However, the complexity of the operational environment and the similarity of PD signals make defect identification challenging. Consequently, this paper proposes a Time-domain Local Correlation Entropy Image (T-LCEI) transformation method, which constructs an entropy matrix to convert raw PD signals into images. These images embed feature and bandwidth information from the original PD data, significantly enhancing the ability to differentiate between similar PD signals. Furthermore, the method combines a Dual Attention Convolutional Neural Network (DA_CNN) for the effective classification of correlation entropy images. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach achieves an average classification accuracy of 99.69% across four typical PD defect datasets, with a testing accuracy of 97.75% in practical scenarios. Compared to existing PD detection methods, T-LCEI offers significant improvements in effectiveness and discriminability. The integration of DA_CNN further enhances recognition accuracy. The study demonstrates that the proposed method excels in PD defect identification, providing reliable technical support for on-site fault detection and maintenance, thereby significantly improving the operational safety of cable terminals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50630,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Electrical Engineering","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 109865"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods are effective for preserving and enhancing the features of ECG signals. However, their performance heavily relies on accurately selecting model parameters, particularly the state and measurement noise covariance matrices. Some of these frameworks also involve computationally intensive computations and loops for state estimation. To address these problems, in this study, we propose a novel approach to improve the performance of several model-based Bayesian frameworks, including the extended Kalman filter/smoother (EKF/EKS), unscented Kalman filter/smoother (UKF/UKS), cubature Kalman filter/smoother (CKF/CKS), and ensemble Kalman filter/smoother (EnKF/EnKS), specifically for ECG denoising tasks. Our methodology dynamically adjusts the state and measurement covariance matrices of the filters using outputs from nonlinear Kalman-based filtering methods. For each filter, we develop a unique approach based on the theoretical foundations of that filter. Additionally, we introduce two distinct strategies for updating these matrices, considering whether the noise in the signals is stationary or nonstationary. Furthermore, we propose a computationally efficient method that significantly reduces the calculation time required for implementing CKF/CKS, UKF/UKS, and EnKF/EnKS frameworks, while maintaining their denoising performance. Our approach can achieve a 50 % reduction in computation time for these frameworks, effectively making them twice as fast as their original implementations We thoroughly evaluated our approach by comparing denoising performance between the original filters and their adaptive versions, as well as against the state-of-the-art marginalized particle extended Kalman filter (MP-EKF). The evaluation utilized various normal ECG segments obtained from different records. The results demonstrate that the adaptive adjustment of covariance matrices significantly improves the denoising performance of nonlinear Kalman-based frameworks in both stationary and non-stationary environments, achieving performance comparable to that of the MP-EKF framework.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50630,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Electrical Engineering","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 109869"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chaotic maps are widely utilised for encrypting multimedia data for secure communication due to their sensitivity to initial conditions and unpredictability. However, some chaotic maps suffer from weak chaotic dynamics that can make them vulnerable to certain types of attacks, limiting their effectiveness in sensitive applications such as encryption or secure communication in military operations and personal data. This research study proposes a novel nonlinear discrete chaotic map termed a coupled Kaplan–Yorke-Logistic map. By coupling chaotic maps, the Kaplan–Yorke map and the Logistic map, we have significantly enhanced key features such as the length of chaotic orbits, output distribution, and the security of chaotic sequences. An empirical assessment of the proposed coupled Kaplan–Yorke-Logistic map in terms of several measures such as bifurcation diagrams, phase diagrams, Lyapunov exponent analysis, permutation entropy, and sample entropy shows promising ergodicity and a diverse range of hyperchaotic behaviours compared to several recent chaotic maps. Consequently, the proposed map is utilised to develop an efficient image encryption algorithm. The encryption algorithm employs a methodology that utilises simultaneous confusion and diffusion processes aiming to significantly reduce the computation time for encryption and decryption processes for real-time applications without compromising the security parameters. A thorough assessment of the proposed image encryption algorithm is performed on a variety of image datasets by utilising multiple cryptanalysis methods, including key space analysis, information entropy, correlation coefficient evaluation, differential attack, key sensitivity testing, histogram analysis, computational time analysis, and occlusion and noise attacks. Comparative analysis with the state-of-the-art methods indicates the superiority of the proposed algorithm.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50630,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Electrical Engineering","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 109850"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we propose a model that uses a pre-trained vision transformer and an ensemble of deep convolutional auto-encoders to capture dependencies between distant frames.
