Abstract

Existing automatic road map extraction approaches on remote sensing images often fail because they cannot understand the spatial context of an image. Mainly because they could not learn the spatial context of the image and only knew the structure or texture of the image. These approaches only focus on regional accuracy instead of connectivity. Therefore, most approaches produce discontinuous outputs caused by buildings, shadows, and similarity to rivers. This study addresses the challenge of automatic road extraction, focusing on enhancing road connectivity and segmentation accuracy by proposing a network-based road extraction that uses a spatial intensifier module (DULR) and densely connected U-Net architecture (SDUNet) with a connectivity-preserving loss function (CP_clDice) called CP_SDUNet. This study analyzes the CP_clDice loss function for the road extraction task compared to the BCE Loss function to train the SDUNet model. The result shows that CP_SDUNet, performs best using an image size of 128×128 pixels and trained with the whole dataset with a combination of 20% clDice and 80% dice loss. The proposed method obtains a clDice score of 0.85 and an Interest over Union (IoU) score of 0.65 for the testing data. These findings demonstrate the potential of CP_SDUNet for reliable road extraction.

Abstract

The deployment of Internet of things (IoT) technologies presents an opportunity to improve efficiency in cricket farming. This study investigates the implementation of an IoT-based system utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller, a suite of environmental sensors, and actuators. The system is supported by a ThingsBoard dashboard for data visualization and a Telegram bot for notifications. The setup was tested on a single cricket cage over a 28-day period and compared against a control group. Each cage contained 20 male and 100 female Cliring crickets. Key parameters analyzed included temperature, humidity, soil moisture, egg yield, food conversion ratio (FCR), and mortality rate. Findings show that the IoT-enabled cage consistently maintained optimal environmental conditions—temperature (20 to 32 °C), humidity (65% to 85%), and soil moisture (60% to 80%)—unlike the control, which experienced greater variability. The IoT cage yielded 87.28 grams of eggs, a 33.33% improvement over the control's 65.46 grams. Additionally, FCR improved from 2.53 to 2.01 grams per egg, and mortality rate dropped from 0.816 to 0.708. These results underscore the effectiveness of IoT systems in enhancing environmental stability, productivity, and survival rates in small- to medium-scale cricket farming operations.

Abstract

The current paper was designed to understand how to form the acceptance behavior of golfers toward robotic golf caddies, which conducted a hypothetico-deductive approach. The study focused on two questions: i) Can the TTF theory explain the acceptance behavior of golfers toward robotic golf caddies? ii) Do perceived risks negatively affect the acceptance behavior of golfers toward robotic golf caddies? Thus, the study postulated the impacts of task/technology characteristics and the five perceived risks (i.e. financial, time, privacy, performance, and psychological) on task technology fit, and the link between task technology fit and behavioral intentions. The data was collected from 387 golfers in South Korea, and the hypotheses tests were conducted by structural equation modeling. The results of the data analysis indicate that both task and technology characteristics increase task technology fit, and the four dimensions of perceived risks, which include time, privacy, performance, and psychology, have a negative influence on task technology fit. In addition, task technology fit also increases behavioral intentions. The study provides theoretical contributions by filling the acknowledged research gaps, and it also presents managerial implications in regard to commercializing robotic caddies in the golf industry.

Abstract

Many health institutes maintain patients’ diagnosis and treatment reports as scanned images. For healthcare analytics and research, large volumes of digitally stored patient information have to be accessed, but the privacy requirements of protected health information (PHI) limit the research opportunities. Particularly in this artificial intelligence (AI) era, deep learning models require large datasets for training purposes, which hospitals cannot share unless the PHI fields are de-identified. Manual de-identification is beyond possible, with millions of patient records generated in hospitals every day. Hence, this work aims to automate the de-identification of clinical document images utilizing AI models, particularly pre-trained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) models. For the purpose of experimentation, a synthetic dataset of 550 clinical document images was generated, encompassing data obtained from diverse patients across multiple hospitals. This work presents a two-stage transfer learning approach, initially employing Tesseract character recognition (OCR) to convert clinical document images into text. Subsequently, it extracts PHI fields from the text for de-identification. For the purpose of extraction, BERT models were utilized; in this work, we contrasted six pre-trained versions of such models to examine their effectiveness and achieve the F1 score of 92.45%, thus showing better potential for de-identifying PHI data in clinical documents.

Abstract

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are established in manufacturing due to their simple design, robustness, and wide-ranging industrial applications. However, traditional PID controllers often struggle with the complexity and nonlinearity behaviors inherent in many control systems. As a result, ongoing and future research is focused on developing more stable PID controllers that function efficiently without heavily depending on exact mathematical models, by fine-tuning controller parameters. This study explores several PID-based controllers, including non-linear PID (N-PID), multi-rate non-linear PID (MN-PID), and self-regulating nonlinear PID (SN-PID), assessing and contrasting their performance. The efficacy and robustness of these control mechanisms are substantiated through comparative analyses with the sliding mode control technique, employing experimental data from a pneumatic actuator system to assess performance across varying load scenarios. SN-PID outperforms sliding mode controller (SMC) by 90.97% and PID by 89.90%, followed by MN-PID (85.58% over SMC, 83.86% over PID) and N-PID (78.08% over SMC, 75.49% over PID), while PID offers only 10.63% improvement over SMC. These findings provide valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing controller performance. These insights aim to guide control engineers in selecting the most appropriate N-PID design strategy for specific applications, ultimately improving system performance and operational efficiency in industrial environments.

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) encompasses a variety of connected devices and technologies designed to improve care, monitoring, and management of pets. IoT technology enables voice or app-driven control of these feeders, allowing pet guardians to remotely dispense food to their pets anytime. In this paper, a novel deep-feed network has been proposed that combines Image and sensor data classification. The inputs, such as camera (images) and sensor data, are sent to the preprocessing stages, where images are preprocessed using a Bilateral filter, and the data using preprocessing techniques such as tokenization, lemmatization, etc. The preprocessed images are sent to the neural network, like a convolutional neural network (CNN) for image classification and a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) to predict the dog's behavior. Next, these two networks are fused, and the fuzzy concept identifies whether the dogs are near the food or not in a cage. If the dog is near the food cage, the control unit will allocate the food and water through the water pump in the dog cage. Then the control unit gives the order to fill the food and water pumps and alerts the user to identify the food in a cage via the Blynk application. The accuracy of the suggested method can reach 99.95%, compared to 84.9%, 87.58%, and 93.91% for conventional models like the cat's monitoring and feeding systems via IoT (CMFSVI), petification, and global system for mobile communications/general packet radio service (GSM/GPRS). In comparison to the current approaches, the accuracy of the suggested methodology increased by 16.09%, 13.8%, and 3.75%, for existing models like CMFSVI, petification, and GSM/GPRS, respectively.

Abstract

Finite impulse response (FIR) filters are widely utilized in several applications in digital signal processing, including data transmission, photography, digital audio, and biomedicine. It is necessary to use high sample rates for FIR filters, while moderate sample rates are needed for low-power circuits. To solve these problems, a Booth multiplier based on three-four inexact adder-based multiplication (TFIE-BM) was proposed. The goal of the proposed TFIE-based FIR Booth multiplier is to lower area usage, latency, and power consumption. The proposed method utilizes the spotted hyena optimizer (SHO) to find the optimal filter coefficient (FC) by minimizing the pass power consumption and Transition bandwidth. Moreover, a high-performance three-four inexact adder (TIFE adder) has been introduced, which uses fewer XOR gates for sum and carry generation, indicating that the logic has been simplified to reduce hardware complexity. By increasing speed and decreasing the FIR filter's critical path delay, a modified Booth multiplier that uses a 5:2 compressor is introduced. The overall delay of the proposed approach is 23.4%, 18.7%, 12.3%, and 5.7% lower than that of the Radix-4 Booth multiplier, CSA Booth multiplier, hybrid multiplier, and traditional Booth multiplier, respectively.
