Plant disease detection technology is an important part of the intelligent agricultural Internet of Things monitoring system. The real natural environment requires the plant disease detection system to have extremely high real time detection and accuracy. The lightweight network MobileNetv2-YOLOv3 model can meet the real-time detection, but the accuracy is not enough to meet the actual needs. This study proposed a multiscale parallel algorithm MP-YOLOv3 based on the MobileNetv2-YOLOv3 model. The proposed method put forward a multiscale feature fusion method, and an efficient channel attention mechanism was introduced into the detection layer of the network to achieve feature enhancement. The parallel detection algorithm was used to effectively improve the detection performance of multiscale tomato gray mold lesions while ensuring the real-time performance of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can accurately and real-time detect multiscale tomato gray mold lesions in a real natural environment. The F1 score and the average precision reached 95.6 and 93.4% on the self-built tomato gray mold detection dataset. The model size was only 16.9 MB, and the detection time of each image was 0.022 s.

In this study, a SPAD value detection system was developed based on a 25-wavelength spectral sensor to give a real-time indication of the nutrition distribution of potato plants in the field. Two major advantages of the detection system include the automatic segmentation of spectral images and the real-time detection of SPAD value, a recommended indicating parameter of chlorophyll content. The modified difference vegetation index (MDVI) linking the Otsu algorithm (OTSU) and the connected domain-labeling (CDL) method (MDVI–OTSU–CDL) is proposed to accurately extract the potato plant. Additionally, the segmentation accuracy under different modified coefficients of MDVI was analyzed. Then, the reflectance of potato plants was extracted by the segmented mask images. The partial least squares (PLS) regression was employed to establish the SPAD value detection model based on sensitive variables selected using the uninformative variable elimination (UVE) algorithm. Based on the segmented spectral image and the UVE–PLS model, the visualization distribution map of SPAD value was drawn by pseudo-color processing technology. Finally, the testing dataset was employed to measure the stability and practicality of the developed detection system. This study provides a powerful support for the real-time detection of SPAD value and the distribution of crops in the field.

Background: Valvular heart disease is a serious disease leading to mortality and increasing medical care cost. The aortic valve is the most common valve affected by this disease. Doctors rely on echocardiogram for diagnosing and evaluating valvular heart disease. However, the images from echocardiogram are poor in comparison to Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. This study proposes the development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) that can function optimally during a live echocardiographic examination for detection of the aortic valve. An automated detection system in an echocardiogram will improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis and can provide further medical analysis from the resulting detection. Methods: Two detection architectures, Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD) and Faster Regional based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) with various feature extractors were trained on echocardiography images from 33 patients. Thereafter, the models were tested on 10 echocardiography videos. Results: Faster R-CNN Inception v2 had shown the highest accuracy (98.6%) followed closely by SSD Mobilenet v2. In terms of speed, SSD Mobilenet v2 resulted in a loss of 46.81% in framesper- second (fps) during real-time detection but managed to perform better than the other neural network models. Additionally, SSD Mobilenet v2 used the least amount of Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) but the Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage was relatively similar throughout all models. Conclusion: Our findings provide a foundation for implementing a convolutional detection system to echocardiography for medical purposes.

The equipment, called detection platform of the cylinders, is used for detecting cylinders so that cylinders can be at ease use. In order to transmit the real-time detection data to PC for further processing, the platform should be connected with PC. Cable connection, in some production and environmental conditions, is limited. Under the circumstance, building wireless network is the better choice. Through comparative studying, ZigBee is chosen to be the technology for building wireless network. ZigBee chip and ZigBee2006 protocol stack are the core components in the ZigBee nodes.

Colonoscopies reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer through early recognition and resecting of the colon polyps. However, the colon polyp miss detection rate is as high as 26% in conventional colonoscopy. The search for methods to decrease the polyp miss rate is nowadays a paramount task. A number of algorithms or systems have been developed to enhance polyp detection, but few are suitable for real-time detection or classification due to their limited computational ability. Recent studies indicate that the automated colon polyp detection system is developing at an astonishing speed. Real-time detection with classification is still a yet to be explored field. Newer image pattern recognition algorithms with convolutional neuro-network (CNN) transfer learning has shed light on this topic. We proposed a study using real-time colonoscopies with the CNN transfer learning approach. Several multi-class classifiers were trained and mAP ranged from 38% to 49%. Based on an Inception v2 model, a detector adopting a Faster R-CNN was trained. The mAP of the detector was 77%, which was an improvement of 35% compared to the same type of multi-class classifier. Therefore, our results indicated that the polyp detection model could attain a high accuracy, but the polyp type classification still leaves room for improvement.
