Plant disease is one of the primary causes of crop yield reduction. With the development of computer vision and deep learning technology, autonomous detection of plant surface lesion images collected by optical sensors has become an important research direction for timely crop disease diagnosis. In this paper, an anthracnose lesion detection method based on deep learning is proposed. Firstly, for the problem of insufficient image data caused by the random occurrence of apple diseases, in addition to traditional image augmentation techniques, Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Network (CycleGAN) deep learning model is used in this paper to accomplish data augmentation. These methods effectively enrich the diversity of training data and provide a solid foundation for training the detection model. In this paper, on the basis of image data augmentation, densely connected neural network (DenseNet) is utilized to optimize feature layers of the YOLO-V3 model which have lower resolution. DenseNet greatly improves the utilization of features in the neural network and enhances the detection result of the YOLO-V3 model. It is verified in experiments that the improved model exceeds Faster R-CNN with VGG16 NET, the original YOLO-V3 model, and other three state-of-the-art networks in detection performance, and it can realize real-time detection. The proposed method can be well applied to the detection of anthracnose lesions on apple surfaces in orchards.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being widely utilized for various missions: in both civilian and military sectors. Many of these missions demand UAVs to acquire artificial intelligence about the environments they are navigating in. This perception can be realized by training a computing machine to classify objects in the environment. One of the well known machine training approaches is supervised deep learning, which enables a machine to classify objects. However, supervised deep learning comes with huge sacrifice in terms of time and computational resources. Collecting big input data, pre-training processes, such as labeling training data, and the need for a high performance computer for training are some of the challenges that supervised deep learning poses. To address these setbacks, this study proposes mission specific input data augmentation techniques and the design of light-weight deep neural network architecture that is capable of real-time object classification. Semi-direct visual odometry (SVO) data of augmented images are used to train the network for object classification. Ten classes of 10,000 different images in each class were used as input data where 80% were for training the network and the remaining 20% were used for network validation. For the optimization of the designed deep neural network, a sequential gradient descent algorithm was implemented. This algorithm has the advantage of handling redundancy in the data more efficiently than other algorithms.

Silicon wafer defect data collected from fabrication facilities is intrinsically imbalanced because of the variable frequencies of defect types. Frequently occurring types will have more influence on the classification predictions if a model gets trained on such skewed data. A fair classifier for such imbalanced data requires a mechanism to deal with type imbalance in order to avoid biased results. This study has proposed a convolutional neural network for wafer map defect classification, employing oversampling as an imbalance addressing technique. To have an equal participation of all classes in the classifier’s training, data augmentation has been employed, generating more samples in minor classes. The proposed deep learning method has been evaluated on a real wafer map defect dataset and its classification results on the test set returned a 97.91% accuracy. The results were compared with another deep learning based auto-encoder model demonstrating the proposed method, a potential approach for silicon wafer defect classification that needs to be investigated further for its robustness.

Deep learning technology is outstanding in visual inspection. However, in actual industrial production, the use of deep learning technology for visual inspection requires a large number of training data with different acquisition scenarios. At present, the acquisition of such datasets is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, which limits the further development of deep learning in industrial production. To solve the problem of image data acquisition difficulty in industrial production with deep learning, this paper proposes a data augmentation method for deep learning based on multi-degree of freedom (DOF) automatic image acquisition and designs a multi-DOF automatic image acquisition system for deep learning. By designing random acquisition angles and random illumination conditions, different acquisition scenes in actual production are simulated. By optimizing the image acquisition path, a large number of accurate data can be obtained in a short time. In order to verify the performance of the dataset collected by the system, the fabric is selected as the research object after the system is built, and the dataset comparison experiment is carried out. The dataset comparison experiment confirms that the dataset obtained by the system is rich and close to the real application environment, which solves the problem of dataset insufficient in the application process of deep learning to a certain extent.

Recently, human being’s curiosity has been expanded from the land to the sky and the sea. Besides sending people to explore the ocean and outer space, robots are designed for some tasks dangerous for living creatures. Take the ocean exploration for an example. There are many projects or competitions on the design of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) which attracted many interests. Authors of this article have learned the necessity of platform upgrade from a previous AUV design project, and would like to share the experience of one task extension in the area of fish detection. Because most of the embedded systems have been improved by fast growing computing and sensing technologies, which makes them possible to incorporate more and more complicated algorithms. In an AUV, after acquiring surrounding information from sensors, how to perceive and analyse corresponding information for better judgement is one of the challenges. The processing procedure can mimic human being’s learning routines. An advanced system with more computing power can facilitate deep learning feature, which exploit many neural network algorithms to simulate human brains. In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based fish detection method was proposed. The training data set was collected from the Gulf of Mexico by a digital camera. To fit into this unique need, three optimization approaches were applied to the CNN: data augmentation, network simplification, and training process speed up. Data augmentation transformation provided more learning samples; the network was simplified to accommodate the artificial neural network; the training process speed up is introduced to make the training process more time efficient. Experimental results showed that the proposed model is promising, and has the potential to be extended to other underwear objects.

To automatically detect plastic gasket defects, a set of plastic gasket defect visual detection devices based on GoogLeNet Inception-V2 transfer learning was designed and established in this study. The GoogLeNet Inception-V2 deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) was adopted to extract and classify the defect features of plastic gaskets to solve the problem of their numerous surface defects and difficulty in extracting and classifying the features. Deep learning applications require a large amount of training data to avoid model overfitting, but there are few datasets of plastic gasket defects. To address this issue, data augmentation was applied to our dataset. Finally, the performance of the three convolutional neural networks was comprehensively compared. The results showed that the GoogLeNet Inception-V2 transfer learning model had a better performance in less time. It means it had higher accuracy, reliability, and efficiency on the dataset used in this paper.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and daily health monitoring. Before ECG analysis, ECG quality screening is an essential but time-consuming and experience-dependent work for technicians. An automatic ECG quality assessment method can reduce unnecessary time loss to help cardiologists perform diagnosis. This study aims to develop an automatic quality assessment system to search qualified ECGs for interpretation. The proposed system consists of data augmentation and quality assessment parts. For data augmentation, we train a conditional generative adversarial networks model to get an ECG segment generator, and thus to increase the number of training data. Then, we pre-train a deep quality assessment model based on a training dataset composed of real and generated ECG. Finally, we fine-tune the proposed model using real ECG and validate it on two different datasets composed of real ECG. The proposed system has a generalized performance on the two validation datasets. The model’s accuracy is 97.1% and 96.4%, respectively for the two datasets. The proposed method outperforms a shallow neural network model, and also a deep neural network models without being pre-trained by generated ECG. The proposed system demonstrates improved performance in the ECG quality assessment, and it has the potential to be an initial ECG quality screening tool in clinical practice.

Objective: Cascaded/attention-based neural network has become common in image segmentation. This work proposes to improve its robustness by adding discriminative image enhancement to its attention mechanism. Unlike prior work, this image enhancement can also be applied as data augmentation and easily adapted for existing models. Its generalization can improve accuracy across multiple segmentation tasks and datasets. Methods: The method first localizes a target organ in a 2D fashion to obtain a tight neighborhood of the organ in each slice. Next, the method computes an HU histogram of a region combined from multiple 2D neighborhoods. This allows the method to adaptively handle HU-range difference among images. Then, HUs are nonlinearly stretched through a parameterized mapping function providing discriminative features for neural network. Varying the function parameters creates different intensity distribution of the target region. This effectively enhances and augments image data at the same time. The HU-reassigned region is then fed to a segmentation model for training. Results: Our experiments on liver and kidney segmentation showed that even a simple cascaded 2D U-Net model could deliver competitive performance in a variety of datasets. In addition, cross-validation and ablation analysis indicated robustness of the method even when the number of original training samples was limited. Conclusion: With the proposed technique, a simple model with limited training data can deliver competitive performance. Significance: The method significantly improves robustness of a trained model and is ready for generalization to other segmentation tasks and attention-based models. Accurate models can be simpler to save computing resources.

Ultrasonic imaging is convenient and safe for cardiovascular disease diagnosis. Speckle tracking can obtain accurate myocardial movement data and provide important information for the diagnosis of cardiac function. Block matching method and optical flow method are the most commonly used speckle tracking methods. However, the accuracy of these methods cannot meet the needs of clinical application. Deep learning is applied to speckle tracking technology. Based on the correlation filters given to the deep convolution network, the migration learning method is introduced to obtain the feature mapping on the convolution layer on the pre-trained ImageNet VGG19 network. The feature mapping is used as the training data of correlation filters, and the tracking results obtained from convolution layers with different depths are filtered frame by frame, giving different weights to obtain the optimal tracking position within a certain search range. Then the correlation filter is updated to track the myocardial motion. The proposed deep learning based method has better accuracy for myocardial motion tracking, which indicates that the target tracking method based on convolutional neural network has potential advantages in this field.

Deep learning technology has developed constantly and is applied in many fields. In order to correctly apply deep learning techniques, sufficient learning must be preceded. Various conditions are necessary for sufficient learning. One of the most important conditions is training data. Collecting sufficient training data is fundamental, because if the training data are insufficient, deep learning will not be done properly. Many types of training data are collected, but not all of them. So, we may have to collect them directly. Collecting takes a lot of time and hard work. To reduce this effort, the data augmentation method is used to increase the training data. Data augmentation has some common methods, but often requires different methods for specific data. For example, in order to recognize sign language, video data processed with openpose are used. In this paper, we propose a new data augmentation method for sign language data used for learning translation, and we expect to improve the learning performance, according to the proposed method.
