This paper proposes two deep learning methods for remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of bearings. The methods have the advantageous end-to-end property that they take raw data as input and generate the predicted RUL directly. They are TSMC-CNN, which stands for the time series multiple channel convolutional neural network, and TSMC-CNN-ALSTM, which stands for the TSMC-CNN integrated with the attention-based long short-term memory (ALSTM) network. The proposed methods divide a time series into multiple channels and take advantage of the convolutional neural network (CNN), the long short-term memory (LSTM) network, and the attention-based mechanism for boosting performance. The CNN performs well for extracting features from data with multiple channels; dividing a time series into multiple channels helps the CNN extract relationship among far-apart data points. The LSTM network is excellent for processing temporal data; the attention-based mechanism allows the LSTM network to focus on different features at different time steps for better prediction accuracy. PRONOSTIA bearing operation datasets are applied to the proposed methods for the purpose of performance evaluation and comparison. The comparison results show that the proposed methods outperform the others in terms of the mean absolute error (MAE) and the root mean squared error (RMSE) of RUL prediction.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR), as a non-invasive instrument, has been widely used in the civil field. The interpretation of GPR data plays a vital role in underground infrastructures to transfer raw data to the interested information, such as diameter. However, the diameter identification of objects in GPR B-scans is a tedious and labor-intensive task, which limits the further application in the field environment. The paper proposes a deep learning-based scheme to solve the issue. First, an adaptive target region detection (ATRD) algorithm is proposed to extract the regions from B-scans that contain hyperbolic signatures. Then, a Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) framework is developed that integrates Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to extract hyperbola region features. It transfers the task of diameter identification into a task of hyperbola region classification. Experimental results conducted on both simulated and field datasets demonstrate that the proposed scheme has a promising performance for diameter identification. The CNN-LSTM framework achieves an accuracy of 99.5% on simulated datasets and 92.5% on field datasets.

Electromyogram (EMG) signals cannot be forged and have the advantage of being able to change the registered data as they are characterized by the waveform, which varies depending on the gesture. In this paper, a two-step biometrics method was proposed using EMG signals based on a convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) network. After preprocessing of the EMG signals, the time domain features and LSTM network were used to examine whether the gesture matched, and single biometrics was performed if the gesture matched. In single biometrics, EMG signals were converted into a two-dimensional spectrogram, and training and classification were performed through the CNN-LSTM network. Data fusion of the gesture recognition and single biometrics was performed in the form of an AND. The experiment used Ninapro EMG signal data as the proposed two-step biometrics method, and the results showed 83.91% gesture recognition performance and 99.17% single biometrics performance. In addition, the false acceptance rate (FAR) was observed to have been reduced by 64.7% through data fusion.

Weather is affected by a complex interplay of factors, including topography, location, and time. For the prediction of temperature in Korea, it is necessary to use data from multiple regions. To this end, we investigate the use of deep neural-network-based temperature prediction model time-series weather data obtained from an automatic weather station and image data from a regional data assimilation and prediction system (RDAPS). To accommodate such different types of data into a single model, a bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) model and a convolutional neural network (CNN) model are chosen to represent the features from the time-series observed data and the RDAPS image data. The two types of features are combined to produce temperature predictions for up to 14 days in the future. The performance of the proposed temperature prediction model is evaluated by objective measures, including the root mean squared error and mean bias error. The experiments demonstrated that the proposed model combining both the observed and RDAPS image data is better in all performance measures for all prediction periods compared with the BLSTM-based model using observed data and the CNN-BLSTM-based model using RDAPS image data alone.

In order to solve the problems of high data dimension and insufficient consideration of time series correlation information, a multi-scale deep convolutional neural network and long-short-term memory (MSDCNN-LSTM) hybrid model is proposed for remaining useful life (RUL) of equipments. First, the sensor data is processed through normalization and sliding time window to obtain input samples; then multi-scale deep convolutional neural network (MSDCNN) is used to capture detailed spatial features, at the same time, time-dependent features are extracted for effective prediction combining with long short-term memory (LSTM). Experiments on simulation dataset of commercial modular aero-propulsion system show that, compared with other state-of-the-art methods, the prediction method proposed in this paper has achieved better RUL prediction results, especially for the prediction of the life of equipment with complex failure modes and operating conditions. The effect is obvious. It can be seen that the prediction method proposed in this paper is feasible and effective.

In this paper, we address various challenges in multi-pedestrian and vehicle tracking in high-resolution aerial imagery by intensive evaluation of a number of traditional and Deep Learning based Single- and Multi-Object Tracking methods. We also describe our proposed Deep Learning based Multi-Object Tracking method AerialMPTNet that fuses appearance, temporal, and graphical information using a Siamese Neural Network, a Long Short-Term Memory, and a Graph Convolutional Neural Network module for more accurate and stable tracking. Moreover, we investigate the influence of the Squeeze-and-Excitation layers and Online Hard Example Mining on the performance of AerialMPTNet. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to use these two for regression-based Multi-Object Tracking. Additionally, we studied and compared the L1 and Huber loss functions. In our experiments, we extensively evaluate AerialMPTNet on three aerial Multi-Object Tracking datasets, namely AerialMPT and KIT AIS pedestrian and vehicle datasets. Qualitative and quantitative results show that AerialMPTNet outperforms all previous methods for the pedestrian datasets and achieves competitive results for the vehicle dataset. In addition, Long Short-Term Memory and Graph Convolutional Neural Network modules enhance the tracking performance. Moreover, using Squeeze-and-Excitation and Online Hard Example Mining significantly helps for some cases while degrades the results for other cases. In addition, according to the results, L1 yields better results with respect to Huber loss for most of the scenarios. The presented results provide a deep insight into challenges and opportunities of the aerial Multi-Object Tracking domain, paving the way for future research.
