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...

Inversion Analysis Method for Tunnel and Underground Space Engineering: A Short Review

With the rise of the fourth industrial revolution, traditional methods of analyzing investment have been transformed into intelligent methods under big data and the Internet of Things. This has created a new approach to solving practical en...

Computer vision and machine‐learning techniques for quantification and predictive modeling of intracellular anticancer drug delivery by nanocarriers

Abstract The field of cancer nanomedicine has made significant progress, but its clinical translation is impeded by many challenges, such as the difficulty in analyzing intracellular anticancer drug release by the nanocarriers due to the la...

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...

Enhanced gradient learning for deep neural networks

Abstract Deep neural networks have achieved great success in both computer vision and natural language processing tasks. How to improve the gradient flows is crucial in training very deep neural networks. To address this challenge, a gradie...

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 for assistive technologies

Computer Vision: Evolution And Promise

In this paper we give a somewhat personal and perhaps biased overview of the field of Computer Vision.First, we define computer vision and give a very brief history of it.Then, we outline some of the reasons why computer vision is a very di...

A review of convolutional neural networks in computer vision

Abstract In computer vision, a series of exemplary advances have been made in several areas involving image classification, semantic segmentation, object detection, and image super-resolution reconstruction with the rapid development of dee...

Temporal Dynamics of Early Somatosensory Processing in Goal-Directed Actions.

Study of Efficiency Fractal Optical Modulator for insulator material by testing modulation transfer function

Chopper is an important component in optical system. It represents a device, which changes the angle between the coordinate and vision lines of the target for the electrical signal. The chopper modulates the optical signal by a frequency de...

Low illumination image enhancement algorithm of CycleGAN coal mine based on attention mechanism and Dilated convolution

The complex underground environment, filled with a large amount of dust and water vapor, and uneven illumination of artificial light source, leads to problems such as low illumination and loss of detail features in images collected by under...

New topic horizons for drone systems and applications

Summary This journal (Drone Systems and Applications; DSA) conducted a targeted “horizon scan” during 2022 within our team of editors and associate editors. We asked—Which research areas currently under-represented in Drone Systems and Appl...

Enhancing image caption generation through context-aware attention mechanism

Image captioning, the process of generating natural language descriptions based on image content, has garnered attention in AI research for its implications in scene understanding and human-computer interaction. While much prior research ha...

Identifying people’s energy information needs through Energy Citizen Personas

Abstract Energy Citizenship refers to individuals and communities participating, sometimes begrudgingly, in adopting energy solutions, whether sustainable or not. When enacted positively, it advances the green energy transition. There are s...
