Automatic Identification

ABSTRACTClassifying and mapping vegetation are very important tasks in environmental science and natural resource management. However, these tasks are not easy because conventional methods such as field surveys are highly labor intensive. Automatic identification of target objects from visual data is one of the most promising ways to reduce the costs for vegetation mapping. Although deep learning has become a new solution for image recognition and classification recently, in general, detection of ambiguous objects such as vegetation still is considered difficult. In this paper, we investigated the potential for adapting the chopped picture method, a recently described protocol for deep learning, to detect plant communities in Google Earth images. We selected bamboo forests as the target. We obtained Google Earth images from three regions in Japan. By applying the deep convolutional neural network, the model successfully learned the features of bamboo forests in Google Earth images, and the best trained model correctly detected 97% of the targets. Our results show that identification accuracy strongly depends on the image resolution and the quality of training data. Our results also highlight that deep learning and the chopped picture method can potentially become a powerful tool for high accuracy automated detection and mapping of vegetation.

Sky Conditions

The radiometric quality of remotely sensed imagery is crucial for precision agriculture applications because estimations of plant health rely on the underlying quality. Sky conditions, and specifically shadowing from clouds, are critical determinants in the quality of images that can be obtained from low-altitude sensing platforms. In this work, we first compare common deep learning approaches to classify sky conditions with regard to cloud shadows in agricultural fields using a visible spectrum camera. We then develop an artificial-intelligence-based edge computing system to fully automate the classification process. Training data consisting of 100 oblique angle images of the sky were provided to a convolutional neural network and two deep residual neural networks (ResNet18 and ResNet34) to facilitate learning two classes, namely (1) good image quality expected, and (2) degraded image quality expected. The expectation of quality stemmed from the sky condition (i.e., density, coverage, and thickness of clouds) present at the time of the image capture. These networks were tested using a set of 13,000 images. Our results demonstrated that ResNet18 and ResNet34 classifiers produced better classification accuracy when compared to a convolutional neural network classifier. The best overall accuracy was obtained by ResNet34, which was 92% accurate, with a Kappa statistic of 0.77. These results demonstrate a low-cost solution to quality control for future autonomous farming systems that will operate without human intervention and supervision.

Silicon wafer defect data collected from fabrication facilities is intrinsically imbalanced because of the variable frequencies of defect types. Frequently occurring types will have more influence on the classification predictions if a model gets trained on such skewed data. A fair classifier for such imbalanced data requires a mechanism to deal with type imbalance in order to avoid biased results. This study has proposed a convolutional neural network for wafer map defect classification, employing oversampling as an imbalance addressing technique. To have an equal participation of all classes in the classifier’s training, data augmentation has been employed, generating more samples in minor classes. The proposed deep learning method has been evaluated on a real wafer map defect dataset and its classification results on the test set returned a 97.91% accuracy. The results were compared with another deep learning based auto-encoder model demonstrating the proposed method, a potential approach for silicon wafer defect classification that needs to be investigated further for its robustness.

Machine learning is the study of algorithms and models for computing systems to do tasks based on pattern identification and inference. When it is difficult or infeasible to develop an algorithm to do a particular task, machine learning algorithms can provide an output based on previous training data. A well-known machine learning model is deep learning. The most recent deep learning models are based on artificial neural networks (ANN). There exist several types of artificial neural networks including the feedforward neural network, the Kohonen self-organizing neural network, the recurrent neural network, the convolutional neural network, the modular neural network, among others. This article focuses on convolutional neural networks with a description of the model, the training and inference processes and its applicability. It will also give an overview of the most used CNN models and what to expect from the next generation of CNN models.

The main goal of any classification or regression task is to obtain a model that will generalize well on new, previously unseen data. Due to the recent rise of deep learning and many state-of-the-art results obtained with deep models, deep learning architectures have become one of the most used model architectures nowadays. To generalize well, a deep model needs to learn the training data well without overfitting. The latter implies a correlation of deep model optimization and regularization with generalization performance. In this work, we explore the effect of the used optimization algorithm and regularization techniques on the final generalization performance of the model with convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture widely used in the field of computer vision. We give a detailed overview of optimization and regularization techniques with a comparative analysis of their performance with three CNNs on the CIFAR-10 and Fashion-MNIST image datasets.

In this paper, a data mining model on a hybrid deep learning framework is designed to diagnose the medical conditions of patients infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus. The hybrid deep learning model is designed as a combination of convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) and named as DeepSense method. It is designed as a series of layers to extract and classify the related features of COVID-19 infections from the lungs. The computerized tomography image is used as an input data, and hence, the classifier is designed to ease the process of classification on learning the multidimensional input data using the Expert Hidden layers. The validation of the model is conducted against the medical image datasets to predict the infections using deep learning classifiers. The results show that the DeepSense classifier offers accuracy in an improved manner than the conventional deep and machine learning classifiers. The proposed method is validated against three different datasets, where the training data are compared with 70%, 80%, and 90% training data. It specifically provides the quality of the diagnostic method adopted for the prediction of COVID-19 infections in a patient.

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are important in modern factories. The main functions of an AGV are its own localization and object detection, for which both sensor and localization methods are crucial. For localization, we used a small imaging sensor named a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) light detection and ranging (LiDAR), which uses the time-of-flight principle and arrays of SPADs. The SPAD LiDAR works both indoors and outdoors and is suitable for AGV applications. We utilized a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) as a localization method. For accurate CNN-based localization, the quality of the supervised data is important. The localization results can be poor or good if the supervised training data are noisy or clean, respectively. To address this issue, we propose a quality index for supervised data based on correlations between consecutive frames visualizing the important pixels for CNN-based localization. First, the important pixels for CNN-based localization are determined, and the quality index of supervised data is defined based on differences in these pixels. We evaluated the quality index in indoor-environment localization using the SPAD LiDAR and compared the localization performance. Our results demonstrate that the index correlates well to the quality of supervised training data for CNN-based localization.

The increasingly popular application of AI runs the risk of amplifying social bias, such as classifying non-white faces as animals. Recent research has largely attributed this bias to the training data implemented. However, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood; therefore, strategies to rectify the bias are unresolved. Here, we examined a typical deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), VGG-Face, which was trained with a face dataset consisting of more white faces than black and Asian faces. The transfer learning result showed significantly better performance in identifying white faces, similar to the well-known social bias in humans, the other-race effect (ORE). To test whether the effect resulted from the imbalance of face images, we retrained the VGG-Face with a dataset containing more Asian faces, and found a reverse ORE that the newly-trained VGG-Face preferred Asian faces over white faces in identification accuracy. Additionally, when the number of Asian faces and white faces were matched in the dataset, the DCNN did not show any bias. To further examine how imbalanced image input led to the ORE, we performed a representational similarity analysis on VGG-Face's activation. We found that when the dataset contained more white faces, the representation of white faces was more distinct, indexed by smaller in-group similarity and larger representational Euclidean distance. That is, white faces were scattered more sparsely in the representational face space of the VGG-Face than the other faces. Importantly, the distinctiveness of faces was positively correlated with identification accuracy, which explained the ORE observed in the VGG-Face. In summary, our study revealed the mechanism underlying the ORE in DCNNs, which provides a novel approach to studying AI ethics. In addition, the face multidimensional representation theory discovered in humans was also applicable to DCNNs, advocating for future studies to apply more cognitive theories to understand DCNNs' behavior.
