IECE Transactions on Internet of Things

This study introduces a method for efficiently detecting objects within 3D point clouds using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our approach adopts a unique feature-centric voting mechanism to construct convolutional layers that capitalize on the typical sparsity observed in input data. We explore the trade-off between accuracy and speed across diverse network architectures and advocate for integrating an L1 penalty on filter activations to augment sparsity within intermediate layers. This research pioneers the proposal of sparse convolutional layers combined with L1 regularization to effectively handle large-scale 3D data processing. Our method’s efficacy is demonstrated on the MVTec... More >

IECE Transactions on Internet of Things | Volume 2, Issue 3: 55-62, 2024 | DOI:10.62762/TIOT.2024.257019

Abstract

Monitoring the health condition of wind turbines is crucial to ensure the safety and efficient operation of wind farms. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide an economical and effective solution for such monitoring. However, when sensors detect faults in wind turbines, traditional WSN routing protocols often lead to redundant data transmission, resulting in energy waste. To address this issue, an event-triggered energy-efficient wireless routing protocol (EEWRP) is proposed specifically in this paper for wind turbine fault monitoring. The protocol improves the distributed energy-efficient clustering algorithm (DEEC) by first identifying the type of event and then using an adaptive dynamic... More >

Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, extracting latent information from medical data has become increasingly critical. Cardiovascular disease is now a major threat to human health, being one of the leading causes of mortality. Therefore, developing effective prediction methods for cardiovascular diseases is urgently needed. Current medical approaches primarily focus on disease detection rather than prediction, which limits early intervention. By leveraging computational methods, it is possible to predict cardiovascular disease in advance, enabling timely treatment and potentially reducing the disease’s impact. This study employs machine learning techniques, including Supp... More >

Abstract

Sea ice is a crucial component of the cryosphere, and extensive research has been conducted on sea ice using microwave remote sensing due to its robustness against cloud cover and illumination variations. This paper focuses on classifying Arctic sea ice based on microwave remote sensing data. Leveraging the high stability of microwave radiometers, we analyze the characteristics of different sea ice types across the Arctic region in January 2017 using high-resolution AMSR-E/AMSR2 data at the 89 GHz frequency band. Data at this frequency are less susceptible to cloud and water vapor interference, while lower frequency bands have traditionally been more commonly used in similar studies. However... More >

Abstract

To enhance the LOMAX algorithm for sea ice concentration analysis in the polar regions, SSM/I 91.6GHz data was utilized, addressing the underuse of higher frequency data. The refinement process involved redefining PCT values for one-year and multi-year ice regions through both interpolation and least squares methods. Moreover, band operations were conducted to facilitate Arctic multi-year ice concentration retrieval. Comparative analyses with the NT algorithm indicated that the Arctic sea ice extents determined by both algorithms were similar, affirming the credibility of the modified LOMAX algorithm. When examining the results for March and September, the updated LOMAX algorithm demonstrate... More >

Abstract

The volume and complexity of data in various fields, particularly in biology, are increasing exponentially, posing a challenge to existing analytical methods, which often struggle with high-dimensional data such as single-cell Hi-C data. To address this issue, we employ unsupervised methods, specifically Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), to reduce data dimensions for visualization. Furthermore, we assess the information retention of the decomposed components using a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) classifier model. Our findings indicate that these dimensionality reduction techniques effectively capture and present information not r... More >
