Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to solve problems of detecting copy-move images. With input images, the problem aims to: Confirm the original or forgery of the images, evaluate the performance of the detection and compare the proposed method’s effectiveness to the related ones.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper proposes an algorithm to identify copy-move images by matching the characteristics of objects in the same group. The method is carried out through two stages of grouping the objects and comparing objects’ features. The classification and clustering can improve processing time by skipping groups of only one object, and feature comparison on objects in the same group improves accuracy of the detection. YOLO5, the latest version of you only look once (YOLO) developed by Ultralytics LLC, and K-means are applied to classify and group the objects in the first stage. Then, modified Zernike moments (MZMs) and correlation coefficients are used for the features extraction and matching in the second stage. The Open Images V6 data set is used to train the YOLO5 model. The combination of YOLO5 and MZM makes the effectiveness of the proposed method for copy-move image detection with an average accuracy of 94.26% for images of benchmark and MICC-F600 and 95.37% for natural images. The outstanding feature of the method is that it can balance both processing time and accuracy in detecting duplicate regions on the image.

Findings

The problem is then solved by doing the following steps: Build a method to detect objects and compare their features to find the similarity if they are copy-move objects; use YOLO5 for the object detection and group the same category objects; ignore the group having only one object and extract the features of the other groups by MZMs; detect copy-move regions using K-means clustering; and calculate and compare the detection accuracy of the proposed method and related methods.

Originality/value

The main contributions of this paper include: Reduce the processing time by using YOLO5 in objects detection and K-means in clustering; improve the accuracy by using MZM to extract features and correlation coefficients to matching them; and implement and prove the effectiveness of the proposed method for three copy-move data sets: benchmark, MICC-F600 and author-built images.

Abstract

Purpose

The study aims to enhance the detection and classification of conjunctival eye diseases' severity through the development of ConjunctiveNet, an innovative deep learning framework. This model incorporates advanced preprocessing techniques and utilizes a modified Otsu’s method for improved image segmentation, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in healthcare settings.

Design/methodology/approach

ConjunctiveNet employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) enhanced through transfer learning. The methodology integrates rescaling, normalization, Gaussian blur filtering and contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) for preprocessing. The segmentation employs a novel modified Otsu’s method. The framework’s effectiveness is compared against five pretrained CNN architectures including AlexNet, ResNet-50, ResNet-152, VGG-19 and DenseNet-201.

Findings

The study finds that ConjunctiveNet significantly outperforms existing models in accuracy for detecting various severity stages of conjunctival eye conditions. The model demonstrated superior performance in classifying four distinct severity stages – initial, moderate, high, severe and a healthy stage – offering a reliable tool for enhancing screening and diagnosis processes in ophthalmology.

Originality/value

ConjunctiveNet represents a significant advancement in the automated diagnosis of eye diseases, particularly conjunctivitis. Its originality lies in the integration of modified Otsu’s method for segmentation and its comprehensive preprocessing approach, which collectively enhance its diagnostic capabilities. This framework offers substantial value to the field by improving the accuracy and efficiency of conjunctival disease severity classification, thus aiding in better healthcare delivery.

Abstract

Purpose

The latest 2019 coronavirus (COVID-2019), which first appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan's city in China, rapidly spread around the world and became a pandemic. It has had a devastating impact on daily lives, the public's health and the global economy. The positive cases must be identified as soon as possible to avoid further dissemination of this disease and swift care of patients affected. The need for supportive diagnostic instruments increased, as no specific automated toolkits are available. The latest results from radiology imaging techniques indicate that these photos provide valuable details on the virus COVID-19. User advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and radiological imagery can help diagnose this condition accurately and help resolve the lack of specialist doctors in isolated areas. In this research, a new paradigm for automatic detection of COVID-19 with bare chest X-ray images is displayed. Images are presented. The proposed model DarkCovidNet is designed to provide correct binary classification diagnostics (COVID vs no detection) and multi-class (COVID vs no results vs pneumonia) classification. The implemented model computed the average precision for the binary and multi-class classification of 98.46% and 91.352%, respectively, and an average accuracy of 98.97% and 87.868%. The DarkNet model was used in this research as a classifier for a real-time object detection method only once. A total of 17 convolutionary layers and different filters on each layer have been implemented. This platform can be used by the radiologists to verify their initial application screening and can also be used for screening patients through the cloud.

Design/methodology/approach

This study also uses the CNN-based model named Darknet-19 model, and this model will act as a platform for the real-time object detection system. The architecture of this system is designed in such a way that they can be able to detect real-time objects. This study has developed the DarkCovidNet model based on Darknet architecture with few layers and filters. So before discussing the DarkCovidNet model, look at the concept of Darknet architecture with their functionality. Typically, the DarkNet architecture consists of 5 pool layers though the max pool and 19 convolution layers. Assume as a convolution layer, and as a pooling layer.

Findings

The work discussed in this paper is used to diagnose the various radiology images and to develop a model that can accurately predict or classify the disease. The data set used in this work is the images bases on COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 taken from the various sources. The deep learning model named DarkCovidNet is applied to the data set, and these have shown signification performance in the case of binary classification and multi-class classification. During the multi-class classification, the model has shown an average accuracy 98.97% for the detection of COVID-19, whereas in a multi-class classification model has achieved an average accuracy of 87.868% during the classification of COVID-19, no detection and Pneumonia.

Research limitations/implications

One of the significant limitations of this work is that a limited number of chest X-ray images were used. It is observed that patients related to COVID-19 are increasing rapidly. In the future, the model on the larger data set which can be generated from the local hospitals will be implemented, and how the model is performing on the same will be checked.

Originality/value

Deep learning technology has made significant changes in the field of AI by generating good results, especially in pattern recognition. A conventional CNN structure includes a convolution layer that extracts characteristics from the input using the filters it applies, a pooling layer that reduces calculation efficiency and the neural network's completely connected layer. A CNN model is created by integrating one or more of these layers, and its internal parameters are modified to accomplish a specific mission, such as classification or object recognition. A typical CNN structure has a convolution layer that extracts features from the input with the filters it applies, a pooling layer to reduce the size for computational performance and a fully connected layer, which is a neural network. A CNN model is created by combining one or more such layers, and its internal parameters are adjusted to accomplish a particular task, such as classification or object recognition.

Abstract

Purpose

The density method is one of the powerful topology optimization methods of magnetic devices. The density method has the advantage that it has a high degree of freedom of shape expression which results in a high-performance design. On the other hand, it has also the drawback that unsuitable shapes for actually manufacturing are likely to be generated, e.g. checkerboards or grayscale. The purpose of this paper is to develop a method that enables topology optimization suitable for fabrication while taking advantage of the density method.

Design/methodology/approach

This study proposes a novel topology optimization method that combines convolutional neural network (CNN) as an effective smoothing filter with the density method and apply the method to the shield design with magnetic nonlinearity.

Findings

This study demonstrated some numerical examples verifying that the proposed method enables to efficiently obtain a smooth and easy-to-manufacture shield shape with high shielding ability. A network architecture suitable as smoothing filter was also exemplified.

Originality/value

In the field of magnetic field analysis, very few studies have verified the usefulness of smoothing by using CNN in the topology optimization of magnetic devices. This paper develops a novel topology optimization method that skillfully combines CNN with the nonlinear magnetic field analysis and also clarifies a suitable network architecture that makes it possible to obtain a target device shape that is easy to manufacture while minimizing the objective function value.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to obtain methods to identify and find the place of damage, which is one of the topics that has always been discussed in structural engineering. The cost of repairing and rehabilitating massive bridges and buildings is very high, highlighting the need to monitor the structures continuously. One way to track the structure's health is to check the cracks in the concrete. Meanwhile, the current methods of concrete crack detection have complex and heavy calculations.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper presents a new lightweight architecture based on deep learning for crack classification in concrete structures. The proposed architecture was identified and classified in less time and with higher accuracy than other traditional and valid architectures in crack detection. This paper used a standard dataset to detect two-class and multi-class cracks.

Findings

Results show that two images were recognized with 99.53% accuracy based on the proposed method, and multi-class images were classified with 91% accuracy. The low execution time of the proposed architecture compared to other valid architectures in deep learning on the same hardware platform. The use of Adam's optimizer in this research had better performance than other optimizers.

Originality/value

This paper presents a framework based on a lightweight convolutional neural network for nondestructive monitoring of structural health to optimize the calculation costs and reduce execution time in processing.

Abstract

Purpose

Deep-learning techniques are recently gaining a lot of importance in the field of turbulence. This study focuses on addressing the problem of data imbalance to improve the performance of an existing deep learning neural network to infer the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes solution, proposed by Thuerey et al. (2020), in the cases of airfoils with high wake formation behind them. The model is based on a U-Net architecture, which calculates pressure and velocity solutions for fluid flow around an airfoil.

Design/methodology/approach

In this work, we propose various methods for training the model on selectively generated data with different distributions, which would be representative of the under-performing test samples. The property we chose for selectively generating data was the fraction of negative x-velocity in the domain. We have used Grad-CAM to compare the layer activations of different models trained using the proposed methods.

Findings

We observed that using our methods, the average performance on the samples with high wake formation (i.e. flow over airfoils at high angle of attack) has improved. Using one of the proposed methods, an average performance improvement of 15.65% was observed for samples of unknown airfoils compared to a similar model trained using the original method.

Originality/value

This work demonstrates the use of imbalanced learning in the field of fluid mechanics. The performance of the model is improved by giving significance to the distribution of the training data without changes to the model architecture.

Abstract

Purpose

Coil shape quality is the external representation of strip product quality, and it is also a direct reflection of strip production process level. This paper aims to predict the coil shape results in advance based on the real-time data through the designed algorithm.

Design/methodology/approach

Aiming at the strip production scale and coil shape application requirements, this paper proposes a strip coil shape defects prediction algorithm based on Siamese semi-supervised denoising auto-encoder (DAE)-convolutional neural networks. The prediction algorithm first reconstructs the information eigenvectors using DAE, then combines the convolutional neural networks and skip connection to further process the eigenvectors and finally compares the eigenvectors with the full connect neural network and predicts the strip coil shape condition.

Findings

The performance of the model is further verified by using the coil shape data of a steel mill, and the results show that the overall prediction accuracy, recall rate and F-measure of the model are significantly better than other commonly used classification models, with each index exceeding 88%. In addition, the prediction results of the model for different steel grades strip coil shape are also very stable, and the model has strong generalization ability.

Originality/value

This research provides technical support for the adjustment and optimization of strip coil shape process based on the data-driven level, which helps to improve the production quality and intelligence level of hot strip continuous rolling.
