Deep learning techniques, including U-Net and Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN), have shown promise in crack detection. However, they are sensitive to real-world environmental variations, impacting robustness and accuracy. This paper compares the performance of U-Net and FCN for concrete crack detection on bridges using raw images under various conditions. A dataset of 157 images (100 for training, 57 for testing) was used, and the models were evaluated based on Dice similarity coefficient and Jaccard index. FCN slightly outperformed U-Net in accuracy (94.88% vs. 94.21%), while U-Net had a slight advantage in validation (93.55% vs. 92.99%). These findings provide valuable insights for automated infrastructure maintenance and repair.","PeriodicalId":194936,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems","volume":"43 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141010710","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}

However, these images were not evaluated according to specific characteristics. So, in this paper, an improved version is presented to tackle the problem of dissimilarity measure in block matching with a noisy environment, using another’s domain transforms or low-pass filters to obtain a better result in block matching implementing a quantitive measure with an average accuracy margin of ± 0.05 is obtained. The theoretical analysis indicates that the complexity of these algorithms is still accurate, so implementing Hadamard spectral coefficients and Fourier filters can easily be adjusted to obtain a better accuracy of the matched block group.","PeriodicalId":194936,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems","volume":"358 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141006597","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}

Image classification offers a lot of potential for architectural design, even though it is rarely used to uncover new techniques. It can be used to determine the client’s preferences and design a building that satisfies those preferences. The different architectural styles based on culture, region, and time are one of the main challenges for image classification in architecture. Hence, it can be challenging for untrained clients to recognize an architectural style, and sometimes some buildings are made up of various types that are difficult to classify as a single style. This paper investigates the potential of employing state-of-art cutting-edge image classification algorithms in houses classification. In addition, the paper proposes the uses of Shifted Patch Tokenization (SPT) and Locality Self-Attention (LSA) in order to enhance the performance of Vision transformer (ViT) when trained to classify house images with a small dataset, opposed to the regular ViT which requires huge dataset in order to converge. Experimentally, these techniques proved to have a positive impact on the performance of the ViT, which reached 96.85% accuracy when SPT and LSA are employed.","PeriodicalId":194936,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141014730","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}

The detection and classification of plant disease is an essential component of the agricultural industry. Plant diseases may result in substantial financial losses due to decreased crop production. As per the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, it is estimated that plant diseases result in a reduction of approximately 10-16% in global crop yields annually. Farmers are traditionally relying on visual inspection, using naked eye observation, as the primary method for detecting plant diseases. This involves a meticulous examination of crops to identify any visible signs of diseases. However, manual disease detection can lead to delayed identification, resulting in significant crop losses. Various methods, coupled with machine learning classifiers, were demonstrated effectiveness in scenarios involving manual feature extraction and limited datasets. However, to handle larger datasets, deep learning models such as Inception V4, ResNet-152, EfficientNet-B5, and DenseNet-201 were studied and implemented. Among these models, DenseNet-201 exhibited superior performance and accuracy compared to the previous methodology.

Traditional methods, such as pathplanning algorithms, simultaneous localization and mapping, computer vision, and fuzzy techniques, have been employed to address this challenge. However, to achieve better generalization and self-improvement capabilities, reinforcement learning has gained significant attention. The concern of privacy issues in sharing data is also rising in various domains. In this study, a deep reinforcement learning strategy is applied to the mobile robot to move from its initial position to a destination. Specifically, the Deep Q-Learning algorithm has been used for this purpose. This strategy is trained using a federated learning approach to overcome privacy issues and to set a foundation for further analysis of distributed learning. The application scenario considered in this work involves the navigation of a mobile robot to a charging point within a greenhouse environment. The results obtained indicate that both the traditional deep reinforcement learning and federated deep reinforcement learning frameworks are providing 100% success rate.

To complete the modeling of urban traffic, the discrete distribution and continuous distribution of traffic are obtained. Based on this research environment, the DV-hop localization algorithm is improved to sense the vehicle position. Based on the phase space reconstruction of traffic flow time series and vehicle location information, traffic flow data is predicted. Based on the driving of traffic data, the vehicle types are divided into small, medium and large three categories, and the impact weights are assigned respectively, and the weight values affecting the final allocation of green time are obtained to realize the allocation of green time. The experimental results show that: The research algorithm can not only predict the traffic flow intensity effectively, but also the predicted results are highly coincident with the actual traffic flow intensity.
