The proposed approach overcomes the problems of poor segmentation effect and over-simplification of feature fusion arising from the constant downsample operations in semantic segmentation. The network is divided into spatial detail and semantic information paths. The spatial detail path utilizes a smaller downsample multiplier to maintain resolution and efficiently extract spatial information. The semantic information path is constructed by a non-bottleneck residual unit with dilated convolution; it extracts semantic features. For the feature aggregation problem, the feature-guided fusion module is designed to assign different weights to the parts of the two paths and fuse them to obtain the final output. The proposed algorithm achieves a segmentation accuracy of 69.6% and speed of 70 fps on the Cityscapes dataset, with a model parameter count of only 0.76 M, thus indicating some advantages over recent real-time semantic segmentation algorithms. The proposed method with depth separable convolution and attention mechanism can effectively extract features and compensate for the loss of accuracy caused by downsampling. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed fusion module outperforms other methods in fusing different features.","PeriodicalId":45921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics","volume":"15 1","pages":"673-682"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90222657","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}

Although volunteer trash pickup activities have increased in recent years, they require significant effort, time, and money. Therefore, we propose automated trash pickup robot, which incorporates autonomous movement and trash pickup arms. Although these functions have been actively developed, relatively little research has focused on trash detection. As such, we have developed a trash detection function by using deep learning models to improve the accuracy. First, we created a new trash dataset that classifies four types of trash with high illegal dumping volumes (cans, plastic bottles, cardboard, and cigarette butts). Next, we developed a new you only look once (YOLO)-based model with low parameters and computations. We trained the model on a created dataset and a dataset consisting of marine trash created during previous research. In consequence, the proposed models achieve the same detection accuracy as the existing models on both datasets, with fewer parameters and computations. Furthermore, the proposed models accelerate the edge device’s frame rate.","PeriodicalId":45921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics","volume":"12 1","pages":"622-631"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83565967","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 EDs are designated around the GWs based on machine clustering to minimize data congestion, collision, and overlapping during signal reception. Deployment and redeployment of EDs in the defined clusters depend on arithmetic distribution to reduce the near-far effect and the overall saturation in the network. To further improve the performance and analyze the behavior of the network, constant uplink power for signal-to-noise (SNR) while dynamic for received signal strength (RSS) has been proposed. In contrast to SNR, the RSS indicator estimates the actual position of the ED to prevent the capture effect. In the experimental implementation, downlink power at the connected EDs in the clusters illustrates higher values than the defined threshold.","PeriodicalId":45921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"700-709"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89521738","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}

Particularly, the proposed prediction method is bidirectional to identify an appropriate slurry formulation. The forward prediction model is established to predict the fluid performance, where the mud additive contents are inputs, and the drilling fluid properties parameters are outputs. Correspondingly, the backward prediction model is established to modify the slurry formula, where differences in the drilling fluid properties are inputs and percentages of slurry additives amount are output.

However, to achieve accurate numerical calculations, accuracy in the calculation method and initial values with high spatial resolution are necessary. Therefore, we propose a new method for estimating spatial values that considers characteristic theory but does not use interpolation. We consider the treatment of the curved characteristic line, which implies that the characteristic speed is altered locally. In the new method named averaging inverse characteristics method (AICM), the locally changing characteristic speed is averaged with the characteristic speed of the previous steps. We calculated the spatial values of the shock tube problem, described by the Euler equation, and examined the accuracy of the AICM by comparing the results of the inverse characteristics method (ICM) proposed in the previous study and the traditional interpolating methods. Compared to other methods, AICM reduced the error to less than 1/10 for all parameters. We determined from these results that the AICM accurately estimates the spatial distribution of problems where characteristic speed has significantly changed.","PeriodicalId":45921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics","volume":"102 1","pages":"616-621"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75796113","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 SENet model is embedded in the proposed activation function to adaptively recalibrate the feature mapping weight in each channel, thereby enhancing the fitting capability of the activation function. In addition, the function has an elastic slope in the positive input region by simulating random noise to improve the generalization capability of neural networks. To prevent the generated noise from producing overly large variations during training, a special protection mechanism is adopted.
