently,a Scale-aware aggregation module effectively aggregates the heterogeneous features extracted from different subspaces.Finally,the multi-scale attention structure further enhances the relational perception of the aggregated features.We evaluated ProNet on three FLS datasets of varying scenes,and experimental results indicate that ProNet outperforms the current state-of-the-art sonar image and general target detectors.

文摘Glaucoma,a chronic eye disease affecting millions worldwide,poses a substantial threat to eyesight and can result in permanent vision loss if left untreated.Manual identification of glaucoma is a complicated and time-consuming practice requiring specialized expertise and results may be subjective.To address these challenges,this research proposes a computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)approach using Artificial Intelligence(AI)techniques for binary and multiclass classification of glaucoma stages.An ensemble fusion mechanism that combines the outputs of three pre-trained convolutional neural network(ConvNet)models–ResNet-50,VGG-16,and InceptionV3 is utilized in this paper.This fusion technique enhances diagnostic accuracy and robustness by ensemble-averaging the predictions from individual models,leveraging their complementary strengths.The objective of this work is to assess the model’s capability for early-stage glaucoma diagnosis.Classification is performed on a dataset collected from the Harvard Dataverse repository.With the proposed technique,for Normal vs.Advanced glaucoma classification,a validation accuracy of 98.04%and testing accuracy of 98.03%is achieved,with a specificity of 100%which outperforms stateof-the-art methods.For multiclass classification,the suggested ensemble approach achieved a precision and sensitivity of 97%,specificity,and testing accuracy of 98.57%and 96.82%,respectively.The proposed E-GlauNet model has significant potential in assisting ophthalmologists in the screening and fast diagnosis of glaucoma,leading to more reliable,efficient,and timely diagnosis,particularly for early-stage detection and staging of the disease.While the proposed method demonstrates high accuracy and robustness,the study is limited by the evaluation of a single dataset.Future work will focus on external validation across diverse datasets and enhancing interpretability using explainable AI techniques.

文摘It is important to understand the development of joints and fractures in rock masses to ensure drilling stability and blasting effectiveness.Traditional manual observation techniques for identifying and extracting fracture characteristics have been proven to be inefficient and prone to subjective interpretation.Moreover,conventional image processing algorithms and classical deep learning models often encounter difficulties in accurately identifying fracture areas,resulting in unclear contours.This study proposes an intelligent method for detecting internal fractures in mine rock masses to address these challenges.The proposed approach captures a nodal fracture map within the targeted blast area and integrates channel and spatial attention mechanisms into the ResUnet(RU)model.The channel attention mechanism dynamically recalibrates the importance of each feature channel,and the spatial attention mechanism enhances feature representation in key areas while minimizing background noise,thus improving segmentation accuracy.A dynamic serpentine convolution module is also introduced that adaptively adjusts the shape and orientation of the convolution kernel based on the local structure of the input feature map.Furthermore,this method enables the automatic extraction and quantification of borehole nodal fracture information by fitting sinusoidal curves to the boundaries of the fracture contours using the least squares method.In comparison to other advanced deep learning models,our enhanced RU demonstrates superior performance across evaluation metrics,including accuracy,pixel accuracy(PA),and intersection over union(IoU).Unlike traditional manual extraction methods,our intelligent detection approach provides considerable time and cost savings,with an average error rate of approximately 4%.This approach has the potential to greatly improve the efficiency of geological surveys of borehole fractures.

文摘It is of great importance to obtain precise trace data,as traces are frequently the sole visible and measurable parameter in most outcrops.The manual recognition and detection of traces on high-resolution three-dimensional(3D)models are relatively straightforward but time-consuming.One potential solution to enhance this process is to use machine learning algorithms to detect the 3D traces.In this study,a unique pixel-wise texture mapper algorithm generates a dense point cloud representation of an outcrop with the precise resolution of the original textured 3D model.A virtual digital image rendering was then employed to capture virtual images of selected regions.This technique helps to overcome limitations caused by the surface morphology of the rock mass,such as restricted access,lighting conditions,and shading effects.After AI-powered trace detection on two-dimensional(2D)images,a 3D data structuring technique was applied to the selected trace pixels.In the 3D data structuring,the trace data were structured through 2D thinning,3D reprojection,clustering,segmentation,and segment linking.Finally,the linked segments were exported as 3D polylines,with each polyline in the output corresponding to a trace.The efficacy of the proposed method was assessed using a 3D model of a real-world case study,which was used to compare the results of artificial intelligence(AI)-aided and human intelligence trace detection.Rosette diagrams,which visualize the distribution of trace orientations,confirmed the high similarity between the automatically and manually generated trace maps.In conclusion,the proposed semi-automatic method was easy to use,fast,and accurate in detecting the dominant jointing system of the rock mass.
