Automated Aircraft Visual Inspection With Artificial Data Generation Enabled Deep Learning, Nathan J. Gaul 2022 Air Force Institute of Technology

Automated Aircraft Visual Inspection With Artificial Data Generation Enabled Deep Learning, Nathan J. Gaul

Theses and Dissertations

Aircraft visual inspection, which is essential to daily maintenance of an aircraft, is expensive and time-consuming to perform. Augmenting trained maintenance technicians with automated UAVs to collect and analyze images for aircraft inspection is an active research topic and a potential application of CNNs. Training datasets for niche research topics such as aircraft visual inspection are small and challenging to produce, and the manual process of labeling these datasets often produces subjective annotations. Recently, researchers have produced several successful applications of artificially generated datasets with domain randomization for training CNNs for real-world computer vision problems. The research outlined herein builds …

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Accurate prognosis of a tumor can help doctors provide a proper course of treatment and, therefore, save the lives of many. Tradi-tional machine learning algorithms have been eminently useful in crafting prognostic models in the last few decades. Recently, deep learning algorithms have shown significant improvement when developing diag-nosis and prognosis solutions to different healthcare problems. However, most of these solutions rely solely on either imaging or clinical data. Utilizing patient tabular data such as demographics and patient med-ical history alongside imaging data in a multimodal approach to solve a prognosis task has started to gain more interest recently and …

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Current level of detail (LOD) modeling methods do not combine simplification and subdivision, which results in models not being rich in detail level. Therefore, the energy operator was used to combine the simplification algorithm of a three-dimensional (3D) object model with the subdivision algorithm, and a LOD modeling method based on an energy operator was proposed for 3D objects. The method involves three major steps: calculation of energy operators for 3D models, model simplification and model subdivision based on an energy operator. Experiments show that this method can generate models with rich levels of detail and has good visualization …

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The excessive amount of data and information in the situation map is likely to produce a huge cognitive load that exceeds the physiological limit. This can lead to delays in the perception, judgment, and decision-making of the commander, or even failure of decision-making activities in severe cases. For this reason, situation information needs to be processed to assess and highlight situational hotspots so that cognitive overload can be tackled. Based on the aggregation factors of collaborative targets, this paper takes the effective impact possibility of situational targets and the collaboration as the indicators, derives the attention function, and designs …

In this method, the cutting plane and the cutting line are automatically formed according to the positions of seed points. The detection range is determined by the search for the position with the greatest negative curvature on the cutting line. The …
