Abstract. Internal bruise damage that occurs in blueberry fruit during harvest operations and postharvest handling lowers the overall quality and causes significant economic losses. The main goal of this study was to nondestructively detect internal bruises in blueberries after mechanical damage using hyperspectral transmittance imaging. A total of 600 hand-harvested blueberries were divided into 20 groups of four storage times (30 min, 3 h, 12 h, and 24 h), two storage temperatures (22°C and 4°C), and three treatments (stem bruise, equator bruise, and control). A near-infrared hyperspectral imaging system was used to acquire transmittance images from 970 to 1400 nm with 5 nm bandwidth. Images were acquired from three orientations (calyx-up, stem-up, and equator-up) for fruit in the control and stem bruise groups and from four orientations (calyx-up, stem-up, equator-up, and equator-down) in the equator bruise groups. Immediately after imaging, the fruit samples were sliced, and the sliced surfaces were photographed. The color images of sliced fruit were used as references. By comparing with the reference color images, the profiles of spatial and spectral intensities were evaluated to observe the effect of orientation and help extract regions of interest (ROIs) of bruised and healthy tissues. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was trained and tested to classify pixels of bruised and healthy tissues. Classification maps were produced, and the bruise ratio was calculated to identify bruised blueberries (bruise ratio >25%). The average accuracy of blueberry identification was 94.5% with the stem-up orientation. The results indicate that detecting bruised blueberries as soon as 30 min after mechanical damage is feasible using hyperspectral transmittance imaging.

AbstractCloud particles have different shapes in the atmosphere. Research on cloud particle shapes plays an important role in analyzing the growth of ice crystals and the cloud microphysics. To achieve an accurate and efficient classification algorithm on ice crystal images, this study uses image-based morphological processing and principal component analysis, to extract features of images and apply intelligent classification algorithms for the Cloud Particle Imager (CPI). Currently, there are mainly two types of ice-crystal classification methods: one is the mode parameterization scheme, and the other is the artificial intelligence model. Combined with data feature extraction, the dataset was tested on ten types of classifiers, and the highest average accuracy was 99.07%. The fastest processing speed of the real-time data processing test was 2,000 images/s. In actual application, the algorithm should consider the processing speed, because the images are in the order of millions. Therefore, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier was used in this study. The SVM-based optimization algorithm can classify ice crystals into nine classes with an average accuracy of 95%, blurred frame accuracy of 100%, with a processing speed of 2,000 images/s. This method has a relatively high accuracy and faster classification processing speed than the classic neural network model. The new method could be also applied in physical parameter analysis of cloud microphysics.

Most road accidents occur due to human fatigue, inattention, or drowsiness. Recently, machine learning technology has been successfully applied to identifying driving styles and recognizing unsafe behaviors starting from in-vehicle sensors signals such as vehicle and engine speed, throttle position, and engine load. In this work, we investigated the fusion of different external sensors, such as a gyroscope and a magnetometer, with in-vehicle sensors, to increase machine learning identification of unsafe driver behavior. Starting from those signals, we computed a set of features capable to accurately describe the behavior of the driver. A support vector machine and an artificial neural network were then trained and tested using several features calculated over more than 200 km of travel. The ground truth used to evaluate classification performances was obtained by means of an objective methodology based on the relationship between speed, and lateral and longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. The classification results showed an average accuracy of about 88% using the SVM classifier and of about 90% using the neural network demonstrating the potential capability of the proposed methodology to identify unsafe driver behaviors.

Agriculture productivity is the main factor for improving economic status of India. Reduction in production rate is mainly due to various diseases in plants. Identification of plant disease in early stage is the main challenge for improving the production rate as well as economic status. This paper presents automatic disease detection in cotton crop for three types of diseases Alternaria Leaf Spot Fungal Disease (ALSFD), Grey Mildew Cotton Disease (GMCD), and Rust Foliar Fungal Disease (RFFD). The K-means clustering algorithm is used for disease segmentation for cotton leaf. The diseased cluster is segmented into three clusters. From cluster 2 the features Mean , Contrast, Energy, Correlation, Standard Deviation, Variance , Entropy, and Kurtosis are extracted. The extracted features for 30 samples are given to Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers for disease classification. The performance of these classifiers are compared. The ALSF disease is classified 77.4% for ANN and 84.3% for SVM, GMC disease is 87.8% for ANN and 98.7% in SVM, RFF disease is 90.1%for ANN and 93.2% for SVM. The overall average accuracy of ANN classifier is 85.1% for three diseases and overall average accuracy for SVM is 92.06% for three diseases. It is clearly observed from the analysis SVM classifier gives accurate disease detection compared to ANN.

Agriculture is an important sector in Economic and Social life. Crop disease detection is an emerging field in India. We can minimize the diseases infection on sugarcane leaf by detecting and grading the leaf disease in early stages. In this paper, we are detecting and recognize Sugar cane leaf diseases by using grey scale and color image processing and analyze the efficacy by comparing both. In grey scale processing, we presented Gradient Magnitude, Otsu method, Morphological Operations and Normalization to extract the Region of interest (ROI) i.e., disease part. In color processing initially converted RGB to L*a*b format, later K-means clustering and edge detection operations are applied on L*a*b image format. The features of Grey scale & color processed image are extracted and feed to Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier which classifies ring, rust & yellow spot sugarcane leaf diseases. The Sugarcane leaf diseases are classified successfully with an average accuracy of 84% & 92% for grey scale & color features respectively.

Gearboxes are mechanical devices that play an essential role in several applications, e.g., the transmission of automotive vehicles. Their malfunctioning may result in economic losses and accidents, among others. The rise of powerful graphical processing units spreads the use of deep learning-based solutions to many problems, which includes the fault diagnosis on gearboxes. Those solutions usually require a significant amount of data, high computational power, and a long training process. The training of deep learning-based systems may not be feasible when GPUs are not available. This paper proposes a solution to reduce the training time of deep learning-based fault diagnosis systems without compromising their accuracy. The solution is based on the use of a decision stage to interpret all the probability outputs of a classifier whose output layer has the softmax activation function. Two classification algorithms were applied to perform the decision. We have reduced the training time by almost 80% without compromising the average accuracy of the fault diagnosis system.

Online social networks play a major role in modern societies, and they have shaped the way social relationships evolve. Link prediction in social networks has many potential applications such as recommending new items to users, friendship suggestion and discovering spurious connections. Many real social networks evolve the connections in multiple layers (e.g. multiple social networking platforms). In this article, we study the link prediction problem in multiplex networks. As an example, we consider a multiplex network of Twitter (as a microblogging service) and Foursquare (as a location-based social network). We consider social networks of the same users in these two platforms and develop a meta-path-based algorithm for predicting the links. The connectivity information of the two layers is used to predict the links in Foursquare network. Three classical classifiers (naive Bayes, support vector machines (SVM) and K-nearest neighbour) are used for the classification task. Although the networks are not highly correlated in the layers, our experiments show that including the cross-layer information significantly improves the prediction performance. The SVM classifier results in the best performance with an average accuracy of 89%.

The widely use of P2P (Peer-to-Peer) technology has caused resources take up too much, security risks and other problems, it is necessary to detect and control P2P traffic. After analyzing current P2P detection methods, a new method called TCBDM (Traffic Characters Based Detection Method) is put forward which combines P2P traffic character with support vector machine to detect P2P traffic. By choosing P2P traffic characters which differ from other network traffic, such as Round-Trip Time (RTT), the method creates a SVM classifier, uses a package named LIBSVM to classify P2P traffic in Moore_Set data sets. The result shows that TCBDM can detect P2P traffic effectively; the accuracy could reach 98%.
