Abstract

The objectives of this research were developing a model for forecasting vegetable prices in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province using random forest and comparing the forecast results of different crops. The information used in this paper were monthly climate data and average monthly vegetable prices collected between 2011 – 2020 from Nakhon Si Thammarat meteorological station and Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Commercial Office, respectively. We evaluated model performance based on mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE). The experimental results showed that the random forest model was able to predict the prices of vegetables, including pumpkin, eggplant, and lentils with high accuracy with MAPE values of 0.09, 0.07, and 0.15, with RMSE values of 1.82, 1.46, and 2.33, and with MAE values of 3.32, 2.15, and 5.42, respectively. The forecast model derived from this research can be beneficial for vegetable planting planning in the Pak Phanang River Basin of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand.

Abstract

Concrete crack detection is essential for structural maintenance, yet traditional manual inspection methods are time-consuming and require specialized expertise. While deep learning offers promising solutions, existing models often demand high computational resources unsuitable for mobile deployment. This research evaluates three convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, namely mobile network (MobileNet), visual geometry group-16 (VGG-16), and residual network-50 (ResNet-50), to identify an optimal model for practical mobile-based crack detection. A dataset of 1,634 images was collected from online databases and field documentation, categorized into 10 classes across three severity levels: i) severe cracks requiring urgent repair (30%); ii) cracks requiring monitoring (40%); and iii) minor cracks (30%). The models were trained using standardized parameters with 224×224-pixel RGB input, rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation, and softmax classification. Systematic parameter optimization was conducted across epochs, learning rate, dropout rate, and optimizer selection, with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) identified as the optimal optimizer. Experimental results demonstrate that MobileNet achieves the best performance with 80% accuracy and a compact model size of 13.1 megabytes. This study concludes that MobileNet provides an optimal balance between detection accuracy and computational efficiency, enabling practical field deployment for automated concrete crack detection, with expert verification recommended for critical structural assessments.
