The article describes a cost-effective solution to the process of autonomous welding through the use of a structured light set up along with an open-source robot and its design issues.

Manual detection of such items is a time-consuming process that is also limited by the examination capacity of the security inspector. To overcome these constraints, several researchers have proposed deep learning solutions to identify contraband data contained within baggage X-ray imagery. However, when trained on the imbalanced data that is frequently encountered in real-world aviation screening, the performance of these models suffers significantly. Towards this end, this paper proposes the coupling of various imbalanced learning strategies that can be used to augment traditional threat detection models and enable them to effectively learn the extremely imbalanced distribution of normal and threat object categories. The proposed approach is validated on three public datasets, namely SIXray, OPIXray, and COMPASS-XP, where it achieved the performance improvement of 9.52%, 11.32%, and 10.98%, respectively, on all three datasets in terms of mean intersection-over-union as compared to the state-of-the-art threat detection frameworks.","PeriodicalId":291030,"journal":{"name":"2022 2nd International Conference on Digital Futures and Transformative Technologies (ICoDT2)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132933632","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}

Numerous researchers have addressed this issue by developing autonomous threat detection systems. However, the performance of these systems is still vulnerable to high occlusion and unbalanced contraband data. In this paper, we present a novel programmable CNN-driven broad learning system (BLS) that automatically adapts its design specifications to effectively recognize the concealed and imbalanced contraband data depicted within the baggage X-ray scans. First, the input scan is passed to the CNN backbone to extract distinct latent features. These features are then passed to the BLS model, which determines whether the scan contains potentially dangerous items or not. Additionally, the BLS’s architecture (within the proposed framework) is programmed in such a way that no human effort is required to optimize it for producing the best threat detection performance. This novel design adaptation is performed via heuristics and greedy searches that quantify the importance of each edge fusing the adjacent node pairs to optimize the network’s overall performance. The proposed system is thoroughly tested on three datasets, namely GDXray, SIXray, and COMPASS-XP, on which it leads the state-of-the-art by 2.94%, 19.33%, and 13.38%, respectively, in terms of F1 score.","PeriodicalId":291030,"journal":{"name":"2022 2nd International Conference on Digital Futures and Transformative Technologies (ICoDT2)","volume":"35 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133077463","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 porosity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the 3D printed structures and composites are investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), three-point bending test, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. The nanocellulose-epoxy composites showed a bending strength and modulus of 30.82 MPa and 2.67 GPa, respectively. The improved mechanical properties of the composites are due to porous free structures after infusion of an Epofix resin, as confirmed by SEM. The thermal stability of the composites increased compared to freeze-dried structures, as confirmed by TGA.","PeriodicalId":291030,"journal":{"name":"2022 2nd International Conference on Digital Futures and Transformative Technologies (ICoDT2)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121314604","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}
