This study employs data mining techniques to address the issues of low adaptability and low recognition rate in the intelligent gear decision of vehicle automatic transmission systems. The research further proposes the utilization of Kalman filter, Hidden Markov Models, and Long Short-Term Memory networks for condition feature recognition and time series classification. Subsequently, dynamic programming algorithms are employed to optimize intelligent gear decisions. Combining driver intent and driving environment, an intelligent gear decision method is formulated. The results indicate that, during a 430 s driving segment, the intelligent gear decision method consumes only 464 mL of fuel, closely resembling the economic strategy's 457 mL, with a gear shift frequency of 53, significantly better than the 79 shifts in the economic strategy. Moreover, the error rate for slope condition recognition is only 0.062 %. In a 200 s coupled condition, the intelligent gear decision results in fuel consumption of 207 mL, approximating the actual vehicle's 219 mL, while power-shifting consumes 316 mL, and economic shifting only 202mL. This study not only improves the accuracy of gear decisions but also effectively enhances vehicle operational efficiency, providing valuable insights for future automatic transmission systems with significant practical value.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100684,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Systems with Applications","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 200459"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Producing bounding box annotations instead constitutes a significant reduction in this investment, but bounding box annotated data alone are not suitable for instance segmentation. This work utilizes ground truth bounding boxes to define coarsely annotated polygon masks, which we refer to as weak annotations, on which the models are pre-trained. We investigate the effect of pretraining on data with weak annotations and further fine-tuning on data with strong annotations, that is, finely annotated polygon masks for instance segmentation. The COCO 2017 detection dataset along with 3 model architectures, SOLOv2, Mask-RCNN, and Mask2former, were used to conduct experiments investigating the effect of pretraining on weak annotations. The Cityscapes and Pascal VOC 2012 datasets were used to validate this approach. The empirical results suggest two key outcomes from this investigation. Firstly, a sequential approach to annotating large-scale instance segmentation datasets would be beneficial, enabling higher-performance models in faster timeframes. This is accomplished by first labeling bounding boxes on your data followed by polygon masks. Secondly, it is possible to leverage object detection datasets for pretraining instance segmentation models while maintaining competitive results in the downstream task.

It is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality globally. The initial finding of cardiomegaly on radiological imaging may signal a deterioration of a known heart condition, an unknown heart disease, or a heart complication related to another illness. Further cardiological evaluation is needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment. A chest radiograph (X-ray) is the main imaging method used to identify cardiomegaly when the heart is enlarged. A prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential to help healthcare providers determine the most appropriate treatment options before the condition worsens. This study aims to utilize convolutional neural networks and transfer learning techniques, specifically Inception, DenseNet-169, and ResNet-50, to classify cardiomegaly from chest X-ray images automatically. The utilization of block-matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) techniques aimed at enhancing image edge retention, decreasing noise, and utilizing contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) to enhance contrast in low-intensity images. Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (GradCAM) was used to visualize the significant activation regions contributing to the model's decision. After evaluating all the models, the ResNet-50 model showed outstanding performance. It achieved perfect accuracy of 100 % in both training, and validation, and an impressive 99.8 % accuracy in testing. Additionally, it displayed complete 100 % precision, recall, and F1-score.
