Bearing Defect

The postproduction defect classification and detection of bearings still relies on manual detection, which is time-consuming and tedious. To address this, we propose a bearing defect classification network based on an autoencoder to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of bearing defect detection. An improved autoencoder is used to reduce dimension feature extraction and reduce large-scale images to small-scale images through encoder dimensional reduction. Defect classification is completed by feeding the extracted features into a convolutional classification network. Comparative experiments show that the neural network can effectively complete feature selection and substantially improve classification accuracy while avoiding the laborious algorithm of the conventional method.

In the field of machine vision defect detection for a micro workpiece, it is very important to make the neural network realize the integrity of the mask in analyte segmentation regions. In the process of the recognition of small workpieces, fatal defects are always contained in borderline areas that are difficult to demarcate. The non-maximum suppression (NMS) of intersection over union (IOU) will lose crucial texture information especially in the clutter and occlusion detection areas. In this paper, simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) is used to augment the mask as well as calibrate the score of the mask. We propose an SLIC head of object instance segmentation in proposal regions (Mask R-CNN) containing a network block to learn the quality of the predict masks. It is found that parallel K-means in the limited region mechanism in the SLIC head improved the confidence of the mask score, in the context of our workpiece. A continuous fine-tune mechanism was utilized to continuously improve the model robustness in a large-scale production line. We established a detection system, which included an optical fiber locator, telecentric lens system, matrix stereoscopic light, a rotating platform, and a neural network with an SLIC head. The accuracy of defect detection is effectively improved for micro workpieces with clutter and borderline areas.

Background: Identifying user suitability plays a vital role in various modalities like neuromuscular system research, rehabilitation engineering and movement biomechanics. This paper analysis the user suitability based on neural networks (NN), subjects, age groups and gender for surface electromyogram (sEMG) pattern recognition system to control the myoelectric hand. Six parametric feature extraction algorithms are used to extract the features from sEMG signals such as AR (Autoregressive) Burg, AR Yule Walker, AR Covariance, AR Modified Covariance, Levinson Durbin Recursion and Linear Prediction Coefficient. The sEMG signals are modeled using Cascade Forward Back propagation Neural Network (CFBNN) and Pattern Recognition Neural Network. Methods: sEMG signals generated from forearm muscles of the participants are collected through an sEMG acquisition system. Based on the sEMG signals, the type of movement attempted by the user is identified in the sEMG recognition module using signal processing, feature extraction and machine learning techniques. The information about the identified movement is passed to microcontroller wherein a control is developed to command the prosthetic hand to emulate the identified movement. Results: From the six feature extraction algorithms and two neural network models used in the study, the maximum classification accuracy of 95.13% was obtained using AR Burg with Pattern Recognition Neural Network. This justifies that the Pattern Recognition Neural Network is best suited for this study as the neural network model is specially designed for pattern matching problem. Moreover, it has simple architecture and low computational complexity. AR Burg is found to be the best feature extraction technique in this study due to its high resolution for short data records and its ability to always produce a stable model. In all the neural network models, the maximum classification accuracy is obtained for subject 10 as a result of his better muscle fitness and his maximum involvement in training sessions. Subjects in the age group of 26-30 years are best suited for the study due to their better muscle contractions. Better muscle fatigue resistance has contributed for better performance of female subjects as compared to male subjects. From the single trial analysis, it can be observed that the hand close movement has achieved best recognition rate for all neural network models. Conclusion: In this paper a study was conducted to identify user suitability for designing hand prosthesis. Data were collected from ten subjects for twelve tasks related to finger movements. The suitability of the user was identified using two neural networks with six parametric features. From the result, it was concluded thatfit women doing regular physical exercises aged between 26-30 years are best suitable for developing HMI for designing a prosthetic hand. Pattern Recognition Neural Network with AR Burg extraction features using extension movements will be a better way to design the HMI. However, Signal acquisition based on wireless method is worth considering for the future.

One of the biggest challenges of training deep neural network is the need for massive data annotation. To train the neural network for object detection, millions of annotated training images are required. However, currently, there are no large-scale thermal image datasets that could be used to train the state of the art neural networks, while voluminous RGB image datasets are available. This paper presents a method that allows to create hundreds of thousands of annotated thermal images using the RGB pre-trained object detector. A dataset created in this way can be used to train object detectors with improved performance. The main gain of this work is the novel method for fully automatic thermal image labeling. The proposed system uses the RGB camera, thermal camera, 3D LiDAR, and the pre-trained neural network that detects objects in the RGB domain. Using this setup, it is possible to run the fully automated process that annotates the thermal images and creates the automatically annotated thermal training dataset. As the result, we created a dataset containing hundreds of thousands of annotated objects. This approach allows to train deep learning models with similar performance as the common human-annotation-based methods do. This paper also proposes several improvements to fine-tune the results with minimal human intervention. Finally, the evaluation of the proposed solution shows that the method gives significantly better results than training the neural network with standard small-scale hand-annotated thermal image datasets.

The purpose of image dehazing is the reduction of the image degradation caused by suspended particles for supporting high-level visual tasks. Besides the atmospheric scattering model, convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used for image dehazing. However, the existing image dehazing algorithms are limited in face of unevenly distributed haze and dense haze in real-world scenes. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end convolutional neural network called attention enhanced serial Unet++ dehazing network (AESUnet) for single image dehazing. We attempt to build a serial Unet++ structure that adopts a serial strategy of two pruned Unet++ blocks based on residual connection. Compared with the simple Encoder–Decoder structure, the serial Unet++ module can better use the features extracted by encoders and promote contextual information fusion in different resolutions. In addition, we take some improvement measures to the Unet++ module, such as pruning, introducing the convolutional module with ResNet structure, and a residual learning strategy. Thus, the serial Unet++ module can generate more realistic images with less color distortion. Furthermore, following the serial Unet++ blocks, an attention mechanism is introduced to pay different attention to haze regions with different concentrations by learning weights in the spatial domain and channel domain. Experiments are conducted on two representative datasets: the large-scale synthetic dataset RESIDE and the small-scale real-world datasets I-HAZY and O-HAZY. The experimental results show that the proposed dehazing network is not only comparable to state-of-the-art methods for the RESIDE synthetic datasets, but also surpasses them by a very large margin for the I-HAZY and O-HAZY real-world dataset.

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is extensively used technique for image retrieval from large image databases. However, users are not satisfied with the conventional image retrieval techniques. In addition, the advent of web development and transmission networks, the number of images available to users continues to increase. Therefore, a permanent and considerable digital image production in many areas takes place. Quick access to the similar images of a given query image from this extensive collection of images pose great challenges and require proficient techniques. From query by image to retrieval of relevant images, CBIR has key phases such as feature extraction, similarity measurement, and retrieval of relevant images. However, extracting the features of the images is one of the important steps. Recently Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) shows good results in the field of computer vision due to the ability of feature extraction from the images. Alex Net is a classical Deep CNN for image feature extraction. We have modified the Alex Net Architecture with a few changes and proposed a novel framework to improve its ability for feature extraction and for similarity measurement. The proposal approach optimizes Alex Net in the aspect of pooling layer. In particular, average pooling is replaced by max-avg pooling and the non-linear activation function Maxout is used after every Convolution layer for better feature extraction. This paper introduces CNN for features extraction from images in CBIR system and also presents Euclidean distance along with the Comprehensive Values for better results. The proposed framework goes beyond image retrieval, including the large-scale database. The performance of the proposed work is evaluated using precision. The proposed work show better results than existing works.

New Feature

The common spatial pattern (CSP) is a very effective feature extraction method in motor imagery based brain computer interface (BCI), but its performance depends on the selection of the optimal frequency band. Although a lot of research works have been proposed to improve CSP, most of these works have the problems of large computation costs and long feature extraction time. To this end, three new feature extraction methods based on CSP and a new feature selection method based on non-convex log regularization are proposed in this paper. Firstly, EEG signals are spatially filtered by CSP, and then three new feature extraction methods are proposed. We called them CSP-wavelet, CSP-WPD and CSP-FB, respectively. For CSP-Wavelet and CSP-WPD, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) or wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) is used to decompose the spatially filtered signals, and then the energy and standard deviation of the wavelet coefficients are extracted as features. For CSP-FB, the spatially filtered signals are filtered into multiple bands by a filter bank (FB), and then the logarithm of variances of each band are extracted as features. Secondly, a sparse optimization method regularized with a non-convex log function is proposed for the feature selection, which we called LOG, and an optimization algorithm for LOG is given. Finally, ensemble learning is used for secondary feature selection and classification model construction. Combing feature extraction and feature selection methods, a total of three new EEG decoding methods are obtained, namely CSP-Wavelet+LOG, CSP-WPD+LOG, and CSP-FB+LOG. Four public motor imagery datasets are used to verify the performance of the proposed methods. Compared to existing methods, the proposed methods achieved the highest average classification accuracy of 88.86, 83.40, 81.53, and 80.83 in datasets 1–4, respectively. The feature extraction time of CSP-FB is the shortest. The experimental results show that the proposed methods can effectively improve the classification accuracy and reduce the feature extraction time. With comprehensive consideration of classification accuracy and feature extraction time, CSP-FB+LOG has the best performance and can be used for the real-time BCI system.
