Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is the main method used to monitor the energy footprint of a residential building and disaggregate total electrical usage into appliance-related signals. The most common disaggregation algorithms are based on the Hidden Markov Model, while solutions based on deep neural networks have recently caught the attention of researchers. In this work we address the problem through the recognition of the state of activation of the appliances using a fully convolutional deep neural network, borrowing some techniques used in the semantic segmentation of images and multilabel classification. This approach has allowed obtaining high performances not only in the recognition of the activation state of the domestic appliances but also in the estimation of their consumptions, improving the state of the art for a reference dataset.

Operational Load Monitoring consists of the real-time reading and recording of the number and level of strains and stresses during load cycles withstood by a structure in its normal operating environment, in order to make more reliable predictions about its remaining lifetime in service. This is particularly important in aeronautical and aerospace industries, where it is very relevant to extend the components useful life without compromising flight safety. Sensors, like strain gauges, should be mounted on points of the structure where highest strains or stresses are expected. However, if the structure in its normal operating environment is subjected to variable exciting forces acting in different points over time, the number of places where data will have be acquired largely increases. The main idea presented in this paper is that instead of mounting a high number of sensors, an artificial neural network can be trained on the base of finite element simulations in order to estimate the state of the structure in its most stressed points based on data acquired just by a few sensors. The model should also be validated using experimental data to confirm proper predictions of the artificial neural network. An example with an omega-stiffened composite structural panel (a typical part used in aerospace applications) is provided. Artificial neural network was trained using a high-accuracy finite element model of the structure to process data from six strain gauges and return information about the state of the panel during different load cases. The trained neural network was tested in an experimental stand and the measurements confirmed the usefulness of presented approach.

This paper considers a model of the neural network for semantically segmenting the images of monitored objects on aerial photographs. Unmanned aerial vehicles monitor objects by analyzing (processing) aerial photographs and video streams. The results of aerial photography are processed by the operator in a manual mode; however, there are objective difficulties associated with the operator's handling a large number of aerial photographs, which is why it is advisable to automate this process. Analysis of the models showed that to perform the task of semantic segmentation of images of monitored objects on aerial photographs, the U-Net model (Germany), which is a convolutional neural network, is most suitable as a basic model. This model has been improved by using a wavelet layer and the optimal values of the model training parameters: speed (step) ‒ 0.001, the number of epochs ‒ 60, the optimization algorithm ‒ Adam. The training was conducted by a set of segmented images acquired from aerial photographs (with a resolution of 6,000×4,000 pixels) by the Image Labeler software in the mathematical programming environment MATLAB R2020b (USA). As a result, a new model for semantically segmenting the images of monitored objects on aerial photographs with the proposed name U-NetWavelet was built. The effectiveness of the improved model was investigated using an example of processing 80 aerial photographs. The accuracy, sensitivity, and segmentation error were selected as the main indicators of the model's efficiency. The use of a modified wavelet layer has made it possible to adapt the size of an aerial photograph to the parameters of the input layer of the neural network, to improve the efficiency of image segmentation in aerial photographs; the application of a convolutional neural network has allowed this process to be automatic.

Segmentation Of Images

Semantic segmentation is one of the important ways of extracting information about objects in images. State of the art neural network algorithms allow to perform highly accurate semantic segmentation of images, including aerial photos. However, in most of the works authors use high-quality low-noise images. In this work, we study the ability of neural networks to correctly segment images with intensive uncorrelated Gaussian noise. The study brings us three main conclusions. Firstly, it demonstrates that neural network algorithms are capable of working with extreme image distortions without using additional filtration or image recovery techniques. Secondly, the experiments quantitatively show that distortion intensity can be negated with increased training set size. Such process is similar to model’s quality improvement and generalization due to training dataset enlargement. Finally, we quantitatively demonstrate how image aggregation techniques affect training with noised data.

<p>Atomic and molecular properties could be evaluated from the fundamental Schrodinger’s equation and therefore represent different modalities of the same quantum phenomena. Here we present AIMNet, a modular and chemically inspired deep neural network potential. We used AIMNet with multitarget training to learn multiple modalities of the state of the atom in a molecular system. The resulting model shows on several benchmark datasets the state-of-the-art accuracy, comparable to the results of orders of magnitude more expensive DFT methods. It can simultaneously predict several atomic and molecular properties without an increase in computational cost. With AIMNet we show a new dimension of transferability: the ability to learn new targets utilizing multimodal information from previous training. The model can learn implicit solvation energy (like SMD) utilizing only a fraction of original training data, and archive MAD error of 1.1 kcal/mol compared to experimental solvation free energies in MNSol database.</p>

In recent years, Channel State Information (CSI) measured by WiFi is widely used for human activity recognition. In this article, we propose a deep learning design for location- and person-independent activity recognition with WiFi. The proposed design consists of three Deep Neural Networks (DNNs): a 2D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as the recognition algorithm, a 1D CNN as the state machine, and a reinforcement learning agent for neural architecture search. The recognition algorithm learns location- and person-independent features from different perspectives of CSI data. The state machine learns temporal dependency information from history classification results. The reinforcement learning agent optimizes the neural architecture of the recognition algorithm using a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The proposed design is evaluated in a lab environment with different WiFi device locations, antenna orientations, sitting/standing/walking locations/orientations, and multiple persons. The proposed design has 97% average accuracy when testing devices and persons are not seen during training. The proposed design is also evaluated by two public datasets with accuracy of 80% and 83%. The proposed design needs very little human efforts for ground truth labeling, feature engineering, signal processing, and tuning of learning parameters and hyperparameters.

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.

AbstractIn recent years, the success of deep learning in natural scene image processing boosted its application in the analysis of remote sensing images. In this paper, we applied Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on the semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. We improve the Encoder- Decoder CNN structure SegNet with index pooling and U-net to make them suitable for multi-targets semantic segmentation of remote sensing images. The results show that these two models have their own advantages and disadvantages on the segmentation of different objects. In addition, we propose an integrated algorithm that integrates these two models. Experimental results show that the presented integrated algorithm can exploite the advantages of both the models for multi-target segmentation and achieve a better segmentation compared to these two models.
