The pointer instrument has the advantages of being simple, reliable, stable, easy to maintain, having strong anti-interference properties, and so on, which has long occupied the main position of electrical and electric instruments. Though the pointer instrument structure is simple, it is not convenient for real-time reading of measurements. In this paper, a RK3399 microcomputer was used for real-time intelligent reading of a pointer instrument using a camera. Firstly, a histogram normalization transform algorithm was used to optimize the brightness and enhance the contrast of images; then, the feature recognition algorithm You Only Look Once 3rd (YOLOv3) was used to detect and capture the panel area in images; and Convolutional Neural Networks were used to read and predict the characteristic images. Finally, predicted results were uploaded to a server. The system realized automatic identification, numerical reading, an intelligent online reading of pointer data, which has high feasibility and practical value. The experimental results show that the recognition rate of this system was 98.71% and the reading accuracy was 97.42%. What is more, the system can accurately locate the pointer-type instrument area and read corresponding values with simple operating conditions. This achievement meets the demand of real-time readings for analog instruments.

With the ever-stringent vehicles exhaust emission standard and higher requirements on on-board diagnostic technology, the importance of misfire detection in vehicle emission control is emerging. The performance of a traditional misfire detection algorithm predominantly depends on the features and classifier selected. Fixed and handcrafted features require either a reliable dynamic model of an engine or a large number of experiment data to define the threshold, and then, form a map. Since convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have an inherent adaptive design and integrate the feature extraction with classification functions into a compact learning framework, the misfire fault-sensitive features can be auto-discovered from raw speed signals. Furthermore, CNNs can detect the fault features of the misfire through network training with fewer engine operating conditions. In this paper, the theory and method of the misfire diagnosis based on CNNs are presented. The experimental data for network training and testing are sampled on a six-cylinder inline diesel engine. The misfire patterns containing every one-cylinder and two-cylinder misfire are tested under the wide speed and load conditions of the engine. The results show that when the engine operates under steady-state conditions, one-cylinder or two-cylinder complete misfires can be detected accurately by CNNs. In addition, one-cylinder partial misfire is employed to examine the adaptability of trained 1-D CNN. It turns out that when the partial misfire reaches the same level as half amount of the normal fuel injection quantity, one-cylinder partial misfire can be detected with accuracy more than 96%. At last, the misfire detection under the non-stationary conditions, such as acceleration or deceleration, is conducted. The results show the 1-D CNN performed well in a limited acceleration range, and network failure occurs when the absolute acceleration of the engine speed is more than 100 r/min/s.

Classification of degraded images is very important in practice because images are usually degraded by compression, noise, blurring, etc. Nevertheless, most of the research in image classification only focuses on clean images without any degradation. Some papers have already proposed deep convolutional neural networks composed of an image restoration network and a classification network to classify degraded images. This paper proposes an alternative approach in which we use a degraded image and an additional degradation parameter for classification. The proposed classification network has two inputs which are the degraded image and the degradation parameter. The estimation network of degradation parameters is also incorporated if degradation parameters of degraded images are unknown. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms a straightforward approach where the classification network is trained with degraded images only.
