Real-time automatic identification of audio distress signals in urban areas is a task that in a smart city can improve response times in emergency alert systems. The main challenge in this problem lies in finding a model that is able to accurately recognize these type of signals in the presence of background noise and allows for real-time processing. In this paper, we present the design of a portable and low-cost device for accurate audio distress signal recognition in real urban scenarios based on deep learning models. As real audio distress recordings in urban areas have not been collected and made publicly available so far, we first constructed a database where audios were recorded in urban areas using a low-cost microphone. Using this database, we trained a deep multi-headed 2D convolutional neural network that processed temporal and frequency features to accurately recognize audio distress signals in noisy environments with a significant performance improvement to other methods from the literature. Then, we deployed and assessed the trained convolutional neural network model on a Raspberry Pi that, along with the low-cost microphone, constituted a device for accurate real-time audio recognition. Source code and database are publicly available.

This Paper represents the face detection using advanced method deep neural network which uses deep learning frame work. The old models used to detect the faces were like Haar-cascade method which detect the faces with good approaches but there is some uncertainty in the accuracy of the old models, so in this system we will use the latest deep neural network model which is embedded with latest open cv and by using the deep learning model frame work which is weighted with some other files. By using this model, we can achieve the better accuracy in face detection which can be used for further purposes like auto focus in cameras, counting number of people etc. This model detects the faces accurately and paves the way for better recognition systems which can be used in many face biometric applications. For this purpose, low-cost computer board Raspberry Pi and Camera Sensor will be used.

Decrease in crop yield and degradation in product quality due to plant diseases such as rust and blast in pearl millet is the cause of concern for farmers and the agriculture industry. The stipulation of expert advice for disease identification is also a challenge for the farmers. The traditional techniques adopted for plant disease detection require more human intervention, are unhandy for farmers, and have a high cost of deployment, operation, and maintenance. Therefore, there is a requirement for automating plant disease detection and classification. Deep learning and IoT-based solutions are proposed in the literature for plant disease detection and classification. However, there is a huge scope to develop low-cost systems by integrating these techniques for data collection, feature visualization, and disease detection. This research aims to develop the ‘Automatic and Intelligent Data Collector and Classifier’ framework by integrating IoT and deep learning. The framework automatically collects the imagery and parametric data from the pearl millet farmland at ICAR, Mysore, India. It automatically sends the collected data to the cloud server and the Raspberry Pi. The ‘Custom-Net’ model designed as a part of this research is deployed on the cloud server. It collaborates with the Raspberry Pi to precisely predict the blast and rust diseases in pearl millet. Moreover, the Grad-CAM is employed to visualize the features extracted by the ‘Custom-Net’. Furthermore, the impact of transfer learning on the ‘Custom-Net’ and state-of-the-art models viz. Inception ResNet-V2, Inception-V3, ResNet-50, VGG-16, and VGG-19 is shown in this manuscript. Based on the experimental results, and features visualization by Grad-CAM, it is observed that the ‘Custom-Net’ extracts the relevant features and the transfer learning improves the extraction of relevant features. Additionally, the ‘Custom-Net’ model reports a classification accuracy of 98.78% that is equivalent to state-of-the-art models viz. Inception ResNet-V2, Inception-V3, ResNet-50, VGG-16, and VGG-19. Although the classification of ‘Custom-Net’ is comparable to state-of-the-art models, it is effective in reducing the training time by 86.67%. It makes the model more suitable for automating disease detection. This proves that the proposed model is effective in providing a low-cost and handy tool for farmers to improve crop yield and product quality.

The design of automated video surveillance systems often involves the detection of agents which exhibit anomalous or dangerous behavior in the scene under analysis. Models aimed to enhance the video pattern recognition abilities of the system are commonly integrated in order to increase its performance. Deep learning neural networks are found among the most popular models employed for this purpose. Nevertheless, the large computational demands of deep networks mean that exhaustive scans of the full video frame make the system perform rather poorly in terms of execution speed when implemented on low cost devices, due to the excessive computational load generated by the examination of multiple image windows. This work presents a video surveillance system aimed to detect moving objects with abnormal behavior for a panoramic 360∘ surveillance camera. The block of the video frame to be analyzed is determined on the basis of a probabilistic mixture distribution comprised by two mixture components. The first component is a uniform distribution, which is in charge of a blind window selection, while the second component is a mixture of kernel distributions. The kernel distributions generate windows within the video frame in the vicinity of the areas where anomalies were previously found. This contributes to obtain candidate windows for analysis which are close to the most relevant regions of the video frame, according to the past recorded activity. A Raspberry Pi microcontroller based board is employed to implement the system. This enables the design and implementation of a system with a low cost, which is nevertheless capable of performing the video analysis with a high video frame processing rate.

In this paper, we proposed an approach to detect oilseed rape pests based on deep learning, which improves the mean average precision (mAP) to 77.14%; the result increased by 9.7% with the original model. We adopt this model to mobile platform to let every farmer able to use this program, which will diagnose pests in real time and provide suggestions on pest controlling. We designed an oilseed rape pest imaging database with 12 typical oilseed rape pests and compared the performance of five models, SSD w/Inception is chosen as the optimal model. Moreover, for the purpose of the high mAP, we have used data augmentation (DA) and added a dropout layer. The experiments are performed on the Android application we developed, and the result shows that our approach surpasses the original model obviously and is helpful for integrated pest management. This application has improved environmental adaptability, response speed, and accuracy by contrast with the past works and has the advantage of low cost and simple operation, which are suitable for the pest monitoring mission of drones and Internet of Things (IoT).

Nowadays, deep learning methods with high structural complexity and flexibility inevitably lean on the computational capability of the hardware. A platform with high-performance GPUs and large amounts of memory could support neural networks having large numbers of layers and kernels. However, naively pursuing high-cost hardware would probably drag the technical development of deep learning methods. In the article, we thus establish a new preprocessing method to reduce the computational complexity of the neural networks. Inspired by the band theory of solids in physics, we map the image space into a noninteraction physical system isomorphically and then treat image voxels as particle-like clusters. Then, we reconstruct the Fermi–Dirac distribution to be a correction function for the normalization of the voxel intensity and as a filter of insignificant cluster components. The filtered clusters at the circumstance can delineate the morphological heterogeneity of the image voxels. We used the BraTS 2019 datasets and the dimensional fusion U-net for the algorithmic validation, and the proposed Fermi–Dirac correction function exhibited comparable performance to other employed preprocessing methods. By comparing to the conventional z-score normalization function and the Gamma correction function, the proposed algorithm can save at least 38% of computational time cost under a low-cost hardware architecture. Even though the correction function of global histogram equalization has the lowest computational time among the employed correction functions, the proposed Fermi–Dirac correction function exhibits better capabilities of image augmentation and segmentation.

(1) Background: Bioreactors mimic the natural environment of cells and tissues by providing a controlled micro-environment. However, their design is often expensive and complex. Herein, we have introduced the development of a low-cost compression bioreactor which enables the application of different mechanical stimulation regimes to in vitro tissue models and provides the information of applied stress and strain in real-time. (2) Methods: The compression bioreactor is designed using a mini-computer called Raspberry Pi, which is programmed to apply compressive deformation at various strains and frequencies, as well as to measure the force applied to the tissue constructs. Besides this, we have developed a mobile application connected to the bioreactor software to monitor, command, and control experiments via mobile devices. (3) Results: Cell viability results indicate that the newly designed compression bioreactor supports cell cultivation in a sterile environment without any contamination. The developed bioreactor software plots the experimental data of dynamic mechanical loading in a long-term manner, as well as stores them for further data processing. Following in vitro uniaxial compression conditioning of 3D in vitro cartilage models, chondrocyte cell migration was altered positively compared to static cultures. (4) Conclusion: The developed compression bioreactor can support the in vitro tissue model cultivation and monitor the experimental information with a low-cost controlling system and via mobile application. The highly customizable mold inside the cultivation chamber is a significant approach to solve the limited customization capability of the traditional bioreactors. Most importantly, the compression bioreactor prevents operator- and system-dependent variability between experiments by enabling a dynamic culture in a large volume for multiple numbers of in vitro tissue constructs.
