Regular exercise is a crucial aspect of daily life, as it enables individuals to stay physically active, lowers thelikelihood of developing illnesses, and enhances life expectancy. The recognition of workout actions in videostreams holds significant importance in computer vision research, as it aims to enhance exercise adherence, enableinstant recognition, advance fitness tracking technologies, and optimize fitness routines. However, existing actiondatasets often lack diversity and specificity for workout actions, hindering the development of accurate recognitionmodels. To address this gap, the Workout Action Video dataset (WAVd) has been introduced as a significantcontribution. WAVd comprises a diverse collection of labeled workout action videos, meticulously curated toencompass various exercises performed by numerous individuals in different settings. This research proposes aninnovative framework based on the Attention driven Residual Deep Convolutional-Gated Recurrent Unit (ResDCGRU)network for workout action recognition in video streams. Unlike image-based action recognition, videoscontain spatio-temporal information, making the task more complex and challenging. While substantial progresshas been made in this area, challenges persist in detecting subtle and complex actions, handling occlusions,and managing the computational demands of deep learning approaches. The proposed ResDC-GRU Attentionmodel demonstrated exceptional classification performance with 95.81% accuracy in classifying workout actionvideos and also outperformed various state-of-the-art models. The method also yielded 81.6%, 97.2%, 95.6%, and93.2% accuracy on established benchmark datasets, namely HMDB51, Youtube Actions, UCF50, and UCF101,respectively, showcasing its superiority and robustness in action recognition. The findings suggest practicalimplications in real-world scenarios where precise video action recognition is paramount, addressing the persistingchallenges in the field. TheWAVd dataset serves as a catalyst for the development ofmore robust and effective fitnesstracking systems and ultimately promotes healthier lifestyles through improved exercise monitoring and analysis.

Sea cucumber culture and fishing are primarily dependent on manual work.For fast and accurate automatic identification of sea cucumbers,deep residual networks with different configures were conducted in this experiment to identify underwater sea cucumber.Sea cucumber images were captured by a C-Watch remotely operated underwater vehicle(ROV)in a sea cucumber fishery at Haiyang Qiandao Lake in Shandong Province,China and sliced to positive samples and negative samples.Two training algorithms,namely,the stochastic gradient descent algorithm(SGD)and Adam,activation functions ReLU and leaky ReLU,as well as learning rates of 0.001,0.005,0.01,0.05,and 0.1 were combined to form different models,which were trained with epochs 200 times and mini-batch of 100.The results showed that the accuracy of each model was higher than 82%,and the highest accuracy reached 89.53%under the SGD algorithm with ReLU and a learning rate of 0.05 or 0.1,which showed better generalization ability than that of other models.The performance of the proposed method indicates a great potential for automatic sea cucumber identification.

Specific Emitter Identification for IoT Devices Based on Deep Residual Shrinkage Networks

Specific emitter identification can distin-guish individual transmitters by analyzing received signals and extracting inherent features of hard-ware circuits.Feature extraction is a key part of traditional machine learning-based methods,but manual extrac-tion is generally limited by prior professional knowl-edge.At the same time,it has been noted that the per-formance of most specific emitter identification meth-ods degrades in the low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)environments.The deep residual shrinkage network(DRSN)is proposed for specific emitter identification,particularly in the low SNRs.The soft threshold can preserve more key features for the improvement of performance,and an identity shortcut can speed up the training process.We collect signals via the receiver to create a dataset in the actual environments.The DRSN is trained to automatically extract features and imple-ment the classification of transmitters.Experimental results show that DRSN obtains the best accuracy un-der different SNRs and has less running time,which demonstrates the effectiveness of DRSN in identify-ing specific emitters.

Insect pest control is considered as a significant factor in the yield of commercial crops.Thus,to avoid economic losses,we need a valid method for insect pest recognition.In this paper,we proposed a feature fusion residual block to perform the insect pest recognition task.Based on the original residual block,we fused the feature from a previous layer between two 11 convolution layers in a residual signal branch to improve the capacity of the block.Furthermore,we explored the contribution of each residual group to the model performance.We found that adding the residual blocks of earlier residual groups promotes the model performance significantly,which improves the capacity of generalization of the model.By stacking the feature fusion residual block,we constructed the Deep Feature Fusion Residual Network(DFF-ResNet).To prove the validity and adaptivity of our approach,we constructed it with two common residual networks(Pre-ResNet and Wide Residual Network(WRN))and validated these models on the Canadian Institute For Advanced Research(CIFAR)and Street View House Number(SVHN)benchmark datasets.The experimental results indicate that our models have a lower test error than those of baseline models.Then,we applied our models to recognize insect pests and obtained validity on the IP102 benchmark dataset.The experimental results show that our models outperform the original ResNet and other state-of-the-art methods.

Deep Learned Singular Residual Network for Super Resolution Reconstruction

Single image super resolution(SISR)techniques produce images of high resolution(HR)as output from input images of low resolution(LR).Motivated by the effectiveness of deep learning methods,we provide a framework based on deep learning to achieve super resolution(SR)by utilizing deep singular-residual neural network(DSRNN)in training phase.Residuals are obtained from the difference between HR and LR images to generate LR-residual example pairs.Singular value decomposition(SVD)is applied to each LR-residual image pair to decompose into subbands of low and high frequency components.Later,DSRNN is trained on these subbands through input and output channels by optimizing the weights and biases of the network.With fewer layers in DSRNN,the influence of exploding gradients is reduced.This speeds up the learning process and also improves accuracy by using skip connections.The trained DSRNN parameters yield residuals to recover the HR subbands in the testing phase.Experimental analysis shows that the proposed method results in superior performance to existingmethods in terms of subjective quality.Extensive testing results on popular benchmark datasets such as set5,set14,and urban100 for a scaling factor of 4 show the effectiveness of the proposed method across different qualitative evaluation metrics.

Prediction of Load-Displacement Curve of Flexible Pipe Carcass Under Radial Compression Based on Residual Neural Network

The carcass layer of flexible pipe comprises a large-angle spiral structure with a complex interlocked stainless steel cross-section profile, which is mainly used to resist radial load. With the complex structure of the carcass layer, an equivalent simplified model is used to study the mechanical properties of the carcass layer. However, the current equivalent carcass model only considers the elastic deformation, and this simplification leads to huge errors in the calculation results. In this study, radial compression experiments were carried out to make the carcasses to undergo plastic deformation. Subsequently, a residual neural network based on the experimental data was established to predict the load-displacement curves of carcasses with different inner diameter in plastic states under radial compression.The established neural network model’s high precision was verified by experimental data, and the influence of the number of input variables on the accuracy of the neural network was discussed. The conclusion shows that the residual neural network model established based on the experimental data of the small-diameter carcass layer can predict the load-displacement curve of the large-diameter carcass layer in the plastic stage. With the decrease of input data, the prediction accuracy of residual network model in plasticity stage will decrease.

Pre-Impact and Impact Fall Detection Based on a Multimodal Sensor Using a Deep Residual Network

Falls are the contributing factor to both fatal and nonfatal injuries in the elderly.Therefore,pre-impact fall detection,which identifies a fall before the body collides with the floor,would be essential.Recently,researchers have turned their attention from post-impact fall detection to pre-impact fall detection.Pre-impact fall detection solutions typically use either a threshold-based or machine learning-based approach,although the threshold value would be difficult to accu-rately determine in threshold-based methods.Moreover,while additional features could sometimes assist in categorizing falls and non-falls more precisely,the esti-mated determination of the significant features would be too time-intensive,thus using a significant portion of the algorithm’s operating time.In this work,we developed a deep residual network with aggregation transformation called FDSNeXt for a pre-impact fall detection approach employing wearable inertial sensors.The proposed network was introduced to address the limitations of fea-ture extraction,threshold definition,and algorithm complexity.After training on a large-scale motion dataset,the KFall dataset,and straightforward evaluation with standard metrics,the proposed approach identified pre-impact and impact falls with high accuracy of 91.87 and 92.52%,respectively.In addition,we have inves-tigated fall detection’s performances of three state-of-the-art deep learning models such as a convolutional neural network(CNN),a long short-term memory neural network(LSTM),and a hybrid model(CNN-LSTM).The experimental results showed that the proposed FDSNeXt model outperformed these deep learning models(CNN,LSTM,and CNN-LSTM)with significant improvements.

Ash Detection of Coal Slime Flotation Tailings Based on Chromatographic Filter Paper Sampling and Multi-Scale Residual Network

The detection of ash content in coal slime flotation tailings using deep learning can be hindered by various factors such as foam,impurities,and changing lighting conditions that disrupt the collection of tailings images.To address this challenge,we present a method for ash content detection in coal slime flotation tailings.This method utilizes chromatographic filter paper sampling and a multi-scale residual network,which we refer to as MRCN.Initially,tailings are sampled using chromatographic filter paper to obtain static tailings images,effectively isolating interference factors at the flotation site.Subsequently,the MRCN,consisting of a multi-scale residual network,is employed to extract image features and compute ash content.Within the MRCN structure,tailings images undergo convolution operations through two parallel branches that utilize convolution kernels of different sizes,enabling the extraction of image features at various scales and capturing a more comprehensive representation of the ash content information.Furthermore,a channel attention mechanism is integrated to enhance the performance of the model.The combination of the multi-scale residual structure and the channel attention mechanism within MRCN results in robust capabilities for image feature extraction and ash content detection.Comparative experiments demonstrate that this proposed approach,based on chromatographic filter paper sampling and the multi-scale residual network,exhibits significantly superior performance in the detection of ash content in coal slime flotation tailings.
