In this study, we comprehensively analyze the generalization performance of various deep learning-based active sonar target classifiers when applied to small and imbalanced active sonar datasets. To generate the active sonar datasets, we use data from two different oceanic experiments conducted at different times and ocean. Each sample in the active sonar datasets is a time-frequency domain image, which is extracted from audio signal of contact after the detection process. For the comprehensive analysis, we utilize 22 Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models. Two datasets are used as train/validation datasets and test datasets, alternatively. To calculate the variance in the output of the target classifiers, the train/validation/test datasets are repeated 10 times. Hyperparameters for training are optimized using Bayesian optimization. The results demonstrate that shallow CNN models show superior robustness and generalization performance compared to most of deep CNN models. The results from this paper can serve as a valuable reference for future research directions in deep learning-based active sonar target classification.

This paper proposes a method for classifying the grade of stainless steel using a portable NIR(Near Infrared Ray) spectrometer and a CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) deep learning model. Traditionally, methods for classifying stainless steel grades have included chemical analysis, magnetic testing, molybdenum spot tests, and portable XRF devices. In addition, a classification method using a machine learning model with element concentration and heat treatment temperature as parameters was presented in the paper. However, these methods are limited in their application to everyday products, such as kitchenware and cookware, due to the need for reagents, specialized equipment, or reliance on professional services. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a simple method for classifying the grade of stainless steel using a NIR spectrometer and a CNN model. If the method presented in this paper is installed on a portable device as an on-device in the future, it will be possible to determine the grade of stainless steel used in the product, and to determine on-site whether a product made of low-cost material has been disguised as a high-cost product.

We propose a rapid adaptive learning framework for streaming object detection, called EER-ASSL. The method combines the expected error reduction (EER) dependent rollback learning and the active semi-supervised learning (ASSL) for a rapid adaptive CNN detector. Most CNN object detectors are built on the assumption of static data distribution. However, images are often noisy and biased, and the data distribution is imbalanced in a real world environment. The proposed method consists of collaborative sampling and EER-ASSL. The EER-ASSL utilizes the active learning (AL) and rollback based semi-supervised learning (SSL). The AL allows us to select more informative and representative samples measuring uncertainty and diversity. The SSL divides the selected streaming image samples into the bins and each bin repeatedly transfers the discriminative knowledge of the EER and CNN models to the next bin until convergence and incorporation with the EER rollback learning algorithm is achieved. The EER models provide a rapid short-term myopic adaptation and the CNN models an incremental long-term performance improvement. EER-ASSL can overcome noisy and biased labels in varying data distribution. Extensive experiments shows that EER-ASSL obtained 70.9 mAP compared to state-of-the-art technology such as Faster RCNN, SSD300, and YOLOv2.

Human activities are often affected by weather conditions. Automatic weather recognition is meaningful to traffic alerting, driving assistance, and intelligent traffic. With the boost of deep learning and AI, deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) are utilized to identify weather situations. In this paper, a three-channel convolutional neural network (3C-CNN) model is proposed on the basis of ResNet50.The model extracts global weather features from the whole image through the ResNet50 branch, and extracts the sky and ground features from the top and bottom regions by two CNN5 branches. Then the global features and the local features are merged by the Concat function. Finally, the weather image is classified by Softmax classifier and the identification result is output. In addition, a medium-scale dataset containing 6,185 outdoor weather images named WeatherDataset-6 is established. 3C-CNN is used to train and test both on the Two-class Weather Images and WeatherDataset-6. The experimental results show that 3C-CNN achieves best on both datasets, with the average recognition accuracy up to 94.35% and 95.81% respectively, which is superior to other classic convolutional neural networks such as AlexNet, VGG16, and ResNet50. It is prospected that our method can also work well for images taken at night with further improvement.

In this paper, we introduce the methodology that utilizes deep learning-based front-end to enhance underwater feature matching. Both optical camera and sonar are widely applicable sensors in underwater research, however, each sensor has its own weaknesses, such as light condition and turbidity for the optic camera, and noise for sonar. To overcome the problems, we proposed the opti-acoustic transformation method. Since feature detection in sonar image is challenging, we converted the sonar image to an optic style image. Maintaining the main contents in the sonar image, CNN-based style transfer method changed the style of the image that facilitates feature detection. Finally, we verified our result using cosine similarity comparison and feature matching against the original optic image.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been used extensively in recent times to solve image classification and segmentation problems. However, the use of CNNs in image super-resolution problems remains largely unexploited. Filter interpolation and prediction model methods are the most commonly used algorithms in super-resolution algorithm implementations. The major limitation in the above named methods is that images become totally blurred and a lot of the edge information are lost. In this paper, we analyze super resolution based on CNN and the wavelet transform super resolution method. We compare and analyze the performance according to the number of layers and the training data of the CNN.

This study proposes a technique for the determination of outlet blockage using deep learning in a conveyor system. The proposed method aims to apply the best model to the actual process, where we train various CNN models for the determination of outlet blockage using images collected by CCTV in an industrial scene. We used the well-known CNN model such as VGGNet, ResNet, DenseNet and NASNet, and used 18,000 images collected by CCTV for model training and performance evaluation. As a experiment result with various models, VGGNet showed the best performance with 99.03% accuracy and 29.05ms processing time, and we confirmed that VGGNet is suitable for the determination of outlet blockage.

In this paper, we proposed a shaking image stabilization algorithm using deep learning. The proposed algorithm utilizes deep learning, unlike some 2D, 2.5D and 3D based stabilization techniques. The proposed algorithm is an algorithm that extracts and compares features of shaky images through CNN network structure and LSTM network structure, and transforms images in reverse order of movement size and direction of feature points through the difference of feature point between previous frame and current frame. The algorithm for stabilizing the shake is implemented by using CNN network and LSTM structure using Tensorflow for feature extraction and comparison of each frame. Image stabilization is implemented by using OpenCV open source. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be used to stabilize the camera shake stability in the up, down, left, and right shaking images.
