Sexual dimorphisms of the olfactory system are conserved across bumblebee species.

Aphid-ResNetSwin: An Image Recognition Method with Improved Attention Mechanism for Graded Identification of <i>Myzus persicae</i>

Myzus persicae is the most devastating piercing-sucking pest threatening tobacco production. Precise quantification of infestation severity is a prerequisite for precision pest management, making the integration of visual image analysis hig...

Machine eye for defects: Machine learning-based solution to identify and characterize topological defects in textured images of nematic materials

Topological defects play a key role in the structures and dynamics of liquid crystals and other ordered systems. There is a recent interest in studying defects in different biological systems with distinct textures. However, a robust method...

A Comparative Study of Physically Accurate Synthetic Shadow Datasets in Agricultural Settings with Human Activity

Shadow, a natural phenomenon resulting from the absence of light, plays a pivotal role in agriculture, particularly in processes such as photosynthesis in plants. Despite the availability of generic shadow datasets, many suffer from annotat...

Part‐level attention networks for cross‐domain person re‐identification

Abstract Person re‐identification (Re‐ID) is in significant demand for intelligent security and single or multiple‐target tracking. However, there are issues in the person Re‐ID tasks, such as sharp decline in cross‐data sets detection accu...

Multi-scale attention and collaborative fusion for enhanced RGB-D salient object detection in weld quality inspection

Abstract Salient object detection (SOD) plays a crucial role in computer vision by mimicking human visual attention to identify and segment the most prominent objects in a scene. The advent of depth sensing technologies has propelled RGB-D ...

Potential of machine learning approaches for predicting mechanical properties of spruce wood in the transverse direction

Abstract To predict the mechanical properties of wood in the transverse direction, this study used machine learning to extract the anatomical features of wood from cross-sectional stereograms. Specimens with different orientations of the ra...

Hard exudate segmentation in retinal image with attention mechanism

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the main reason that causes preventable blindness. Hard exudate is one of the earliest signs of diabetic retinopathy. Precise detection of hard exudate is helpful for the early diagnosis of diabetic ret...

Robust regression methods for computer vision: A review

AI and Chatbot-Supported Interventions for Physical Activity and Obesity-Related Lifestyle Behaviors: Scoping Review With Attention to Family Involvement

Abstract BackgroundAI-enabled chatbots and related conversational systems can facilitate human–computer interaction through natural language, personalization, and automated support. In pediatric health promotion, these tools hav...

Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1)

Strong gravitational lensing (SL) by galaxy clusters is a powerful probe of their inner mass distribution and a key test bed for cosmological models. However, the detection of SL events in wide-field surveys such as Euclid requires robust a...

LeafNST: an improved data augmentation method for classification of plant disease using object-based neural style transfer

Abstract Plant diseases significantly threaten global agriculture, impacting crop yield and food security. Nearly 30% of the crop yield is lost due to plant diseases. Efficient identification and classification of plant diseases through com...

Distribution of Marbling Throughout the M. Longissimus Thoracis et Lumborum of Beef Carcasses Using an Instrument-Grading System

Beef Loin, Strip Loins (IMPS #180; n = 20) with marbling scores between Modest00 and Modest30 at the 12th and 13th rib interface of the M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LL) were collected. Each strip loin was fabricated into 6 samples t...

Non-Sinusoidal micro-Doppler Estimation Based on Dual-Branch Network

The fine state of targets can be represented by the extracted micro-Doppler (m-D) components from the radar echo. However, current methods do not consider the specialty of the m-D components, and their performance with non-sinusoidal compon...

Computer vision technology in agricultural automation —A review

Computer vision is a field that involves making a machine “see”. This technology uses a camera and computer instead of the human eye to identify, track and measure targets for further image processing. With the development of computer visio...
