If someone is in the forest, he might not be able to look around and see every type of bird and frog that are there but they can be heard. A forest ranger might know what to do in these situations and he/she might be an expert in recognizing the different type of insects and dangerous species that are out there in the forest but if a common person travels to a rain forest for an adventure, he might not even know how to recognize these species, let alone taking suitable action against them. In this work, a model is built that can take audio signal as input, perform intelligent signal processing for extracting features and patterns, and output which type of species is present in the audio signal. The model works end to end and can work on raw input and a pipeline is also created to perform all the preprocessing steps on the raw input. In this work, different types of neural network architectures based on Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) are tested. Both are showing reliable performance, CNN shows an accuracy of 95.62% and Log Loss of 0.21 while LSTM shows an accuracy of 93.12% and Log Loss of 0.17. Based on these results, it is shown that CNN performs better than LSTM in terms of accuracy while LSTM performs better than CNN in terms of Log Loss. Further, both of these models are combined to achieve high accuracy and low Log Loss. A combination of both LSTM and CNN shows an accuracy of 97.12% and a Log Loss of 0.16.","PeriodicalId":50357,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Automation and Soft Computing","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76647443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Image enhancement is one of the feature processing tools, which aims to improve the details of an image. The enhancement of digital pictures is a challenging task due to the unforeseeable variation in the quality of the captured images. In this study, we present a mathematical model using a local conformable differential operator (LCDO). The proposed model is formulated by the theory of cantor fractal to generalize the definition of LCDO. The main advantage of utilizing LCDO for image enhancement is its capability to enhance the low contrast intensities using the coefficient estimate of LCDO. The proposed image enhancement algorithm is tested against different images with different qualities to show that it is robust and can withstand dramatic variations in quality. The quantitative results of Brisque, and Piqe were 30.38 and 35.53 respectively. The comparative consequences indicate that the proposed image enhancement model realizes the best image quality assessments. Overall, this model significantly improves the details of the given datasets, and can potentially help the medical staff during the diagnosis process.

The purpose of this study is to reduce culture costs, including those resulting from labor costs and natural disasters, and make it easier for culturists to manage their fish ponds. With the proposed system, physical indicators of water quality are extracted by temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH sensing modules; the heater, submerged motor pump, air pump, feeding trough, and LED illuminating lamp are controlled to improve the water quality and reduce labor. The wireless sensor network (WSN) is used as the signal transmission architecture between the sensor nodes, the control nodes, and the computer, where the human– machine interface is used for display, recording, and operation. In order to make the system more efficient and accurate, the fuzzy theory is used for fuzzy inference of the sensed signal, which enables the controlled load to be optimized and combined with the WSN so that the real-time information of the fishponds can be made available to culturists through mobile devices or remote platforms. The grid and storage battery are used as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to alternately power the sensors. The experimental results show that the fish pond culture environment can be accurately and stably monitored. The proposed monitoring system is constructed using a network of sensors, and it achieves precise judgment and real-time control.

The system requirements and model are investigated where it utilizes high-altitude platform (HAP) for fast and efficient connectivity provision to bridge the communication infrastructure gap in the current pandemic. The HAP is linked to the main server or gateway station located on ground and can provide communication narrow beams towards isolated areas which suffer from poor terrestrial radio coverage or lack of communication infrastructure. The vital e-learning applications using Internet services provision from the proposed HAP system are described and modelled including system adaptation parameters such as the application and physical layers to control the data rates of different e-learning applications and the overall cell data rate. On the other hand, the provision of high-speed Internet services from the proposed system is supported by using adaptive antenna arrays onboard HAP which provides high-gain beams to achieve the required high-quality transmission data rates at the student premises and provides the capability of coverage cell area adaptation for load balancing. The concentric circular antenna arrays with tapered feeding are proposed in this adaptive antenna system to control the cell mainlobe gain and reduce the out-of-coverage radiation as well.

However, due to the size of the ECG data, the performance of the signal compression and reconstruction is degraded. For efficient wireless transmission of ECG data, compressive sensing (CS) frame work plays significant role recently in WBSN. So, this work focuses to present CS for ECG signal compression and reconstruction. Although CS minimizes mean square error (MSE), compression rate and reconstruction probability of the CS is further to be improved. In this paper, we provide an efficient compressive sensing framework which strives to improve the reconstruction process, by adjusting the sensing matrix during the compression phase using the rain optimization algorithm (ROA). With the optimal sensing matrix, the compressed signal is reconstructed using Step Size optimized Sparsity Adaptive Matching Pursuit algorithm (SAMP). The results of this work demonstrate that the optimised CS framework achieves a higher compression rate and probability of reconstruction than the standard CS framework.","PeriodicalId":50357,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Automation and Soft Computing","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81822226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Murtaza, Muhammad Usman Qadir, Muhammad Awais Khan, Izhar ul Haq, Kamran Shah, Nizar Akhtar","doi":"10.32604/iasc.2022.020006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32604/iasc.2022.020006","url":null,"abstract":"Transfemoral prostheses have evolved from mechanical devices to microprocessor-based, electronically controlled knee joints, allowing amputees to regain control of their limbs. For improved amputee experience at varying ambulation rates, these devices provide controlled damping throughout the swing and stance phases of the gait cycle. Commercially available microprocessor-based prosthetic knee (MPK) joints use linear controllers, heuristic-based methods, and finite state machine based algorithms to track the refence gait cycle. However, since the amputee experiences a variety of non-linearities during ambulation, such as uneven terrains, walking backwards and climbing stairs, therefore, traditional controllers produces error, abnormal movements, unstable control system and require manual-tuning. As a result, novel controllers capable of replicating and tracking reference gait cycles for a range of reference signals are needed to reduce the burden on amputees and improve the rehabilitation process. Therefore, the current study proposes two non-linear control techniques, the Lyapunov-redesign controller and the sliding mode controller for real-time tracking of various signals, such as walking on level ground at a normal speed and ambulation on uneven terrains. State-space model of MPK was developed along with the mathematical modelling of non-linear controllers. Simulations and results are presented using MATLAB to verify the ability of proposed non-linear controllers for constantly and dynamically tracking and maintaining desired motion dynamics. Furthermore, for selected reference signals, a linear controller was applied to the same mathematical model of MPK. During tracking of reference angel in case of general gait cycle, an accuracy of 99.95% and 99.96% was achieved for sliding mode controller and Lyapunov-redesign controller respectively. Whereas, for the same case, linear controller had an accuracy of 95.5% only. Therefore, it can be concluded that the performance of non-linear controllers was better than their linear counterparts while tracking various reference signals for microprocessor based prosthetic knee.

Production planning includes all building production plans, including organizing and appointing exercises to every individual, gathering individuals or machines, and mastering work orders in every work environment. Production booking should take care of all issues, for example, limiting client standby time and production time; and viably utilizing the undertaking’s HR. This paper considered three degrees of a production inventory model for a consistent deterioration rate. This model assumes a significant part in the production of the board and assembling units. Request rate is the quadratic capacity of time, and deficiencies are not allowed. The all-out production rate is subject to manufacture rate, request rate, and pace of disintegrating things. It is feasible to the manufacture begun at one rate to additional rate after a specific time, and such a circumstance is attractive as in by starting at one a low pace of production. The model has first been addressed logically by limiting the entire inventory cost. The paper’s target is to find the ideal arrangement of production time, to decrease the entire cost of the complete cycle. At last, a mathematical model and affectability examination on boundaries were made to approve the outcomes and discuss the proposed inventory model. This model can help the producer and retailer to decide the ideal request amount, process duration, and final stock expense.
