Identification of Crop Type in Crowdsourced Road View Photos with Deep Convolutional Neural Network.

ABSTRACT: In situ ground truth data are an important requirement for producing accurate cropland type map, and this is precisely what is lacking at vast scales. Although volunteered geographic information (VGI) has been proven as a possible solution for in situ data acquisition, processing and extracting valuable information from millions of pictures remains challenging. This paper targets the detection of specific crop types from crowdsourced road view photos. A first large, public, multiclass road view crop photo dataset named iCrop was established for the development of crop type detection with deep learning. Five state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural networks including InceptionV4, DenseNet121, ResNet50, MobileNetV2, and ShuffleNetV2 were employed to compare the baseline performance. ResNet50 outperformed the others according to the overall accuracy (87.9%), and ShuffleNetV2 outperformed the others according to the efficiency (13 FPS). The decision fusion schemes major voting was used to further improve crop identification accuracy. The results clearly demonstrate the superior accuracy of the proposed decision fusion over the other non-fusion-based methods in crop type detection of imbalanced road view photos dataset. The voting method achieved higher mean accuracy (90.6-91.1%) and can be leveraged to classify crop type in crowdsourced road view photos.

Project description:ProblemWith the rapid advancement of remote sensing technology is that the need for efficient and accurate crop classification methods has become increasingly important. This is due to the ever-growing demand for food security and environmental monitoring. Traditional crop classification methods have limitations in terms of accuracy and scalability, especially when dealing with large datasets of high-resolution remote sensing images. This study aims to develop a novel crop classification technique, named Dipper Throated Optimization with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks based Crop Classification (DTODCNN-CC) for analyzing remote sensing images. The objective is to achieve high classification accuracy for various food crops.MethodsThe proposed DTODCNN-CC approach consists of the following key components. Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) a GoogleNet architecture is employed to extract robust feature vectors from the remote sensing images. The Dipper throated optimization (DTO) optimizer is used for hyper parameter tuning of the GoogleNet model to achieve optimal feature extraction performance. Extreme Learning Machine (ELM): This machine learning algorithm is utilized for the classification of different food crops based on the extracted features. The modified sine cosine algorithm (MSCA) optimization technique is used to fine-tune the parameters of ELM for improved classification accuracy.ResultsExtensive experimental analyses are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed DTODCNN-CC approach. The results demonstrate that DTODCNN-CC can achieve significantly higher crop classification accuracy compared to other state-of-the-art deep learning methods.ConclusionThe proposed DTODCNN-CC technique provides a promising solution for efficient and accurate crop classification using remote sensing images. This approach has the potential to be a valuable tool for various applications in agriculture, food security, and environmental monitoring.

Project description:Motivation:A majority of known genetic variants associated with human-inherited diseases lie in non-coding regions that lack adequate interpretation, making it indispensable to systematically discover functional sites at the whole genome level and precisely decipher their implications in a comprehensive manner. Although computational approaches have been complementing high-throughput biological experiments towards the annotation of the human genome, it still remains a big challenge to accurately annotate regulatory elements in the context of a specific cell type via automatic learning of the DNA sequence code from large-scale sequencing data. Indeed, the development of an accurate and interpretable model to learn the DNA sequence signature and further enable the identification of causative genetic variants has become essential in both genomic and genetic studies. Results:We proposed Deopen, a hybrid framework mainly based on a deep convolutional neural network, to automatically learn the regulatory code of DNA sequences and predict chromatin accessibility. In a series of comparison with existing methods, we show the superior performance of our model in not only the classification of accessible regions against background sequences sampled at random, but also the regression of DNase-seq signals. Besides, we further visualize the convolutional kernels and show the match of identified sequence signatures and known motifs. We finally demonstrate the sensitivity of our model in finding causative noncoding variants in the analysis of a breast cancer dataset. We expect to see wide applications of Deopen with either public or in-house chromatin accessibility data in the annotation of the human genome and the identification of non-coding variants associated with diseases.

Project description:PURPOSE:To describe and evaluate a new segmentation method using deep convolutional neural network (CNN), 3D fully connected conditional random field (CRF), and 3D simplex deformable modeling to improve the efficiency and accuracy of knee joint tissue segmentation. METHODS:A segmentation pipeline was built by combining a semantic segmentation CNN, 3D fully connected CRF, and 3D simplex deformable modeling. A convolutional encoder-decoder network was designed as the core of the segmentation method to perform high resolution pixel-wise multi-class tissue classification for 12 different joint structures. The 3D fully connected CRF was applied to regularize contextual relationship among voxels within the same tissue class and between different classes. The 3D simplex deformable modeling refined the output from 3D CRF to preserve the overall shape and maintain a desirable smooth surface for joint structures. The method was evaluated on 3D fast spin-echo (3D-FSE) MR image data sets. Quantitative morphological metrics were used to evaluate the accuracy and robustness of the method in comparison to the ground truth data. RESULTS:The proposed segmentation method provided good performance for segmenting all knee joint structures. There were 4 tissue types with high mean Dice coefficient above 0.9 including the femur, tibia, muscle, and other non-specified tissues. There were 7 tissue types with mean Dice coefficient between 0.8 and 0.9 including the femoral cartilage, tibial cartilage, patella, patellar cartilage, meniscus, quadriceps and patellar tendon, and infrapatellar fat pad. There was 1 tissue type with mean Dice coefficient between 0.7 and 0.8 for joint effusion and Baker's cyst. Most musculoskeletal tissues had a mean value of average symmetric surface distance below 1 mm. CONCLUSION:The combined CNN, 3D fully connected CRF, and 3D deformable modeling approach was well-suited for performing rapid and accurate comprehensive tissue segmentation of the knee joint. The deep learning-based segmentation method has promising potential applications in musculoskeletal imaging.
