One of the most important food crops in the world is rice, which is highly affected by various plant diseases and pests. Even though there are so many methods to address the concern, detection accuracy is a hectic challenge, which needs to be boosted for an enjoyable farming environment. In the present study a rice disease detection technique was implemented by the fusion of Sailfish optimization – K-means (SCM-KM) and the Faster Region Based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) method. For the optimization of the KM clustering method, Sailfish Optimizer was coupled with the Maximum and Minimum distance algorithm, as well as Chaos theory. The 2D Filtering Mask and Weighted Multilevel Median Filter(2DFM-AMMF) were used to eliminate the sounds. With the aid of the Faster 2D-Otsu technique, the target leaf lesion was segmented from the image. The SCM-KM method is used for detection of rice disease. The Rice diseases were characterized and classified by Region Proposal Networks (RPN) and Faster R-CNN method. Comparative analysis of the SCM-KM+ Faster R-CNN method was performed using the metrics sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity. The proposed detection method produced elevated performance over similar bench marking frameworks.

The traditional methods of structural health monitoring (SHM) have obvious disadvantages such as being time-consuming, laborious and non-synchronizing, and so on. This paper presents a novel and efficient approach to detect structural damages from real-time vibration signals via a convolutional neural network (CNN). As vibration signals (acceleration) reflect the structural response to the changes of the structural state, hence, a CNN, as a classifier, can map vibration signals to the structural state and detect structural damages. As it is difficult to obtain enough damage samples in practical engineering, finite element analysis (FEA) provides an alternative solution to this problem. In this paper, training samples for the CNN are obtained using FEA of a steel frame, and the effectiveness of the proposed detection method is evaluated by inputting the experimental data into the CNN. The results indicate that, the detection accuracy of the CNN trained using FEA data reaches 94% for damages introduced in the numerical model and 90% for damages in the real steel frame. It is demonstrated that the CNN has an ideal detection effect for both single damage and multiple damages. The combination of FEA and experimental data provides enough training and testing samples for the CNN, which improves the practicability of the CNN-based detection method in engineering practice.

Plants have a great role to play in biodiversity sustenance. These natural products not only push their demand for agricultural productivity, but also for the manufacturing of medical products, cosmetics and many more. Apple is one of the fruits that is known for its excellent nutritional properties and is therefore recommended for daily intake. However, due to various diseases in apple plants, farmers have to suffer from a huge loss. This not only causes severe effects on fruit’s health, but also decreases its overall productivity, quantity, and quality. A novel convolutional neural network (CNN) based model for recognition and classification of apple leaf diseases is proposed in this paper. The proposed model applies contrast stretching based pre-processing technique and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm for the identification of plant diseases. These techniques help to improve the accuracy of CNN model even with lesser size of dataset. 400 image samples (200 healthy, 200 diseased) of apple leaves have been used to train and validate the performance of the proposed model. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 98%. To achieve this accuracy, it uses lesser data-set size as compared to other existing models, without compromising with the performance, which become possible due to use of contrast stretching pre-processing combined with FCM clustering algorithm.

The defects of solar cell component (SCC) will affect the service life and power generation efficiency. In this paper, the defect images of SCC were taken by the photoluminescence (PL) method and processed by an advanced lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN). Firstly, in order to solve the high pixel SCC image detection, each silicon wafer image was segmented based on local difference extremum of edge projection (LDEEP). Secondly, in order to detect the defects with small size or weak edges in the silicon wafer, an improved lightweight CNN model with deep backbone feature extraction network structure was proposed, as the enhancing feature fusion layer and the three-scale feature prediction layer; the model provided more feature detail. The final experimental results showed that the improved model achieves a good balance between the detection accuracy and detection speed, with the mean average precision (mAP) reaching 87.55%, which was 6.78% higher than the original algorithm. Moreover, the detection speed reached 40 frames per second (fps), which meets requirements of precision and real-time detection. The detection method can better complete the defect detection task of SCC, which lays the foundation for automatic detection of SCC defects.

Disease in plants are a great challenge in the advancement of agriculture which affects farmers yield and the plants. In this modern research deep learning models got a spot light by increasing plant detection accuracy and classification. The proposed CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) model detect seven plant diseases out of healthy leaf, where the dataset considered in this work contain 8685 leaf images from Plant Village Dataset. The proposed modals performance are evaluated with respect to the performance metrics (F1 score, Precision and Recall) and are compared with SVM and ANN. Where the proposed CNN model outperforms the rest with the accuracy of 96.2% and the F1 score greater than 95%. The feasibility of the proposed model in plant detection and classification may provide a solution to the problem faced by farmers.

Convolutional neural networks have powerful performances in many visual tasks because of their hierarchical structures and powerful feature extraction capabilities. SPD (symmetric positive definition) matrix is paid attention to in visual classification, because it has excellent ability to learn proper statistical representation and distinguish samples with different information. In this paper, a deep neural network signal detection method based on spectral convolution features is proposed. In this method, local features extracted from convolutional neural network are used to construct the SPD matrix, and a deep learning algorithm for the SPD matrix is used to detect target signals. Feature maps extracted by two kinds of convolutional neural network models are applied in this study. Based on this method, signal detection has become a binary classification problem of signals in samples. In order to prove the availability and superiority of this method, simulated and semi-physical simulated data sets are used. The results show that, under low SCR (signal-to-clutter ratio), compared with the spectral signal detection method based on the deep neural network, this method can obtain a gain of 0.5–2 dB on simulated data sets and semi-physical simulated data sets.
