Abstract

Rescue missions must be conducted within a strict timeframe, and the safety of all rescuers and civilians is prioritized. The proposed system aims to design a remote-operated aerial surveillance robot for disaster-affected areas for search and rescue missions. Real-time video transmission and RS-232 long-range communication enable operators to navigate rough environments and monitor data collected in real-time. This powerful tool ensures the protection of human life while collecting accurate and meaningful data. Cloud storage for data and surveillance strengthens the system, preventing part failure and fostering collaboration among users. This is a significant step towards using Internet of Things systems alongside remote-controlled robots in disaster response. The robot's key contribution to disaster management is identifying the environment, addressing issues of no visibility, complicated terrains, and speed. Its modification and expansion capabilities make it useful in armed surveillance, industrial monitoring, and environmental studies, making it an important innovation for many other fields.

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

Biological neural network (BNN) algorithms have become popular in coverage search in recent years. However, its edge activity values are weak, and it is simple to fall into a local optimum at a late stage of coverage. When applied to complex environments, the 3D BNN network structure has high computational and storage complexity. In order to solve the above problems, we propose an algorithm for multi-robot cooperative coverage of complex terrain based on an improved BNN. The algorithm models the complex terrain using a 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) elevation map. Combining the dual-layer BNN network with the 2.5D elevation map, we propose an elevation value priority mechanism. This mechanism lets the robot make elevation-based decisions and prioritizes higher terrain areas. The dual neural network's first layer plans the robot's path in normal mode. The second network layer helps the robot escape the local optimum. Finally, the algorithm's full coverage effect in complex terrains and the speed of covering high terrain are verified by simulations. The experiments show that our algorithm preferentially covers high points of the region and eventually covers 100% of complex terrain. Compared with other algorithms, our algorithm covers more efficiently and takes fewer steps than others. The speed of covering high terrain areas has increased by 34.51%.

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

Image segmentation seeks to distinguish the foreground from the background for further analysis. A recent study presented a new active contour model (ACM) for image segmentation, termed Gaussian regularization selective segmentation (GRSS). This interactive ACM is effective for segmenting certain objects in images. However, a weakness of the GRSS model becomes apparent when utilized on hazy images, as it is not intended for such conditions and produces inadequate outcomes. This paper introduces a new ACM for segmenting hazy images that hybridizes a pretrained deep learning model, namely DehazeNet, with the GRSS model. Specifically, the haze-free images are estimated using DehazeNet, which fuses the information with the GRSS model. The new formulation, designated as GRSS with DehazeNet (GDN), is addressed via the calculus of variations and executed in MATLAB software. The segmentation accuracy was evaluated by calculating Error, Jaccard, and Dice metrics, while efficiency was determined by measuring processing time. Despite the increased processing time, numerical experiments demonstrated that the GDN model achieved higher accuracy, as indicated by the lower error and higher Jaccard and Dice than the GRSS model. The GDN model can potentially be formulated in the vector-valued image domain in the future.
