The development of this system stems from the need to inspect underground pipes buried for various reasons, and for which it becomes a challenging task to inspect the interior conditions of the pipe. The specific application under study was a horizontal ground-coupled heat exchanger system for which a 160 mm diameter PVC pipework of approximately 60m length was buried at a depth of 3m below ground. The purpose of the mobile robotic system was to provide video recording of the interior of the PVC pipe network while also measuring the prevailing temperature and humidity level using on-board sensors. This paper presents the design process followed to develop the system, with emphasis on the image processing and analysis techniques for navigation along straight segments, both vertical and horizontal, of the pipe and around corners. The system design allows the robot to contract in diameter at a 90-degree elbow pipe and navigate through bends, which are detected using visual cues generated by using specific lighting arrangements.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129143547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a part of Indonesia region, Sumatra Island is known for its high level of seismicity, and one of the major earthquakes that caused a tsunami in Aceh occurred in 2004. This study aims to explore the clustering analysis and the hierarchical algorithm of an earthquake on Sumatra Island. This incidence is unpredictable since it occurs in an unexpected location, time, and magnitude. Therefore, to reduce earthquake risk, clustering analysis was carried out in the suspected region. This method includes agglomerative nesting (Agnes) and divisive analysis (Diana) algorithms. They were used in this research due to their effectiveness in grouping objects based on the closest distance or similarities using Euclid's metric. The optimum number of clusters was determined by the silhouette coefficient. The comparison of the cophenetic correlation coefficients in agglomerative nesting gave the conclusion that Ward linkage is the best method with a value of 0.8042. This showed that the solution generated from the clustering process with Ward linkage is quite good. Based on the silhouette coefficient, the Diana algorithm gave better result than the Agnes algorithm for clustering Sumatra earthquake data. The objects of clusters 1 and 2 respectively indicated the occurrence of an earthquake with a high and small risk. The first cluster has larger member than the second, making it susceptible to high earthquake risk.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123837720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several researchers have used genetic algorithm (GA) and Particle swarm optimization (PSO) tools for solving optimization problems in engineering. We used both algorithms here to select the optimum size of renewable energy (RE) generation units. In our system design, photovoltaic (PV) modules, wind turbines, and battery-banks are used as the primary power units whereas diesel generator serves as a backup. We have selected a village with 260 households in Ethiopia's eastern part, the Somali region, Darahtoleh village (7.31567N,45.52884E). Metrological data from Ethiopian Metrological Agency are used as a primary source to analyze the potential of solar and wind energy resources. We have run GA and PSO algorithms for twenty different numbers of runs (20, 30,40,…, 200) with 100 iterations for each considering life cycle cost (LCC) as an objective function and fulfilling the constraint function of peak energy demands. The results from both algorithms based on minimum LCC value are further analyzed.

To address this challenge, we propose a new two-stage deep learning strategy: local feature learning (LFL) followed by global multiple instance learning (GMIL). The GMIL stage intends to train a model that regards the given image as a set of patches and determines whether or not the image contains pneumothorax based on the patches. More specifically, the GMIL model first extracts the hierarchical feature map of a given image by using convolution layer, and takes the feature map of the last layer as a set of depth instances. Each instance is then provided to additional layers to produce its contribution to the final image level prediction. However, the GMIL model trained directly using the original image may still fail to learn highly discriminative features when large areas of non-lesion regions are contained in the image space and thus adversely affect performance. To resolve this problem, prior to the GMIL stage, another model with identical convolutional layers is first trained in the LFL stage using normal patches and pneumothorax-infected patches so that it can better learn the key distinguishing features by reducing most of the non-lesion regions in the X-ray image. The pre-trained convolutional weights are then utilized via transfer learning to enhance training of the GMIL model. Experiments carried on the benchmark ChestX-ray14 data set demonstrate that the proposed learning strategy can achieve the most advanced performance on accuracy, area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), recall, specificity, and F1 scores of 94.4±0. 7%, 97.3±0.5%, 94.6±1.5%, 94.2±0.4% and 94.4±0.7%, separately. We demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of reducing most of the non-lesion regions in the images for learning more discriminative features. The results show that our proposed CAD system is an effective auxiliary tool for screening pneumothorax.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121703089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Besides management, the size of an OS must be taken into consideration, in particular, OS images from mobile devices are significantly large to compile from a local machine, one way to overcome this matter would be investing in remote build systems such as QuickBuild(QB) which provides a fast and distributed build platform. With the built final OS image is necessary to perform tests on the target device. This paper focuses on Android Mobile Devices OS images and proposes an automated flash tool that will acquire a task, search for related task OS image, download the target OS image and finally flash it to the mobile device.

This paper describes the work done to develop a tool using a deep learning model for classifying Mauritius bird sounds from audio recordings.

The neural network's input is represented by spectrograms created from downloaded mp3 files. Time shifting and pitch stretching have been used for data augmentation.
