Solid wood flooring has good esthetic properties and is an excellent material for interior decoration. To meet the artistic effects of specific interior decoration requirements, the color of solid wood flooring needs to be coordinated. Thus, the color of the produced solid wood flooring needs to be sorted to meet the individual needs of customers. In this work, machine vision, deep learning methods, and ensemble learning methods are introduced to reduce the cost of manual sorting and improve production efficiency. The color CCD camera was used to collect 108 solid wood floors of three color grades provided by the company and obtained 108 18,000 × 2048 pixel wood images. A total of 432 images were obtained after data expansion. Deep learning methods, such as VGG16, DenseNet121, and XGBoost, were compared. After using XGBoost to filter the features, the accuracy of solid wood flooring color classification was 97.22%, the training model time was 5.27 s, the average test time for each picture was 51 ms, and a good result was achieved.

Nowadays, the main features of Industry 4.0 are interpreted to the ability of machines to communicate with each other and with a system, increasing the production efficiency and development of the decision-making mechanisms of robots. In these cases, new analytical algorithms of Industry 4.0 are needed. By using deep learning technologies, various industrial challenging problems in Industry 4.0 can be solved. Deep learning provides algorithms that can give better results on datasets owing to hidden layers. In this chapter, deep learning methods used in Industry 4.0 are examined and explained. In addition, data sets, metrics, methods, and tools used in the previous studies are explained. This study can lead to artificial intelligence studies with high potential to accelerate the implementation of Industry 4.0. Therefore, the authors believe that it will be very useful for researchers and practitioners who want to do research on this topic.

Solid wood panels are widely used in the wood flooring and furniture industries, and paneling is an excellent material for indoor decoration. The classification of colors helps to improve the appearance of wood products assembled from multiple panels due to the differences in surface colors of solid wood panels. Traditional wood surface color classification mainly depends on workers’ visual observations, and manual color classification is prone to visual fatigue and quality instability. In order to reduce labor costs of sorting and to improve production efficiency, in this study, we introduced machine vision technology and an unsupervised learning technique. First-order color moments, second-order color moments, and color histogram peaks were selected to extract feature vectors and to realize data dimension reduction. The feature vector set was divided into different clusters by the K-means algorithm to achieve color classification and, thus, the solid wood panels with similar surface color were classified into one category. Furthermore, during twice clustering based on second-order color moment, texture recognition was realized on the basis of color classification. A sample of beech wood was selected as the research object, not only was color classification completed, but texture recognition was also realized. The experimental results verified the effectiveness of the technical proposal.

: Enhancer-promoter interactions (EPIs) in the human genome are of great significance to transcriptional regulation which tightly controls gene expression. Identification of EPIs can help us better deciphering gene regulation and understanding disease mechanisms. However, experimental methods to identify EPIs are constrained by the fund, time and manpower while computational methods using DNA sequences and genomic features are viable alternatives. Deep learning methods have shown promising prospects in classification and efforts that have been utilized to identify EPIs. In this survey, we specifically focus on sequence-based deep learning methods and conduct a comprehensive review of the literatures of them. We first briefly introduce existing sequence-based frameworks on EPIs prediction and their technique details. After that, we elaborate on the dataset, pre-processing means and evaluation strategies. Finally, we discuss the challenges these methods are confronted with and suggest several future opportunities.

Agricultural advancements have significantly impacted people’s lives and their surroundings in recent years. The insufficient knowledge of the whole agricultural production system and conventional ways of irrigation have limited agricultural yields in the past. The remote sensing innovations recently implemented in agriculture have dramatically revolutionized production efficiency by offering unparalleled opportunities for convenient, versatile, and quick collection of land images to collect critical details on the crop’s conditions. These innovations have enabled automated data collection, simulation, and interpretation based on crop analytics facilitated by deep learning techniques. This paper aims to reveal the transformative patterns of old Chinese agrarian development and fruit production by focusing on the major crop production (from 1980 to 2050) taking into account various forms of data from fruit production (e.g., apples, bananas, citrus fruits, pears, and grapes). In this study, we used production data for different fruits grown in China to predict the future production of these fruits. The study employs deep neural networks to project future fruit production based on the statistics issued by China’s National Bureau of Statistics on the total fruit growth output for this period. The proposed method exhibits encouraging results with an accuracy of 95.56% calculating by accuracy formula based on fruit production variation. Authors further provide recommendations on the AGR-DL (agricultural deep learning) method being helpful for developing countries. The results suggest that the agricultural development in China is acceptable but demands more improvement and government needs to prioritize expanding the fruit production by establishing new strategies for cultivators to boost their performance.

The interest in contactless or remote heart rate measurement has been steadily growing in healthcare and sports applications. Contactless methods involve the utilization of a video camera and image processing algorithms. Recently, deep learning methods have been used to improve the performance of conventional contactless methods for heart rate measurement. After providing a review of the related literature, a comparison of the deep learning methods whose codes are publicly available is conducted in this paper. The public domain UBFC dataset is used to compare the performance of these deep learning methods for heart rate measurement. The results obtained show that the deep learning method PhysNet generates the best heart rate measurement outcome among these methods, with a mean absolute error value of 2.57 beats per minute and a mean square error value of 7.56 beats per minute.
