Maize Ear

Crop-related object recognition is of great importance in realizing intelligent agricultural machinery. Maize (Zea mays. L.) ear recognition could be a representative of crop-related object recognition, which is a critical technological premise for realizing automatic maize ear picking and maize yield prediction. In order to recognize maize ears in dough stage, this study combined deep learning and image processing, which have advantages of feature extraction and hardware flexibility, respectively. LabelImage was applied to mark and label maize plants, based on the deep learning framework TensorFlow, and this study developed multiscale hierarchical feature extraction together with quadruple-expanded convolutional kernels. To recognize the whole maize plant, 1250 images were acquired for training the recognition model, and its performance in a test set showed that the recognition accuracy was 99.47%. Subsequently, multifeatures of maize ear were determined, and the optimum binary threshold was obtained by fitting Gaussian distribution in the subblock image. Consequently, the maize ear was recognized by morphological process which was conducted by Python and OpenCV. Experiment was conducted in August 2018, and 10800 images were acquired for testing this algorithm. Experimental results showed that the average recognition accuracy was 97.02% and time consumption was 0.39 s for each image, which could meet a forward speed of 4.61 km/h for combine harvesters.

Underwater Target

Underwater target recognition is an important supporting technology for the development of marine resources, which is mainly limited by the purity of feature extraction and the universality of recognition schemes. The low-frequency analysis and recording (LOFAR) spectrum is one of the key features of the underwater target, which can be used for feature extraction. However, the complex underwater environment noise and the extremely low signal-to-noise ratio of the target signal lead to breakpoints in the LOFAR spectrum, which seriously hinders the underwater target recognition. To overcome this issue and to further improve the recognition performance, we adopted a deep-learning approach for underwater target recognition, and a novel LOFAR spectrum enhancement (LSE)-based underwater target-recognition scheme was proposed, which consists of preprocessing, offline training, and online testing. In preprocessing, we specifically design a LOFAR spectrum enhancement based on multi-step decision algorithm to recover the breakpoints in LOFAR spectrum. In offline training, the enhanced LOFAR spectrum is adopted as the input of convolutional neural network (CNN) and a LOFAR-based CNN (LOFAR-CNN) for online recognition is developed. Taking advantage of the powerful capability of CNN in feature extraction, the recognition accuracy can be further improved by the proposed LOFAR-CNN. Finally, extensive simulation results demonstrate that the LOFAR-CNN network can achieve a recognition accuracy of 95.22%, which outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

Adaptive Ability

Pedestrian reidentification is a key technology in large-scale distributed camera systems. It can quickly and efficiently detect and track target people in large-scale distributed surveillance networks. The existing traditional pedestrian reidentification methods have problems such as low recognition accuracy, low calculation efficiency, and weak adaptive ability. Pedestrian reidentification algorithms based on deep learning have been widely used in the field of pedestrian reidentification due to their strong adaptive ability and high recognition accuracy. However, the pedestrian recognition method based on deep learning has the following problems: first, during the learning process of the deep learning model, the initial value of the convolution kernel is usually randomly assigned, which makes the model learning process easily fall into a local optimum. The second is that the model parameter learning method based on the gradient descent method exhibits gradient dispersion. The third is that the information transfer of pedestrian reidentification sequence images is not considered. In view of these issues, this paper first examines the feature map matrix from the original image through a deconvolution neural network, uses it as a convolution kernel, and then performs layer-by-layer convolution and pooling operations. Then, the second derivative information of the error function is directly obtained without calculating the Hessian matrix, and the momentum coefficient is used to improve the convergence of the backpropagation, thereby suppressing the gradient dispersion phenomenon. At the same time, to solve the problem of information transfer of pedestrian reidentification sequence images, this paper proposes a memory network model based on a multilayer attention mechanism, which uses the network to effectively store image visual information and pedestrian behavior information, respectively. It can solve the problem of information transmission. Based on the above ideas, this paper proposes a pedestrian reidentification algorithm based on deconvolution network feature extraction-multilayer attention mechanism convolutional neural network. Experiments are performed on the related data sets using this algorithm and other major popular human reidentification algorithms. The results show that the pedestrian reidentification method proposed in this paper not only has strong adaptive ability but also has significantly improved average recognition accuracy and rank-1 matching rate compared with other mainstream methods.

Voxel Grid

3D object recognition has been a cutting-edge research topic since the popularization of depth cameras. These cameras enhance the perception of the environment and so are particularly suitable for autonomous robot navigation applications. Advanced deep learning approaches for 3D object recognition are based on complex algorithms and demand powerful hardware resources. However, autonomous robots and powered wheelchairs have limited resources, which affects the implementation of these algorithms for real-time performance. We propose to use instead a 3D voxel-based extension of the 2D histogram of oriented gradients (3DVHOG) as a handcrafted object descriptor for 3D object recognition in combination with a pose normalization method for rotational invariance and a supervised object classifier. The experimental goal is to reduce the overall complexity and the system hardware requirements, and thus enable a feasible real-time hardware implementation. This article compares the 3DVHOG object recognition rates with those of other 3D recognition approaches, using the ModelNet10 object data set as a reference. We analyze the recognition accuracy for 3DVHOG using a variety of voxel grid selections, different numbers of neurons ( Nh) in the single hidden layer feedforward neural network, and feature dimensionality reduction using principal component analysis. The experimental results show that the 3DVHOG descriptor achieves a recognition accuracy of 84.91% with a total processing time of 21.4 ms. Despite the lower recognition accuracy, this is close to the current state-of-the-art approaches for deep learning while enabling real-time performance.

The smart teaching mode overcomes the shortcomings of traditional teaching online and offline, but there are certain deficiencies in the real-time feature extraction of teachers and students. In view of this, this study uses the particle swarm image recognition and deep learning technology to process the intelligent classroom video teaching image and extracts the classroom task features in real time and sends them to the teacher. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the premature convergence of the standard particle swarm optimization algorithm, an improved strategy for multiple particle swarm optimization algorithms is proposed. In order to improve the premature problem in the search performance algorithm of PSO algorithm, this paper combines the algorithm with the useful attributes of other algorithms to improve the particle diversity in the algorithm, enhance the global search ability of the particle, and achieve effective feature extraction. The research indicates that the method proposed in this paper has certain practical effects and can provide theoretical reference for subsequent related research.

Yoruba Language

Yorùbá language is one of the three main languages that is been spoken in Nigeria. It is a tonal language that carries an accent on the vowel alphabets. There are twenty-five (25) alphabets in Yorùbá language with one of the alphabets a digraph (GB). Due to the difficulty in typing handwritten Yorùbá documents, there is a need to develop a handwritten recognition system that can convert the handwritten texts to digital format. This study discusses the offline Yorùbá handwritten word recognition system (OYHWR) that recognizes Yorùbá uppercase alphabets. Handwritten characters and words were obtained from different writers using the paint application and M708 graphics tablets. The characters were used for training and the words were used for testing. Pre-processing was done on the images and the geometric features of the images were extracted using zoning and gradient-based feature extraction. Geometric features are the different line types that form a particular character such as the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. The geometric features used are the number of horizontal lines, number of vertical lines, number of right diagonal lines, number of left diagonal lines, total length of all horizontal lines, total length of all vertical lines, total length of all right slanting lines, total length of all left-slanting lines and the area of the skeleton. The characters are divided into 9 zones and gradient feature extraction was used to extract the horizontal and vertical components and geometric features in each zone. The words were fed into the support vector machine classifier and the performance was evaluated based on recognition accuracy. Support vector machine is a two-class classifier, hence a multiclass SVM classifier least square support vector machine (LSSVM) was used for word recognition. The one vs one strategy and RBF kernel were used and the recognition accuracy obtained from the tested words ranges between 66.7%, 83.3%, 85.7%, 87.5%, and 100%. The low recognition rate for some of the words could be as a result of the similarity in the extracted features.

Proposed Model

UNSTRUCTURED Big data and its approaches are generally helpful for healthcare and biomedical sectors for predicting the disease. For trivial symptoms, the difficulty is to meet the doctors at any time in the hospital. Thus, big data provides essential data regarding the diseases on the basis of the patient’s symptoms. For several medical organizations, disease prediction is important for making the best feasible health care decisions. Conversely, the conventional medical care model offers input as structured that requires more accurate and consistent prediction. This paper is planned to develop the multi-disease prediction using the improvised deep learning concept. Here, the different datasets pertain to “Diabetes, Hepatitis, lung cancer, liver tumor, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease”, from the benchmark UCI repository is gathered for conducting the experiment. The proposed model involves three phases (a) Data normalization (b) Weighted normalized feature extraction, and (c) prediction. Initially, the dataset is normalized in order to make the attribute's range at a certain level. Further, weighted feature extraction is performed, in which a weight function is multiplied with each attribute value for making large scale deviation. Here, the weight function is optimized using the combination of two meta-heuristic algorithms termed as Jaya Algorithm-based Multi-Verse Optimization algorithm (JA-MVO). The optimally extracted features are subjected to the hybrid deep learning algorithms like “Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)”. As a modification to hybrid deep learning architecture, the weight of both DBN and RNN is optimized using the same hybrid optimization algorithm. Further, the comparative evaluation of the proposed prediction over the existing models certifies its effectiveness through various performance measures.

Hyperspectral Classification

Deep learning models have strong abilities in learning features and they have been successfully applied in hyperspectral images (HSIs). However, the training of most deep learning models requires labeled samples and the collection of labeled samples are labor-consuming in HSI. In addition, single-level features from a single layer are usually considered, which may result in the loss of some important information. Using multiple networks to obtain multi-level features is a solution, but at the cost of longer training time and computational complexity. To solve these problems, a novel unsupervised multi-level feature extraction framework that is based on a three dimensional convolutional autoencoder (3D-CAE) is proposed in this paper. The designed 3D-CAE is stacked by fully 3D convolutional layers and 3D deconvolutional layers, which allows for the spectral-spatial information of targets to be mined simultaneously. Besides, the 3D-CAE can be trained in an unsupervised way without involving labeled samples. Moreover, the multi-level features are directly obtained from the encoded layers with different scales and resolutions, which is more efficient than using multiple networks to get them. The effectiveness of the proposed multi-level features is verified on two hyperspectral data sets. The results demonstrate that the proposed method has great promise in unsupervised feature learning and can help us to further improve the hyperspectral classification when compared with single-level features.

Paddy is an essential nutrient worldwide. Rice gives 21% of worldwide human per capita energy and 15% of per capita protein. Asia represented 60% of the worldwide populace, about 92% of the world’s rice creation, and 90% of worldwide rice utilization. With the increase in population, the demand for rice is increased. So, the productivity of farming is needed to be enhanced by introducing new technology. Deep learning and IoT are hot topics for research in various fields. This paper suggested a setup comprising deep learning and IoT for monitoring of paddy field remotely. The vgg16 pre-trained network is considered for the identification of paddy leaf diseases and nitrogen status estimation. Here, two strategies are carried out to identify images: transfer learning and deep feature extraction. The deep feature extraction approach is combined with a support vector machine (SVM) to classify images. The transfer learning approach of vgg16 for identifying four types of leaf diseases and prediction of nitrogen status results in 79.86% and 84.88% accuracy. Again, the deep features of Vgg16 and SVM results for identifying four types of leaf diseases and prediction of nitrogen status have achieved an accuracy of 97.31% and 99.02%, respectively. Besides, a framework is suggested for monitoring of paddy field remotely based on IoT and deep learning. The suggested prototype’s superiority is that it controls temperature and humidity like the state-of-the-art and can monitor the additional two aspects, such as detecting nitrogen status and diseases.
