Image processing systems provide detailed information on vehicle flow with adequate lighting conditions and a higher computational cost compared to sensor systems. The image processing systems with higher accuracy require higher computational cost. This feature limits the number of application cases in cities with low technology level. This research analyzes urban vehicle counting using an automatic image processing system using YOLOv5 in the vehicle detection-classification stage and the SORT algorithm in the tracking stage. The study used videos recorded from a pedestrian bridge in Popayan, Colombia, for an exploratory study of the influence of preprocessing operations on the performance of a low-tech vehicle counting system. The study performed a comparative statistical analysis to determine the impact of different settings on system performance. An ANOVA analysis evaluates the incidence of frame cut and reshape on YOLO processing. The results indicate that a 30% cut of the image area prior to YOLO processing produces the lowest weighted average error. In addition, the frame reshape only increases the processing time. The study proposes improvements in the performance of an offline automatic vehicle counting system from the video preprocessing stage.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10669248","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142143661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research has revealed that lncRNAs play critical roles in gene regulatory mechanisms, substantially influencing the pathogenesis of various human diseases. In this study, a multilayer heterogeneous network was created and we introduced the fast random walk with restart (FRWR) for predicting connections between lncRNAs and diseases. By combining the similarity network of lncRNA, similarity network of disease, and association network of existing lncRNA-disease, a multilayer heterogeneous network was constructed, and the fast random walk with restart method (FRWR) was applied on this network to predict additional potential lncRNA-disease associations. The AUROC value of 0.9034, achieved through leave-one-out cross-validation, underscored the predictive precision of the FRWR technique. Furthermore, a case study of three different diseases provided further validation of the reliability of prediction results. Overall, the multilayer network FRWR method proposed in this work could effectively forecasting the connections between lncRNAs and diseases, offering valuable insights into comprehending the functions of lncRNAs in the context of human health and disease.

Each force models an aspect of pedestrian gait, with the objective of creating a virtual environment to train and test control systems for collaborative robots or autonomous vehicles. To meet the modelling requirements, the system employs various algorithms, such as \"flocking\", which simulates the coordination and formation of groups, \"pathfinding\", which enables agents to discover optimal routes within a given space, and algorithms specialized in avoiding walls and dynamic obstacles. These components collaborate to accurately depict how crowds move and react in different environments and situations. Thanks to the modularity of this approach, which facilitates the adjustment and expansion of the components, the developed system can be integrated into various applications, such as simulating non-playable characters (NPCs) in video games or modelling the evacuation of a building.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620392","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The combination of these technologies with Additive Manufacturing allows online process monitoring and simulation, along with the cloud storage of the process and geometry data collected during the material deposition. The analysis of such data allows online and post-deposition identification of eventual process instabilities that can lead to quality problems. Considering the above-mentioned concepts, this work presents a DT architecture based on the ISO 23247-Digital Twin Framework for Manufacturing standard.

In the domain of supervised cross-modal hash retrieval, existing methods exhibit limitations in refining data features, leading to insufficiently detailed semantic information extraction and inaccurate reflection of data similarity. The challenge lies in utilizing multi-level deep semantic features of the data to generate more refined hash representations, thereby reducing the semantic gap and heterogeneity caused by different modalities. To address this challenging problem, we propose a multilevel deep semantic feature asymmetric network structure (MDSAN). Firstly, this architecture explores the multilevel deep features of the data, generating more accurate hash representations under richer supervised information guidance. Secondly, we investigate the preservation of asymmetric similarity within and between different modalities, allowing for a more comprehensive utilization of the multilevel deep features to bridge the gap among diverse modal data. Our network architecture effectively enhances model accuracy and robustness. Extensive experiments on three datasets validate the significant improvement advantages of the MDSAN model structure compared to current methods.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620388","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the estimation algorithms or methodologies that are proposed or investigated need to be evaluated in a controlled environment, where, among other things, synthetic PMU measurements obtained from simulations are used. These synthetic measurements require the addition of noise to be like the real ones. The problem found in the literature is the large difference in noise magnitudes used by the authors in their research. These magnitudes in several cases are inconsistent with each other and even seem to be exaggerated. It is for this reason that the present work determines the noise contained in the ambient data reported by PMU. The reliability of the results of this work is based, among other things, on the use of real PMU measurements, located in two different countries, with diverse reporting rates, and located at high, medium, and low voltage. Moreover, this work quantifies the impact that noise has on load modeling with ambient PMU data. In conclusion, the main results of this work are two. The first one covers the noise magnitudes contained in ambient PMU data. The second one demonstrates that noise has a significant and negative impact on load modeling.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620390","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the activities consists of verifying that the load hook does not exceed the limit deformation. However, the lack of historical records and negligence in visual inspection is a problem to ensure a correct maintenance service. Therefore, the objective of the research was to develop a vision system capable of inspecting, recording, and verifying the hook parameters. The method involved designing a vision module on an integral crane scanner system. A five-state deformation experiment of a cargo hook was modeled with ANSYS and fabricated in 3D printing to validate the proposed module by measuring the parameters manually with a commercial and proprietary vision system. The comparison between the two systems was satisfactory in detecting the latch and the correct position. Finally, the proprietary system improved the resolution up to 0.0435 mm on the hook deformation. With the systems contribution, it will be possible to know the valuable and safe life of the crane hook by automatic constant inspection.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620393","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
