Background subtraction plays a fundamental role for anomaly detection in video surveillance, which is able to tell where moving objects are in the video scene. Regrettably, the regular rotating pumping unit is treated as an abnormal object by the background-subtraction method in pumping-unit surveillance. As an excellent classifier, a deep convolutional neural network is able to tell what those objects are. Therefore, we combined background subtraction and a convolutional neural network to perform anomaly detection for pumping-unit surveillance. In the proposed method, background subtraction was applied to first extract moving objects. Then, a clustering method was adopted for extracting different object types that had more movement-foreground objects but fewer typical targets. Finally, nonpumping unit objects were identified as abnormal objects by the trained classification network. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can detect abnormal objects in a pumping-unit scene with high accuracy.

Traditional gun archiving methods are mostly carried out through bullets’ physics or photography, which are inefficient and difficult to trace, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale archiving. Aiming at such problems, a rapid archival technology of bullets based on graph convolutional neural network has been studied and developed. First, the spot laser is used to take the circle points of the bullet rifling traces. The obtained data is filtered and noise-reduced to make the corresponding line graph, and then the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm convolutional neural network model is used to perform the processing on the processed data. Not only is similarity matched, the rapid matching of the rifling of the bullet is also accomplished. Comparison of experimental results shows that this technology has the advantages of rapid archiving and high accuracy. Furthermore, it can be carried out in large numbers at the same time, and is more suitable for practical promotion and application.

In this paper, we present a case study on approximate multipliers for MNIST Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). We apply approximate multipliers with different bit-width to the convolution layer in MNIST CNN, evaluate the accuracy of MNIST classification, and analyze the trade-off between approximate multiplier’s area, critical path delay and the accuracy. Based on the results of the evaluation and analysis, we propose a design methodology for approximate multipliers. The approximate multipliers consist of some partial products, which are carefully selected according to the CNN input. With this methodology, we further reduce the area and the delay of the multipliers with keeping high accuracy of the MNIST classification.

In this paper, the structure of a separable convolutional neural network that consists of an embedding layer, separable convolutional layers, convolutional layer and global average pooling is represented for binary and multiclass text classifications. The advantage of the proposed structure is the absence of multiple fully connected layers, which is used to increase the classification accuracy but raises the computational cost. The combination of low-cost separable convolutional layers and a convolutional layer is proposed to gain high accuracy and, simultaneously, to reduce the complexity of neural classifiers. Advantages are demonstrated at binary and multiclass classifications of written texts by means of the proposed networks under the sigmoid and Softmax activation functions in convolutional layer. At binary and multiclass classifications, the accuracy obtained by separable convolutional neural networks is higher in comparison with some investigated types of recurrent neural networks and fully connected networks.

Grasp detection based on convolutional neural network has gained some achievements. However, overfitting of multilayer convolutional neural network still exists and leads to poor detection precision. To acquire high detection accuracy, a single target grasp detection network that generalizes the fitting of angle and position, based on the convolution neural network, is put forward here. The proposed network regards the image as input and grasping parameters including angle and position as output, with the detection manner of end-to-end. Particularly, preprocessing dataset is to achieve the full coverage to input of model and transfer learning is to avoid overfitting of network. Importantly, a series of experimental results indicate that, for single object grasping, our network has good detection results and high accuracy, which proves that the proposed network has strong generalization in direction and category.

A melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer, so early diagnosis can provide a positive prognosis for treatment. Modern methods for early detecting melanoma on the image of the tumor are considered, and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The article demonstrates a prototype of a mobile application for the detection of melanoma on the image of a mole based on a convolutional neural network, which is developed for the Android operating system. The mobile application contains melanoma detection functions, history of the previous examinations and a gallery with images of the previous examinations grouped by the location of the lesion. The HAM10000-based training dataset has been supplemented with the images of melanoma from the archive of The International Skin Imaging Collaboration to eliminate class imbalances and improve network accuracy. The search for existing neural networks that provide high accuracy was conducted, and VGG16, MobileNet, and NASNetMobile neural networks have been selected for research. Transfer learning and fine-tuning has been applied to the given neural networks to adapt the networks for the task of skin lesion classification. It is established that the use of these techniques allows to obtain high accuracy of the neural network for this task. The process of converting a convolutional neural network to an optimized Flatbuffer format using TensorFlow Lite for placement and use on a mobile device is described. The performance characteristics of the selected neural networks on the mobile device are evaluated according to the classification time on the CPU and GPU and the amount of memory occupied by the file of a single network is compared. The neural network file size was compared before and after conversion. It has been shown that the use of the TensorFlow Lite converter significantly reduces the file size of the neural network without affecting its accuracy by using an optimized format. The results of the study indicate a high speed of application and compactness of networks on the device, and the use of graphical acceleration can significantly decrease the image classification time of the tumor. According to the analyzed parameters, NASNetMobile was selected as the optimal neural network to be used in the mobile application of melanoma detection.

Creating intelligent systems capable of recognizing emotions is a difficult task, especially when looking at emotions in animals. This paper describes the process of designing a “proof of concept” system to recognize emotions in horses. This system is formed by two elements, a detector and a model. The detector is a fast region-based convolutional neural network that detects horses in an image. The model is a convolutional neural network that predicts the emotions of those horses. These two elements were trained with multiple images of horses until they achieved high accuracy in their tasks. In total, 400 images of horses were collected and labeled to train both the detector and the model while 40 were used to test the system. Once the two components were validated, they were combined into a testable system that would detect equine emotions based on established behavioral ethograms indicating emotional affect through the head, neck, ear, muzzle, and eye position. The system showed an accuracy of 80% on the validation set and 65% on the test set, demonstrating that it is possible to predict emotions in animals using autonomous intelligent systems. Such a system has multiple applications including further studies in the growing field of animal emotions as well as in the veterinary field to determine the physical welfare of horses or other livestock.
