A novel method using bionic mastication system based on a pressure sensor was developed to predict beef tenderness with convenience, stability and high accuracy. What's more, this method can be applied to detect other meat tenderness such as those of chicken and pork as well, which indicates a universality of this method.

According to the characteristics of interferogram, we design a new spike detection method, which firstly filters an interferogram with two different ways and then detects spikes based on both results. Theoretical analysis and computer simulation shows that this algorithm performs well in detecting spikes in any position of an interferogram with high accuracy, and can be easily implemented in hardware.

Health monitoring of concrete including, detecting defects such as cracking, spalling on fire affected concrete structures plays a vital role in the maintenance of reinforced cement concrete structures. However, this process mostly uses human inspection and relies on subjective knowledge of the inspectors. To overcome this limitation, a deep learning based automatic crack detection method is proposed. Deep learning is a vibrant strategy under computer vision field. The proposed method consists of U-Net architecture with an encoder and decoder framework. It performs pixel wise classification to detect the thermal cracks accurately. Binary Cross Entropy (BCA) based loss function is selected as the evaluation function. Trained U-Net is capable of detecting major thermal cracks and minor thermal cracks under various heating durations. The proposed, U-Net crack detection is a novel method which can be used to detect the thermal cracks developed on fire exposed concrete structures. The proposed method is compared with the other state-of-the-art methods and found to be accurate with 78.12% Intersection over Union (IoU).

This paper describes a novel method for measuring fiber orientations in nonwoven web images by using Bézier fitting curves to detect corners of fiber edges and to separate crossing fiber edges. First, the Canny detector was adopted to extract fiber edges. Second, Bézier curve fitting was used to fit each fiber edge for calculating the curvature of every point on the edge. Third, corner points were detected by locating points where the curvatures were minimal on various edges and below the threshold to divide edges into segments for orientation calculations. Last, a formula calculating the fiber orientation statistics based on the Euclidean distance was established. The experiment results demonstrated that the proposed method is robust for analyzing different nonwoven web images, and has a high accuracy for corner detection and fiber orientation calculation.

High Accuracy Driving Maps (HADMs) are the core component of Intelligent Drive Assistant Systems (IDAS), which can effectively reduce the traffic accidents due to human error and provide more comfortable driving experiences. Vehicle-based mobile laser scanning (MLS) systems provide an efficient solution to rapidly capture three-dimensional (3D) point clouds of road environments with high flexibility and precision. This paper proposes a novel method to extract road features (e.g., road surfaces, road boundaries, road markings, buildings, guardrails, street lamps, traffic signs, roadside-trees, power lines, vehicles and so on) for HADMs in highway environment. Quantitative evaluations show that the proposed algorithm attains an average precision and recall in terms of 90.6% and 91.2% in extracting road features. Results demonstrate the efficiencies and feasibilities of the proposed method for extraction of road features for HADMs.
