Harnessing Machine Learning for Effective Waste Classification and Recycling

The world produces nearly 3.5 million tons waste every day so it is important to improve waste management and recycling system. This paper defines how machine learning can classify waste, specifically using VGG16 CNN model to classify 9 types of recyclable materials such as light bulbs, paper, plastic, organic, glass, batteries, clothes, metal and e-waste .We had used nearly 8000+ images from Google Images and Dreamstime.com to test VGG16 model and compare it with another model named as Inceptionv3. But Inceptionv3 showed higher accuracy (~90%) ,and it did not work well when tested on real data. In contrast, the VGG16 model which initially had lower accuracy of (~70%), performed better when tested on real-world scenarios. We also developed a web application which not only classifies the waste but also provides the valuable information to help people how to minimize waste reduction and maximize recycling. The classified images of the waste and its respective findings will also be shared with local authorities to enhance better recycling efforts. Hence this study focuses on need to select right models for waste classification and suggests looking into another machine learning techniques in future.

Development of an Artificial Intelligence System for Distinguishing Malignant from Benign Soft Tissue Tumors Using Contrast-Enhanced MR Images.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into orthopedics has enhanced the diagnosis of various conditions; however, its use in diagnosing soft-tissue tumors remains limited owing to its complexity. This study aimed to develop and assess an AI-driven diagnostic support system for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based soft-tissue tumor diagnosis, potentially improving accuracy and aiding radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. Experienced orthopedic oncologists and radiologists annotated 720 images from 77 cases (41 benign and 36 malignant soft-tissue tumors). Eleven tumor subtypes were identified and classified into benign and malignant groups based on histological diagnosis. Utilizing the standard machine learning classifier pipeline, we examined and down-selected imaging protocols and their predominant radiomic features within the tumor's three-dimensional region to differentiate between benign and malignant tumors. Among the scan protocols, contrast-enhanced T1 weighted fat-suppressed images showed the most accurate classification based on radiomics features. We focused on the two-dimensional features from the largest tumor boundary surface and its neighboring slices, leveraging texture-based radiomic and deep convolutional neural network features from a pretrained VGG19 model. The test data comprised 44 contrast-enhanced images (22 benign and 22 malignant soft-tissue tumors) containing six malignant and five benign subtypes distinct from the training data. We compared expert and non-expert human performances against AI by assessing malignancy detection and the time required for classification. The AI model showed comparable accuracy (AUC 0.91) to that of radiologists (AUC 0.83) and orthopedic surgeons (AUC 0.73). Notably, the AI model processed data approximately 400 times faster than its human counterparts, showcasing its capacity to significantly boost diagnostic efficiency. We developed an AI-driven diagnostic support system for MRI-based soft-tissue tumor diagnosis. While additional refinement is necessary for clinical applications, our system has exhibited promising potential in differentiating between benign and malignant soft-tissue tumors based on MRI.

Defect Detection of Polyethylene Gas Pipeline Based on Convolutional Neural Networks and Image Processing

Abstract In this paper, a method based on image recognition was proposed to detect the defects of polyethylene (PE) gas pipeline, especially the deformation due to the indentation. First, the pipeline -detection VGG (PD-VGG) model was established based on the convolutional neural network (CNN), and appropriate model parameters were optimized through model training. The defect recognition rate of the improved model can reach 94.76%. Following, the weighted average graying algorithm was used to separate the defects characterized by deformation. Then, an improved gamma correction algorithm was applied to achieve image enhancement, and the interference of impurities adhered on intersurface of pipeline was also removed by using multilayer filters. The edge detection of the defect image was completed by using the Canny operator, and following the screening between the target contour and the interference contour by using top-contour. Finally, the algorithm for minimum outer rectangle algorithm was used to fit the defect contour, and the eigenvalues of deformation defects were extracted. The results indicate that the above defect detection method can better extract the deformation contour of the dented pipeline. The high agreement with the experimental results provides a basis for the research of effectively recognizing whether the pipeline has undergone ductile failure only through profile detection of defects.

Unlocking the potential of simulated hyperspectral imaging in agro environmental analysis: a comprehensive study of algorithmic approaches

This study focuses on identifying and evaluating the severity of powdery mildew disease in tomato plants. The uniqueness of this work lies in combining the imaging and advanced deep learning methods to develop a technique that transforms Red Green Blue (RGB) images into Simulated Hyperspectral Images (SHSI) to perform spectral and spatial analysis for precise detection and assessment of powdery mildew severity, thereby enhancing disease management. Furthermore, this research evaluates three advanced pre-trained VGG16 models, ResNet50 and EfficientNet-B7 algorithms for image preprocessing and feature extraction. Extracted features are passed to a neural network generator model to convert RGB image features into SHSIs, providing insights into the spectrum. This method enables the image analysis to perform assessments from SHSIs for health classification using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values, which are meticulously compared with accurate hyperspectral data using metrics like mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE). This strategy enhances precision farming, environmental monitoring, and remote sensing accuracy. Results show that ResNet50’s architecture offers a robust framework for this study’s spectral and spatial analysis, making it a suitable choice over VGG16 and EfficientNet-B7 for transforming RGB images into SHSI. These simulated hyperspectral images offer a scalable and affordable approach for precise assessment of crop disease severity.

Auto encoder-based defense mechanism against popular adversarial attacks in deep learning.

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based models are prone to adversarial attacks, which present a significant hurdle to their reliability and robustness. The vulnerability of CNN-based models may be exploited by attackers to launch cyber-attacks. An attacker typically adds small, carefully crafted perturbations to original medical images. When a CNN-based model receives the perturbed medical image as input, it misclassifies the image, even though the added perturbation is often imperceptible to the human eye. The emergence of such attacks has raised security concerns regarding the implementation of deep learning-based medical image classification systems within clinical environments. To address this issue, a reliable defense mechanism is required to detect adversarial attacks on medical images. This study will focus on the robust detection of pneumonia in chest X-ray images through CNN-based models. Various adversarial attacks and defense strategies will be evaluated and analyzed in the context of CNN-based pneumonia detection. From earlier studies, it has been observed that a single defense mechanism is usually not effective against more than one type of adversarial attack. Therefore, this study will propose a defense mechanism that is effective against multiple attack types. A reliable defense framework for pneumonia detection models will ensure secure clinical deployment, facilitating radiologists and doctors in their diagnosis and treatment planning. It can also save time and money by automating routine tasks. The proposed defense mechanism includes a convolutional autoencoder to denoise perturbed Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) and Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) adversarial images, two state- of-the-art attacks carried out at five magnitudes, i.e., ε (epsilon) values. Two pre-trained models, VGG19 and VGG16, and our hybrid model of MobileNetV2 and DenseNet169, called Stack Model, have been used to compare their results. This study shows that the proposed defense mechanism outperforms state-of-the-art studies. The PGD attack using the VGG16 model shows a better attack success rate by reducing overall accuracy by up to 67%. The autoencoder improves accuracy by up to 16% against PGD attacks in both the VGG16 and VGG19 models.

Pruning convolution neural networks using filter clustering based on normalized cross-correlation similarity

ABSTRACT Despite all the recent development and success of deep neural networks, deployment of a deep model onto the resource-constrained devices still remains challenging. However, model pruning can resolve this issue for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), since it is one of the most popular approaches to reducing computational complexities. Therefore, this article presents a pruning model for convolutional neural networks. The proposed method classifies and arranges similar filters into the same cluster where the similarity is calculated using a three-dimensional normalized cross-correlation. Moreover, these steps can be completed entirely based on the filter values while not requiring a set of test images as well as the acquisition of any filter activation. In the research, the performances of the proposed model pruning method have been evaluated, where it is observed that the proposed approach is computationally light and requires significantly less time and resources compared to ML and activation-based approaches. In the experiments, using the VGG16 model on the Cifar10 dataset, the proposed approach results in the pruned model(s) which are comparable in performance with models found using activation-based methods and expensive ML-based methods. Similar results are found when pruning a custom CNN on the MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets as well.

Dual Stream Encoder–Decoder Architecture with Feature Fusion Model for Underwater Object Detection

Underwater surveillance is an imminent and fascinating exploratory domain, particularly in monitoring aquatic ecosystems. This field offers valuable insights into underwater behavior and activities, which have broad applications across various domains. Specifically, underwater surveillance involves detecting and tracking moving objects within aquatic environments. However, the complex properties of water make object detection a challenging task. Background subtraction is a commonly employed technique for detecting local changes in video scenes by segmenting images into the background and foreground to isolate the object of interest. Within this context, we propose an innovative dual-stream encoder–decoder framework based on the VGG-16 and ResNet-50 models for detecting moving objects in underwater frames. The network includes a feature fusion module that effectively extracts multiple-level features. Using a limited set of images and performing training in an end-to-end manner, the proposed framework yields accurate results without post-processing. The efficacy of the proposed technique is confirmed through visual and quantitative comparisons with eight cutting-edge methods using two standard databases. The first one employed in our experiments is the Underwater Change Detection Dataset, which includes five challenges, each challenge comprising approximately 1000 frames. The categories in this dataset were recorded under various underwater conditions. The second dataset used for practical analysis is the Fish4Knowledge dataset, where we considered five challenges. Each category, recorded in different aquatic settings, contains a varying number of frames, typically exceeding 1000 per category. Our proposed method surpasses all methods used for comparison by attaining an average F-measure of 0.98 on the Underwater Change Detection Dataset and 0.89 on the Fish4Knowledge dataset.

Development of a New Non-Destructive Analysis Method in Cultural Heritage with Artificial Intelligence

Cultural assets are all movable and immovable assets that have been the subject of social life in historical periods, have unique scientific and cultural value, and are located above ground, underground or underwater. Today, the fact that most of the analyses conducted to understand the technologies of these assets require sampling and that non-destructive methods that allow analysis without taking samples are costly is a problem for cultural heritage workers. In this study, which was prepared to find solutions to national and international problems, it is aimed to develop a non-destructive, cost-minimizing and easy-to-use analysis method. Since this article aimed to develop methodology, the materials were prepared for preliminary research purposes. Therefore, it was limited to four primary colors. These four primary colors were red and yellow ochre, green earth, Egyptian blue and ultramarine blue. These pigments were used with different binders. The produced paints were photographed in natural and artificial light at different light intensities and brought to a 256 × 256 pixel size, and then trained on support vector machine, convolutional neural network, densely connected convolutional network, residual network 50 and visual geometry group 19 models. It was asked whether the trained VGG19 model could classify the paints used in archaeological and artistic works analyzed with instrumental methods in the literature with their real identities. As a result of the test, the model was able to classify paints in artworks from photographs non-destructively with a 99% success rate, similar to the result of the McNemar test.

Unleashing the potential of applied UNet architectures and transfer learning in teeth segmentation on panoramic radiographs

Accurate tooth segmentation in panoramic radiographs is a useful tool for dentists to diagnose and treat dental diseases. Segmenting and labeling individual teeth in panoramic radiographs helps dentists monitor the formation of caries, detect bone loss due to periodontal disease, and determine the location and orientation of damaged teeth. It can also aid in both the planning and placement of dental implants, as well as in forensic dentistry for the identification of individuals in criminal cases or human remains. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, many deep learning-based methods are being developed and improved. Although convolutional neural networks have been extensively used in medical image segmentation, the UNet and its advanced architectures stand out for their superior segmentation capacities. This study presents four semantic segmentation UNets (Classic UNet, Attention UNet, UNet3+, and Transformer UNet) for accurate tooth segmentation in panoramic radiographs using the new Tufts Dental dataset. Each model was performed using transfer learning from ImageNet-trained VGG19 and ResNet50 models. The models achieved the best results compared to the other literature models with dice coefficients (DC) and intersection over union (IoU) of 94.64% to 96.98% and 84.27% to 94.19%, respectively. This result suggests that Unet and its variants are more suitable for segmenting panoramic radiographs and could be useful for potential dental clinical applications.

This study aims to apply image classification and semantic segmentation methods using deep learning for accurate and efficient tumor detection in brain MRI data. It looks at ways to get over issues including interpretability of the model and a lack of annotated data. A pre-trained VGG19 model and a basic convolutional neural network (CNN) were trained using a public dataset of 273 brain MRI images for the purpose of image classification. Techniques for regularization, transfer learning, and data augmentation were used. A U-Net architecture was trained using manually created masks from the same dataset for semantic segmentation, with several training setups investigated. With a mean test accuracy of 77.19%, the pre-trained VGG19 model surpassed the basic CNN in picture categorization. The U-Net model performed better for semantic segmentation after training on the entire dataset for two epochs as opposed to training on a subset for ten epochs. The work acknowledges issues including data scarcity and the requirement for model interpretability and scalability, which call for additional research, but also underlines the potential of deep learning for brain tumor identification.
