Technology allows for better efficiency in terms of time, resources, personnel and the gathering of data. In Santa Fe, Honduras recently the discovered of a coral reef called Cayo Blanco was made, which is a continuation of the Mesoamerican reef. A neural network was trained using approximately 30% of blurry images. This research aims to create a graphic user interface equipped with a neural network capable of counting, classifying, and identifying at least five coral species found in Cayo Blanco, Honduras. The algorithm has 95% precision, is trained with 399 images in the Coral database, can show and register the detections, and provide a specific measurement of confidence. We concluded that for machine learning models, the quantity outperformed the quality of the image data.","PeriodicalId":224526,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applied Network Technologies (ICMLANT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120976826","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 characteristics and properties of natural swarms have been studied to solve this problem. From these studies, basic behaviors have been defined, one of them being aggregation. This work explores the classical aggregation algorithm known as Beeclust. The Beeclust algorithm was implemented in MATLAB.

In this study, we aim to fill this absence by implementing a MANET dataset in a popular GNN framework, i.e., PyTorch Geometric; and show how GNNs can be utilized to analyze the traffic of MANETs. We operate an edge prediction task on the dataset with GraphSAGE (SAG) model, where SAG model tries to predict whether there is a link between two nodes. We construe several evaluation metrics to measure the performance and efficiency of GNNs on MANETs.

With the world's population expected to increase by two billion in the next three decades, there is a necessity to increase food production to support the growing population. In recent years, the increase in global food production has slowed, too slow to keep up with population growth. The factors directly affecting global food production are drought and plant diseases. Detection of these diseases through manual inspection is time taking and involves a factor of human error. In this paper, we focus on the problem of detecting plant diseases accurately at an early stage to increase food production. Machine learning and deep learning-based models have the potential to solve this issue by detecting plant diseases quickly and accurately. In this work, we first analyze the performance of pre-trained deep learning models on an expanded version of the standard PlantVillage dataset and then propose an ensemble of deep learning models. The proposed ensemble model outperforms all the existing deep learning models and achieves a maximum accuracy of 99.61%.","PeriodicalId":224526,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applied Network Technologies (ICMLANT)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121570220","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}

This study examines the effect of visual complexity on the pilot's event detection capability in low visibility conditions while varying the visual complexity with time.

The method proposed in this work consists of adding a degree of freedom to the same robot to statistically compare if there is a significant difference between the two systems. The data for the statistical analysis were extracted by means of solidworks motion simulations. By performing the statistical tests of normality, sign test and t-student test as appropriate, it was shown that there are no significant differences in the systems.

The markers were designed with different patterns to be unique and thus be correctly recognized by the application. The objective of the implementation was to analyze the integration of RA in a scheduled general evacuation, namely, the comparison of evacuation times without application use and with application use. Based on the above, the evacuation was planned to define time, personnel, location of the markers, and time collection. Once the evacuation was completed, the statistical analysis was carried out using two sample T-tests, Dunnett's comparison, multiple regression analysis, and others. The result was that in an evacuation with many people, there was no statistical difference in the times between an evacuation with the use of the application and without the use of the application. Some of the aspects observed during the implementation that affected the evacuation time werethe processing capacity of each user's cell phone, the lighting, the trigger position, and the user's walking speed.","PeriodicalId":224526,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applied Network Technologies (ICMLANT)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115995055","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 personnel can make human errors that impair the quality of the final product. that is why three iterations of an artificial vision algorithm were developed for T-shirt inspection with the objective of providing the first step towards the automation of a process that has been manual for decades. This opens the door to continue automating manual operations in manufacturing workshops, to be able to implement artificial intelligence projects in the future in order to improve the efficiency of the processes and the quality of the inspections. To determine the functionality of the algorithms, experimental tests were carried out with 174 images in total. A first photo shoot was done for two colors of t-shirt: black and white; gray was also included to complete the samples and it was assumed that the slight color difference would not affect the performance of the algorithms. This first shot consisted of two batches named B1 and N1, after the initials of the colors. A second photo shoot was done in the same way with two batches named B2 and N2. Lastly, a third photo shoot was done, again with two batches called B3 and N3. An algorithm was developed for each photo shoot taken. The best method for the pictures was the 3rd one, consisting of a simple and solid background that didn't add noise to the image resulting from the algorithm. It was determined that, for white shirts, batch B2 with algorithm 2 obtained the best percentage of accuracy with a total correct detection of 31 out of the total sample of 40.
