Currently, most agricultural products in developing countries are exported to many countries around the world. Therefore, the classification of these products according to different standards is necessary. In Vietnam, dragon fruit is considered as the fruit with the highest export rate. Currently, the classification of dragon fruit is carried manually, lead to low-quality classification high labor costs. Therefore, this study describes an automatic dragon fruit classifying system using non-destructive measurements, based on a convolutional neural network (CNN). This classifying system uses a combination of a model of machine learning and image processing using a convolutional neural network to identify the external features of dragon fruits; the fruits are then classified and evaluated by groups. The dragon fruit is recognized by the system, which extracts the objects combined with the signal obtained from the loadcell to calculate and determine dragon fruit in each group. The training data are collected from the dragon fruit processing system, with a dataset of images obtained from more than 1287 dragon fruits, to train the model. In this system, the classification of the processing speed and accuracy are the two most important factors. The results show that the classification system achieves high efficiency. The system is effective with existing dragon fruit types. In Vietnamese factories, the processing speed of the system increases the sorting capacity of export packing facilities to six times higher than that of the manual method, with an accuracy of more than 96%.

Despeckling is a longstanding topic in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Recently, many convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods have been proposed and shown state-of-the-art performance for SAR despeckling problem. However, these CNN based methods always need many training data or can only deal with specific noise level. To solve these problems, we directly embed an efficient CNN pre-trained model for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with Multi-channel Logarithm with Gaussian denoising (MuLoG) algorithm to deal with the multiplicative noise in SAR images. This flexible pre-trained CNN model takes the noise level as input, thus only a single pre-trained model is needed to deal with different noise levels. We also use a detector to find the homogeneous region automatically to estimate the noise level of image as input. Embedded with MuLoG, our proposed filter can despeckle not only single channel but also multi-channel SAR images. Finally, both simulated and real (Pol)SAR images were tested in experiments, and the results show that the proposed method has better and more robust performance than others.

The recognition of herbs and spices among young generation is still low. Based on research in SMK 9 Bandung, showed that there are 47% of students that did not recognize herbs and spices. The method that can be used to overcome this problem is automatic digital sorting of herbs and spices using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm. In this study, there are 300 images of herbs and spices that will be classified into 3 categories. It’s ginseng, ginger and galangal. Data in each category is divided into two, training data and testing data with a ratio of 80%: 20%. CNN model used in classification of digital images of herbs and spices is a model with 2 convolutional layers, where the first convolutional layer has 10 filters and the second convolutional layer has 20 filters. Each filter has a kernel matrix with a size of 3x3. The filter size at the pooling layer is 3x3 and the number of neurons in the hidden layer is 10. The activation function at the convolutional layer and hidden layer is tanh, and the activation function at the output layer is softmax. In this model, the accuracy of training data is 0.9875 and the loss value is 0.0769. The accuracy of testing data is 0.85 and the loss value is 0.4773. Meanwhile, testing new data with 3 images for each category produces an accuracy of 88.89%. Keywords: image classification, herbs and spices, CNN.

A new tool is introduced for screening macromolecular X-ray crystallography diffraction images produced at an X-ray free-electron laser light source. Based on a data-driven deep learning approach, the proposed tool executes a convolutional neural network to detect Bragg spots. Automatic image processing algorithms described can enable the classification of large data sets, acquired under realistic conditions consisting of noisy data with experimental artifacts. Outcomes are compared for different data regimes, including samples from multiple instruments and differing amounts of training data for neural network optimization.

Cacao pod's ideal harvesting time is when it is about to be ripe. Immature harvest would result in hard cacao beans not suitable for fermentation, while overripe cacao pods lead to fungal-infected, defective, and poor-quality yields. The demand for high-quality cacao products is expected to rise due to advancing technology in the present. Pre-harvesting needs to provide optimal identification of which amongst the pods are ripened enough and ready for the next stage of the cacao process. This paper recommends a technique to determine the ripeness of cacao. Nine hundred thirty-three cacao samples were used to collect thumping audio data at five different pod's exocarp locations. Each sound file is 1 second long, creating 4665 cacao sound file datasets at 16kHz sample rate and 16-bit audio bit depth. The process of the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient Spectogram was then applied to extract recognizable features for the training process. The deep learning method integrated was a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify the cacao sound successfully. The experimental design model's output exhibits an accuracy of 97.50 % for the training data and 97.13 % for the validation data. While the overall accuracy mean of the classification system is 97.46 %, whether the cacao is unripe or ripe.

Malaria is a disease caused by plasmodium which attacks red blood cells. Diagnosis of malaria can be made by examining the patient's red blood cells using a microscope. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a deep learning method that is growing rapidly. CNN is often used in image classification. The CNN process usually requires considerable resources. This is one of the weaknesses of CNN. In this study, the CNN architecture used in the classification of red blood cell images is LeNet-5 and DRNet. The data used is a segmented image of red blood cells and is secondary data. Before conducting the data training, data pre-processing and data augmentation from the dataset was carried out. The number of layers of the LeNet-5 and DRNet models were 4 and 7. The test accuracy of the LeNet-5 and DrNet models was 95% and 97.3%, respectively. From the test results, it was found that the LeNet-5 model was more suitable in terms of red blood cell classification. By using the LeNet-5 architecture, the resources used to perform classification can be reduced compared to previous studies where the accuracy obtained is also the same because the number of layers is less, which is only 4 layers

With the exponential growth of the presence of sport in the media, the need for effective classification of sports images has become crucial. The traditional approaches require carefully hand-crafted features, which make them impractical for massive-scale data and less accurate in distinguishing images that are very similar in appearance. As the deep learning methods can automatically extract deep representation of training data and have achieved impressive performance in image classification, our goal was to apply them to automatic classification of very similar sports disciplines. For this purpose, we developed a CNN-TL-DE method for image classification using the fine-tuning of transfer learning for training a convolutional neural network model with the use of hyper-parameter optimization based on differential evolution. Through the automatic optimization of neural network topology and essential training parameters, we significantly improved the classification performance evaluated on a dataset composed from images of four similar sports—American football, rugby, soccer, and field hockey. The analysis of interpretable representation of the trained model additionally revealed interesting insights into how our model perceives images which contributed to a greater confidence in the model prediction. The performed experiments showed our proposed method to be a very competitive image classification method for distinguishing very similar sports and sport situations.

The article proposes the classification of lenses with different symmetrical beam angles and offers a scale as a spot-light’s palette. A collection of spotlight’s images was created and classified according to the proposed scale. The analysis of 788 pcs of existing lenses and reflectors with different LEDs and COBs carried out, and the dependence of the axial light intensity from beam angle was obtained. A transfer training of new deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the pre-trained GoogleNet was performed using this collection. GradCAM analysis showed that the trained network correctly identifies the features of objects. This work allows us to classify arbitrary spotlights with an accuracy of about 80 %. Thus, light designer can determine the class of spotlight and corresponding type of lens with its technical parameters using this new model based on CCN.
