Abstract

Since late December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has had substantial impact and long-lasting impact on numerous lives. The surge in patients has overwhelmed hospitals and exhausted essential resources such as masks and gloves. However, in response to this crisis, we have developed a robust solution that can ease the burden on emergency services and manage the influx of patients. Our proposed framework comprises deep learning and machine learning models that can predict and manage patient demand with high accuracy. The first model, is specifically designed to classify computed tomography (CT) scan images for COVID or non-COVID cases. We trained multiple convolutional neural network (CNN) models on a large dataset of CT scan images and evaluated their performance on a separate test set. Our evaluation showed that the ResNet50 model was the most effective, achieving an accuracy of 93.28%. The second model uses patient measurements dataset to predict the likelihood of intensive care unit (ICU) admission for COVID-19 patients. We experimented with the XGBoost machine learning algorithm and found that the accuracy score achieved 88.40%.

Abstract

Forest ecosystems play a crucial role in providing a wide range of ecological, social, and economic benefits. However, the increasing frequency and severity of forest fires pose a significant threat to the sustainability of forests and their functions, highlighting the need for early detection and swift action to mitigate damage. The combination of drones and artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, proves to be a cost-effective solution for accurately and efficiently detecting forest fires in real-time. Deep learning-based image segmentation models can not only be employed for forest fire detection but also play a vital role in damage assessment and support reforestation efforts. Furthermore, the integration of thermal cameras on drones can significantly enhance the sensitivity in forest fire detection. This study undertakes an in-depth analysis of recent advancements in deep learning-based semantic segmentation, with a particular focus on model’s mask region convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) and you only look once (YOLO) v5, v7, and v8 variants. Emphasis is placed on their suitability for forest fire monitoring using drones equipped with RGB and/or thermal cameras. The conducted experiments have yielded encouraging outcomes across various metrics, underscoring its significance as an invaluable asset for both fire detection and continuous monitoring endeavors.
