A subset of machinelearning algorithm called Deep Reinforcement learning (DRL) enables computers or agents to learn behavior by taking actions in a given environment through trial and error while observing the rewards. In this learning paradigm, the agent is given a set of actions to chose and is then rewarded or punished depending on the results of those actions. The agent gradually develops the ability to make the best decisions by maximizing its rewards. DRL blends the learning ability of deep neural networks into the decision making capability of reinforcement learning (RL) frameworks in order to seeks and identify the most favorable set of actions. This survey paper studies DRL applications for diverse imageprocessing tasks. It starts by providing an overview of the latest model-free and model-based RL and DRL algorithms. Then, it looks at how DRL is being used for various imageprocessing tasks including image segmentation and classification, object detection, image registration, image denoising, image restoration, and landmark detection. Lastly, the paper discusses the potential uses and challenges of DRL in the proposed area by addressing the research questions. Survey results have showed that DRL is a promising approach for imageprocessing and that it has the potential to solve complex imageprocessing tasks.

In recent years, there has been a significant expansion in the realm of processing microscopy images, thanks to the advent of machinelearning techniques. These techniques offer diverse applications for imageprocessing. Currently, numerous methods are used for processing microscopy images in the field of biology, ranging from conventional machinelearningalgorithms to sophisticated deep learning artificial neural networks with millions of parameters. However, a comprehensive grasp of the intricacies of these methods usually necessitates proficiency in programming and advanced mathematics. In our comprehensive review, we explore various widely used deep learning approaches tailored for the processing of microscopy images. Our emphasis is on algorithms that have gained popularity in the field of biology and have been adapted to cater to users lacking programming expertise. In essence, our target audience comprises biologists interested in exploring the potential of deep learningalgorithms, even without programming skills. Throughout the review, we elucidate each algorithm's fundamental concepts and capabilities without delving into mathematical and programming complexities. Crucially, all the highlighted algorithms are accessible on open platforms without requiring code, and we provide detailed descriptions and links within our review. It's essential to recognize that addressing each specific problem demands an individualized approach. Consequently, our focus is not on comparing algorithms but on delineating the problems they are adept at solving. In practical scenarios, researchers typically select multiple algorithms suited to their tasks and experimentally determine the most effective one. It is worth noting that microscopy extends beyond the realm of biology;its applications span diverse fields such as geology and material science. Although our review predominantly centers on biomedical applications, the algorithms and principles outlined here are equally appli

Deep neural networks are becoming crucial in many cyber-physical systems involving complex perceptual tasks. For those embedded systems requiring real-time interactions with dynamic environments, as autonomous robots and drones, it is of paramount importance that such algorithms are efficiently executed onboard on properly designed hardware accelerators to meet the required performance specifications. In particular, some neural network architectures for object detection and tracking, as You Only Look Once (YOLO), include heavy computational stages that need to be executed before and after the model inference. Such stages are typically not incorporated in traditional accelerators and are executed on general-purpose processors, thus introducing a bottleneck in the overall processing pipeline. To overcome such a problem, this paper presents a generalpurpose accelerator on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) able to run pre-processing and post-processing operations typically required by vision tasks. The proposed solution has been tested in combination with a YOLO object detector accelerated on an Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Xilinx Kria KR260 board mounting an UltraScale+ multiprocessor system-on-chip, achieving a significant improvement in terms of both timing performance and power consumption, and enabling onboard visual processing into drones. The proposed solution is able to boost the traditional object detection process by a factor of 4.4, allowing the execution of the full processing pipeline at 60 frames per second (fps), versus 13.6 fps reachable without the proposed accelerator. Asa result, this work enables the use of high-speed cameras for developing more reactive systems that can respond to incoming events with lower latency.

Physical sensors are commonly used to record performance data of internal combustion engines (ICEs) for online feedback control and calibration, but they are prone to diagnostic and increased development costs. Lookup tables are commonly used in conventional calibration and feedback control;however, the table parameters increase with the advancement of ICE technologies under transient operations. Consequently, the calibration and control systems are time-consuming. This work proposes novel virtual sensors to address these issues by predicting the combustion, performance, and emission of ICEs using neural networks and imageprocessing/translation. The novel sensors are targeted for onboard feedback control systems under transient driving. Firstly, a virtual diesel engine (VDE) was developed and calibrated against experimental data taken from a production 2.2 L turbocharged diesel engine. The VDE was calibrated under WLTC, JC08, and NEDC transient operations and was used to generate teaching data. Next, the virtual sensors are developed using five machinelearning (ML) regressors. The result shows that the coefficient of determination R-2 from all ML regressors exceeded 0.94, and the XG-Boost outperforms other ML techniques with R-2 > 0.977. XG-Boost parameter estimations were 8 times faster than that on a desktop simulation. Then, an image classification model using a deep convolutional neural network (D-CNN) is constructed, and the dependency of performance parameters and exhaust emissions with the rate of heat release (R.H.R) and in-cylinder pressure profile is confirmed. The performance parameters and emissions dependency was compared individually with R.H.R. and the in-cylinder pressure profile. As a result, a strong correlation between the performance and R.H.R. was observed. Finally, a generative adversarial network (GAN) model was constructed to translate the in-cylinder pressure profile to R.H.R. profile. A novel method to develop virtual sensors for advanced

Accurate diagnosis of plant diseases by the assessment of pathogen presence to reduce disease-related production loss is one of the most fundamental issues for farmers and specialists. This will improve product quality, increase productivity, reduce the use of fungicides, and reduce the final cost of agricultural production. Today, new technologies such as imageprocessing, artificial intelligence, and deep learning have provided reliable solutions in various fields of precision agriculture and smart farm management. In this research, microscopic imageprocessing and machine learning have been used to identify the spores of four common tomato fungal diseases. A dataset including 100 microscopic images of spores for each disease was developed, followed by the extraction of the texture, color, and shape features from the images. The classification results using random forest revealed an accuracy higher than 98%. Besides, as a reliable feature selection algorithm, the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) was used to detect the effective image features to identify and classify diseases. This algorithm recognized image textural features as the most effective features in the diagnosis and classification of disease spores. Considering only the eight most effective features selected with BOA resulted in an accuracy of 95% in disease detection. To further investigate the performance of the proposed method, its accuracy was compared with the accuracies of convolutional neural networks and EfficientNet as two reliable deep learningalgorithms. Not only the prediction accuracy of these methods was not favorable (65 and 83.55%, respectively), they were very time-consuming. According to the findings, the proposed framework has high reliability in disease diagnosis and can help in the management of tomato fungal diseases.

Every year, more than two million Muslim pilgrims from all over the world visit Mecca to perform Hajj worship. The challenge of location identification in dense crowds is significant, leading to dangerous consequences such as injury or loss. Existing works for person localization remain challenged, especially in crowded places like Mecca during Hajj. In this work, we propose a novel location identification method using image pre-processing and different machinelearning classifiers, with the creation of a new image dataset for hotspot locations in Mecca. image pre-processingalgorithms are applied to enhance the geographic information present in the images, and the obtained features are classified using CNN, ANN, and SVM classifiers. Extensive evaluations reveal that the proposed pre-processing algorithm with CNN achieves the best localization performance with an accuracy of 90%, followed by ANN with an accuracy of 84%, and SVM with an accuracy of 80.50%. Without pre-processing, the accuracies are significantly lower: 63% for CNN, 73% for ANN, and 71.50% for SVM. In addition, the proposed approach was compared with other deep learning models, VGG16, AlexNet and ResNet50 on our dataset achieving an accuracy of 61%, 65% and 62%, respectively. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method in comparison with other deep transfer learning methods on a small dataset, offering promising solutions for crowded place navigation.
