Drones are becoming increasingly popular not only for recreational purposes but in day-to-day applications in engineering, medicine, logistics, security and others. In addition to their useful applications, an alarming concern in regard to the physical infrastructure security, safety and privacy has arisen due to the potential of their use in malicious activities. To address this problem, we propose a novel solution that automates the drone detection and identification processes using a drone’s acoustic features with different deep learning algorithms. However, the lack of acoustic drone datasets hinders the ability to implement an effective solution. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap by introducing a hybrid drone acoustic dataset composed of recorded drone audio clips and artificially generated drone audio samples using a state-of-the-art deep learning technique known as the Generative Adversarial Network. Furthermore, we examine the effectiveness of using drone audio with different deep learning algorithms, namely, the Convolutional Neural Network, the Recurrent Neural Network and the Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network in drone detection and identification. Moreover, we investigate the impact of our proposed hybrid dataset in drone detection. Our findings prove the advantage of using deep learning techniques for drone detection and identification while confirming our hypothesis on the benefits of using the Generative Adversarial Networks to generate real-like drone audio clips with an aim of enhancing the detection of new and unfamiliar drones.

In recent years, different deep learning techniques were applied to segment aerial and satellite images. Nevertheless, state of the art techniques for land cover segmentation does not provide accurate results to be used in real applications. This is a problem faced by institutions and companies that want to replace time-consuming and exhausting human work with AI technology. In this work, we propose a method that combines deep learning with a human-in-the-loop strategy to achieve expert-level results at a low cost. We use a neural network to segment the images. In parallel, another network is used to measure uncertainty for predicted pixels. Finally, we combine these neural networks with a human-in-the-loop approach to produce correct predictions as if developed by human photointerpreters. Applying this methodology shows that we can increase the accuracy of land cover segmentation tasks while decreasing human intervention.

Public shaming on social media platforms like Twitter / Instagram / Facebook etc. have recently increased from the past years. This results in affecting an individual’s social, political, mental and financial life. The impact can range from mild bullying to severe depression. With the growing leniency on these social platforms, many people have started misusing the opportunity by turning to online bullying and hate speech. When something is posted online, it stays there forever and it becomes extremely hard taking something out of the digital world. Manually locating and categorizing such comments is a lengthy procedure and just cannot be relied upon. To solve this challenge, automation was performed to identify and classify the shamers. This has been done using the classic SVM model which worked on a given quantity of data. To identify the negative content being posted and discussed online, this paper further explores the deep learning system which can successfully classify these content pieces into proper labels. The text-based Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is the proposed model in this paper for this analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the use of different machine learning approaches and algorithms to be integrated as an automated assistance on a tool to aid the creation of new annotated datasets. We evaluate how they scale in an environment without dedicated machine learning hardware. In particular, we study the impact over a dataset with few examples and one that is being constructed. We experiment using deep learning algorithms (Bert) and classical learning algorithms with a lower computational cost (W2V and Glove combined with RF and SVM). Our experiments show that deep learning algorithms have a performance advantage over classical techniques. However, deep learning algorithms have a high computational cost, making them inadequate to an environment with reduced hardware resources. Simulations using Active and Iterative machine learning techniques to assist the creation of new datasets are conducted. For these simulations, we use the classical learning algorithms because of their computational cost. The knowledge gathered with our experimental evaluation aims to support the creation of a tool for building new text datasets.

Coastal ecosystems are critically affected by seagrass, both economically and ecologically. However, reliable seagrass distribution information is lacking in nearly all parts of the world because of the excessive costs associated with its assessment. In this paper, we develop two deep learning models for automatic seagrass distribution quantification based on 8-band satellite imagery. Specifically, we implemented a deep capsule network (DCN) and a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to assess seagrass distribution through regression. The DCN model first determines whether seagrass is presented in the image through classification. Second, if seagrass is presented in the image, it quantifies the seagrass through regression. During training, the regression and classification modules are jointly optimized to achieve end-to-end learning. The CNN model is strictly trained for regression in seagrass and non-seagrass patches. In addition, we propose a transfer learning approach to transfer knowledge in the trained deep models at one location to perform seagrass quantification at a different location. We evaluate the proposed methods in three WorldView-2 satellite images taken from the coastal area in Florida. Experimental results show that the proposed deep DCN and CNN models performed similarly and achieved much better results than a linear regression model and a support vector machine. We also demonstrate that using transfer learning techniques for the quantification of seagrass significantly improved the results as compared to directly applying the deep models to new locations.

In recent years, numerous deep learning techniques have been proposed to tackle the semantic segmentation of aerial and satellite images, increase trust in the leaderboards of main scientific contests and represent the current state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, despite their promising results, these state-of-the-art techniques are still unable to provide results with the level of accuracy sought in real applications, i.e., in operational settings. Thus, it is mandatory to qualify these segmentation results and estimate the uncertainty brought about by a deep network. In this work, we address uncertainty estimations in semantic segmentation. To do this, we relied on a Bayesian deep learning method, based on Monte Carlo Dropout, which allows us to derive uncertainty metrics along with the semantic segmentation. Built on the most widespread U-Net architecture, our model achieves semantic segmentation with high accuracy on several state-of-the-art datasets. More importantly, uncertainty maps are also derived from our model. While they allow for the performance of a sounder qualitative evaluation of the segmentation results, they also include valuable information to improve the reference databases.

Deep learning models can achieve more accuracy sometimes that exceed human-level performance. It is crucial for safety-critical applications such as driverless cars, aerospace, defence, medical research, and industrial automation. Most of the deep learning methods mimic the neural network. It has many hidden layers and creates patterns for decision making and it is a subset of machine learning that performs end-to-end learning and has the capability to learn unsupervised data and also provides very flexible, learnable framework for representing the visual and linguistic information. Deep learning has greatly changed the way and computing devices processes human-centric content such as speech, image recognition, and natural language processing. Deep learning plays a major role in IoT-related services. The amalgamation of deep learning to the IoT environment makes the complex sensing and recognition tasks easier. It helps to automatically identify patterns and detect anomalies that are generated by IoT devices. This chapter discusses the impact of deep learning in the IoT environment.
