Ecological research relies on the interpretation of large amounts of visual data obtained from extensive wildlife surveys, but such large-scale image interpretation is costly and time-consuming. Using an artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning model, especially convolution neural networks (CNN), it is possible to streamline these manual tasks on image information and to protect wildlife and record and predict behavior. Ecological research using deep-learning-based object recognition technology includes various research purposes such as identifying, detecting, and identifying species of wild animals, and identification of the location of poachers in real-time. These advances in the application of AI technology can enable efficient management of endangered wildlife, animal detection in various environments, and real-time analysis of image information collected by unmanned aerial vehicles. Furthermore, the need for school education and social use on biodiversity and environmental issues using AI is raised. School education and citizen science related to ecological activities using AI technology can enhance environmental awareness, and strengthen more knowledge and problem-solving skills in science and research processes. Under these prospects, in this paper, we compare the results of our early 2013 study, which automatically identified African cichlid fish species using photographic data of them, with the results of reanalysis by CNN deep learning method. By using PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning frameworks, we achieve an accuracy of 82.54% and an F1-score of 0.77 with minimal programming and data preprocessing effort. This is a significant improvement over the previous our machine learning methods, which required heavy feature engineering costs and had 78% accuracy.

A convolutional neural network (CNN), which is one of the deep learning models, has been very successful in a variety of computer vision tasks. Filters of a CNN are automatically generated, however, they can be further optimized since there exist the possibility of existing redundant and less important features. Therefore, the aim of this paper is a filter reduction to accelerate and compress CNN models. Evolutionary algorithms is adopted to remove the unnecessary filters in order to minimize the parameters of CNN networks while maintaining a good performance of classification. We demonstrate the proposed filter reduction methods performing experiments on CIFAR10 data based on the classification performance. The comparison for three approaches is analysed and the outlook for the potential next steps is suggested.

In this paper, we propose a super-resolution method that reconstructs compressed low-resolution images into high-resolution images. We propose a CNN model with a small number of parameters, and even if quantization is applied to the proposed model, super-resolution can be implemented without deteriorating the image quality. To further improve the quality of the compressed low-resolution image, a new degradation model was proposed instead of the existing bicubic degradation model. The proposed degradation model is used only in the training process and can be applied by changing only the parameter values to the original CNN model. In the super-resolution image applying the proposed degradation model, visual artifacts caused by image compression were effectively removed. As a result, our proposed method generates higher PSNR values at compressed images and shows better visual quality, compared to conventional CNN-based SR methods.

In super-resolution, various methods with Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) have recently been proposed. CNN based methods provide much higher image quality than conventional methods. Especially, VDSR outperforms other CNN based methods in terms of image quality. However, it requires a high computational complexity which prevents real-time processing. In this paper, the method to apply a deconvolution layer to VDSR is proposed to reduce computational complexity. Compared to original VDSR, the proposed method achieves the 4.46 times speed-up and its degradation in image quality is less than -0.1 dB which is negligible.

Recently, deep learning and machine learning have attracted considerable attention and many supporting frameworks appeared. In artificial intelligence field, a large body of research is underway to apply the relevant knowledge for complex problem-solving, necessitating the application of various learning algorithms and training methods to artificial intelligence systems. In addition, there is a dearth of performance evaluation of decision making agents. The decision making agent that can find optimal solutions by using reinforcement learning methods designed through this research can collect raw pixel data observed from dynamic environments and make decisions by itself based on the data. The decision making agent uses convolutional neural networks to classify situations it confronts, and the data observed from the environment undergoes preprocessing before being used. This research represents how the convolutional neural networks and the decision making agent are configured, analyzes learning performance through a value-based algorithm and a policy-based algorithm : a Deep Q-Networks and a Policy Gradient, sets forth their differences and demonstrates how the convolutional neural networks affect entire learning performance when using pixel data. This research is expected to contribute to the improvement of artificial intelligence systems which can efficiently find optimal solutions by using features extracted from raw pixel data.

4차산업혁명 시대에는 대량의 데이터를 학습하여 예측과 분류의 정확성을 향상시킬 수 있는 인공지능의 활용이 핵심적이다. 그러나, 기존 이상탐지를 위한 방법은 제한된 데이터를 다루는 전통적인 통계 방법에 의존하고 있어, 정확한 이상탐지가 어렵다. 그러므로, 본 연구는 인공지능 기반 이상탐지 방법을 제시하여 예측 정확도를 높이고, 새로운 데이터 패턴을 정의하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히, 자동차의 경우 공회전 기간의 센서 데이터가 이상 탐지에 활용될 수 있다는 관점에서 데이터를 수집하고 분석하였다. 이를 위해, 예측 모델에 입력되는 데이터의 적정 시간 길이를 결정하고, 공회전 기간 데이터와 전체 운행 데이터의 분석 결과를 비교하며, 다양한 센서 데이터 조합에 의한 최적 예측 방법을 도출하였다. 또한, 인공지능 방법으로 선택된 CNN의 예측 정확성을 검증하기 위해 LSTM 결과와 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 공회전 데이터를 이용하고, 공회전 기간보다 1.5배 많은 기간의 데이터를 이용하며 LSTM보다는 CNN을 활용하는 것이 더 좋은 예측결과를 보였다.

Purpose: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have rapidly emerged as one of the most promising artificial intelligence methods in the field of medical and dental research. CNNs can provide an effective diagnostic methodology allowing for the detection of early-staged diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of a deep CNN algorithm for apical lesion segmentation from panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods: A total of 1000 panoramic images showing apical lesions were separated into training (n=800, 80%), validation (n=100, 10%), and test (n=100, 10%) datasets. The performance of identifying apical lesions was evaluated by calculating the precision, recall, and F1-score. Results: In the test group of 180 apical lesions, 147 lesions were segmented from panoramic radiographs with an intersection over union (IoU) threshold of 0.3. The F1-score values, as a measure of performance, were 0.828, 0.815, and 0.742, respectively, with IoU thresholds of 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5. Conclusion: This study showed the potential utility of a deep learning-guided approach for the segmentation of apical lesions. The deep CNN algorithm using U-Net demonstrated considerably high performance in detecting apical lesions.

Compton imaging is the main method for locating radioactive hot spots emitting high-energy gamma-ray photons. In particular, this imaging method is crucial when the photon energy is too high for coded-mask aperture imaging methods to be effective or when a large field of view is required. Reconstruction of the photon source requires advanced Compton event processing algorithms to determine the exact position of the source. In this study, we introduce a novel method based on a Deep Learning algorithm with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to perform Compton imaging. This algorithm is trained on simulated data and tested on real data acquired with Caliste, a single planar CdTe pixelated detector. We show that performance in terms of source location accuracy is equivalent to state-of-the-art algorithms, while computation time is significantly reduced and sensitivity is improved by a factor of ~5 in the Caliste configuration.
