Detecting rottenness caused by Penicillium genus fungi in citrus fruits using machine learning techniques

2012

Penicillium fungi are among the main defects that may affect the commercialization of citrus fruits. Economic losses in fruit production may become enormous if an early detection of that kind of fungi is not carried out. That early detection is usually based either on UltraViolet light carried out manually. This work presents a new approach based on hyperspectral imagery for defect segmentation. Both the physical device and the data processing (geometric corrections and band selection) are presented. Achieved results using classifiers based on Artificial Neural Networks and Decision Trees show an accuracy around 98%; it shows up the suitability of the proposed approach.

Distinguishing Onion Leaves from Weed Leaves Based on Segmentation of Color Images and a BP Neural Network

2006

A new algorithm to distinguish onion leaves from weed leaves in images is suggested. This algorithm is based on segmentation of color images and on BP neural network. It includes: discarding soil for conserving only plants in the image, color image segmentation, merging small regions by analyzing the frontier rates and the averages of color indices of the regions, at last a BP neural network is used to determine if the small regions belongs to onion leaf or not. The algorithm has been applied to many images and the correct identifiable percents for onion leaves are between 80%~ 90%.

A Multi-layer Feed Forward Neural Network Approach for Diagnosing Diabetes

2018

Diabetes is one of the worlds major health problems according to the World Health Organization. Recent surveys indicate that there is an increase in the number of diabetic patients resulting in an increase in serious complications such as heart attacks and deaths. Early diagnosis of diabetes, particularly of type 2 diabetes, is critical since it is vital for patients to get insulin treatments. However, diagnoses could be difficult especially in areas with few medical doctors. It is, therefore, a need for practical methods for the public for early detection and prevention with minimal intervention from medical professionals. A promising method for automated diagnosis is the use of artificial…

Intrusion Detection with Interpretable Rules Generated Using the Tsetlin Machine

2020

The rapid deployment in information and communication technologies and internet-based services have made anomaly based network intrusion detection ever so important for safeguarding systems from novel attack vectors. To this date, various machine learning mechanisms have been considered to build intrusion detection systems. However, achieving an acceptable level of classification accuracy while preserving the interpretability of the classification has always been a challenge. In this paper, we propose an efficient anomaly based intrusion detection mechanism based on the Tsetlin Machine (TM). We have evaluated the proposed mechanism over the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 1999 (KDD’99) …

Efficient MLP Digital Implementation on FPGA

2005

The efficiency and the accuracy of a digital feed-forward neural networks must be optimized to obtain both high classification rate and minimum area on chip. In this paper an efficient MLP digital implementation. The key features of the hardware implementation are the virtual neuron based architecture and the use of the sinusoidal activation function for the hidden layer. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions has been evaluated developing different FPGA based neural prototypes for the High Energy Physics domain and the automatic Road Sign Recognition domain. The use of the sinusoidal activation function decreases hardware resource employment of about 32% when compared with the standar…

A spiking network for body size learning inspired by the fruit fly

2013

The concept of peripersonal space is an interesting research topics for psychologists, neurobiologists and for robotic applications. A living being can learn the representation of its own body to take the correct behavioral decision when interacting with the world. To transfer these important learning mechanisms on bio-robots, simple and efficient solutions can be found in the insect world. In this paper a neural-based model for body-size learning is proposed taking into account the results obtained in experiments with fruit flies. Simulations and experimental results on a roving platform are reported and compared with the biological counterpart.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Disaster Management - A Systematic Literature Review

2019

Whenever a disaster occurs, users in social media, sensors, cameras, satellites, and the like generate vast amounts of data. Emergency responders and victims use this data for situational awareness, decision-making, and safe evacuations. However, making sense of the generated information under time-bound situations is a challenging task as the amount of data can be significant, and there is a need for intelligent systems to analyze, process, and visualize it. With recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), numerous researchers have begun exploring AI, machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) techniques for big data analytics in managing disasters efficiently. This paper adopt…
