In this article, the problem of video inpainting combines multiview spatial information and interframe information between video sequences. A vision system is an important way for autonomous vehicles to obtain information about the external environment. Loss or distortion of visual images caused by camera damage or pollution seriously makes an impact on the vision system ability to correctly perceive and understand the external environment. In this article, we solve the problem of image restoration by combining the optical flow information between frames in the video with the spatial information from multiple perspectives. To solve the problems of noise in the single-frame images of video frames, we propose a complete two-stage video repair method. We combine the spatial information of images from different perspectives and the optical flow information of the video sequence to assist and constrain the repair of damaged images in the video. This method combines the interframe information of the front and rear image frames with the multiview image information in the video and performs video repair based on optical flow and a conditional generation adversarial network. This method regards video inpainting as a pixel propagation problem, uses the interframe information in the video for video inpainting, and introduces multiview information to assist the repair based on a conditional generative adversarial network. This method was trained and tested in Zurich using a data set recorded by a pair of cameras mounted on a mobile platform.

In the last decade, predictive maintenance has attracted a lot of attention in industrial factories because of its wide use of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence algorithms for data management. However, in the early phases where the abnormal and faulty machines rarely appeared in factories, there were limited sets of machine fault samples. With limited fault samples, it is difficult to perform a training process for fault classification due to the imbalance of input data. Therefore, data augmentation was required to increase the accuracy of the learning model. However, there were limited methods to generate and evaluate the data applied for data analysis. In this paper, we introduce a method of using the generative adversarial network as the fault signal augmentation method to enrich the dataset. The enhanced data set could increase the accuracy of the machine fault detection model in the training process. We also performed fault detection using a variety of preprocessing approaches and classified the models to evaluate the similarities between the generated data and authentic data. The generated fault data has high similarity with the original data and it significantly improves the accuracy of the model. The accuracy of fault machine detection reaches 99.41% with 20% original fault machine data set and 93.1% with 0% original fault machine data set (only use generate data only). Based on this, we concluded that the generated data could be used to mix with original data and improve the model performance.

Underwater acoustic target recognition is an important aspect of underwater acoustic research. In recent years, machine learning has been developed continuously, which is widely and effectively applied in underwater acoustic target recognition. In order to acquire good recognition results and reduce the problem of overfitting, Adequate data sets are essential. However, underwater acoustic samples are relatively rare, which has a certain impact on recognition accuracy. In this paper, in addition of the traditional audio data augmentation method, a new method of data augmentation using generative adversarial network is proposed, which uses generator and discriminator to learn the characteristics of underwater acoustic samples, so as to generate reliable underwater acoustic signals to expand the training data set. The expanded data set is input into the deep neural network, and the transfer learning method is applied to further reduce the impact caused by small samples by fixing part of the pre-trained parameters. The experimental results show that the recognition result of this method is better than the general underwater acoustic recognition method, and the effectiveness of this method is verified.

A significant problem in the field of hardware security consists of hardware trojan (HT) viruses. The insertion of HTs into a circuit can be applied for each phase of the circuit chain of production. HTs degrade the infected circuit, destroy it or leak encrypted data. Nowadays, efforts are being made to address HTs through machine learning (ML) techniques, mainly for the gate-level netlist (GLN) phase, but there are some restrictions. Specifically, the number and variety of normal and infected circuits that exist through the free public libraries, such as Trust-HUB, are based on the few samples of benchmarks that have been created from circuits large in size. Thus, it is difficult, based on these data, to develop robust ML-based models against HTs. In this paper, we propose a new deep learning (DL) tool named Generative Artificial Intelligence Netlists SynthesIS (GAINESIS). GAINESIS is based on the Wasserstein Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (WCGAN) algorithm and area–power analysis features from the GLN phase and synthesizes new normal and infected circuit samples for this phase. Based on our GAINESIS tool, we synthesized new data sets, different in size, and developed and compared seven ML classifiers. The results demonstrate that our new generated data sets significantly enhance the performance of ML classifiers compared with the initial data set of Trust-HUB.

Due to the strong concealment of electricity theft and the limitation of inspection resources, the number of power theft samples mastered by the power department is insufficient, which limits the accuracy of power theft detection. Therefore, a data augmentation method for electricity theft detection based on the conditional variational auto-encoder (CVAE) is proposed. Firstly, the stealing power curves are mapped into low dimensional latent variables by using the encoder composed of convolutional layers, and the new stealing power curves are reconstructed by the decoder composed of deconvolutional layers. Then, five typical attack models are proposed, and the convolutional neural network is constructed as a classifier according to the data characteristics of stealing power curves. Finally, the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed method is verified by a smart meters’ data set from London. The simulation results show that the CVAE can take into account the shapes and distribution characteristics of samples at the same time, and the generated stealing power curves have the best effect on the performance improvement of the classifier than the traditional augmentation methods such as the random oversampling method, synthetic minority over-sampling technique, and conditional generative adversarial network. Moreover, it is suitable for different classifiers.

The developments in the fields of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and big data technologies have made it possible to collect a lot of meaningful industrial process and quality-based data. The gathered data are analyzed using contemporary statistical methods and machine learning techniques. Then, the extracted knowledge can be used for predictive maintenance or prognostic health management. However, it is difficult to gather complete data due to several issues in IIoT, such as devices breaking down, running out of battery, or undergoing scheduled maintenance. Data with missing values are often ignored, as they may contain insufficient information from which to draw conclusions. In order to overcome these issues, we propose a novel, effective missing data handling mechanism for the concepts of symmetry principles. While other existing methods only attempt to estimate missing parts, the proposed method generates a whole set of data set using Gaussian process regression and a generative adversarial network. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we examine a real-world, industrial case involving an air pressure system (APS), where we use the proposed method to make quality predictions and compare the results with existing state-of-the-art estimation methods.

Convolutional Neural Network- (CNN-) based GAN models mainly suffer from problems such as data set limitation and rendering efficiency in the segmentation and rendering of painting art. In order to solve these problems, this paper uses the improved cycle generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) to render the current image style. This method replaces the deep residual network (ResNet) of the original network generator with a dense connected convolutional network (DenseNet) and uses the perceptual loss function for adversarial training. The painting art style rendering system built in this paper is based on perceptual adversarial network (PAN) for the improved CycleGAN that suppresses the limitation of the network model on paired samples. The proposed method also improves the quality of the image generated by the artistic style of painting and further improves the stability and speeds up the network convergence speed. Experiments were conducted on the painting art style rendering system based on the proposed model. Experimental results have shown that the image style rendering method based on the perceptual adversarial error to improve the CycleGAN + PAN model can achieve better results. The PSNR value of the generated image is increased by 6.27% on average, and the SSIM values are all increased by about 10%. Therefore, the improved CycleGAN + PAN image painting art style rendering method produces better painting art style images, which has strong application value.

Hyperspectral remote sensing images (HSIs) have a higher spectral resolution compared to multispectral remote sensing images, providing the possibility for more reasonable and effective analysis and processing of spectral data. However, rich spectral information usually comes at the expense of low spatial resolution owing to the physical limitations of sensors, which brings difficulties for identifying and analyzing targets in HSIs. In the super-resolution (SR) field, many methods have been focusing on the restoration of the spatial information while ignoring the spectral aspect. To better restore the spectral information in the HSI SR field, a novel super-resolution (SR) method was proposed in this study. Firstly, we innovatively used three-dimensional (3D) convolution based on SRGAN (Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network) structure to not only exploit the spatial features but also preserve spectral properties in the process of SR. Moreover, we used the attention mechanism to deal with the multiply features from the 3D convolution layers, and we enhanced the output of our model by improving the content of the generator’s loss function. The experimental results indicate that the 3DASRGAN (3D Attention-based Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network) is both visually quantitatively better than the comparison methods, which proves that the 3DASRGAN model can reconstruct high-resolution HSIs with high efficiency.
