Gearboxes are mechanical devices that play an essential role in several applications, e.g., the transmission of automotive vehicles. Their malfunctioning may result in economic losses and accidents, among others. The rise of powerful graphical processing units spreads the use of deep learning-based solutions to many problems, which includes the fault diagnosis on gearboxes. Those solutions usually require a significant amount of data, high computational power, and a long training process. The training of deep learning-based systems may not be feasible when GPUs are not available. This paper proposes a solution to reduce the training time of deep learning-based fault diagnosis systems without compromising their accuracy. The solution is based on the use of a decision stage to interpret all the probability outputs of a classifier whose output layer has the softmax activation function. Two classification algorithms were applied to perform the decision. We have reduced the training time by almost 80% without compromising the average accuracy of the fault diagnosis system.

The safety of electric power networks depends on the health of the transformer. However, once a variety of transformer failure occurs, it will not only reduce the reliability of the power system but also cause major accidents and huge economic losses. Until now, many diagnosis methods have been proposed to monitor the operation of the transformer. Most of these methods cannot be detected and diagnosed online and are prone to noise interference and high maintenance cost that will cause obstacles to the real-time monitoring system of the transformer. This paper presents a full-time online fault monitoring system for cast-resin transformer and proposes an overheating fault diagnosis method based on infrared thermography (IRT) images. First, the normal and fault IRT images of the cast-resin transformer are collected by the proposed thermal camera monitoring system. Next is the model training for the Wasserstein Autoencoder Reconstruction (WAR) model and the Differential Image Classification (DIC) model. The differential image can be acquired by the calculation of pixel-wise absolute difference between real images and regenerated images. Finally, in the test phase, the well-trained WAR and DIC models are connected in series to form a module for fault diagnosis. Compared with the existing deep learning algorithms, the experimental results demonstrate the great advantages of the proposed model, which can obtain the comprehensive performance with lightweight, small storage size, rapid inference time and adequate diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract Detection of plant disease has a crucial role in better understanding the economy of India in terms of agricultural productivity. Early recognition and categorization of diseases in plants are very crucial as it can adversely affect the growth and development of species. Numerous machine learning methods like SVM (support vector machine), random forest, KNN (k-nearest neighbor), Naïve Bayes, decision tree, etc., have been exploited for recognition, discovery, and categorization of plant diseases; however, the advancement of machine learning by DL (deep learning) is supposed to possess tremendous potential in enhancing the accuracy. This paper proposed a model comprising of Auto-Color Correlogram as image filter and DL as classifiers with different activation functions for plant disease. This proposed model is implemented on four different datasets to solve binary and multiclass subcategories of plant diseases. Using the proposed model, results achieved are better, obtaining 99.4% accuracy and 99.9% sensitivity for binary class and 99.2% accuracy for multiclass. It is proven that the proposed model outperforms other approaches, namely LibSVM, SMO (sequential minimal optimization), and DL with activation function softmax and softsign in terms of F-measure, recall, MCC (Matthews correlation coefficient), specificity and sensitivity.

Yellow rust is a disease with a wide range that causes great damage to wheat. The traditional method of manually identifying wheat yellow rust is very inefficient. To improve this situation, this study proposed a deep-learning-based method for identifying wheat yellow rust from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images. The method was based on the pyramid scene parsing network (PSPNet) semantic segmentation model to classify healthy wheat, yellow rust wheat, and bare soil in small-scale UAV images, and to investigate the spatial generalization of the model. In addition, it was proposed to use the high-accuracy classification results of traditional algorithms as weak samples for wheat yellow rust identification. The recognition accuracy of the PSPNet model in this study reached 98%. On this basis, this study used the trained semantic segmentation model to recognize another wheat field. The results showed that the method had certain generalization ability, and its accuracy reached 98%. In addition, the high-accuracy classification result of a support vector machine was used as a weak label by weak supervision, which better solved the labeling problem of large-size images, and the final recognition accuracy reached 94%. Therefore, the present study method facilitated timely control measures to reduce economic losses.

Abstract Support vector machine (SVM) techniques and deep learning have been prevalent in object classification for many years. However, deep learning is computation-intensive and can require a long training time. SVM is significantly faster than Convolution Neural Network (CNN). However, the SVM has limited its applications in the mid-size dataset as it requires proper tuning. Recently the parameterization of multiple kernels has shown greater flexibility in the characterization of the dataset. Therefore, this paper proposes a sparse coded multi-scale approach to reduce training complexity and tuning of SVM using a non-linear fusion of kernels for large class natural scene classification. The optimum features are obtained by parameterizing the dictionary, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) parameters, and fusion of multiple kernels. Experiments were conducted on a large dataset to examine the multi-kernel space capability to find distinct features for better classification. The proposed approach founds to be promising than the linear multi-kernel SVM approaches achieving 91.12 % maximum accuracy.

Abstract. Internal bruise damage that occurs in blueberry fruit during harvest operations and postharvest handling lowers the overall quality and causes significant economic losses. The main goal of this study was to nondestructively detect internal bruises in blueberries after mechanical damage using hyperspectral transmittance imaging. A total of 600 hand-harvested blueberries were divided into 20 groups of four storage times (30 min, 3 h, 12 h, and 24 h), two storage temperatures (22°C and 4°C), and three treatments (stem bruise, equator bruise, and control). A near-infrared hyperspectral imaging system was used to acquire transmittance images from 970 to 1400 nm with 5 nm bandwidth. Images were acquired from three orientations (calyx-up, stem-up, and equator-up) for fruit in the control and stem bruise groups and from four orientations (calyx-up, stem-up, equator-up, and equator-down) in the equator bruise groups. Immediately after imaging, the fruit samples were sliced, and the sliced surfaces were photographed. The color images of sliced fruit were used as references. By comparing with the reference color images, the profiles of spatial and spectral intensities were evaluated to observe the effect of orientation and help extract regions of interest (ROIs) of bruised and healthy tissues. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was trained and tested to classify pixels of bruised and healthy tissues. Classification maps were produced, and the bruise ratio was calculated to identify bruised blueberries (bruise ratio >25%). The average accuracy of blueberry identification was 94.5% with the stem-up orientation. The results indicate that detecting bruised blueberries as soon as 30 min after mechanical damage is feasible using hyperspectral transmittance imaging. Keywords: Blueberry, Bruise detection, Classification, Hyperspectral imagery, Transmittance mode.


Gearbox is an important component used for automobiles, machine tools, industries etc. Failure of any component in gearbox will cause huge maintenance cost and production loss. Failure should be detected as early as possible in order to avoid sudden breakdown which even cause catastrophic failures. Vibration signals are used for machine condition monitoring for predictive maintenance and efficiently predicts fault in the gearbox. In this paper signals from vibration is used for diagnosis of gearbox fault. The experiment uses four different conditions of gearbox in four different load conditions. Then statistical feature extraction is done and obtained result is given to Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) for fault diagnosis. The efficiency of these four techniques is compared and shows that machine learning is better than deep learning in gearbox fault diagnosis.

Gear faults have always been a problem encountered in mechanical processing. For gear fault diagnosis, using mathematical-statistical feature extraction methods, deep learning neural networks (DLNN), particle swarm algorithm (PSA), and support vector machines (SVM), etc. According to the feature extraction of deep learning and particle swarm SVM state recognition, the intelligent diagnosis model is established, and the reliability of the model is verified by experiments. The model uses the combination of spectral features extracted by deep learning adaptively and the time domain features extracted by mathematical statistics methods to form a joint feature vector and then uses particle swarm SVM to diagnose the joint feature vector. After research, this paper draws a classification fitness curve combining the fault spectrum features extracted by DLNN and traditional time-domain statistical features. The classification result obtained by using this method is 95.3%. The reliability of the model is verified, and satisfactory diagnosis results are obtained. In addition, the application results also verify the effectiveness of adaptively extracting spectral features based on deep learning.

Drowsy driving is one of the common causes of road accidents resulting in injuries, even death, and significant economic losses to drivers, road users, families, and society. There have been many studies carried out in an attempt to detect drowsiness for alert systems. However, a majority of the studies focused on determining eyelid and mouth movements, which have revealed many limitations for drowsiness detection. Besides, physiological measures-based studies may not be feasible in practice because the measuring devices are often not available on vehicles and often uncomfortable for drivers. In this research, we therefore propose two efficient methods with three scenarios for doze alert systems. The former applies facial landmarks to detect blinks and yawns based on appropriate thresholds for each driver. The latter uses deep learning techniques with two adaptive deep neural networks based on MobileNet-V2 and ResNet-50V2. The second method analyzes the videos and detects driver’s activities in every frame to learn all features automatically. We leverage the advantage of the transfer learning technique to train the proposed networks on our training dataset. This solves the problem of limited training datasets, provides fast training time, and keeps the advantage of the deep neural networks. Experiments were conducted to test the effectiveness of our methods compared with other methods. Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed method using deep learning techniques can achieve a high accuracy of 97% . This study provides meaningful solutions in practice to prevent unfortunate automobile accidents caused by drowsiness.
