However, normals are not inherent attributes of point clouds but are estimated using algorithms such as principal component analysis (PCA). Due to inaccuracies in the normals, bilateral filtering may lead to unexpected results, such as smoothing in sharp regions. This study addressed this issue by improving the accuracy of normals. Initially, PCA was employed to estimate the initial normals of the point cloud. The points were then categorized into edge and planar points by fitting a three-dimensional sphere. Subsequently, iterative weighted PCA was applied to refine the normals of the edge points. Finally, the improved normals were integrated into bilateral filtering to achieve point cloud denoising. Additionally, a robust estimator was used instead of a Gaussian function to compute the weights in the bilateral filtering. To assess and compare the performance of this algorithm with related ones, the mean square angular error (MSAE) and angular error distribution (AE) were employed to evaluate the accuracy of normal estimation, while the mean square error (MSE) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were employed to assess the denoising performance. Results indicate that the proposed method yielded the most accurate normals compared to PCA, Jet, and VCM normal estimation algorithms. Moreover, when compared to algebraic point set surfaces (APSS), robust implicit moving least squares (RIMLS), anisotropic weighted locally optimal projection (AWLOP), bilateral filtering, and guided filtering point cloud denoising algorithms, the proposed method consistently achieved the smallest MSE and the highest SNR in most cases on the dataset used in this study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7484,"journal":{"name":"alexandria engineering journal","volume":"127 ","pages":"Pages 573-585"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preliminary CFD analysis of a scaled-up integrated CAWT-ODFC yielded a promising power coefficient of 0.50, indicating potential for efficient energy harvesting in full-scale applications.

One of the popular linguistic patterns to express or criticize one’s ideas with ridicule is sarcasm, where they have unintended and intended meanings in written text. The sarcastic text is used to reverse the polarity of the sentiment. As a result, sarcasm detection in the text positively affects the sentimental analysis (SA) tasks and improves accuracy. The sarcasm recognition of Arabic content is constrained even though Arabic is the most popular language for web content sharing, and yet still naive owing to various challenges, such as the insufficient data sources, the multiple dialects, and the morphological structure of the Arabic language. This study presents an Artificial Intelligence Driven Sarcasm Detection using Optimal Deep Learning (AIDSD-ODL) technique on Arabic tweets. In the AIDSD-ODL technique, a hyperparameter-tuned DL model is utilized to identify sarcastic or non-sarcastic Arabic tweets. At the initial stage, the AIDSD-ODL method undergoes data pre-processing to convert the input tweets into a compatible format. In the next phase, the Glove word embedding process is used in the AIDSD-ODL technique. The self-attention bidirectional long short-term memory (SA-BiLSTM) model is utilized for sarcasm detection. The Al-Biruni Earth Radius (BER) model is implemented for the hyperparameter selection process to enhance the performance of the SA-BiLSTM network. The experimental results of the AIDSD-ODL method are examined under the Arabic tweets dataset.

In contrast, the present waste management system has a set of inefficiencies due to some challenges, such as poor waste stream segregation, limited real-time data analysis, and negligible integration of recent technology. These challenges lead to environmental degradation, public health hazards, and inefficient usage of resources. This research targets these challenges by designing an IWM framework like AI-IoT for smart waste management. The system employs AI models powered by IoT sensors for efficient waste collection, classification, and optimization of recycling schedules. CNN (convolutional neural networks) with transfer learning enabled by Res-Net provides high-accuracy image recognition, which can be used for waste classification. Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) allow multilingual users to interact and communicate properly in any linguistic environment. Data collected from IoT-enabled smart bins is transmitted in real-time to a central control system for dynamic decision-making and follow-up analysis. A pilot exercise to verify the system's effectiveness was implemented in metropolitan settings to show the transformation: landfill dependency was decreased by 30 %, recycling efficiency was greatly increased to 90 %, and thus the cost of waste management was optimized. At the same time, environmental health inequity, causing pathogen-related threats, was reduced by 35 %. The model has an accuracy of 96.8 %. The features of the proposed framework not only provide solutions to the existing inefficiencies but also enhance scalability, cost-effectiveness, and global environmental standardization.

BJ model utilizes a nonlinear least square estimator for parameter identification, which has been improved by the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm for parameter error minimization, and further refinement is accomplished through Bayes’ theorem using its maximum-a-posteriori characteristics. Bayesian estimation, due to its a-priori feature, fully explores grey-box modeling BJ structure, which no other estimation technique does.

In this study, GO was reduced sustainably using sunlight (SARGO) and was employed for SO<sub>2</sub> adsorption. By using various characterization techniques, it was confirmed that the synthesized SARGO adsorbent has a mesoporous structure with potential functional groups, great thermal stability, high surface area (713.4 m<sup>2</sup>/g), pore size (4.89 nm), and pore volume (0.79 cm<sup>3</sup>/g). The maximum adsorption capacity and efficiency were 23.72 mg/g and 93.8 %. Sips isotherm and Pseudo-second order kinetic models are more appropriate for relating the SO<sub>2</sub> adsorption to the SARGO adsorbent. Along with thermodynamic studies, the adsorption mechanism and photoreduction mechanism were detailed. The SO<sub>2</sub> adsorption process belongs to exothermic, spontaneous, and physical adsorption. Further, the obtained wide functional groups of O–H, –COOH, and –O– are favorable for SO<sub>2</sub> adsorption onto the adsorbent via hydrogen bonding, acid-base interactions, dipole-dipole interactions, and covalent bonds. SARGO has excellent reusability and stability for industrial applications. The approximate cost was roughly calculated to be $1.25/mg of SO<sub>2</sub> adsorbed onto SARGO adsorbent.
