Regarding the growth of crops, one of the important factors affecting crop yield is insect disasters. Since most insect species are extremely similar, insect detection on field crops, such as rice, soybean and other crops, is more challenging than generic object detection. Presently, distinguishing insects in crop fields mainly relies on manual classification, but this is an extremely time-consuming and expensive process. This work proposes a convolutional neural network model to solve the problem of multi-classification of crop insects. The model can make full use of the advantages of the neural network to comprehensively extract multifaceted insect features. During the regional proposal stage, the Region Proposal Network is adopted rather than a traditional selective search technique to generate a smaller number of proposal windows, which is especially important for improving prediction accuracy and accelerating computations. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a heightened accuracy and is superior to the state-of-the-art traditional insect classification algorithms.

Manual Classification

One of the most severe and common brain tumors is gliomas. Manual classification of injuries of this type is a laborious task in the clinical routine. Therefore, this work proposes an automatic method to classify lesions in the brain in 3D MR images based on superpixels, PSO algorithm and convolutional neural network. The proposed method obtained results for the complete, central and active regions, an accuracy of 87.88%, 70.51%, 80.08% and precision of 76%, 84%, 75% for the respective regions. The results demonstrate the difficulty of the network in the classification of the regions found in the lesions.

Papillary Muscle Level

The standard views in echocardiography capture distinct slices of the heart which can be used to assess cardiac function. Determining the view of a given echocardiogram is the first step for analysis. To automate this step, a deep network of the ResNet-18 architecture was used to classify between six standard views. The network parameters were pre-trained with the ImageNet database and prediction quality was assessed with a visualization tool known as gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM). The network was able to distinguish between three parasternal short axis views and three apical views to ~99\% accuracy. 10-fold cross validation showed a 97\%-98\% accuracy for the apical view subcategories (which included apical two-, three-, and four- chamber views). Grad-CAM images of these views highlighted features that were similar to those used by experts in manual classification. Parasternal short axis subcategories (which included apex level, mitral valve level, and papillary muscle level) had accuracies of 54\%-73\%. Grad-CAM images illustrate that the network classifies most parasternal short axis views as belonging to the papillary muscle level. Likely more images and incorporating time-dependent features would increase the parasternal short axis view accuracy. Overall, a convolutional neural network can be used to reliably classify echocardiogram views.

Breast cancer is most prevalent among women around the world and Nigeria is no exception in this menace. The increased in survival rate is due to the dramatic advancement in the screening methods, early diagnosis, and discovery in cancer treatments. There is an improvement in different strategies of breast cancer classification. A model for   training   deep   neural networks   for classification   of   breast   cancer in histopathological images was developed in this study. However, this images are affected by data unbalance with the support of active learning. The output of the neural network on unlabeled samples was used to calculate weighted information entropy. It is utilized as uncertainty score for automatic selecting both samples with high and low confidence. A threshold   that   decays over iteration number is used   to   decide which high confidence samples should be concatenated with manually labeled samples and then used infine-tuning of convolutional neural network. The neural network was optionally trained using weighted cross-entropy loss to better cope with bias towards the majority class. The developed model was compared with the existing model. The accuracy level of 98.3% was achieved for the developed model while the existing model 93.97%. The accuracy gain of 4.33%. was achieved as performance in the prediction of breast cancer .

Microseismic Signal

Due to the complexity of the various waveforms of microseismic data, there are high requirements on the automatic multi-classification of such data; an accurate classification is conducive for further signal processing and stability analysis of surrounding rock masses. In this study, a microseismic multi-classification (MMC) model is proposed based on the short time Fourier transform (STFT) technology and convolutional neural network (CNN). The real and imaginary parts of the coefficients of microseismic data are inputted to the proposed model to generate three classes of targets. Compared with existing methods, the MMC has an optimal performance in multi-classification of microseismic data in terms of Precision, Recall, and F1-score, even when the waveform of a microseismic signal is similar to that of some special noise. Moreover, semisynthetic data constructed by clean microseismic data and noise are used to prove the low sensitivity of the MMC to noise. Microseismic data recorded under different geological conditions are also tested to prove the generality of the model, and a microseismic signal with Mw ≥ 0.2 can be detected with a high accuracy. The proposed method has great potential to be extended to the study of exploration seismology and earthquakes.

The article proposes the classification of lenses with different symmetrical beam angles and offers a scale as a spot-light’s palette. A collection of spotlight’s images was created and classified according to the proposed scale. The analysis of 788 pcs of existing lenses and reflectors with different LEDs and COBs carried out, and the dependence of the axial light intensity from beam angle was obtained. A transfer training of new deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the pre-trained GoogleNet was performed using this collection. GradCAM analysis showed that the trained network correctly identifies the features of objects. This work allows us to classify arbitrary spotlights with an accuracy of about 80 %. Thus, light designer can determine the class of spotlight and corresponding type of lens with its technical parameters using this new model based on CCN.
