Autonomous landing of rotary wing type unmanned aerial vehicles is a challenging problem and key to autonomous aerial fleet operation. We propose a method for localizing the UAV around the helipad, that is to estimate the relative position of the helipad with respect to the UAV. This data is highly desirable to design controllers that have robust and consistent control characteristics and can find applications in search – rescue operations. AI-based neural network is set up for helipad detection, followed by optimization by the localization algorithm. The performance of this approach is compared against fiducial marker approach, demonstrating good consensus between two estimations

This study aimed to propose an approach for orchard trees segmentation using aerial images based on a deep learning convolutional neural network variant, namely the U-net network. The purpose was the automated detection and localization of the canopy of orchard trees under various conditions (i.e., different seasons, different tree ages, different levels of weed coverage). The implemented dataset was composed of images from three different walnut orchards. The achieved variability of the dataset resulted in obtaining images that fell under seven different use cases. The best-trained model achieved 91%, 90%, and 87% accuracy for training, validation, and testing, respectively. The trained model was also tested on never-before-seen orthomosaic images or orchards based on two methods (oversampling and undersampling) in order to tackle issues with out-of-the-field boundary transparent pixels from the image. Even though the training dataset did not contain orthomosaic images, it achieved performance levels that reached up to 99%, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes a customized convolutional neural network for crack detection in concrete structures. The proposed method is compared to four existing deep learning methods based on training data size, data heterogeneity, network complexity, and the number of epochs. The performance of the proposed convolutional neural network (CNN) model is evaluated and compared to pretrained networks, i.e., the VGG-16, VGG-19, ResNet-50, and Inception V3 models, on eight datasets of different sizes, created from two public datasets. For each model, the evaluation considered computational time, crack localization results, and classification measures, e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Experimental results demonstrated that training data size and heterogeneity among data samples significantly affect model performance. All models demonstrated promising performance on a limited number of diverse training data; however, increasing the training data size and reducing diversity reduced generalization performance, and led to overfitting. The proposed customized CNN and VGG-16 models outperformed the other methods in terms of classification, localization, and computational time on a small amount of data, and the results indicate that these two models demonstrate superior crack detection and localization for concrete structures.

The problem of forged images has become a global phenomenon that is spreading mainly through social media. New technologies have provided both the means and the support for this phenomenon, but they are also enabling a targeted response to overcome it. Deep convolution learning algorithms are one such solution. These have been shown to be highly effective in dealing with image forgery derived from generative adversarial networks (GANs). In this type of algorithm, the image is altered such that it appears identical to the original image and is nearly undetectable to the unaided human eye as a forgery. The present paper investigates copy-move forgery detection using a fusion processing model comprising a deep convolutional model and an adversarial model. Four datasets are used. Our results indicate a significantly high detection accuracy performance (~95%) exhibited by the deep learning CNN and discriminator forgery detectors. Consequently, an end-to-end trainable deep neural network approach to forgery detection appears to be the optimal strategy. The network is developed based on two-branch architecture and a fusion module. The two branches are used to localize and identify copy-move forgery regions through CNN and GAN.
