Progressive Monitoring of Micro-Dumps Using Remote Sensing: An Applicative Framework for Illegal Waste Management

Illegal dumping is one of the major issues to be addressed by public managers in both developed and developing countries. The adequate tackling and enforcement of such unlawful activities require continuous territory monitoring, the lack of which is the principal cause of the failure of traditional systems based on patrolling, eventually triggered by sparse crowdsourced data. This work proposes the digitalization of the entire illegal waste management monitoring process through an innovative decision support system based on multiscale remote sensing data. These data enable the assessment of the risk level of specific areas, thus determining inspection priorities in line with the available patrolling resources. The proposed methodology provides a tool to assess the impact of diverse monitoring system parameters on overall the performance in light of the expected operating costs and to understand whether remote sensing can help a better management of illegal waste in a specific operational scenario, thus helping in the determination of the best cost–benefit trade-off. Simulation results over a demonstration scenario, based on realistic dumping/restoration dynamics and the typical performance of satellite detection systems, show that the adoption of remote sensing technologies in the monitoring process can increase the restoration capacity by about 10% compared to traditional patrolling.

A multivariate approach for fuzzy prediction interval design and its application for a climatization system forecasting

The existing uncertainties present during the operation of dynamic processes could affect the performance of modeling systems, control strategies, and fault detection systems. Because of that, the study of uncertainty quantification and the design of prediction intervals has recently gained interest in representing the effect of uncertainty on future process behavior. However, these tools have been designed to focus on applying multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems. For this reason, this work aims to design a novel multiple-variable uncertainty region that results from the adaptation of prediction interval methods to a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) framework. To achieve this goal, the algorithm integrates the information provided by the prediction intervals identified for each separate output variable and the covariance matrix of the past error vectors to determine the ellipsoid region that will contain the future values of the modeled MIMO system. How this proposal handles the uncertainty effect of these multiple output variables is tested over simulated data from a coupled Hénon map and real data from a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. The simulation results achieved in this work show the proposal’s effectiveness in characterizing the uncertainty of multiple variables simultaneously when compared to applying the direct combination of multiple MISO prediction intervals.

Twist detection Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on optical vernier effect and its phase demodulation system

Fiber interferometric sensor can achieve sensing enhancement of various physical quantities based on the optical vernier effect, but there are currently no proposed torsion detection enhancement schemes. In this paper, we control the number of cladding modes in the sensing single-mode fiber by graded index fiber collimator and form a dual beam interference with the core mode, resulting in a transmission spectrum with regular waveform. The experimental results indicate that the sensing Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) has a torsional sensitivity of −0.014 nm/(rad/m) within a large detection range of 0–60 rad/m. After amplification by optical cursor effect, it reaches −0.361 nm/(rad/m) with an amplification factor of 25.8 times, the detection limit for envelope valley is 0.345 rad/m. The sensor has a relatively small response to other physical quantities, with a strain sensitivity of 20.4 pm/με, a temperature sensitivity of 1.792 nm/℃, and a refractive index sensitivity of 77.885 nm/RIU, exhibiting excellent anti refractive index crosstalk performance. In addition, we discuss the phase demodulation scheme for interferometric sensor based on optical vernier effect sensitivity enhancement for the first time, which can filter out noise caused by dispersion or loss, eliminate the influence of the initial phase of the sensing system, and evaluate the direction of improving the detection performance of the phase demodulation system.

An effective ensemble classification framework for intrusion detection system using LSTM autoencoder

In intrusion detection, the curse of dimensionality and the trade-off between maintaining a low false alarm rate and achieving a high detection rate are significant challenges. This research suggests a unique strategy based on dimensionality reduction methods to improve the performance of network intrusion detection systems (NIDS). Compressing high-dimensional network traffic data using a Long Short-Term Memory Autoencoder (LSTMAE) allows the reduced characteristics to be submitted to a classifier to identify anomalies that may indicate an attack. Using standard datasets, including Network Security Laboratory - Knowledge Discovery in Datasets (NSL-KDD), UNSW-NB15, and Canadian Institute for Cyber Security - Intrusion Detection Systems (CICIDS2017), the proposed model is tested with classifiers like Random Forest (RF) and LightGBM (Light Gradient Boosting Machines). It is hoped that by adopting this method, NIDS response times may be improved while costs associated with storing and processing data are minimized. Precision, recall, F-score, accuracy, detection rate (DR), and false alarm rate (FAR) are only a few of the performance measures used to assess the quality of the suggested models. The experimental findings show that the proposed LSTMAE model reduces prediction errors more effectively than classic machine learning techniques such as Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Deep Belief Networks (DBN), Deep Neural Networks (DNN), Autoencoder (AE), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The results also show that the proposed solution outperforms the state-of-the-art methods of detection accuracy and computing complexity using accuracy, precision, recall, F1_Score, detection rate, and FAR.

A calibration methodology for the novel radioluminescence detector systems

Radioluminescence mapping using well-characterized and optimized optical systems is an effective method for localizing contamination with alpha-emitting radionuclides. To apply this novel approach to radiological emergency management, nuclear safeguards, nuclear decommissioning, and nuclear forensics, an established traceability chain is required. This work presents the development and implementation of a novel calibration methodology to provide valuable information about, and confidence in, the performance of radioluminescence detection systems. The proposed calibration methodology is based on two complementary approaches: (a) application of well-characterized activity standards to establish a traceable relationship between radioluminescence intensity and alpha activity, and (b) use of all optical radiation-based devices that, when calibrated against an alpha activity standard, simulate the radioluminescence induced in nitrogen (N2) and nitric oxide (NO) gases by alpha particles in specific spectral regions. A dedicated 210Po alpha activity standard with a narrow peak of less than 32keV FWHM at 5.3MeV has been developed and used to characterize a lens-based radioluminescence detection system in terms of its sensitivity to alpha-induced radioluminescence in different atmospheres (air, N2, N2 ＋ NO mixture) in the UV-A and UV-C (solar blind) spectral regions. The characterized lens system was then used as an intermediary transfer device to cross-calibrate two portable integrating sphere-based radiance standards designed to simulate radioluminescence in the UV-A and UV-C spectral regions. Both radiance standards can be used as transfer standards simulating up to 510MBq when used in the UV-A and up to 8.7GBq when used in the UV-C spectral regions. They substantially simplify routine quality control of radioluminescence detection systems by eliminating the need for open alpha sources, which are always associated with strict radiation safety precautions. Furthermore, since radiance standards can operate in a wide range of intensities, linearity and detection limits of radioluminescence detectors can be readily determined. The design, construction, radiometric characterization, and calibration of dedicated transfer standards, as well as the development of new calibration procedures for radiometric traceability of radioluminescence detection systems, will enable appropriate accident and post-accident radiation measurements that will lead to more effective countermeasures and better protection of people, wildlife, and the environment.

Three layer hybrid learning to improve intrusion detection system performance

In imbalanced network traffic, malicious cyberattacks can be hidden in a large amount of normal traffic, making it difficult for intrusion detection systems (IDS) to detect them. Therefore, anomaly-based IDS with machine learning is the solution. However, a single machine learning cannot accurately detect all types of attacks. Therefore, a hybrid model that combines long short-term memory (LSTM) and random forest (RF) in three layers is proposed. Building the hybrid model starts with Nearmiss-2 class balancing, which reduces normal samples without increasing minority samples. Then, feature selection is performed using chi-square and RF. Next, hyperparameter tuning is performed to obtain the optimal model. In the first and second layers, LSTM and RF are used for binary classification to detect normal data and attack data. While the third layer model uses RF for multiclass classification. The hybrid model verified using the CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset, showed better performance compared to the single algorithm. For multiclass classification, the hybrid model achieved 99.76% accuracy, 99.76% precision, 99.76% recall, and 99.75% F1-score.

Mastering Deepfake Detection: A Cutting-Edge Approach to Distinguish GAN and Diffusion-Model Images

Detecting and recognizing deepfakes is a pressing issue in the digital age. In this study, we first collected a dataset of pristine images and fake ones properly generated by nine different Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architectures and four Diffusion Models (DM). The dataset contained a total of 83,000 images, with equal distribution between the real and deepfake data. Then, to address different deepfake detection and recognition tasks, we proposed a hierarchical multi-level approach. At the first level, we classified real images from AI-generated ones. At the second level, we distinguished between images generated by GANs and DMs. At the third level (composed of two additional sub-levels), we recognized the specific GAN and DM architectures used to generate the synthetic data. Experimental results demonstrated that our approach achieved more than 97% classification accuracy, outperforming existing state-of-the-art methods. The models obtained in the different levels turn out to be robust to various attacks such as JPEG compression (with different quality factor values) and resize (and others), demonstrating that the framework can be used and applied in real-world contexts (such as the analysis of multimedia data shared in the various social platforms) for support even in forensic investigations in order to counter the illicit use of these powerful and modern generative models. We are able to identify the specific GAN and DM architecture used to generate the image, which is critical in tracking down the source of the deepfake. Our hierarchical multi-level approach to deepfake detection and recognition shows promising results in identifying deepfakes allowing focus on underlying task by improving (about \(2\% \) on the average) standard multiclass flat detection systems. The proposed method has the potential to enhance the performance of deepfake detection systems, aid in the fight against the spread of fake images, and safeguard the authenticity of digital media.

The first step involves feature selection for the NSL-KDD and CIC-IDS2017 datasets which are used to train and test our model. Subsequently, an autoencoder is employed as a classifier to categorize data traffic into attack and normal categories. The results from our experimental study revealed an accuracy of 94.32% and 97.71% for the NSL-KDD and CIC-IDS2017 datasets, respectively. These results demonstrate improved performance over existing IDS systems.
