Bolted connections are widely used in timber structures. Bolt looseness is one of the most important factors leading to structural failure. At present, most of the detection methods for bolt looseness do not achieve a good balance between cost and accuracy. In this paper, the detection method of small angle of bolt loosening in a timber structure is studied using deep learning and machine vision technology. Firstly, three schemes are designed, and the recognition targets are the nut’s own specification number, rectangular mark, and circular mark, respectively. The Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) algorithm is adopted to train the image datasets. The scheme with the smallest identification angle error is the one identifying round objects, of which the identification angle error is 0.38°. Then, the identification accuracy was further improved, and the minimum recognition angle reached 1°. Finally, the looseness in a four-bolted connection and an eight-bolted connection are tested, confirming the feasibility of this method when applied on multi-bolted connection, and realizing a low operating costing and high accuracy.

Cumulative Error

In the positioning process of a high-speed train, cumulative error may result in a reduction in the positioning accuracy. The assisted positioning technology based on kilometer posts can be used as an effective method to correct the cumulative error. However, the traditional detection method of kilometer posts is time-consuming and complex, which greatly affects the correction efficiency. Therefore, in this paper, a kilometer post detection model based on deep learning is proposed. Firstly, the Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN) algorithm is introduced to construct an effective kilometer post data set. This greatly reduces the cost of real data acquisition and provides a prerequisite for the construction of the detection model. Then, by using the existing optimization as a reference and further simplifying the design of the Single Shot multibox Detector (SSD) model according to the specific application scenario of this paper, the kilometer post detection model based on an improved SSD algorithm is established. Finally, from the analysis of the experimental results, we know that the detection model established in this paper ensures both detection accuracy and efficiency. The accuracy of our model reached 98.92%, while the detection time was only 35.43 ms. Thus, our model realizes the rapid and accurate detection of kilometer posts and improves the assisted positioning technology based on kilometer posts by optimizing the detection method.

Wild birds are monitored with the important objectives of identifying their habitats and estimating the size of their populations. Especially in the case of migratory bird, they are significantly recorded during specific periods of time to forecast any possible spread of animal disease such as avian influenza. This study led to the construction of deep-learning-based object-detection models with the aid of aerial photographs collected by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The dataset containing the aerial photographs includes diverse images of birds in various bird habitats and in the vicinity of lakes and on farmland. In addition, aerial images of bird decoys are captured to achieve various bird patterns and more accurate bird information. Bird detection models such as Faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN), Region-based Fully Convolutional Network (R-FCN), Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD), Retinanet, and You Only Look Once (YOLO) were created and the performance of all models was estimated by comparing their computing speed and average precision. The test results show Faster R-CNN to be the most accurate and YOLO to be the fastest among the models. The combined results demonstrate that the use of deep-learning-based detection methods in combination with UAV aerial imagery is fairly suitable for bird detection in various environments.

Content Information

The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused a huge shock for human society. As people experience the attack of the COVID-19 virus, they also are experiencing an information epidemic at the same time. Rumors about COVID-19 have caused severe panic and anxiety. Misinformation has even undermined epidemic prevention to some extent and exacerbated the epidemic. Social networks have allowed COVID-19 rumors to spread unchecked. Removing rumors could protect people’s health by reducing people’s anxiety and wrong behavior caused by the misinformation. Therefore, it is necessary to research COVID-19 rumor detection on social networks. Due to the development of deep learning, existing studies have proposed rumor detection methods from different perspectives. However, not all of these approaches could address COVID-19 rumor detection. COVID-19 rumors are more severe and profoundly influenced, and there are stricter time constraints on COVID-19 rumor detection. Therefore, this study proposed and verified the rumor detection method based on the content and user responses in limited time CR-LSTM-BE. The experimental results show that the performance of our approach is significantly improved compared with the existing baseline methods. User response information can effectively enhance COVID-19 rumor detection.

The detection of cherry tomatoes in greenhouse scene is of great significance for robotic harvesting. This paper states a method based on deep learning for cherry tomatoes detection to reduce the influence of illumination, growth difference, and occlusion. In view of such greenhouse operating environment and accuracy of deep learning, Single Shot multi-box Detector (SSD) was selected because of its excellent anti-interference ability and self-taught from datasets. The first step is to build datasets containing various conditions in greenhouse. According to the characteristics of cherry tomatoes, the image samples with illumination change, images rotation and noise enhancement were used to expand the datasets. Then training datasets were used to train and construct network model. To study the effect of base network and the input size of networks, one contrast experiment was designed on different base networks of VGG16, MobileNet, Inception V2 networks, and the other contrast experiment was conducted on changing the network input image size of 300 pixels by 300 pixels, 512 pixels by 512 pixels. Through the analysis of the experimental results, it is found that the Inception V2 network is the best base network with the average precision of 98.85% in greenhouse environment. Compared with other detection methods, this method shows substantial improvement in cherry tomatoes detection.

Sar Imagery

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery has been used as a promising data source for monitoring maritime activities, and its application for oil and ship detection has been the focus of many previous research studies. Many object detection methods ranging from traditional to deep learning approaches have been proposed. However, majority of them are computationally intensive and have accuracy problems. The huge volume of the remote sensing data also brings a challenge for real time object detection. To mitigate this problem a high performance computing (HPC) method has been proposed to accelerate SAR imagery analysis, utilizing the GPU based computing methods. In this paper, we propose an enhanced GPU based deep learning method to detect ship from the SAR images. The You Only Look Once version 2 (YOLOv2) deep learning framework is proposed to model the architecture and training the model. YOLOv2 is a state-of-the-art real-time object detection system, which outperforms Faster Region-Based Convolutional Network (Faster R-CNN) and Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) methods. Additionally, in order to reduce computational time with relatively competitive detection accuracy, we develop a new architecture with less number of layers called YOLOv2-reduced. In the experiment, we use two types of datasets: A SAR ship detection dataset (SSDD) dataset and a Diversified SAR Ship Detection Dataset (DSSDD). These two datasets were used for training and testing purposes. YOLOv2 test results showed an increase in accuracy of ship detection as well as a noticeable reduction in computational time compared to Faster R-CNN. From the experimental results, the proposed YOLOv2 architecture achieves an accuracy of 90.05% and 89.13% on the SSDD and DSSDD datasets respectively. The proposed YOLOv2-reduced architecture has a similarly competent detection performance as YOLOv2, but with less computational time on a NVIDIA TITAN X GPU. The experimental results shows that the deep learning can make a big leap forward in improving the performance of SAR image ship detection.

The rapid booming of future smart city applications and Internet of things (IoT) has raised higher demands on the next-generation radio access technologies with respect to connection density, spectral efficiency (SE), transmission accuracy, and detection latency. Recently, faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) and nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) have been regarded as promising technologies to achieve higher SE and massive connections, respectively. In this paper, we aim to exploit the joint benefits of FTN and NOMA by superimposing multiple FTN-based transmission signals on the same physical recourses. Considering the complicated intra- and interuser interferences introduced by the proposed transmission scheme, the conventional detection methods suffer from high computational complexity. To this end, we develop a novel sliding-window detection method by incorporating the state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) technology. The data-driven offline training is first applied to derive a near-optimal receiver for FTN-based NOMA, which is deployed online to achieve high detection accuracy as well as low latency. Monte Carlo simulation results validate that the proposed detector achieves higher detection accuracy than minimum mean squared error-frequency domain equalization (MMSE-FDE) and can even approach the performance of the maximum likelihood-based receiver with greatly reduced computational complexity, which is suitable for IoT applications in smart city with low latency and high reliability requirements.

We propose an object detection method that predicts the orientation bounding boxes (OBB) to estimate objects locations, scales and orientations based on YOLO (You Only Look Once), which is one of the top detection algorithms performing well both in accuracy and speed. Horizontal bounding boxes(HBB), which are not robust to orientation variances, are used in the existing object detection methods to detect targets. The proposed orientation invariant YOLO (OIYOLO) detector can effectively deal with the bird’s eye viewpoint images where the orientation angles of the objects are arbitrary. In order to estimate the rotated angle of objects, we design a new angle loss function. Therefore, the training of OIYOLO forces the network to learn the annotated orientation angle of objects, making OIYOLO orientation invariances. The proposed approach that predicts OBB can be applied in other detection frameworks. In additional, to evaluate the proposed OIYOLO detector, we create an UAV-DAHUA datasets that annotated with objects locations, scales and orientation angles accurately. Extensive experiments conducted on UAV-DAHUA and DOTA datasets demonstrate that OIYOLO achieves state-of-the-art detection performance with high efficiency comparing with the baseline YOLO algorithms.

This study uses hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and a deep learning diagnosis model that can identify the stage of esophageal cancer and mark the locations. This model simulates the spectrum data from the image using an algorithm developed in this study which is combined with deep learning for the classification and diagnosis of esophageal cancer using a single-shot multibox detector (SSD)-based identification system. Some 155 white-light endoscopic images and 153 narrow-band endoscopic images of esophageal cancer were used to evaluate the prediction model. The algorithm took 19 s to predict the results of 308 test images and the accuracy of the test results of the WLI and NBI esophageal cancer was 88 and 91%, respectively, when using the spectral data. Compared with RGB images, the accuracy of the WLI was 83% and the NBI was 86%. In this study, the accuracy of the WLI and NBI was increased by 5%, confirming that the prediction accuracy of the HSI detection method is significantly improved.

The limitations of remote sensing images and object detectors have been highlighted and discussed. The feasibility and limitations of these approaches will lead researchers to prudently select appropriate image enhancements.

Abstract Background: Plant phenotyping by deep learning has increased attention. The detection of wheat head in the field is an important mission for estimating the characteristics of wheat heads such as the density, health, maturity, and presence or absence of awns. Traditional wheat head detection methods have problems such as low efficiency, strong subjectivity, and poor accuracy. However, with the development of deep learning theory and the iteration of computer hardware, the accuracy of object detection method using deep neural networks has been greatly improved. Therefore, using a deep neural network method to detect wheat heads in images has a certain value. Results: In this paper, a method of wheat head detection based on deep neural network is proposed. Firstly, for improving the backbone network part, two SPP networks are introduced to enhance the ability of feature learning and increase the receptive field of the convolutional network. Secondly, the top-down and bottom-up feature fusion strategies are applied to obtain multi-level features. Finally, we use Yolov3's head structures to predict the bounding box of object. The results show that our proposed detection method for wheat head has higher accuracy and speed. The mean average precision of our method is 94.5%, and the detection speed of our proposed method is 88fps. Conclusion: The proposed deep neural network can accurately and quickly detector the wheat head in the image which is based on Yolov4. In addition, the training dataset is a wheat head dataset with accurate annotations and rich varieties, which makes the proposed method more robust and has a wide range of application values. The proposed detector is also more suitable for wheat detection task, with the deeper backbone networks. The use of spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) and multi-level features fusion, which all play a crucial role in improving detector performance. Our method provides beneficial help for the breeding of wheat
