Physical And Mental Health

Opium poppies are a major source of traditional drugs, which are not only harmful to physical and mental health, but also threaten the economy and society. Monitoring poppy cultivation in key regions through remote sensing is therefore a crucial task; the location coordinates of poppy parcels represent particularly important information for their eradication by local governments. We propose a new methodology based on deep learning target detection to identify the location of poppy parcels and map their spatial distribution. We first make six training datasets with different band combinations and slide window sizes using two ZiYuan3 (ZY3) remote sensing images and separately train the single shot multibox detector (SSD) model. Then, we choose the best model and test its performance using 225 km2 verification images from Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), which exhibits a precision of 95% for a recall of 85%. The speed of our method is 4.5 km2/s on 1080TI Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This study is the first attempt to monitor opium poppies with the deep learning method and achieve a high recognition rate. Our method does not require manual feature extraction and provides an alternative way to rapidly obtain the exact location coordinates of opium poppy cultivation patches.

Compared with traditional seismic noise attenuation algorithms that depend on signal models and their corresponding prior assumptions, removing noise with a deep neural network is trained based on a large training set in which the inputs are the raw data sets and the corresponding outputs are the desired clean data. After the completion of training, the deep-learning (DL) method achieves adaptive denoising with no requirements of (1) accurate modelings of the signal and noise or (2) optimal parameters tuning. We call this intelligent denoising. We have used a convolutional neural network (CNN) as the basic tool for DL. In random and linear noise attenuation, the training set is generated with artificially added noise. In the multiple attenuation step, the training set is generated with the acoustic wave equation. The stochastic gradient descent is used to solve the optimal parameters for the CNN. The runtime of DL on a graphics processing unit for denoising has the same order as the [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] deconvolution method. Synthetic and field results indicate the potential applications of DL in automatic attenuation of random noise (with unknown variance), linear noise, and multiples.

Fluorescent probes can be used to detect various types of asbestos (serpentine and amphibole groups); however, the fiber counting using our previously developed software was not accurate for samples with low fiber concentration. Machine learning-based techniques (e.g., deep learning) for image analysis, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), have been widely applied to many areas. The objectives of this study were to (1) create a database of a wide-range asbestos concentration (0–50 fibers/liter) fluorescence microscopy (FM) images in the laboratory; and (2) determine the applicability of the state-of-the-art object detection CNN model, YOLOv4, to accurately detect asbestos. We captured the fluorescence microscopy images containing asbestos and labeled the individual asbestos in the images. We trained the YOLOv4 model with the labeled images using one GTX 1660 Ti Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Our results demonstrated the exceptional capacity of the YOLOv4 model to learn the fluorescent asbestos morphologies. The mean average precision at a threshold of 0.5 ([email protected]) was 96.1% ± 0.4%, using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) fiber counting Method 7400 as a reference method. Compared to our previous counting software (Intec/HU), the YOLOv4 achieved higher accuracy (0.997 vs. 0.979), particularly much higher precision (0.898 vs. 0.418), recall (0.898 vs. 0.780) and F-1 score (0.898 vs. 0.544). In addition, the YOLOv4 performed much better for low fiber concentration samples (<15 fibers/liter) compared to Intec/HU. Therefore, the FM method coupled with YOLOv4 is remarkable in detecting asbestos fibers and differentiating them from other non-asbestos particles.

Tailings Ponds

The timely and accurate mapping and monitoring of mine tailings dams is crucial to the improvement of management practices by decision makers and to the prevention of disasters caused by failures of these dams. Due to the complex topography, varying geomorphological characteristics, and the diversity of ore types and mining activities, as well as the range of scales and production processes involved, as they appear in remote sensing imagery, tailings dams vary in terms of their scale, color, shape, and surrounding background. The application of high-resolution satellite imagery for automatic detection of tailings dams at large spatial scales has been barely reported. In this study, a target detection method based on deep learning was developed for identifying the locations of tailings ponds and obtaining their geographical distribution from high-resolution satellite imagery automatically. Training samples were produced based on the characteristics of tailings ponds in satellite images. According to the sample characteristics, the Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) model was fine-tuned during model training. The results showed that a detection accuracy of 90.2% and a recall rate of 88.7% could be obtained. Based on the optimized SSD model, 2221 tailing ponds were extracted from Gaofen-1 high resolution imagery in the Jing–Jin–Ji region in northern China. In this region, the majority of tailings ponds are located at high altitudes in remote mountainous areas. At the city level, the tailings ponds were found to be located mainly in Chengde, Tangshan, and Zhangjiakou. The results prove that the deep learning method is very effective at detecting complex land-cover features from remote sensing images.

Remote Sensing Images

Over the last decade, remote sensing technology has advanced dramatically, resulting in significant improvements on image quality, data volume, and application usage. These images have essential applications since they can help with quick and easy interpretation. Many standard detection algorithms fail to accurately categorize a scene from a remote sensing image recorded from the earth. A method that uses bilinear convolution neural networks to produce a lessweighted set of models those results in better visual recognition in remote sensing images using fine-grained techniques. This proposed hybrid method is utilized to extract scene feature information in two times from remote sensing images for improved recognition. In layman's terms, these features are defined as raw, and only have a single defined frame, so they will allow basic recognition from remote sensing images. This research work has proposed a double feature extraction hybrid deep learning approach to classify remotely sensed image scenes based on feature abstraction techniques. Also, the proposed algorithm is applied to feature values in order to convert them to feature vectors that have pure black and white values after many product operations. The next stage is pooling and normalization, which occurs after the CNN feature extraction process has changed. This research work has developed a novel hybrid framework method that has a better level of accuracy and recognition rate than any prior model.

AbstractOne of the most popular techniques in zebrafish research is microinjection, as it is a rapid and efficient way to genetically manipulate early developing embryos, and to introduce microbes or tracers at larval stages.Here we demonstrate the development of a machine learning software that allows for microinjection at a trained target site in zebrafish eggs at unprecedented speed. The software is based on the open-source deep-learning library Inception v3.In a first step, the software distinguishes wells containing embryos at one-cell stage from wells to be skipped with an accuracy of 93%. A second step was developed to pinpoint the injection site. Deep learning allows to predict this location on average within 42 µm to manually annotated sites. Using a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), both steps together take less than 100 milliseconds. We first tested our system by injecting a morpholino into the middle of the yolk and found that the automated injection efficiency is as efficient as manual injection (~ 80%). Next, we tested both CRISPR/Cas9 and DNA construct injections into the zygote and obtained a comparable efficiency to that of an experienced experimentalist. Combined with a higher throughput, this results in a higher yield. Hence, the automated injection of CRISPR/Cas9 will allow high-throughput applications to knock out and knock in relevant genes to study their mechanisms or pathways of interest in diverse areas of biomedical research.

Smuggling of drugs and cigarettes in small inflatable boats across border rivers is a serious threat to the EU’s financial interests. Early detection of such threats is challenging due to difficult and changing environmental conditions. This study reports on the automatic detection of small inflatable boats and people in a rough wild terrain in the infrared thermal domain. Three acquisition campaigns were carried out during spring, summer, and fall under various weather conditions. Three deep learning algorithms, namely, YOLOv2, YOLOv3, and Faster R-CNN working with six different feature extraction neural networks were trained and evaluated in terms of performance and processing time. The best performance was achieved with Faster R-CNN with ResNet101, however, processing requires a long time and a powerful graphics processing unit.
