Wind turbine blade maintenance is expensive, dangerous, time-consuming, and prone to misdiagnosis. A potential solution to aid preventative maintenance is using deep learning and drones for inspection and early fault detection. In this research, five base deep learning architectures are investigated for anomaly detection on wind turbine blades, including Xception, Resnet-50, AlexNet, and VGG-19, along with a custom convolutional neural network. For further analysis, transfer learning approaches were also proposed and developed, utilizing these architectures as the feature extraction layers. In order to investigate model performance, a new dataset containing 6000 RGB images was created, making use of indoor and …

Ground Target Recognition And Damage Assessment Of Patrol Missiles Based On Multi-Source Information Fusion, Yibo Xu, Qinghua Yu, Yanjuan Wang, Ce Guo, Shiru Feng, Huimin Lu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: For the multiple patrol missiles to attack the high defense capacity targets, a mobile ground target detection and damage assessment method based on multi-source information fusion is proposed. The multi-source information fusion of infrared images and RGB images is carried out by using IoU determination. A novel two-stage tightly coupled damage assessment method based on YOLO-VGGNet of patrol missiles to mobile ground targets is proposed. This method can fully use the advantage of deep semantic information extraction of CNNs and introduce the infrared damaging information simultaneously to achieve the online and real-time damage assessment of mobile ground targets. The …

This study explores the use of Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) for semantic segmentation of flood images. Imagery datasets of urban flooding were used to train two DCNN-based models, and camera images were used to test the application of the models with real-world data. Validation results show that both models extracted flood extent with a mean F1-score over 0.9. The factors that affected the performance included still water surface with specular reflection, wet road surface, and low illumination. In testing, reduced visibility during a storm and raindrops on surveillance cameras were major problems that affected the segmentation of flood extent. …
