The paper is on the detection of keratoconus a corneal progressive disorder leading to the thinning and also protrusion of the cornea associated with symptoms like astigmatism, increased sensitivity to bright light, glare, clouded vision, eye irritation, and others, In recent times there has been increasing in a number of keratoconus cases. Keratoconus is normally described as a non-inflammatory pathology. The main contribution of the paper is to facilitate detection and also classification of the keratoconus based on the progression using Convolution neural networks. The paper is about the implementation of different CNN algorithms which will classify the disorder based on the progression into 4 different classes. The CNN algorithms analyze the corneal topography of the eye and classify based on the severity of the disorder. We introduce an effective CNN model called CON-KER for the detection and classification of the disorder. Further CNN algorithms like Alexnet and Vgg 19 were implemented for the same. The results show that the CON-KER model has yielded an accuracy of 96.26% compared to other algorithms like vgg19 which yielded 94.76% and AlexNet with 86% accuracy. This work can help by assisting the ophthalmologist in reducing diagnostic errors and also help in the rapid screening of the patients.

Keratoconus (KTC) is a noninflammatory disorder characterized by progressive thinning, corneal deformation, and scarring of the cornea. The pathological mechanisms of this condition have been investigated for a long time. In recent years, this disease has come to the attention of many research centers because the number of people diagnosed with keratoconus is on the rise. In this context, solutions that facilitate both the diagnostic and treatment options are quickly needed. The main contribution of this paper is the implementation of an algorithm that is able to determine whether an eye is affected or not by keratoconus. The KeratoDetect algorithm analyzes the corneal topography of the eye using a convolutional neural network (CNN) that is able to extract and learn the features of a keratoconus eye. The results show that the KeratoDetect algorithm ensures a high level of performance, obtaining an accuracy of 99.33% on the data test set. KeratoDetect can assist the ophthalmologist in rapid screening of its patients, thus reducing diagnostic errors and facilitating treatment.

Fault diagnosis is considered as an essential task in rotary machinery as possibility of an early detection and diagnosis of the faulty condition can save both time and money. This work presents developed and novel technique for deep-learning-based data-driven fault diagnosis for rotary machinery. The proposed technique input raw three axes accelerometer signal as high definition 1D image into deep learning layers which automatically extract signal features, enabling high classification accuracy. Unlike the researches carried out by other researchers, accelerometer data matrix with dimensions 6400 × 1 × 3 is used as input for convolutional neural network training. Since convolutional neural networks can recognize patterns across input matrix, it is expected that wide input matrix containing vibration data should yield good classification performance. Using convolutional neural networks (CNN) trained model, classification in one of the four classes can be performed. Additionally, number of kernels of CNN is optimized using grid search, as preliminary studies show that alternating number of kernels impacts classification results. This study accomplished the effective classification of different rotary machinery states using convolutional artificial neural network for classification of raw three axis accelerometer signal input.

Spectral characteristics play an important role in the classification of oil film, but the presence of too many bands can lead to information redundancy and reduced classification accuracy. In this study, a classification model that combines spectral indices-based band selection (SIs) and one-dimensional convolutional neural networks was proposed to realize automatic oil films classification using hyperspectral remote sensing images. Additionally, for comparison, the minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) was tested for reducing the number of bands. The support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and Hu’s convolutional neural networks (CNN) were trained and tested. The results show that the accuracy of classifications through the one dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) models surpassed the accuracy of other machine learning algorithms such as SVM and RF. The model of SIs+1D CNN could produce a relatively higher accuracy oil film distribution map within less time than other models.

The aim of this project is to analyze high-frequency GPS location data (second per second) of individual car drivers (and trips). We extract feature information about speeds, acceleration, deceleration, and changes of direction from this high-frequency GPS location data. Time series of this feature information allow us to appropriately allocate individual car driving trips to selected drivers using convolutional neural networks.

This paper considers the problem of classifying surface water objects, e.g. ships of different classes, in visible spectrum images using convolutional neural networks. A technique for forming a database of images of surface water objects and a special training dataset for creating a classification are presented. A method for forming and training of a convolutional neural network is described. The dependence of the probability of correct recognition on the number and variants of the selection of specific classes of surface water objects is analysed. The results of recognizing different sets of classes are presented.

Using neural networks, various variations of the classification of objects can be performed. Neural networks are used in many areas of recognition. A big area in this area is text recognition. The paper considers the optimal way to build a network for text recognition, the use of optimal methods for activation functions, and optimizers. Also, the article checked the correctness of text recognition with different optimization methods. This article is devoted to the analysis of convolutional neural networks. In the article, a convolutional neural network model will be trained with a teacher. Teaching with a teacher is a type of training for neural networks in which you provide the input data and the desired result, that is, the student looking at the input data will understand that you need to strive for the result that was provided to him.

Classification of processes in heavy-ion collisions in the CBM experiment (FAIR/GSI, Darmstadt) using neural networks is investigated. Fully-connected neural networks and a deep convolutional neural network are built to identify quark–gluon plasma simulated within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) microscopic off-shell transport approach for central Au+Au collision at a fixed energy. The convolutional neural network outperforms fully-connected networks and reaches 93% accuracy on the validation set, while the remaining only 7% of collisions are incorrectly classified.

Currently, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is becoming ever more common for acquiring images in precision agriculture, either to identify characteristics of interest or to estimate plantations. However, despite this growth, their processing usually requires specialized techniques and software. During flight, UAVs may undergo some variations, such as wind interference and small altitude variations, which directly influence the captured images. In order to address this problem, we proposed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture for the classification of three linear distortions common in UAV flight: rotation, translation and perspective transformations. To train and test our CNN, we used two mosaics that were divided into smaller individual images and then artificially distorted. Results demonstrate the potential of CNNs for solving possible distortions caused in the images during UAV flight. Therefore this becomes a promising area of exploration.
