To detect the categories and positions of various transformer components in inspection images automatically, this paper proposes a transformer component detection model with high detection accuracy, based on the structure of Faster R-CNN. In consideration of the significant difference in component sizes, double feature maps are used to adapt to the size change, by adjusting two weights dynamically according to the object size. Moreover, different from the detection of ordinary objects, there is abundant useful information contained in the relative positions between components. Thus, the relative position features are defined and introduced to the refinement of the detection results. Then, the training process and detection process are proposed specifically for the improved model. Finally, an experiment is given to compare the accuracy and efficiency of the improved model and the original Faster R-CNN, along with other object detection models. Results show that the improved model has an obvious advantage in accuracy, and the efficiency is significantly higher than that of manual detection, which suggests that the model is suitable for practical engineering applications.

AbstractThis article mainly focuses on the most common types of high-speed railways malfunctions in overhead contact systems, namely, unstressed droppers, foreign-body invasions, and pole number-plate malfunctions, to establish a deep-network detection model. By fusing the feature maps of the shallow and deep layers in the pretraining network, global and local features of the malfunction area are combined to enhance the network's ability of identifying small objects. Further, in order to share the fully connected layers of the pretraining network and reduce the complexity of the model, Tucker tensor decomposition is used to extract features from the fused-feature map. The operation greatly reduces training time. Through the detection of images collected on the Lanxin railway line, experiments result show that the proposed multiview Faster R-CNN based on tensor decomposition had lower miss probability and higher detection accuracy for the three types faults. Compared with object-detection methods YOLOv3, SSD, and the original Faster R-CNN, the average miss probability of the improved Faster R-CNN model in this paper is decreased by 37.83%, 51.27%, and 43.79%, respectively, and average detection accuracy is increased by 3.6%, 9.75%, and 5.9%, respectively.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) inspection has become one of main methods for current transmission line inspection, but there are still some shortcomings such as slow detection speed, low efficiency, and inability for low light environment. To address these issues, this paper proposes a deep learning detection model based on You Only Look Once (YOLO) v3. On the one hand, the neural network structure is simplified, that is the three feature maps of YOLO v3 are pruned into two to meet specific detection requirements. Meanwhile, the K-means++ clustering method is used to calculate the anchor value of the data set to improve the detection accuracy. On the other hand, 1000 sets of power tower and insulator data sets are collected, which are inverted and scaled to expand the data set, and are fully optimized by adding different illumination and viewing angles. The experimental results show that this model using improved YOLO v3 can effectively improve the detection accuracy by 6.0%, flops by 8.4%, and the detection speed by about 6.0%.

Abstract The pathologists’ workload is very heavy because they have to identify and diagnose a large number of histological images in daily work. So, there is an urgent need to develop a method for detecting and identifying skin cancer. Basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and Bowen’s disease (squamous cell carcinoma in situ) are common malignant skin cancers. In this paper, we focus on the study of YOLO detection model in object detection, and use the YOLOv3 model to detect and identify BCC and Bowen disease. The results show that the model can effectively detect most lesions. Through the structural analysis of the YOLOv3 model algorithm, it is found that the number of convolutional feature maps in some layers’ changes drastically. So, a new convolutional layer is added to gradually reduce the number of feature maps, and then an improved YOLOv3 algorithm is proposed. The improved algorithm is used to detect the lesions of the BCC and the Bowen’s disease. The results show that the improved model algorithm has better detection performance. Under the condition of threshold value of 0.7, the recognition accuracy of BCC and Bowen's disease is 91.3% and 90.9% respectively.

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major winter wheat disease in China. The accurate and timely detection of wheat FHB is vital to scientific field management. By combining three types of spectral features, namely, spectral bands (SBs), vegetation indices (VIs), and wavelet features (WFs), in this study, we explore the potential of using hyperspectral imagery obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to detect wheat FHB. First, during the wheat filling period, two UAV-based hyperspectral images were acquired. SBs, VIs, and WFs that were sensitive to wheat FHB were extracted and optimized from the two images. Subsequently, a field-scale wheat FHB detection model was formulated, based on the optimal spectral feature combination of SBs, VIs, and WFs (SBs + VIs + WFs), using a support vector machine. Two commonly used data normalization algorithms were utilized before the construction of the model. The single WFs, and the spectral feature combination of optimal SBs and VIs (SBs + VIs), were respectively used to formulate models for comparison and testing. The results showed that the detection model based on the normalized SBs + VIs + WFs, using min–max normalization algorithm, achieved the highest R2 of 0.88 and the lowest RMSE of 2.68% among the three models. Our results suggest that UAV-based hyperspectral imaging technology is promising for the field-scale detection of wheat FHB. Combining traditional SBs and VIs with WFs can improve the detection accuracy of wheat FHB effectively.

Extensive research efforts have been devoted to identify and improve roadway features that impact safety. Maintaining roadway safety features relies on costly manual operations of regular road surveying and data analysis. This paper introduces an automatic roadway safety features detection approach, which harnesses the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) computer vision to make the process more efficient and less costly. Given a front-facing camera and a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, the proposed system automatically evaluates ten roadway safety features. The system is composed of an oriented (or rotated) object detection model, which solves an orientation encoding discontinuity problem to improve detection accuracy, and a rule-based roadway safety evaluation module. To train and validate the proposed model, a fully-annotated dataset for roadway safety features extraction was collected covering 473 km of roads. The proposed method baseline results are found encouraging when compared to the state-of-the-art models. Different oriented object detection strategies are presented and discussed, and the developed model resulted in improving the mean average precision (mAP) by 16.9% when compared with the literature. The roadway safety feature average prediction accuracy is 84.39% and ranges between 91.11% and 63.12%. The introduced model can pervasively enable/disable autonomous driving (AD) based on safety features of the road; and empower connected vehicles (CV) to send and receive estimated safety features, alerting drivers about black spots or relatively less-safe segments or roads.

Despite significant progress in object detection tasks, remote sensing image target detection is still challenging owing to complex backgrounds, large differences in target sizes, and uneven distribution of rotating objects. In this study, we consider model accuracy, inference speed, and detection of objects at any angle. We also propose a RepVGG-YOLO network using an improved RepVGG model as the backbone feature extraction network, which performs the initial feature extraction from the input image and considers network training accuracy and inference speed. We use an improved feature pyramid network (FPN) and path aggregation network (PANet) to reprocess feature output by the backbone network. The FPN and PANet module integrates feature maps of different layers, combines context information on multiple scales, accumulates multiple features, and strengthens feature information extraction. Finally, to maximize the detection accuracy of objects of all sizes, we use four target detection scales at the network output to enhance feature extraction from small remote sensing target pixels. To solve the angle problem of any object, we improved the loss function for classification using circular smooth label technology, turning the angle regression problem into a classification problem, and increasing the detection accuracy of objects at any angle. We conducted experiments on two public datasets, DOTA and HRSC2016. Our results show the proposed method performs better than previous methods.

In recent years, precision agriculture has been researched to increase crop production with less inputs, as a promising means to meet the growing demand of agriculture products. Computer vision-based crop detection with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-acquired images is a critical tool for precision agriculture. However, object detection using deep learning algorithms rely on a significant amount of manually prelabeled training datasets as ground truths. Field object detection, such as bales, is especially difficult because of (1) long-period image acquisitions under different illumination conditions and seasons; (2) limited existing prelabeled data; and (3) few pretrained models and research as references. This work increases the bale detection accuracy based on limited data collection and labeling, by building an innovative algorithms pipeline. First, an object detection model is trained using 243 images captured with good illimitation conditions in fall from the crop lands. In addition, domain adaptation (DA), a kind of transfer learning, is applied for synthesizing the training data under diverse environmental conditions with automatic labels. Finally, the object detection model is optimized with the synthesized datasets. The case study shows the proposed method improves the bale detecting performance, including the recall, mean average precision (mAP), and F measure (F1 score), from averages of 0.59, 0.7, and 0.7 (the object detection) to averages of 0.93, 0.94, and 0.89 (the object detection + DA), respectively. This approach could be easily scaled to many other crop field objects and will significantly contribute to precision agriculture.

AbstractIn order to monitor the high-level landslides frequently occurring in Jinsha River area of Southwest China, and protect the lives and property safety of people in mountainous areas, the data of satellite remote sensing images are combined with various factors inducing landslides and transformed into landslide influence factors, which provides data basis for the establishment of landslide detection model. Then, based on the deep belief networks (DBN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, two landslide detection models DBN and convolutional neural-deep belief network (CDN) are established to monitor the high-level landslide in Jinsha River. The influence of the model parameters on the landslide detection results is analyzed, and the accuracy of DBN and CDN models in dealing with actual landslide problems is compared. The results show that when the number of neurons in the DBN is 100, the overall error is the minimum, and when the number of learning layers is 3, the classification error is the minimum. The detection accuracy of DBN and CDN is 97.56% and 97.63%, respectively, which indicates that both DBN and CDN models are feasible in dealing with landslides from remote sensing images. This exploration provides a reference for the study of high-level landslide disasters in Jinsha River.

Background: Power line inspection is essential to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system. Object detection for tower equipment can significantly improve inspection efficiency. However, due to the low resolution of small targets and limited features, the detection accuracy of small targets is not easy to improve. Objective: This study aimed to improve the tiny targets’ resolution while making the small target's texture and detailed features more prominent to be perceived by the detection model. Methods: In this paper, we propose an algorithm that employs generative adversarial networks to improve small objects' detection accuracy. First, the original image is converted into a super-resolution one by a super-resolution reconstruction network (SRGAN). Then the object detection framework Faster RCNN is utilized to detect objects on the super-resolution images. Result: The experimental results on two small object recognition datasets show that the model proposed in this paper has good robustness. It can especially detect the targets missed by Faster RCNN, which indicates that SRGAN can effectively enhance the detailed information of small targets by improving the resolution. Conclusion: We found that higher resolution data is conducive to obtaining more detailed information of small targets, which can help the detection algorithm achieve higher accuracy. The small object detection model based on the generative adversarial network proposed in this paper is feasible and more efficient. Compared with Faster RCNN, this model has better performance on small object detection.

There are several malware detection techniques available that are based on a signature-based approach. This approach can detect known malware very effectively but sometimes may fail to detect unknown or zero-day attacks. In this article, the authors have proposed a malware detection model that uses operation codes of malicious and benign executables as the feature. The proposed model uses opcode extract and count (OPEC) algorithm to prepare the opcode feature vector for the experiment. Most relevant features are selected using extra tree classifier feature selection technique and then passed through several supervised learning algorithms like support vector machine, naive bayes, decision tree, random forest, logistic regression, and k-nearest neighbour to build classification models for malware detection. The proposed model has achieved a detection accuracy of 98.7%, which makes this model better than many of the similar works discussed in the literature.
