Recently, convolutional neural network(CNN) is preferred in the target classification due to the powerful feature representation ability and better performance. However,the training and testing of CNN mainly rely on single machine.Single machine has its natural limitation and bottleneck in processing RSIs due to limited hardware resources and huge time consuming. Besides, overfitting is a challenge for the CNN model due to the unbalance between RSIs data and the model structure.When a model is complex or the training data is relatively small,overfitting occurs and leads to a poor predictive performance. To address these problems, a distributed CNN architecture for RSIs target classification is proposed, which dramatically increases the training speed of CNN and system scalability. It improves the storage ability and processing efficiency of RSIs. Furthermore,Bayesian regularization approach is utilized in order to initialize the weights of the CNN extractor, which increases the robustness and flexibility of the CNN model. It helps prevent the overfitting and avoid the local optima caused by limited RSI training images or the inappropriate CNN structure. In addition, considering the efficiency of the Na¨?ve Bayes classifier, a distributed Na¨?ve Bayes classifier is designed to reduce the training cost. Compared with other algorithms, the proposed system and method perform the best and increase the recognition accuracy. The results show that the distributed system framework and the proposed algorithms are suitable for RSIs target classification tasks.展开更多

文摘Microseismic monitoring system is one of the effective methods for deep mining geo-stress monitoring.The principle of microseismic monitoring system is to analyze the mechanical parameters contained in microseismic events for providing accurate information of rockmass.The accurate identification of microseismic events and blasts determines the timeliness and accuracy of early warning of microseismic monitoring technology.An image identification model based on Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)is established in this paper for the seismic waveforms of microseismic events and blasts.Firstly,the training set,test set,and validation set are collected,which are composed of 5250,1500,and 750 seismic waveforms of microseismic events and blasts,respectively.The classified data sets are preprocessed and input into the constructed CNN in CPU mode for training.Results show that the accuracies of microseismic events and blasts are 99.46%and 99.33%in the test set,respectively.The accuracies of microseismic events and blasts are 100%and 98.13%in the validation set,respectively.The proposed method gives superior performance when compared with existed methods.The accuracies of models using logistic regression and artificial neural network(ANN)based on the same data set are 54.43%and 67.9%in the test set,respectively.Then,the ROC curves of the three models are obtained and compared,which show that the CNN gives an absolute advantage in this classification model when the original seismic waveform are used in training the model.It not only decreases the influence of individual differences in experience,but also removes the errors induced by source and waveform parameters.It is proved that the established discriminant method improves the efficiency and accuracy of microseismic data processing for monitoring rock instability and seismicity.

文摘Background Coronary artery calcification is a well-known marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden.High-resolution intravascular optical coherence tomography(OCT)imaging has shown the potential to characterize the details of coronary calcification in vivo.In routine clinical practice,it is a time-consuming and laborious task for clinicians to review the over 250 images in a single pullback.Besides,the imbalance label distribution within the entire pullbacks is another problem,which could lead to the failure of the classifier model.Given the success of deep learning methods with other imaging modalities,a thorough understanding of calcified plaque detection using Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)within pullbacks for future clinical decision was required.Methods All 33 IVOCT clinical pullbacks of 33 patients were taken from Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital,Nanjing University between December 2017 and December 2018.For ground-truth annotation,three trained experts determined the type of plaque that was present in a B-Scan.The experts assigned the labels'no calcified plaque','calcified plaque'for each OCT image.All experts were provided the all images for labeling.The final label was determined based on consensus between the experts,different opinions on the plaque type were resolved by asking the experts for a repetition of their evaluation.Before the implement of algorithm,all OCT images was resized to a resolution of 300×300,which matched the range used with standard architectures in the natural image domain.In the study,we randomly selected 26 pullbacks for training,the remaining data were testing.While,imbalance label distribution within entire pullbacks was great challenge for various CNNs architecture.In order to resolve the problem,we designed the following experiment.First,we fine-tuned twenty different CNNs architecture,including customize CNN architectures and pretrained CNN architectures.Considering the nature of OCT images,customize CNN architectures were designed that the layers were fewer than 25 layers.Then,three with good performance were selected and further deep fine-tuned to train three different models.The difference of CNNs was mainly in the model architecture,such as depth-based residual networks,width-based inception networks.Finally,the three CNN models were used to majority voting,the predicted labels were from the most voting.Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC AUC)were used as the evaluation metric for the imbalance label distribution.Results The imbalance label distribution within pullbacks affected both convergence during the training phase and generalization of a CNN model.Different labels of OCT images could be classified with excellent performance by fine tuning parameters of CNN architectures.Overall,we find that our final result performed best with an accuracy of 90%of'calcified plaque'class,which the numbers were less than'no calcified plaque'class in one pullback.Conclusions The obtained results showed that the method is fast and effective to classify calcific plaques with imbalance label distribution in each pullback.The results suggest that the proposed method could be facilitating our understanding of coronary artery calcification in the process of atherosclerosis andhelping guide complex interventional strategies in coronary arteries with superficial calcification.

文摘The absorbing boundary is the key in numerical simulation of borehole radar.Perfect match layer(PML) was chosen as the absorbing boundary in numerical simulation of GPR.But CPML(convolutional perfect match layer) approach that we have chosen has the advantage of being media independent.Beginning with the Maxwell equations in a two-dimensional structure,numerical formulas of finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method with CPML boundary condition for transverse electric(TE) or transverse magnetic(TM) wave are presented in details.Also,there are three models for borehole-GPR simulation.By analyzing the simulation results,the features of targets in GPR are obtained,which can provide a better interpretation of real radar data.The results show that CPML is well suited for the simulation of borehole-GPR.
文摘In this paper,based on a bidirectional parallel multi-branch feature pyramid network(BPMFPN),a novel one-stage object detector called BPMFPN Det is proposed for real-time detection of ground multi-scale targets by swarm unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs).First,the bidirectional parallel multi-branch convolution modules are used to construct the feature pyramid to enhance the feature expression abilities of different scale feature layers.Next,the feature pyramid is integrated into the single-stage object detection framework to ensure real-time performance.In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm,experiments are conducted on four datasets.For the PASCAL VOC dataset,the proposed algorithm achieves the mean average precision(mAP)of 85.4 on the VOC 2007 test set.With regard to the detection in optical remote sensing(DIOR)dataset,the proposed algorithm achieves 73.9 mAP.For vehicle detection in aerial imagery(VEDAI)dataset,the detection accuracy of small land vehicle(slv)targets reaches 97.4 mAP.For unmanned aerial vehicle detection and tracking(UAVDT)dataset,the proposed BPMFPN Det achieves the mAP of 48.75.Compared with the previous state-of-the-art methods,the results obtained by the proposed algorithm are more competitive.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the problem of real-time detection of ground multi-scale targets in aerial images of swarm UAVs.

文摘A new algorithm for segmentation of suspected lung ROI(regions of interest)by mean-shift clustering and multi-scale HESSIAN matrix dot filtering was proposed.Original image was firstly filtered by multi-scale HESSIAN matrix dot filters,round suspected nodular lesions in the image were enhanced,and linear shape regions of the trachea and vascular were suppressed.Then,three types of information,such as,shape filtering value of HESSIAN matrix,gray value,and spatial location,were introduced to feature space.The kernel function of mean-shift clustering was divided into product form of three kinds of kernel functions corresponding to the three feature information.Finally,bandwidths were calculated adaptively to determine the bandwidth of each suspected area,and they were used in mean-shift clustering segmentation.Experimental results show that by the introduction of HESSIAN matrix of dot filtering information to mean-shift clustering,nodular regions can be segmented from blood vessels,trachea,or cross regions connected to the nodule,non-nodular areas can be removed from ROIs properly,and ground glass object(GGO)nodular areas can also be segmented.For the experimental data set of 127 different forms of nodules,the average accuracy of the proposed algorithm is more than 90%.
