Garbage is a big problem for the sustainability of the environment, economy, and society, where the demand for waste increases along with the growth of society and its needs. Where in 2019 Indonesia was able to produce 66-67 million tons of waste, which is an increase from the previous year of 2 to 3 million tons of waste. Waste management efforts have been carried out by the government, including by making waste sorting regulations. This sorting is known as 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle), but most people do not sort their waste properly. In this study, a model was developed that can sort out 6 types of waste including: cardboard, glass, metal, paper, plastic, trash. The model was built using the transfer learning method with a pretrained model DenseNet169. Where the optimal results are shown for the classes that have been oversampling previously with an accuracy of 91%, an increase of 1% compared to the model that has an unbalanced data distribution. The next model optimization is done by applying the ensemble method to the four models that have been oversampled on the training dataset with the same architecture. This method shows an increase of 3% to 5%  while the final accuracy on the test of dataset is 96%.

Visual perception provides state information of current manipulation scene for control system, which plays an important role in on-orbit service manipulation. With the development of deep learning, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved many successful applications in the field of visual perception. Deep CNNs are only effective for the application condition containing a large number of training data with the same distribution as the test data; however, real space images are difficult to obtain during large-scale training. Therefore, deep CNNs can not be directly adopted for image recognition in the task of on-orbit service manipulation. In order to solve the problem of few-shot learning mentioned above, this paper proposes a knowledge graph-based image recognition transfer learning method (KGTL), which learns from training dataset containing dense source domain data and sparse target domain data, and can be transferred to the test dataset containing large number of data collected from target domain. The average recognition precision of the proposed method is 80.5%, and the average recall is 83.5%, which is higher than that of ResNet50-FC; the average precision is 60.2%, and the average recall is 67.5%. The proposed method significantly improves the training efficiency of the network and the generalization performance of the model.

AbstractThe automatic interpretation of sign languages is a challenging task, as it requires the usage of high-level vision and high-level motion processing systems for providing accurate image perception. In this paper, we use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and transfer learning to make computers able to interpret signs of the Swedish Sign Language (SSL) hand alphabet. Our model consists of the implementation of a pre-trained InceptionV3 network, and the usage of the mini-batch gradient descent optimization algorithm. We rely on transfer learning during the pre-training of the model and its data. The final accuracy of the model, based on 8 study subjects and 9400 images, is 85%. Our results indicate that the usage of CNNs is a promising approach to interpret sign languages, and transfer learning can be used to achieve high testing accuracy despite using a small training dataset. Furthermore, we describe the implementation details of our model to interpret signs as a user-friendly web application.

AbstractFast and accurate confirmation of metastasis on the frozen tissue section of intraoperative sentinel lymph node biopsy is an essential tool for critical surgical decisions. However, accurate diagnosis by pathologists is difficult within the time limitations. Training a robust and accurate deep learning model is also difficult owing to the limited number of frozen datasets with high quality labels. To overcome these issues, we validated the effectiveness of transfer learning from CAMELYON16 to improve performance of the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based classification model on our frozen dataset (N = 297) from Asan Medical Center (AMC). Among the 297 whole slide images (WSIs), 157 and 40 WSIs were used to train deep learning models with different dataset ratios at 2, 4, 8, 20, 40, and 100%. The remaining, i.e., 100 WSIs, were used to validate model performance in terms of patch- and slide-level classification. An additional 228 WSIs from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) were used as an external validation. Three initial weights, i.e., scratch-based (random initialization), ImageNet-based, and CAMELYON16-based models were used to validate their effectiveness in external validation. In the patch-level classification results on the AMC dataset, CAMELYON16-based models trained with a small dataset (up to 40%, i.e., 62 WSIs) showed a significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) of 0.929 than those of the scratch- and ImageNet-based models at 0.897 and 0.919, respectively, while CAMELYON16-based and ImageNet-based models trained with 100% of the training dataset showed comparable AUCs at 0.944 and 0.943, respectively. For the external validation, CAMELYON16-based models showed higher AUCs than those of the scratch- and ImageNet-based models. Model performance for slide feasibility of the transfer learning to enhance model performance was validated in the case of frozen section datasets with limited numbers.

Estimation of Meteorological visibility from image characteristics is a challenging problem in the research of meteorological parameters estimation. Meteorological visibility can be used to indicate the weather transparency and this indicator is important for transport safety. This paper summarizes the outcomes of the experimental evaluation of a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based transfer learning method for meteorological visibility estimation method. This paper proposes a modified approach of the transfer learning method for visibility estimation by using PSO feature selection. Image data are collected at fixed location with fixed viewing angle. The database images were gone through a pre-processing step of gray-averaging so as to provide information of static landmark objects for automatic extraction of effective regions from images. Effective regions are then extracted from image database and the image features are then extracted from the Neural Network. Subset of Image features are selected based on the Particle Swarming Optimization (PSO) methods to obtain the image feature vectors for each effective sub-region. The image feature vectors are then used to estimate the visibilities of the images by using the Multiple Support Vector Regression (SVR) models. Experimental results show that the proposed method can give an accuracy more than 90% for visibility estimation and the proposed method is effective and robust.
