The purpose of this study is to diagnose diseases in pepper crops using YOLOv8, ResNet50, and Faster R-CNN models and compare their performance. The first model utilizes YOLOv8 for disease diagnosis, the second model uses ResNet50 alone, the third model combines YOLOv8 and ResNet50, and the fourth model uses Faster R-CNN. The performance of each model was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score. The results show that the combined YOLOv8 and ResNet50 model achieved the highest performance, while the YOLOv8 standalone model also demonstrated high performance.

The degradation of coastal ecosystems and fishery environments is accelerating due to the recent phenomenon of invertebrate grazers. To effectively monitor and implement preventive measures for this phenomenon, the adoption of remote sensing-based monitoring technology for extensive maritime areas is imperative. In this study, we compared and analyzed the robustness of deep learning-based object detection modelsfor detecting and monitoring invertebrate grazersfrom underwater videos. We constructed an image dataset targeting seven representative species of invertebrate grazers in the coastal waters of South Korea and trained deep learning-based object detection models, You Only Look Once (YOLO)v7 and YOLOv8, using this dataset. We evaluated the detection performance and speed of a total of six YOLO models (YOLOv7, YOLOv7x, YOLOv8s, YOLOv8m, YOLOv8l, YOLOv8x) and conducted robustness evaluations considering various image distortions that may occur during underwater filming. The evaluation results showed that the YOLOv8 models demonstrated higher detection speed (approximately 71 to 141 FPS [frame per second]) compared to the number of parameters. In terms of detection performance, the YOLOv8 models (mean average precision [mAP] 0.848 to 0.882) exhibited better performance than the YOLOv7 models (mAP 0.847 to 0.850). Regarding model robustness, it was observed that the YOLOv7 models were more robust to shape distortions, while the YOLOv8 models were relatively more robust to color distortions. Therefore, considering that shape distortions occur less frequently in underwater video recordings while color distortions are more frequent in coastal areas, it can be concluded that utilizing YOLOv8 models is a valid choice for invertebrate grazer detection and monitoring in coastal waters.

A large amount of floating debris from land-based sources during heavy rainfall has negative social, economic, and environmental impacts, but there is a lack of monitoring systems for floating debris accumulation areas and amounts. With the recent development of artificial intelligence technology, there is a need to quickly and efficiently study large areas of water systems using drone imagery and deep learning-based object detection models. In this study, we acquired various images as well as drone images and trained with You Only Look Once (YOLO)v5s and the recently developed YOLO7 and YOLOv8s to compare the performance of each model to propose an efficient detection technique for land-based floating debris. The qualitative performance evaluation of each model showed that all three models are good at detecting floating debris under normal circumstances, but the YOLOv8s model missed or duplicated objects when the image was overexposed or the water surface was highly reflective of sunlight. The quantitative performance evaluation showed that YOLOv7 had the best performance with a mean Average Precision (intersection over union, IoU 0.5) of 0.940, which was better than YOLOv5s (0.922) and YOLOv8s (0.922). As a result of generating distortion in the color and high-frequency components to compare the performance of models according to data quality, the performance degradation of the YOLOv8s model was the most obvious, and the YOLOv7 model showed the lowest performance degradation. This study confirms that the YOLOv7 model is more robust than the YOLOv5s and YOLOv8s models in detecting land-based floating debris. The deep learning-based floating debris detection technique proposed in this study can identify the spatial distribution of floating debris by category, which can contribute to the planning of future cleanup work.

The sustainable management and enhancement of marine resources are becoming increasingly important issues worldwide. This study was conducted in response to these challenges, focusing on the development and performance comparison of fish detection and classification models as part of a deep learning-based technique for assessing the effectiveness of marine resource enhancement projects initiated by the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency. The aim was to select the optimal model by training various sizes of YOLOv8-Seg models on a fish image dataset and comparing each performance metric. The dataset used for model construction consisted of 36,749 images and label files of 12 different species of fish, with data diversity enhanced through the application of augmentation techniques during training. When training and validating five different YOLOv8-Seg models under identical conditions, the medium-sized YOLOv8m-Seg model showed high learning efficiency and excellent detection and classification performance, with the shortest training time of 13 h and 12 min, an of 0.933, and an inference speed of 9.6 ms. Considering the balance between each performance metric, this was deemed the most efficient model for meeting real-time processing requirements. The use of such real-time fish detection and classification models could enable effective surveys of marine resource enhancement projects, suggesting the need for ongoing performance improvements and further research.

In this study, we implemented a real-time pest detection and prediction system for a strawberry farm using a computer vision model based on the YOLOv5 architecture and an Isolation Forest Classifier. The model performance evaluation showed that the YOLOv5 model achieved a mean average precision (mAP 0.5) of 78.7%, an accuracy of 92.8%, a recall of 90.0%, and an F1-score of 76%, indicating high predictive performance. This system was designed to be applicable not only to strawberry farms but also to other crops and various environments. Based on data collected from a tomato farm, a new AI model was trained, resulting in a prediction accuracy of over 85% for major diseases such as late blight and yellow leaf curl virus. Compared to the previous model, this represented an improvement of more than 10% in prediction accuracy.

Purpose: This study proposes a fall detection model based on a top-down deep learning pose estimation model to automatically determine falls of multiple workers in an underground utility tunnel, and evaluates the performance of the proposed model. Method: A model is presented that combines fall discrimination rules with the results inferred from YOLOv8-pose, one of the top-down pose estimation models, and metrics of the model are evaluated for images of standing and falling two or fewer workers in the tunnel. The same process is also conducted for a bottom-up type of pose estimation model (OpenPose). In addition, due to dependency of the falling interference of the models on worker detection by YOLOv8-pose and OpenPose, metrics of the models for fall was not only investigated, but also for person. Result: For worker detection, both YOLOv8-pose and OpenPose models have F1-score of 0.88 and 0.71, respectively. However, for fall detection, the metrics were deteriorated to 0.71 and 0.23. The results of the OpenPose based model were due to partially detected worker body, and detected workers but fail to part them correctly. Conclusion: Use of top-down type of pose estimation models would be more effective way to detect fall of workers in the underground utility tunnel, with respect to joint recognition and partition between workers.

In this paper, we propose a method to recognize the braille blocks for embedded devices in real time through deep learning. First, a deep learning model for braille block recognition is trained on a high-performance computer, and the learning model is applied to a lightweight tool to apply to an embedded device. To recognize the walking information of the braille block, an algorithm is used to determine the path using the distance from the braille block in the image. After detecting braille blocks, bollards, and crosswalks through the YOLOv8 model in the video captured by the embedded device, the walking information is recognized through the braille block path discrimination algorithm. We apply the model lightweight tool to YOLOv8 to detect braille blocks in real time. The precision of YOLOv8 model weights is lowered from the existing 32 bits to 8 bits, and the model is optimized by applying the TensorRT optimization engine. As the result of comparing the lightweight model through the proposed method with the existing model, the path recognition accuracy is 99.05%, which is almost the same as the existing model, but the recognition speed is reduced by 59% compared to the existing model, processing about 15 frames per second.

Paralichthys olivaceus accounts for a large proportion, accounting for more than half of Korea's aquaculture industry. However, about 25-30% of the total breeding volume throughout the year occurs due to diseases, which has a very bad impact on the economic feasibility of fish farms. For the economic growth of Paralichthys olivaceus farms, it is necessary to quickly and accurately diagnose disease symptoms by automating the diagnosis of Paralichthys olivaceus diseases. In this study, we create training data using innovative data collection methods, refining data algorithms, and techniques for partitioning dataset, and compare the Paralichthys olivaceus disease symptom detection performance of four object detection deep learning models(such as YOLOv8, Swin, Vitdet, MvitV2). The experimental findings indicate that the YOLOv8 model demonstrates superiority in terms of average detection rate (mAP) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). If the performance of the AI model proposed in this study is verified, Paralichthys olivaceus farms can diagnose disease symptoms in real time, and it is expected that the productivity of the farm will be greatly improved by rapid preventive measures according to the diagnosis results.
