Recent study has investigated how ML and DL approaches may be used to increase the accuracy of vagina tests. In this piece, we conducted a thorough review of 50 research studies that applied these techniques. Our investigation compared the outcomes to well-known screening techniques and concentrated on the datasets used and performance measurements reported. According to the research, convolutional neural networks and other deep learning approaches have potential for lowering false positives and boosting screening precision. Although several research used small sample sizes or constrained datasets, this raises questions about how applicable the findings are. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the articles that were chosen, as well as prospective topics for future research, to further the application of ml and dl in cervical cancer screening. The development of cervical cancer screening technologies that are more precise, accessible, and can lead to better public health outcomes is significantly affected by these findings.展开更多

摘要Aiming at the problem that the bit error rate(BER)of asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(ACO-OFDM)space optical communication system is significantly affected by different turbulence intensities,the deep learning technique is proposed to the polarization code decoding in ACO-OFDM space optical communication system.Moreover,this system realizes the polarization code decoding and signal demodulation without frequency conduction with superior performance and robustness compared with the performance of traditional decoder.Simulations under different turbulence intensities as well as different mapping orders show that the convolutional neural network(CNN)decoder trained under weak-medium-strong turbulence atmospheric channels achieves a performance improvement of about 102compared to the conventional decoder at 4-quadrature amplitude modulation(4QAM),and the BERs for both 16QAM and 64QAM are in between those of the conventional decoder.
摘要Fruit yield estimation is crucial for establishing fruit harvest and marketing strategies.Recently,computer vision and deep learning techniques have been used to estimate citrus fruit yield and have exhibited notable fruit detection ability.However,computer-visionbased citrus fruit counting has two key limitations:inconsistent fruit detection accuracy and double-counting of the same fruit.Using oranges as the experimental material,this paper proposes a deep-learning-based orange counting algorithm using video sequences to help overcome these problems.The algorithm consists of two sub-algorithms,OrangeYolo for fruit detection and OrangeSort for fruit tracking.The OrangeYolo backbone network is partially based on the YOLOv3 algorithm,which has been improved upon to detect small objects(fruits)at multiple scales.The network structure was adjusted to detect small-scale targets while enabling multiscale target detection.A channel attention and spatial attention multiscale fusion module was introduced to fuse the semantic features of the deep network with the shallow textural detail features.OrangeYolo can achieve mean Average Precision(mAP)values of 0.957 in the citrus dataset,higher than the 0.905,0.911,and 0.917 achieved with the YOLOv3,YOLOv4,and YOLOv5 algorithms.OrangeSort was designed to alleviate the double-counting problem associated with occluded fruits.A specific tracking region counting strategy and tracking algorithm based on motion displacement estimation were established.Six video sequences taken from two fields containing 22 trees were used as the validation dataset.The proposed method showed better performance(Mean Absolute Error(MAE)=0.081,Standard Deviation(SD)=0.08)than video-based manual counting and produced more accurate results than the existing standards Sort and DeepSort(MAE=0.45 and 1.212;SD=0.4741 and 1.3975).

摘要Detecting COVID-19 cases as early as possible became a critical issue that must be addressed to avoid the pandemic’s additional spread and early provide the appropriate treatment to the affected patients.This study aimed to develop a COVID-19 diagnosis and prediction(AIMDP)model that could identify patients with COVID-19 and distinguish it from other viral pneumonia signs detected in chest computed tomography(CT)scans.The proposed system uses convolutional neural networks(CNNs)as a deep learning technology to process hundreds of CT chest scan images and speeds up COVID-19 case prediction to facilitate its containment.We employed the whale optimization algorithm(WOA)to select the most relevant patient signs.A set of experiments validated AIMDP performance.It demonstrated the superiority of AIMDP in terms of the area under the curve-receiver operating characteristic(AUC-ROC)curve,positive predictive value(PPV),negative predictive rate(NPR)and negative predictive value(NPV).AIMDP was applied to a dataset of hundreds of real data and CT images,and it was found to achieve 96%AUC for diagnosing COVID-19 and 98%for overall accuracy.The results showed the promising performance of AIMDP for diagnosing COVID-19 when compared to other recent diagnosing and predicting models.

摘要In this paper,we propose a long short-term memory(LSTM)deep learning model to deal with the smoothed monthly sunspot number(SSN),aiming to address the problem whereby the prediction results of the existing sunspot prediction methods are not uniform and have large deviations.Our method optimizes the number of hidden nodes and batch sizes of the LSTM network structures to 19 and 20,respectively.The best length of time series and the value of the timesteps were then determined for the network training,and one-step and multi-step predictions for Cycle 22 to Cycle 24 were made using the well-established network.The results showed that the maximum root-mean-square error(RMSE)of the one-step prediction model was6.12 and the minimum was only 2.45.The maximum amplitude prediction error of the multi-step prediction was 17.2%and the minimum was only 3.0%.Finally,the next solar cycles(Cycle 25)peak amplitude was predicted to occur around 2023,with a peak value of about 114.3.The accuracy of this prediction method is better than that of the other commonly used methods,and the method has high applicability.
摘要Cervical cancer is a serious public health issue worldwide, and early identification is crucial for better patient outcomes. Recent study has investigated how ML and DL approaches may be used to increase the accuracy of vagina tests. In this piece, we conducted a thorough review of 50 research studies that applied these techniques. Our investigation compared the outcomes to well-known screening techniques and concentrated on the datasets used and performance measurements reported. According to the research, convolutional neural networks and other deep learning approaches have potential for lowering false positives and boosting screening precision. Although several research used small sample sizes or constrained datasets, this raises questions about how applicable the findings are. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the articles that were chosen, as well as prospective topics for future research, to further the application of ml and dl in cervical cancer screening. The development of cervical cancer screening technologies that are more precise, accessible, and can lead to better public health outcomes is significantly affected by these findings.

摘要Rock mass discontinuities arise from tectonic movements and other geological processes,reflecting the evolution of the Earth's crust.These discontinuities significantly influence the physical properties,deformation characteristics,and energy release mechanisms of the crust.Therefore,recognizing discontinuities is crucial for understanding the evolution of geological structures,analyzing the physical and mechanical properties of geological bodies,and investigating geological hazards.Traditionally,discontinuity recognition has relied on manual interpretation or automated algorithms based on pixel brightness.However,these methods often struggle to strike a balance between efficiency and robustness.To overcome these limitations,we leveraged deep learning techniques that integrate the strengths of both approaches,enabling the recognition of automated discontinuity with expert-level accuracy.To accomplish this objective,we developed and open-sourced the first large-scale deep learning database for rock mass discontinuities,featuring over 300,000 annotated discontinuities.The YOLOv8x-seg model was extensively trained on this database and evaluated across diverse and complex scenarios.The results demonstrated the model's capability to accurately recognize discontinuities even under challenging conditions.Furthermore,we expanded the test set to include rock masses from various global locations,as well as underground rock masses,soils,and artificial structures,where the model consistently achieved effective recognition.The model consistently delivered accurate results,highlighting its strong generalization capability.A comparative analysis revealed that its performance closely aligns with expert manual interpretations.Our open-source database enables researchers to train various deep learning models and achieve equally high-performance results.

摘要Deep learning techniques have recently been the most popular method for automatically detecting bridge damage captured by unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs).However,their wider application to real-world scenarios is hindered by three challenges:①defect scale variance,motion blur,and strong illumination significantly affect the accuracy and reliability of damage detectors;②existing commonly used anchor-based damage detectors struggle to effectively generalize to harsh real-world scenarios;and③convolutional neural networks(CNNs)lack the capability to model long-range dependencies across the entire image.This paper presents an efficient Vision Transformer-enhanced anchor-free YOLO(you only look once)method to address these challenges.First,a concrete bridge damage dataset was established,augmented by motion blur and varying brightness.Four key enhancements were then applied to an anchor-based YOLO method:①Four detection heads were introduced to alleviate the multi-scale damage detection issue;②decoupled heads were employed to address the conflict between classification and bounding box regression tasks inherent in the original coupled head design;③an anchor-free mechanism was incorporated to reduce the computational complexity and improve generalization to real-world scenarios;and④a novel Vision Transformer block,C3MaxViT,was added to enable CNNs to model long-range dependencies.These enhancements were integrated into an advanced anchor-based YOLOv5l algorithm,and the proposed Vision Transformer-enhanced anchor-free YOLO method was then compared against cutting-edge damage detection methods.The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method,with an increase of 8.1%in mean average precision at intersection over union threshold of 0.5(mAP50)and an improvement of 8.4%in mAP@[0.5:.05:.95]respectively.Furthermore,extensive ablation studies revealed that the four detection heads,decoupled head design,anchor-free mechanism,and C3MaxViT contributed improvements of 2.4%,1.2%,2.6%,and 1.9%in mAP50,respectively.

摘要Privacy and trust are significant issues in intelligent transportation systems(ITS).Data security is critical in ITS systems since sensitive user data is communicated to another user over the internet through wireless devices and routes such as radio channels,optical fiber,and blockchain technology.The Internet of Things(IoT)is a network of connected,interconnected gadgets.Privacy issues occasionally arise due to the amount of data generated.However,they have been primarily addressed by blockchain and smart contract technology.While there are still security issues with smart contracts,primarily due to the complexity of writing the code,there are still many challenges to consider when designing blockchain designs for the IoT environment.This study uses traditional blockchain technology with the“You Only Look Once”(YOLO)object detection method to accurately locate and identify license plates.While YOLO and blockchain technologies used for intelligent vehicle license plate recognition are promising,they have received limited research attention.Real-time object identification and recognition would be possible by combining a cutting-edge object detection technique with a regional convolutional neural network(RCNN)built with the tensor flow core open source libraries.This method works reasonably well for identifying any license plate.The Automatic License Plate Recognition(ALPR)approach delivered outstanding results in various datasets.First,with a recognition rate of 96.2%,our system(UFPR-ALPR)surpassed the previously used technology,consisting of 4500 frames and around 150 films.Second,a deep learning algorithm was trained to recognize images of license plate numbers using the UFPR-ALPR dataset.Third,the license plate’s characters were complicated for standard methods to identify because of the shifting lighting correctly.The proposed model,however,produced beneficial outcomes.
摘要In the past,sketches were a standard technique used for recognizing offenders and have remained a valuable tool for law enforcement and social security purposes.However,relying on eyewitness observations can lead to discrepancies in the depictions of the sketch,depending on the experience and skills of the sketch artist.With the emergence of modern technologies such as Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs),generating images using verbal and textual cues is now possible,resulting in more accurate sketch depictions.In this study,we propose an adversarial network that generates human facial sketches using such cues provided by an observer.Additionally,we have introduced an Inverse Gamma Correction Technique to improve the training and enhance the quality of the generated sketches.To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method,we conducted experiments and analyzed the results using the inception score and Frechet Inception Distance metrics.Our proposed method achieved an overall inception score of 1.438±0.049 and a Frechet Inception Distance of 65.29,outperforming other state-of-the-art techniques.

摘要Radio frequency interference(RFI)will pollute the weak astronomical signals received by radio telescopes,which in return will seriously affect the time-domain astronomical observation and research.In this paper,we use a deep learning method to identify RFI in frequency spectrum data,and propose a neural network based on Unet that combines the principles of depthwise separable convolution and residual,named DSC Based Dual-Resunet.Compared with the existing Unet network,DSC Based Dual-Resunet performs better in terms of accuracy,F1 score,and MIoU,and is also better in terms of computation cost where the model size and parameter amount are 12.5%of Unet and the amount of computation is 38%of Unet.The experimental results show that the proposed network is a high-performance and lightweight network,and it is hopeful to be applied to RFI identification of radio telescopes on a large scale.
摘要The coronavirus(COVID-19)is a lethal virus causing a rapidly infec-tious disease throughout the globe.Spreading awareness,taking preventive mea-sures,imposing strict restrictions on public gatherings,wearing facial masks,and maintaining safe social distancing have become crucial factors in keeping the virus at bay.Even though the world has spent a whole year preventing and curing the disease caused by the COVID-19 virus,the statistics show that the virus can cause an outbreak at any time on a large scale if thorough preventive measures are not maintained accordingly.Tofight the spread of this virus,technologically developed systems have become very useful.However,the implementation of an automatic,robust,continuous,and lightweight monitoring system that can be efficiently deployed on an embedded device still has not become prevalent in the mass community.This paper aims to develop an automatic system to simul-taneously detect social distance and face mask violation in real-time that has been deployed in an embedded system.A modified version of a convolutional neural network,the ResNet50 model,has been utilized to identify masked faces in peo-ple.You Only Look Once(YOLOv3)approach is applied for object detection and the DeepSORT technique is used to measure the social distance.The efficiency of the proposed model is tested on real-time video sequences taken from a video streaming source from an embedded system,Jetson Nano edge computing device,and smartphones,Android and iOS applications.Empirical results show that the implemented model can efficiently detect facial masks and social distance viola-tions with acceptable accuracy and precision scores.
