Transfer Learning Based High-Precision Multi-Class Object Detection for Real-Time UAV Autonomous Landing via YOLOv8l in Unstructured Scenarios
Abstract: A significant challenge for autonomous drone landings in unstructured environments is that of reliably detecting and identifying objects in real-time to ensure safety and accuracy of the landing area. This paper presents a well-founded method for solving this problem using the YOLOv8l object detection framework to detect landing zones, obstacles and people in the relevant vicinity of the landing area. The dataset used for the training of the model contained …

Melanoma Skin Cancer Detection Using Deep Learning
Abstract: Melanoma, a fatal type of skin cancer, is a major global health concern. For better patient outcomes, early and precise detection is essential. A branch of artificial intelligence called deep learning has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in medical image analysis, particularly the identification of skin cancer, in recent years. We present a new method for detecting melanoma skin cancer in this paper by utilizing the ResNet-50 architecture, a deep convolutional neural …

Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …

Transfer Learning in Deep Learning Models for Medical Imaging: Utilizing Pretrained Models to Improve Performance in Medical Image Analysis
Abstract: Transfer learning is now a trending technique in deep learning, especially in medical imaging. This technique solves landmark problems by utilizing the pre-trained models, including the limited availability of the annotated medical data and the time-consuming computational costs of training deep learning models from scratch. The generalizability of deep models could increase diagnostic precision for specific medical tasks, require fewer samples to train, and take less time to train due …

Accelerating Unsupervised Feature Learning: Parallelized Training of Denoising Autoencoders
Abstract: Unsupervised representation learning has become a cornerstone of contemporary machine learning, enabling algorithms to extract informative features from un-labelled, high-dimensional data. This work investigates the efficacy of stacked denoising autoencoders (SDAEs) trained via parallelized stochastic gradient descent (SGD) as a scalable approach to feature extraction. By strategically leveraging multi-threaded computation, our study systematically examines the trade-offs between increased parallelism, training efficiency, and the preservation of model accuracy. Experiments on the …
