This study aims to predict the change in corn share according to the grazing of 20 gestational sows in a mature corn field by taking images with a camera-equipped unmanned air vehicle (UAV). Deep learning based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has been verified for its performance in various areas. It has also demonstrated high recognition accuracy and detection time in agricultural applications such as pest and disease diagnosis and prediction. A large amount of data is required to train CNNs effectively. Still, since UAVs capture only a limited number of images, we propose a data augmentation method that can effectively increase data. And most occupancy prediction predicts occupancy by designing a CNN-based object detector for an image and counting the number of recognized objects or calculating the number of pixels occupied by an object. These methods require complex occupancy rate calculations; the accuracy depends on whether the object features of interest are visible in the image. However, in this study, CNN is not approached as a corn object detection and classification problem but as a function approximation and regression problem so that the occupancy rate of corn objects in an image can be represented as the CNN output. The proposed method effectively estimates occupancy for a limited number of cornfield photos, shows excellent prediction accuracy, and confirms the potential and scalability of deep learning.

For the problem that the face image of surveillance video cannot be accurately identified due to the low resolution, this paper proposes a low resolution face recognition solution based on convolutional neural network model. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) model for multi-scale input The CNN model for multi-scale input is an improvement over the existing "two-step method" in which low-resolution images are up-sampled using a simple bi-cubic interpolation method. Then, the up sampled image and the high-resolution image are mixed as a model training sample. The CNN model learns the common feature space of the high- and low-resolution images, and then measures the feature similarity through the cosine distance. Finally, the recognition result is given. The experiments on the CMU PIE and Extended Yale B datasets show that the accuracy of the model is better than other comparison methods. Compared with the CMDA_BGE algorithm with the highest recognition rate, the accuracy rate is 2.5%~9.9%.

A convolutional neural network (CNN), which is one of the deep learning models, has been very successful in a variety of computer vision tasks. Filters of a CNN are automatically generated, however, they can be further optimized since there exist the possibility of existing redundant and less important features. Therefore, the aim of this paper is a filter reduction to accelerate and compress CNN models. Evolutionary algorithms is adopted to remove the unnecessary filters in order to minimize the parameters of CNN networks while maintaining a good performance of classification. We demonstrate the proposed filter reduction methods performing experiments on CIFAR10 data based on the classification performance. The comparison for three approaches is analysed and the outlook for the potential next steps is suggested.

Recently, computer vision application is increasing by using CNN which is one of the deep learning algorithms. However, CNN does not provide perfect classification performance due to gradient vanishing problem. Most of CNN algorithms use an activation function called ReLU to mitigate the gradient vanishing problem. In this study, four activation functions that can replace ReLU were applied to four different structural networks. Experimental results show that ReLU has the lowest performance in accuracy, loss rate, and speed of initial learning convergence from 20 experiments. It is concluded that the optimal activation function varied from network to network but the four activation functions were higher than ReLU.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) show high performance in the computer vision, but they require an enormous amount of operations, making them unsuitable for some resource- or energy-starving environments like the embedded environments. To overcome this problem, there have been much research on accelerators or pruning of CNNs. The previous pruning schemes have not considered the architecture of CNN accelerators, so the accelerators for the pruned CNNs have some inefficiency. This paper proposes a new pruning scheme, Conv-XP, which considers the architecture of CNN accelerators. In Conv-XP, the pruning is performed following the 'X' or '+' shape. The Conv-XP scheme induces a simple architecture of the CNN accelerators. The experimental results show that the Conv-XP scheme does not degrade the accuracy of CNNs, and that the accelerator area can be reduced by 12.8%.

This paper proposes the learning method of an artificial neural network and a convolutional neural network using the WFSO algorithm developed as an optimization algorithm. Since the optimization algorithm searches based on a number of candidate solutions, it has a drawback in that it is generally slow, but it rarely falls into the local optimal solution and it is easy to parallelize. In addition, the artificial neural networks with non-differentiable activation functions can be trained and the structure and weights can be optimized at the same time. In this paper, we describe how to apply WFSO algorithm to artificial neural network learning and compare its performances with error back-propagation algorithm in multilayer artificial neural networks and convolutional neural networks.

In this paper, we propose a speech emotion recognition method using a deep neural network based on the attention mechanism. The proposed method consists of a combination of CNN (Convolution Neural Networks), GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), DNN (Deep Neural Networks) and attention mechanism. The spectrogram of the speech signal contains characteristic patterns according to the emotion. Therefore, we modeled characteristic patterns according to the emotion by applying the tuned Gabor filters as convolutional filter of typical CNN. In addition, we applied the attention mechanism with CNN and FC (Fully-Connected) layer to obtain the attention weight by considering context information of extracted features and used it for emotion recognition. To verify the proposed method, we conducted emotion recognition experiments on six emotions. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves higher performance in speech emotion recognition than the conventional methods.

Recently, deep learning and machine learning have attracted considerable attention and many supporting frameworks appeared. In artificial intelligence field, a large body of research is underway to apply the relevant knowledge for complex problem-solving, necessitating the application of various learning algorithms and training methods to artificial intelligence systems. In addition, there is a dearth of performance evaluation of decision making agents. The decision making agent that can find optimal solutions by using reinforcement learning methods designed through this research can collect raw pixel data observed from dynamic environments and make decisions by itself based on the data. The decision making agent uses convolutional neural networks to classify situations it confronts, and the data observed from the environment undergoes preprocessing before being used. This research represents how the convolutional neural networks and the decision making agent are configured, analyzes learning performance through a value-based algorithm and a policy-based algorithm : a Deep Q-Networks and a Policy Gradient, sets forth their differences and demonstrates how the convolutional neural networks affect entire learning performance when using pixel data. This research is expected to contribute to the improvement of artificial intelligence systems which can efficiently find optimal solutions by using features extracted from raw pixel data.

Human activities are often affected by weather conditions. Automatic weather recognition is meaningful to traffic alerting, driving assistance, and intelligent traffic. With the boost of deep learning and AI, deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) are utilized to identify weather situations. In this paper, a three-channel convolutional neural network (3C-CNN) model is proposed on the basis of ResNet50.The model extracts global weather features from the whole image through the ResNet50 branch, and extracts the sky and ground features from the top and bottom regions by two CNN5 branches. Then the global features and the local features are merged by the Concat function. Finally, the weather image is classified by Softmax classifier and the identification result is output. In addition, a medium-scale dataset containing 6,185 outdoor weather images named WeatherDataset-6 is established. 3C-CNN is used to train and test both on the Two-class Weather Images and WeatherDataset-6. The experimental results show that 3C-CNN achieves best on both datasets, with the average recognition accuracy up to 94.35% and 95.81% respectively, which is superior to other classic convolutional neural networks such as AlexNet, VGG16, and ResNet50. It is prospected that our method can also work well for images taken at night with further improvement.
